So explain how the ACA is a health care act.

It's about health care insurance, which helps people get health insurance.

 

Explain how its not about health care please...

Ahhh yes. Health insurance. Because people had no access to health care prior to this act. And you call me brainwashed.

Heard an interesting take by a commentator. He said that because neither party will control both Congress and the White House during the last 2 years of Obama's term (Obama will be president, and the House will be Republican), some Republicans secretly hope that the Democrats will very narrowly retain control of the Senate. That way, the Dems can share in the blame for Congressional dysfunction in the next presidential election.

The national media are downplaying the coming elections, that they've already determined the GOP is going to win big, and they're going with the message:

 

It doesn't really matter what happens in the 2014 elections, even if the Democrats kept the Senate it wouldn't change the do-nothingness of Congress, so a GOP victory is ho-hum, there will be nothing to see when it happens, no one should even notice at all, tomorrow is already so yesterday, and let's talk about 2016, where all the really interesting action is.

 

Compare that to 2006, where the Democrats did to George Bush in his 6th year what the Republicans are about to do to Barack Obama in his 6th year. That was a watershed!

After Dirty Harry loses his job and bills from the House actually start getting brought to the Senate floor, Barry might, just maybe, start working with the Repubs. Because otherwise they'll be passing all sorts of bills, Barry will veto him, and he'll be the president of "no."

Yup, the central point of Conservative victimhood is that the media is a conspiracy against them :doh:

Supremes: Ohioans Have to Wait Until October 7 For Early Voting; World Doesn't End

 

Early voting in Ohio was supposed to start tomorrow, a full 35 days before Election Day. But today, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority allowed the state to carry out voting law as passed by the legislature instead of what a group of misnamed "civil rights" groups wanted.

 

The final paragraph of Ann Sanner's Associated Press coverage of the ruling illustrated how absurd this controversy has become. It related to the lower court ruling the Supremes reversed, and showed that to so many members of the press and public, world history apparently started less than a decade ago.

Here is that final paragraph:

 

On Sept. 4, (U.S. District Judge Peter) Economus sided with the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction and said the measures were unconstitutional and in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The state is appealing to the full 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

 

Let's absorb that for a second.

 

Ohio had no early voting of any kind until 2006. The system was simple: Vote on Election Day or vote absentee if you had a valid excuse out of a list about ten possible reasons for doing so. No one complained until a George Soros-backed group attempted to impose an early-voting and redisctricting regime on the state through the initiative process. The "Reform Ohio Now" initiatives went down by 2-1 margins.

 

Nevertheless, Ohio's current voting regime is about as easy as can be — too easy, in yours truly's opinion:

During the 41 years after the Voting Rights Act's passage, no court ruled that Ohio's election system violated. Now, according to activist judge and Clinton appointee Economus, having 28 days of early voting instead of 35 does. Don't try to make any sense of that, because it makes none.

 

Ann Sanner of the Associated Press apparently has no idea how absurd Economus was, or simply didn't care to note how Ohio election law worked, and perfectly legally, for over four decades. She's hardly alone among journalists.
