Bloviation
Oct 30, 2013 10:51:33 #
As this is being written, congressional hearings are under way, the purpose of which are purported to be, finding out the who, why, and what concerning all the problems with ACA. Ms Sebelius is testifying under oath. As in all previous such hearings that I have witnessed, the outcome is primarily composed of bloviation by pompous elected representatives that should be titled as Campaign Speeches. Bloviation is defined "To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner". I am ascribing this definition to every last man and women Jack without reservation or in consideration of party affiliation. I am a conservative and disgusted member of the electorate, and I have the feeling after listening to about 30 minutes of drivel from both sides of the isle, that I know how the Romans must of felt just before their government collapsed into nothingness. What we need is a gigantic eraser that can rid us of this garbage.

Screw letting them settle it between themselves. Put some Lions in there with them and let the best one win.

From what I can see the Republicans are asking all the tough questions to get at the cause of the problems with the PPACA. The democrats on the other hand are defending the MESS up of the On-line Obamacare, sucking up to Sebelius as if she has come in heat and attacking the republicans for seeking the truth.

Yea, I saw this on the news the other day that the "new insurance'" has to provide maternity care. I don't even have the parts left for that even though I am female but there will never be a child in my life now so why do I EVER need that coverage or have to pay for a policy that provides it. This is all for the birds!!!!From what I can see the Republicans are asking all the tough questions to get at the cause of the problems with the PPACA.

You have to admit that she is a good soldier. I can imagine her phone conversation with her boss just before she went into the House:
"Yes sir, I will accept all blame for your screw-up. Yes sir, I will admit that it was I who told you to say that if someone liked their health insurance, they could keep it. Yes sir, I will claim that through your sole efforts sitting in front of your PC, you will have the website up and running without further errors by the end of November. Yes sir, I will not give the actual year of the November deadline. Can I keep my job and 6-figure salary ?"

You must support animal cruelty. Why do you want to inflict Congressional reps on the poor lions?

I read an opinion piece in the WSJ this morning that hit the nail on the head. It was something to the effect that when Jay Carney said, "well, let's be clear about this", that is how he and his boss announce that they are about to turn the fog machine on. Many credible sources went on record to point out that healthcare.gov was not ready for prime time. Why BHO didn't listen is beyond comprehension.
