zoux posted:Well there's no such thing as just "welfare", unless Louisiana is vastly different from every other country in the US. It's people responding to whatever they think of as welfare - I just think it unlikely that they'd include medical care in that after hearing healthcare as option, even if they normally have a nebulous definition of welfare that includes it. But then holding conflicting views is a thing people do, so maybe they do.

I don't remember the fellas name, but it was essentially a poison pill amendment included by a GOP senator that required congress and their staff get their insurance on the exchange instead of the federal government provided plan. And it actually does the opposite of making them exempt, it forces them to use "Obamacare"(get insurance on the exchanges) instead of having an employer provided plan.

I wonder how smug he felt when he proposed it, and how defeated he felt when he realized that Democrats both knew what his game was and went along with it.

And just gloss over the fact that if anyone in his family gets sick he'd have to pay in full out of pocket? After all, freedom isn't free, Senator.

In an update from the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, Senator Cornyn introduced an amendment to the budget that would replace the GOP budget with Obama's budget so that all of the Republican Senators could register a vote against Obama's budget. Senator Sanders then objected noting that Cornyn's replacement wasn't Obama's actual budget proposal and was missing key provisions. The vote on the amendment failed, 1-98.

Please tell me he's going to be called on this if he makes it as far as a debate. Saying Harry Reid and Obama forced this is a flatout lie.

You can enroll out of season too even without change-of-life events but you can't get subsidies. I hope Cruz gets a good insurance that keeps him and his family healthy.

I hope he encounters a life changing event that causes him to have to leave his seat, but otherwise doesn't affect his quality of life negatively. In other words, I'd just really like it if he didn't legislate.

Quote of the night, "Although I don’t like it, and conservatives don’t like it, which part of his experience are we questioning with Obama? He got Obamacare done, and we didn’t like it. Did he achieve that because of his inexperience? I don't think so. Did he get it because he’s ineffective? We might not like it, it's been a disaster, but he’s delivered on his agenda. As far as I can tell he’s been running rings around Republican leaders." ~ Rick Tyler, spokesman for Ted Cruz.

"Despite attempts by the Democrats to make it so, our colleague Senator Grassley made sure the Democrats could not exempt the government from the law. We are bound by this job killing, liberty stealing legislation just as you are, and suffer under it just as you do, which is why we are so committed to repealing it."

Fried Chicken posted:kinda surprised someone so clear eyed about it is on Cruz's team It's prefaced on the idea of Cruz as a ballsy outsider who plays by his own rules, man, separate from those stodgy GOP establishment types Obama's been kicking the poo poo out of (and who not coincidentally all loathe Cruz for being such a consistent, contrarian rear end in a top hat). Of course, this doesn't stand up to basic scrutiny, or such penetrating questions like, "so why was Reid able to get a dozen Obama nominees confirmed at the 11th hour of 2014, anyway?"

There might be some interesting voting experiments in the 2016 primary race. Massachusetts is considering Instant Runoff Voting for ballots cast by overseas military personnel, with the reasoning that they have to cast their ballots long before the actual primary and their first choice candidate might have dropped out by the time their vote is counted. Meanwhile, Utah is considering online voting, so congratulations Ron Paul on winning the 2016 Utah Caucuses!

How does that work from an Equal Protection standpoint? Some voters get different ballots under different rules? I mean on the one hand, they're only using second/third/etc choices if the higher choices drop from the primary, but it just seems weird.

A thousandth scandal has hit the White House, Begoniaghazi.quote:[T]he recent exit of head florist Laura Dowling, who’d been in the job since 2009, has been a much quieter affair. So hush hush, in fact, that most outside of 1600 Penn knew nothing about it. There’s still no official comment on why Dowling is no longer at the White House, but according to a source with close ties to current residence staffers, she was escorted from the building on Friday Feb. 13. Also acceptable: Waterlilygate, Chrysantequiddick, Columbine. The point is, WHAT IS SHE HIDING BEHIND THAT FLORAL ARRANGEMENT?!?!

Scott Walker now wants to ruin Weekendsquote:Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a leading aspirant for the Republican nomination for president, made his state the 25th "right-to-work" state in the nation on March 9 when he signed a measure passed by the Republican-controlled legislature. The guys state is in sweltering debt, companies are packing their bags and leaving town, and he's just doing nothing but salivating over the Kochs.

Samurai Sanders posted:I still remember American history class, how before legal protections, rail workers would have their legs cut off by train accidents and have to keep working if they wanted to not die in the streets. People literally fought and died fighting companies for these rights before the Federal Government had to bring in the National Guard to stop private security firms from gunning down unions to get these rights. And these fuckers are just rolling it all back, while at the same time Scott Walker is about to skip a $108 billion dollar debt payment, which flies directly in the fact of the CPAC and GOPs promise to cut debt and support the Middle Class.
