U.S. Chamber of Commerce President: Regulatory 'tsunami' threatens economy, supports Obamacare repeal
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue delivered his annual “State of American Business” address this morning. Donohue was also emphatic about the problem of overregulation of the American Economy: We must rein in excessive regulations and reform the regulatory process. At the federal level alone, regulations already fill 150,000 pages of fine-print text and cost Americans $1.7 Trillion a year. Many of these rules are necessary and business strongly supports them. Yet in rece...

Bob Kerrey: Tucson Shooter Was Angry About Repeal Of ObamaCare

THE LATEST Democrats Now Say Tucson Shooter Was Angry Because GOP Is Going to Repeal Obamacare (Video)
Do you believe these clowns? Is this what we’re going to have to listen to for the next year? That the crazy leftwing pothead killer shot up a Safeway because of Sarah Palin, or the Tea Party… or ObamaCare? Former leftwing Senator Bob Kerrey told Imus this morning that the reason the shooter was angry was because Republicans are going to Repeal Obamacare. Of course, there is not one iota of truth in that statement....

Democrat: Giffords Shooter Was Angry Because Republicans Are Trying To Repeal Obamacare
“It’s one of the reasons this guy was angry,” says former Senator Bob Kerrey of Jarred Loughren. Right. So that’s why he murdered a Democrat member of Congress who voted for ObamaCare. Anyone else starting to get the feeling that Democrats consider any and all opposition to their agenda is what inspired Loughren? Meanwhile, in the United Arab Emriates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton blames the shooting on “Extremists” who “sometimes get on TV.”...

Demo Rep. Chellie Pingree: Republicans Should Change the Name of Their Health Care Repeal Bill
Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) thinks using the term "Job Killing" in the title of the Republican's ObamaCare Repeal bill is too vitriolic. (HuffPo)- A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to Repeal Health Care reform. The bill, titled the “Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act,” was set to come up for a vote this week, but in the wake of Gabby’s shooting, it has been po...

Rep. Shuler: Repealing Obamacare Would be 'Immoral' and Take Away Health Insurance from Children
Monday, January 10, 2011 By Dan Joseph Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) (AP photo) (CNSNews.com) - Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) will not support Republican efforts to Repeal the Health Care bill that he voted against in 2010 and will not vote to defund many provisions in the bill that are already in effect. On Capitol Hill last week, CNSNews.com asked Shuler: “Rep. Steve King is advocating including language in every appropriations bill to prohibit money from that bill funding implementation of O...

New Website: Repeal Obamacare, No More Obamacare
American Solutions has started a new website to push the anti-Obamacare issue. Obviously the House will likely do a good job pushing Repeal measures but the problem will be the Senate. This site will focus on those recalcitrant Senators that might try to hamper the movement to repeal....

Global Warming Part II: It Really Doesn't Matter What The Facts Are; The Important Thing Is That Our Theory Is Vindicated No Ma
Allah makes a good point that deserves underscoring. Former Senator Bob Kerrey just made the claim that he doesn't know what Loughner's politics are (they're sort of pro-Matrix), and further, that we shouldn't read much into his politics whatever they are. That said, he's pretty sure it's the right's fault. No one can say what drove Loughner violently mad; but we're pretty confident it's anger caused by the Tea Party at ObamaCare. Here''s Allah on that: There’s not a shred of evidence I know of...

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey: Arizona Shooter Was Angry About Health Care Reform
Former Senator Bob Kerrey called into Imus in the Morning and said although Congress should postpone business temporarily as a result of the Arizona shooting, to do so for much longer would not be a good idea. Also despite the investigation not yet revealing the killer’s true motives, Kerrey did not hesitate to offer up some speculation. Kerrey suggested: “Tomorrow they were going to vote to Repeal this Health Care bill, and well it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate, it&...

Rep. Goodlatte Would Support Defunding Obamacare if Repeal Effort Unsuccessful
Monday, January 10, 2011 By Dan Joseph Rep. Bob Goodlatter (R-Va.) Washington (CNSNews.com) -  A Virginia Republican congressman told CNSNews.com that he would not only vote for full Repeal of President Obama’s Health Care Legislation passed last March, but that he would also support efforts to defund the Legislation if Repeal efforts fail. On Capitol Hill last week, CNSNews.com asked Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.): “Rep. Steve King of Iowa is advocating including language in every appropr

Dem Rep - Don't Use Term "Job Killing" In Obamacare Repeal Bill
Here we go, from Democratic House Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maryland, writing at HuffPo (emphasis mine), who claims that the ObamaCare Repeal bill must be renamed in the wake for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting: As I write this, the motivation behind the shooting of my friend Gabby Giffords and eleven others isn't clear. We don't know what prompted the shooter to show up at Gabby's Congress on Your Corner at a Tucson Grocery Store with a semiautomatic pistol and the motivation to kill innocent pe...

House moves forward on ObamaCare repeal
In a procedural vote on Friday, the House of Representatives moved forward on plans to Repeal ObamaCare by instructing committees to begin marking up Legislation to replace the law passed in March of last year: The vote was 236-182 in favor of approving the rule, which is a House requirement setting the parameters of debate on underlying legislation. Usually, the rule is approved the same day as a final vote on legislation, but in this case, the vote on the bill won’t occur until next week...

It's Hard to Put a Price on Obamacare
The vote on repealing the Health Care bill looks likely to be delayed for a while, which gives us more time to quarrel over what such a Repeal would mean. Not what it will mean, of course--Republicans don't have the votes to get it through the Senate, so this is largely a symbolic move. But there's still plenty of room to argue about what would happen if they managed to retake the Senate and get it done. Democrats are pointing to the CBO score on repeal, which estimates that repealing the law wo...

Dem Congresswoman Says GOP Shouldnt Use Job Killing in Name of ObamaCare Repeal Bill
asdfjldfskjlsdf dfskl;asDF;K…sorry about that, I was banging my head off the keyboard. (Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) via Huff Po)-As I write this, the motivation behind the shooting of my friend Gabby Giffords and eleven others isn’t clear. We don’t know what prompted the shooter to show up at Gabby’s Congress on Your Corner at a Tucson Grocery Store with a semiautomatic pistol and the motivation to kill innocent people.

The left is not about to waste this 'crisis'
Theme: The left's immediate reaction to the Arizona shooting proves, again, that it will not forgo any chance to exploit a tragedy ("crisis"). Minor theme: In the process, mostly through projection of its own perversions, it is setting records for hypocrisy, irrationality and unfairness. Politico reported that after the shootings, one Veteran Democratic operative said that President Obama should "deftly pin this on the tea partiers. Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma...

Republicans Delay Repeal Vote On ObamaCare
The weekend shooting in Arizona at a Congressional event with constituents has led House Republicans to delay a Repeal vote against President Obama's Health Care bill. Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and remains in critical condition and a Congressional aide was killed along with five other people in an attack which has ignited a debate about the tone of political Partisanship in the nation. The motive of the young gunman remains unclear although liberal and conservative com...

America under ObamaCare, Day 294: repeal will save trillions
Even if some of the most conservative estimates of participation in ObamaCare prove to be correct in the next 15 years, the Legislation will still mean expenditures of about $102.8 billion every year once fully implemented, or about $1 Trillion over ten years. Why? Because, as supporters claim, the program will offer health coverage to about 32 million new people. 15.9 million new enrollees in Medicaid by 2019, as estimated by Kaiser Family Foundation, at an average federal cost of $4,950 per in...

Good morning Panama City, lets get real about budget cuts
The politicians are still talking about Social Security cuts, and we have discussed that idea at some length previously.  The reason they want to cut Social Security is because it is a big program in comparison with other federal Budget items.  It is also funded by taxes that are separate from other income taxes.  They would like to divert those funds to the general revenue funds. That is why the Social Security program has most of the problems that it now has; Congress can’...

Chris Korzen: If the Health Care Repeal Vote Is Symbolic, Why Have Such a Divisive Debate?
At a moment when we need to tone down the discourse in our politics, why have a purely symbolic debate over Health Care Repeal in the U.S. House of Representatives? The debate may take us back to the worst days of the Health Care discussion, when swastikas were commonplace at anti-reform rallies, and some Talk Radio and TV turned into hate radio and TV. Will opponents talk about "Death Panels," or "killing grandma?"  Will people carry signs that say "bury ObamaCare with Kennedy" or wear t-shi...

U.S. Chamber of Commerce backs health repeal
Source: Politico U.S. Chamber of Commerce backs health Repeal By CHRIS FRATES | 1/11/11 1:20 PM EST U.S Chamber of Commerce president Tom Donohue said Tuesday that the powerful business lobby supports the House Republican Legislation to repeal President Obama’s Health Care reform law. “Last year, while strongly advocating Health Care reform, the Chamber was a leader in the fight against this particular bill — and thus we support Legislation in the House to repeal it,” Donohue said during

Repeal vote postponed, but will Giffords shooting change debate?
House Republican leadership immediately postponed the vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act after Saturday's shootings that killed six and left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords critically injured. Congressional Quarterly's Congress.org is hopeful that the Rhetoric in the debate once Congress takes it back up will "settle down." “There will be a time of introspection,” said Rep. Michael C. Burgess of Texas, a physician and vice chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on ...

Chamber Will Support Repeal Effort After Saying It Would Stay Out
When the Affordable Care Act passed last March, the powerful Chamber of Commerce initially ruled out any future efforts in support of Repeal. "If people want to try and repeal, let them," Thomas Donahue, the Chamber's president, told the Wall Street Journal. "We're not going to spend any capital on that." During the Midterm Elections, however, the Chamber ran more than 25,000 ads, almost all of them against Democrats and most of those demonizing the Candidates' support for Health Care reform. No...
