Always an avid reader and follower of current events, these daily commentaries provide the chance to share thoughts. Closely following the news also permits opportunities to formulate opinions on those attracting coverage.
In that regard, as mentioned on previous occasions, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) has got to be one of the least intelligent beings that ever existed.
According to The Hill via Fox News on-line, “Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Tuesday predicted a ‘tsunami’ election for the GOP this fall. “Primarily due to ObamaCare of which he said, ‘It is a poisonous issue for Democrats.’"
In rebuttal Schultz "insisted her party’s tech advantage coupled with the GOP’s tendency to nominate flawed candidates would help her party hold the line.”
So, here we have a purely political hack who’s given an opportunity to present information demonstrating reasons why her party will prevail due to positive accomplishment. But having none, instead of professionally trying to change the subject or gloss her party’s image, she instead replies that the political machine that’s been built will prevail regardless of their faults, further smearing her opponents as “flawed” while representing the most incompetent bunch of incapable ciphers that ever existed.
However, in some ways this Schultz empty skirt might be right because, also according to Fox News, Rand Paul believes, “The Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues. The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”
Yet “Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, sought to draw a distinction between his and fellow potential 2016 contender Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., approach to social issues during a Tuesday visit to Iowa. Cruz told the Des Moines Register the GOP, “Should continue to defend life and that we should continue to defend traditional marriage.”
Which means that, as has happened often in the recent past, although being absolutely correct on practically every issue of governance, from the economy, to taxes, to health care, to foreign policy, to education, the environment, to employment, to development of domestic sources of fuel, Republicans like Cruz will permit social issues that aren’t even the responsibility of government to give elections away to their stumbling, bumbling, incompetent competition.
And what’s even more disturbing is that as each day goes by the administration buries itself further, becoming more vulnerable every time one of their officials open their mouths.
The Hill reports that Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius said in testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee when addressing concerns about rising heath care costs: “The increases are far less significant than what they were prior to the Affordable Care Act.”
Health industry officials, however, “say ObamaCare-related premiums will double in some parts of the country, countering claims recently made by the administration.
The expected rate hikes will be announced in the coming months amid an intense election year, when control of the Senate is up for grabs. The sticker shock would likely bolster the GOP’s prospects in November and hamper ObamaCare insurance enrollment efforts in 2015.”
In retort to Sebelius, one senior insurance executive who requested anonymity said, “It’s pretty shortsighted because I think everybody knows that the way the exchange has rolled out … is going to lead to higher costs.”
So, here’s another glaring example of Dem electoral vulnerability, because the health care tax will hit huge numbers of voters pocketbooks. But, nonetheless, shortsighted, narrow-minded misguided fanatics like Cruz, will likely take what’s been handed to them gift-wrapped, signed sealed and delivered and hand it right back to the Dem's at the polls. And what’s almost as bad, in doing so make a dunce like Wasserman Schultz look correct.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
