Someone else said this:
As a white latino who is conservative and make no fuss about it, I have simply taken the easier path to avoid more discussions on the issue and "please" the Liberal-left:

In 2000 I voted against Al Gore because he was the Democrat candidate, and I am not a Democrat.

In 2004 I voted against John Kerry because he was the Democrat candidate, and I am not a Democrat.

In 2008 and 2012 I voted against Barak Obama because...oh yeah, Im racist.

That's that. See? Easy.

Security holes big enough to drive a dump truck full of stolen identities through.

I actually warned my peeps on facebook about it, but then I realized I didn't want the IRS audit that comes from criticizing Obama publicly, so I deleted the post.

Security was never actually built in to it.

Other websites get hacked too. Why should healthcare.gov be any different?

George W Bush increases programs to fight AIDS in Africa: Scumbag
Hillary Clinton reduces funding for those programs: let's give her an award fpr fighting AIDS

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner....-andrew

Hillary Clinton is set to receive an award on Tuesday evening from the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) for her “legacy of leadership” in combating HIV/AIDS.

That may bit a bit awkward, given that, as secretary of state, Clinton riled AIDS activists by slashing the State Department’s programs for AIDS prevention and treatment. One prominent activist lamented in April the “persistent shortchanging of PEPFAR,” the AIDS relief plan established by President George W. Bush in 2003, calling it one of the “more significant and perplexing trends in America’s global health policy.”

Obamacare website payment system still isn't built.

http://www.jammiewf.com/2013....payment

$600 million, now? And it is still nothing more than a website with a little script serving up prices, can't even always do that, can't generate valid data out the back end, has zero security, and the shopping cart hasn't even been written? It is almost enough to make me believe in god, and that he has a sick sense of humor. I think the dtman forum has better functionality than that, and it was free software.

Hey, isn't obama on a obamacare victory tour, at the moment?

someones random thoughts
In the podcast last night (which will be available tomorrow), we talked a lot about the coming Crisis. We tried to figure out exactly what the hell was going to happen on January 1st, given that Obamacare kicked five million people off their insurance, and would certainly not manage to sign up that many by the deadline.

Especially given that payments must be made by mail.

And that premiums are now very high.

And that one-third of all 834's sent to insurers are riddled with errors.

And that the whole system is in chaos.

What will happen January 1 when thousands of people have car crashes or other need for insurance, but don't have it, due to Obama's incompetence and stubborness?

John Ekdahl suggested that Obama will just order hospitals and doctors to treat anyone who says he has insurance, whether he does or not. I believe Ekdahl's term was that Obama will order everyone to be "deemed" as covered by insurance.

Eh, I don't know that there's anything that might possibly happen to sway either base of a major party. If you're a Democrat and Obama didn't give you pause, I don't know what extreme has to happen. Same thing with the pachyderms and any of the generic douchebags they've put up for office since their Saviour had to leave office in '89.

I just think they will have to do a lot more voter fraud than in the past to win the next round, if things stay as they are.

But a lot can change in 3 years, so whatever. Pointless to predict the next presidential race at this point. Would be nice if we could have both halves of congress opposing the king, though.

If someone can come up with a combination of major historic firsts in a candidate who is also charismatic, then they might be able to get that young power base fired up again. But it would take two points of novelty this time to pull it off. Like "first Hispanic female President" or "first gay Jewish President". Just one won't be enough. And they'll still have to be powerfully charismatic.

70% of doctors in California will not join the exchanges.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/doctors....2540272

They say the exchange rates are not high enough. Which means the good, successful doctors won't get paid enough. So which doctors are signing up?
