Have A Koch And A. . .Hint Of Queasiness

by Smitty I can hear the Lefties arguing “If ObamaCare helps at least ONE person. . .”. Which is garbage. The rebuttal: “Cure worse than the disease” comes to mind. Via Instapundit Update: Via the YouTube comments, check out Right Wing Extremist Kurt Schlichter, bogarting all the jobs:

Good-Bye, Employer Mandate?

An interesting article at Politico: Robert Gibbs’ prediction that Obamacare’s employer mandate would — and perhaps should — be jettisoned shocked Democrats back in April.

So What If The #VA Scandal Is Just #ObamaCare Meets #Benghazi?

by Smitty Americans in general and veterans in particular are far too spun up about the VA scandal. This has led to at least one scurrilous photo-bumming incident already. And why?

Democrat Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Recycles ‘War on Women’ Theme
