Republican won senate primary in NC.

They really want to go home tomorrow so they're doing in one day what they should have been doing in 6 years, working and voting on important bills instead of complaining about the other side by the Majority Leader and blocking every bill that was sent over by the House. :)Wonder what they'll do with the Doc Fix bill. ...

Just needing to vent and network with people who are taking care of an elderly parent. This is going on my second year, and while I have 4 other siblings, I am the only one taking care of her. She had several strokes and is bedridden for the most part. She has recovered somewhat from the stroke but still not walking, but the dementia comes and goes. Sometimes she does not know who I am and calls me one of her sisters, and when I try to correct her, she would say "well that's what the o ...

Wow....instead of working together with the President of the United States on improving our country, doing the peoples' work, and trying to be fair to all Americans, the GOP members of Congress chose making Obama a one-term president as their #1 goal. All those hours working on obstruction, all those missed opportunities to do good things for this country, all that money down the drain. I would grade that a "Major Fail" of their #1 goal. ...

The advice and comments I have received from all of you are priceless. I think I will start finding ways to decrease the 10,000 and work on trying to get her in a nursing home. The advice on how to talk to a dementia person, OMG thanks so much. I always try to correct her and try to get her to understand and sometimes I think it is making her not like me. I will from now on agree with what ever she says, in order to have peace in the home. Once again, thank all of you. I feel a whole lot be ...

when they admitted on page 2 of the linked NYT article it wasn't likely the IRS "targeting" of conservative groups was politically motivated. Senator Roy Blunt R-MO, up for re-election in 2016, and Rep Charles Boustany R-LA were wise to wait until an extended holiday slow-news cycle to make the admission. That way, it might get drowned out by all the celebratory fireworks and gunshots, both intentional and accidental, that produced fatalities and injuries, some of whom were ...

From the NY Times WASHINGTON — For the past two years, Republican senators facing re-election have very deliberately spent millions of dollars, hired multiple consultants and cast scores of conservative votes with one goal in mind: avoiding the embarrassing primary conflagrations that befell their party in 2010 and 2012 and cost Republicans a chance at taking back the Senate.

This isn't a comment about the GOP. I have little doubt that primaries on the other side are run just as....(ahem!) informally. UTAH CAUCUS: First hand insider report - Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot Stuffing!!!Just got back from my caucus... My head is still spinning.Check in was slow but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I've never seen turnout like this.Got my credentials, but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus room.Got to ...

Here's an article about profiteers trying to buy doctor groups to "get control of their patient base and leverage those patients." I believe the model was transcription companies -- the idea was to round them up (Rodeer, anyone?) get control of the hospital accounts and leverage the MTs into accepting less and less. It worked on the little women so why not expand to credentialed men? ...

responding to a 2008 Physicians Foundation Survey, about half stated they would consider leaving medicine. A CNN report summarizing the findings stated that “many [primary care physicians] said they are overwhelmed with their practices, not because they have too many patients, but because there’s too much red tape generated from insurance companies and government agencies.”[2] In response, one would have expected that policymakers, when assessing the merits of a proposed healthcare ...

Dems will crush Dave Brat. But on another note, looks like talking out of both side of the mouth didn't work for Cantor. ...

Reports say he suffered a fall of some sort. The primary was so close that an official winner has still not been declared. Not sure what they do now...declare Aiken the winner (preliminary results had him leading by fewer than 400 votes), or have a runoff between him and the other trailing candidate. ...

physician, the doctor — not insurance companies or government regulators — sets his own rates. His patients pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to office visits and free in-office testing and procedures. And getting rid of the middleman cuts patient costs as much as 50 percent. Savage told Watchdog.org he adopted the DPC model after 12 years of traditional practice so he could focus on his patients instead of bureaucracy. “I wanted to work in a system that facilitated being a qu ...

Senate Health Bill - 1502 pages "It's important to remember that the bill won't exist in this form for long. Senate Majority Leader Reid and Sens. Max Baucus and Chris Dodd along with senior White House aides are merging the Finance and Health Committee legislation into one bill that will be considered on the floor of the Senate. The behind-closed-doors dealings have drawn criticism from Republicans, particularly because President Obama had promised a transparent process and ...

They voted on the Baucus amendment and the Schumer amendment and both failed to pass. I find some of the comments very interesting from both sides. I will not give my comments on either side's remarks although I saw some really hateful speeches. I decided to look for any news reports on this but it doesn't tell the whole story. BTW, Baucus' proposal was to let tax rates rise on Jan. 1 on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples fell on a vote of ...

So it's not over yet. Washington (CNN) -- Now that the House has passed the Senate's health care reform bill and a package meant to reconcile differences between the House and Senate bills, the next step is for members of the Senate to sign off on those changes. That won't be as easy as it sounds. Senate Republicans have indicated they will use any and all legislative tactics in order to slow -- even stop -- the reconciliation bill from passing. President Obama is expected to ...

If GWB did this there would be outrage (rightly so). ...

step down after next year. He's way too conservative for me, but apparently entirely too responsible and independent to suit the teapartiers and their backers. "In his retirement announcement, Mr. Chambliss expressed confidence that he would have beaten such foes, even as he voiced his frustration that compromise was increasingly impossible in Washington. “I have no doubt that had I decided to be a candidate, I would have won re-election,” he said. “Instead, this is ...

WASHINGTON – Sen. Evan Bayh, a centrist Democrat from Indiana, announced Monday that he won't seek a third term in Congress, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a Senate seat. "To put it in words I think most people can understand: I love working for the people of Indiana, I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress," Bayh said at a news conference Indianapolis, where he was joined by his wife and two sons. The departure of Bayh, who was o ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Longshot U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was indicted Friday on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student. A Richland County grand jury indicted Green for disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity - a felony - as well as a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent. Greene, who surprised the Democratic party establishment with his primary victory, was arrested in November ...

Yesterday, with Bob Dole visiting the Senate in his wheelchair in support, the Senate voted on ratifying the treaty adopting the U.N. version of our Americans with Disabilities Act, passed under President George H. W. Bush. In spite of bipartisan leadership by 2 war heroes, John McCain and John Kerry, and strong support among many of the GOP Senators, radical Republicans in the Senate voted AGAINST it. Why? Well, as Rick Santorum explained in his new column for a far-right birther rag, Wo ...

I heard this interview on CNN an hour or so ago, but here's a link. Issa didn't go as far as to say they were drunk, just a strong insinuation, but LaTourette did. So I guess that's the new desperate strategy/talking point of the House... throwing your own party under the bus. ...

Good! Republican leaders in the Senate have told Senate Democrats they will withhold enough votes to prevent a 60-vote majority that would end debate on Hagel and allow a final vote, according to a Senate Democratic leadership aide. The move means Hagel will not be confirmed until at least after the Presidents Day recess, and that he will not be able to travel to a NATO meeting next week where the Afghanistan war will be discussed. Retiring Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has pledged ...
