Hoyer Confirms Dems to ‘Deem’ Budget Enforcement Resolution

And worst of all a President who ignores his responsibility and makes a disaster he did not cause, worse by his inaction…

What’s the common theme here folks?: Democrats, Democrats, Democrats. They are a cancer on our state and the nation. Strong words? You bet! But it’s undeniable. They destroy everything they touch. As Governor Sununu has often said “The Democrats are ruining New Hampshire”. And their cohorts in Washington are spending us into oblivion as Dear Leader plays golf while the Gulf states suffer through his negligence. It’s thoroughly disgusting. These aren’t just policy differences folks. This is one party, driven by their far left ideology, systematically dismantling everything that made this state and this nation the greatest on earth.

Had enough yet?

NEW YORK (Fortune) — In promoting his health-care agenda, President Obama has repeatedly reassured Americans that they can keep their existing health plans — and that the benefits and access they prize will be enhanced through reform.

A close reading of the two main bills, one backed by Democrats in the House and the other issued by Sen. Edward Kennedy’s Health committee, contradict the President’s assurances. To be sure, it isn’t easy to comb through their 2,000 pages of tortured legal language. But page by page, the bills reveal a web of restrictions, fines, and mandates that would radically change your health-care coverage.

If you prize choosing your own cardiologist or urologist under your company’s Preferred Provider Organization plan (PPO), if your employer rewards your non-smoking, healthy lifestyle with reduced premiums, if you love the bargain Health Savings Account (HSA) that insures you just for the essentials, or if you simply take comfort in the freedom to spend your own money for a policy that covers the newest drugs and diagnostic tests — you may be shocked to learn that you could lose all of those good things under the rules proposed in the two bills that herald a health-care revolution.

In short, the Obama platform would mandate extremely full, expensive, and highly subsidized coverage — including a lot of benefits people would never pay for with their own money — but deliver it through a highly restrictive, HMO-style plan that will determine what care and tests you can and can’t have. It’s a revolution, all right, but in the wrong direction.

Let’s explore the five freedoms that Americans would lose under Obamacare:

Tennessee’s Troubled ‘Public Option’ – TennCare – Could Foreshadow Obama’s Health Care Plan
July 20, 2009
CNSNews.com

State of Tennessee (CNSNews.com) – A government-run health insurance plan is enacted on the promise of increasing competition and bringing down costs, but over the years, as more people leave their private insurance to take the “public option,” the cost to operate the government plan skyrockets.

Various litigation ensues, preventing the government’s attempt to reform or cut benefits. Eventually, dramatic cuts become necessary.

This is not a hypothetical scenario sketched by opponents of the health care overhaul plans working their way through Congress. Rather, it is the case of what happened with a state plan in Tennessee.

Have you heard the latest spin by the tax-and-spenders who control state government these days?

The Democrats say the new budget passed by the House and Senate and signed by Gov. John Lynch is “lean.” They say we are doing more with less. And they say spending is reduced.

Don’t believe a word of it!

At a time when 50,000 Granite Staters are out of work and paring down their home budgets to fit declining incomes, government spending continues to grow at breakneck speed.

Peter Bragdon, of Milford, is the Republican leader in the New Hampshire Senate.

James Delingpole talks to Professor Ian Plimer, the Australian geologist, whose new book shows that “anthropogenic global warming” is a dangerous, ruinously expensive fiction, a “first-world luxury” with no basis in scientific fact. Shame on the publishers who rejected the book

Imagine how wonderful the world would be if man-made global warming were just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination. No more ugly wind farms to darken our sunlit uplands. No more whopping electricity bills, artificially inflated by EU-imposed carbon taxes. No longer any need to treat each warm, sunny day as though it were some terrible harbinger of ecological doom. And definitely no need for the $7.4 trillion cap and trade (carbon-trading) bill – the largest tax in American history – which President Obama and his cohorts are so assiduously trying to impose on the US economy.

Imagine no more, for your fairy godmother is here. His name is Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at Adelaide University, and he has recently published the landmark book Heaven And Earth, which is going to change forever the way we think about climate change.

Ex-governor blames state budget and gay marriage on Legislature serving special interests

PORTSMOUTH — John H. Sununu, former Republican governor and current chairman of the state GOP, said Thursday the state budget passed by the Legislature this week is a deliberate step by Democrats toward a state income tax.

And, he said, the time the Legislature spent on social issues — particularly the passage of a same-sex marriage law — is a kickback to “radical left groups” from out of state that funded Democrats’ campaigns in 2006 and 2008.
