REPEAL OBAMACARE?
Not
surprisingly, a number of weak-kneed Republicans are hoisting the white flag of
surrender in the fight to repeal ObamaCare, but not Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who in a recent op-ed
wrote the following…
“(M)any Beltway insiders claim that ObamaCare cannot be repealed because they wish to preserve the financial windfalls the law has brought them. But even many conservative ‘thinkers’ in Washington have given in to ObamaCare fatalism. They may not say so in public, but they fully believe that talk of the law’s repeal exists only in the land of unsophisticated rubes.“The country that won two world wars and put a man on the moon cannot, it is believed, repeal a disastrous public policy. Says who? Why not? The idea that ObamaCare cannot be repealed defies both logic and real world justification, on multiple levels.”
That’s
what is called a fighter. A fighter is
not someone who paid lip-service and little pro bono legal assistance in an
unsuccessful court challenge and then not only quit the fight, but joined the
other side – like state Sen. Mark
Hutchison (R-Personal Injury Lawyer) did last year.
The
answer to the ObamaCare disaster isn’t to give up the fight, but to give up on
those who have given up the fight.
That’s the reason for primaries!
On
another front, ObamaCare’s increasing unpopularity is bad news for liberal
Democrat candidate Erin Bilbray-Kohn
here in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. I received the following Monday morning from Emily Davis of the Congressional
Leadership Fund…
Erin Bilbray’s week is already off to a rough start with news of “mounting danger” for her in NV-03. New POLITICO polling of competitive districts, which included NV-03, shows an ominous political forecast for an Obamacare champion like Erin Bilbray. Here are a few top lines from the poll:
- Nearly 9 in 10 respondents say Obamacare is important in determining their vote, including 49% who cite the law as “very important.”
- Nearly half (48%) favor repealing Obamacare, while 35% support modifications and 16% support the law as is.
- Voters favor the Republican candidate over the Democratic candidate by 7 points, 41% to 34%.
Nevadans who are enduring Obamacare’s broken promises, higher costs and fewer choices know firsthand what Erin Bilbray refuses to accept: the law simply doesn’t work.
If
you think it’s worthwhile to continue fighting to repeal ObamaCare, then
neither Mark Hutchison nor Erin Bilbray-Kohn are your candidates.
WHERE FOR ART THOU CATHIE
LYNN
Love
the sentiment expressed in this email by reader Darwin Rockantansky in response to Monday’s item about the fake tea
partiers Cathie Lynn & Art Gisi…
“I don't have the time to vet all would be candidates. That is why I rely on people I trust, like yourself, to keep the picture clear for me. However, I do have one litmus test: If Cathy-Lynn-Lot-of-Names and her lap dog Art say just one thing in favor of a candidate, THAT is the candidate I will not even consider.”
What
he said.
Added
another real tea partier who asked to remain anonymous…
“Caught onto Kathy and Company back when she was working for Danny Tarkanian. And remember, they worked in Sharon Angle’s office, and I believe did damage. Nothing they said made sense for a Tea Party group. I think they have run their course...most everyone knows who they are and what they are doing.”
Let’s
hope so.
WHY TAX-FREE ZONES
ARE…BAD?
There’s
a lot of talk about establishing tax-free economic development zones,
especially in places like Detroit where liberal governance has destroyed that
once-vibrant metropolis. Others seek to establish such zones just in
blighted sections of various cities. Which raises two questions…
1.)
If tax-free zones help economic development and job creation, why not make
EVERYWHERE a tax-free zone? Or in the case of Nevada – where only the
largest of employers are being screwed by the state’s employee “head tax” – why
not repeal that tax for everybody?
2.)
How is it “equal protection” for the government to give special tax-free
benefits to a retail store in a government-designated tax-free zone and not everywhere
else? Why is it a proper role of government to give one private business
entity a competitive advantage over others? Where in the Constitution did
Madison include the right of government to pick winners and losers in the
free-market economy?
Tax-free
zones sound good in theory, especially to anti-tax conservatives. But
upon further, deeper inspection, there are problems.

THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF
MARK SUREWOULD
So
after our run at the dog park behind Sam’s Town early yesterday morning, I
drove into the Smith’s parking lot to pick up some donuts for the kids. I rolled down the car windows to make sure “Prancer”
had fresh air and no animal welfare goofball would pitch a fit.
She
was pretty tuckered out and just laid down on the back seat where no one could see her. Still, after getting out of the car I wanted
to make sure she knew to stay there. So I
walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying
emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay! Stay!"
Little
did I know that mental midget and former state Assemblyman Mark “Sure Would” Sherwood was standing right behind me. He gave me a strange look and said…
"Why
don't you just put it in 'Park'?"
