[Clementine]

Good heavens, it's time to put Pelosi in a nursing home. Why is she still in a position of power when she has clearly lost her mind? Check out this video of her being her usual batshit crazy self.

To most of the real world..it hasn't.

There were a very few exceptions made.

It's sorta unreal that you folks hold up bumps in the road as abject failure.

With that sort of thinking NOTHING would have ever been invented.

dimocraps lie. It's what they do.

When a dimocrap gets roasted by Politifact? It's a whopper

WaPo Fact Checks Pelosi’s Claim Employer Mandate “Was Not Delayed” … Gives Her 3 Pinocchios, Says She’s “Denying Reality”…



Which was blatantly obvious from the second she said it.

Via WaPo:

“The point is, is that the mandate was not delayed. Certain reporting by businesses that could be perceived as onerous, that reporting requirement was delayed, and partially to review how it would work and how it could be better. It was not a delay of the mandate for the businesses, and there shouldn’t be a delay of the mandate for individuals.”

— House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), news conference [...]

The Pinocchio Test

Encouraging employers to provide health insurance is not the same thing as mandating it. We understand Pelosi’s desire to minimize the impact of the decision — and supporters of the law may have a strong case that the employer mandate is not as central to the law as the individual mandate to buy insurance — but that’s not an excuse to deny reality.

Yes, reporting requirements were delayed. But, as a consequence of that action, there also was a one-year delay of the actual employer mandate. It’s right there in the announcement.

Update: Some readers have asked why this claim did not result in Four Pinocchios. We initially were tempted to award that rating, but decided that Pelosi did describe correctly what Treasury did, which is delay reporting requirements. But she then acted as if there was no consequence, which is incorrect. The difference between a Three and a Four is sometimes narrow, and we ultimately concluded she just missed earning a Four. But it was certainly a close call.

Nothing was invented here except a giant legislative disaster by a bunch of morons who should be cleaning up trash along roadsides.

Ol' Nancy is just following the Three Steps of Political Partisans:

1. Make shit up
2. When called on it, spin, deny, divert
3. Make some other shit up

You kinda expect it from dimocrap politicians.

But in the last ten years, it's been taken up by day-to-day dimocraps everywhere.

dimocraps lie. It's what they do.

And when you call them on it, when you catch them, they go into their Monkey Dance and throw poopy at everything and everybody.

I don't like dimocraps.

Pelosi shows signs of being senile, yet some still look up to her. How stupid are those who vote for someone who doesn't even know what is happening with the bill she was so anxious to pass so we could see what was in it?

The government has been blatantly caught is so many deceptions in the past decade that I really don't think they give a shit what we think anymore.

So....one Pinocchio goes in her mouth. What of the other two?

Simple question....
The Democrats wanted this why are they now running away from it?

It was never intended to work, it was intended to be the vehicle to single payor.

Interesting...
The WH lied about how many people don't have health care.
They put out the figure of 48 million or so.
Then they put their hero cape on Obama and he is the only one to fix it.
Then it get's all screwed up.
So now Obama throws up his hands and says I tried but this is soooo fucked up
the only way to fix it is to have government run all healthcare.

 

[Rozman]

I think this administration is dangerous.
