So did you hear Darell Issa's newest stinking turd? :breathlessly: Only 248 people actually purchased insurance through the healthcare.gov website on October 1! Obamacare has failed!

Comment by Scoopster on 11/01/2013 13:31:11
Goooood mornin' all & Happy Fridee!

As part of my ongoing efforts to control & lose weight, I bought a digital scale a few days ago. The thing is an absolute piece of shit - I swear I'm not sure if I've ever gotten an accurate reading out of it. This morning I tried five times - I got weights of 120, 186, 340, 343, 400 and it overloaded a buncha times so I had to retry. If I had to guess the two middle numbers are about right tho, which means since my last doctors visit (end of August) I'm down 15-20 lbs.

I'm taking this thing back to the store tomorrow and getting a normal, old-fashioned analog one.

And yet, the Director of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in testimony they won;t have those numbers until the first week of this month. I smell a rat, here.

"Documents show..." I think you mean documents massaged by Darrell Issa's staff to cast the sign up to insurance in the worst possible light. Hey media, Darrell Issa is a partisan hack.

Found it!
Enrollment figures, however, remain vague. Fending off Camp’s persistent questioning, Tavenner repeated numerous times that the administration will make enrollment data available in mid-November. She deflected questions about early enrollment trends.

Oh great.. now even Politico (the source of the quotes you cited Raine) is saying it. , and compounding it.

This media trolling is seriously getting out of control. This isn't fucking journalism people, it's sensationalism garbage.

How are we defining enrollment? Are we talking about the number of people who created accounts? Are talking about people who actually purchased insurance on day one? What does that exactly mean?

Exactly!

Here's the thing -- I highly doubt ANYONE bought anything on day one.

Why would they? You create an account -- then you shop.

Why would someone do all that on day one? They are fucking idiots, and it's REALLY starting to piss me off.

I can see a highly motivated person getting that taken care of right away. Maybe even 248 of them


What I am trying to get at is the number of people who created accounts vs the number of people who actually purchased an insurance policy on day 1.

Dear CBS and Issa and all the other ObamaScare people. I've had this bookmarked for over a week. Now... seriously, If I can find this information surely they can as well.

THEY ARE LYING!

White House decorated for Halloween fest for trick-or-treating military kids... If you get a chance check out the video I posted this morning -- from last night.

I found out later that the young lady in question, who went to the White house was quite displeased as she did not have an audience with POTUS and FLOTUS.


... Also -- I have a wish. A wish that on the last Halloween of his presidency President Obama dressed up as a witch doctor. It would be the absolute BEST FU ever.

You are lying to the American people. 248 people "enrolled" at healthcare.gov on day 1. What exactly does that weasel statement mean, liar? Yes I called you a liar, twice in fact.

Yeah, that is cool and creepy -- and actually useful.

I was going to share the link last week, but I wanted to see if they kept updating it -- and they do. It's pretty awesome, and kinda blows this bullshite meme out of the water.

Apparently Issa chooses to ignore every damn state exchange.

I just noticed a change on the NY TV dial. Harold Camping (the rapture is happening in 2011) has given up his religious station and it switched today to carrying MHz Worldview with the hodgepodge of programming from the international news channels that you get in the DC area although I don't think it includes any RT en Espanol programming.

Comment by livingonli on 11/01/2013 17:58:43
The NRA is really in denial about how high gun violence is in this country compared to elsewhere in the world. It also helps when your biggest financial backers are the weapons manufactures who make a killing as long as the gun market is wide open.
