BloggeRhythms 10/22/2013

I’m convinced I need professional help, and really quickly. Because there’s not a shred of doubt left that I’ve lost my mind.
 
For what seems like months now, I’ve been writing about the valid Republican efforts to at least delay, and at best completely void the incumbent’s health care tax. The tax not only makes no sense, but in its aim to disrupt the perfectly acceptable health care coverage of 283 million people for the sake of 30 million others, its as pure an illustration of socialism’s failed premises as one can find. Because a tenth of the population is degrading the quality of care for the other 90% for purely political reasons and nothing else.
 
However, when the Republicans steadfastly tried to make that point, asking that some simple common sense be applied, leading Dem’s said absolutely not. In fact, the head imbecile in Congress, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, went so far as to respond to a GOP counteroffer by saying Republicans had “lost their minds.”
 
And now today, after three years of preparation, $500 million taxpayer dollars spent, $300 million of which went to outside contractors to set up the website, the technology doesn’t work and will take hundreds of millions more to fix. What’s more, it doesn't seem like the target group expected to carry the financial burden will ever want to sign up. 
 
So, here we have a failure more massive than ever seen before, in the hands of abject incompetents and yet, those who can see the issue clearly, doing nothing but try to curtail it are branded as political fanatics, disruptive losers and, according to Harry Reid, have lost their minds.
 
And that’s why I’m so convinced that I need expert help and guidance. Because for the life of me, I still think the Republicans are correct in their assessment and that the tax itself should be sent to a liberal state where they permit abortion so they can kill it now, before its really too late.
 
But let’s step back and consider that its more than likely the tax will stay in place. Which got me thinking that if the government can’t even figure out how people should sign up, what will happen to those eventually really needing care in the future. 
 
And then I had this thought about a woman dashing into an emergency room, screaming that her husband passed out and was unconscious outside in their car. That’s when the clerk at the desk handed her a form, telling her the patient had to fill it out, to which she replied “He can’t, he’s in a coma.” Which led to the clerk informing her that until the boxes on the sheet requiring cause for the visit and symptoms were filled out by the patient himself, nothing could be done. That's when she finally lost her composure, demanding a superior, and was directed to a line where twenty others stood in front of her. As she approached, the last one turned around to say that he’d come in for some pills to combat a 24 hour virus, however in twenty more minutes.it would pass by itself.
 
But, it seems, I may not be the only one thinking the Republicans are right. Because, according to Rasmussen, the incumbent’s approval rating’s dropping like a rock.  He “averaged a 44.5% job approval rating during his 19th quarter in office, a decline of more than three percentage points from his 18th quarter. That is one of the largest quarter-to-quarter declines of his presidency, behind a nine-point drop in his third quarter and a six-point drop in his 11th quarter”
 
What was most interesting though was reading that “Three post-World War II presidents, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, and Bill Clinton, had significantly higher 19th quarter averages, all near 60%, than Obama.“ And that, while “a decline in approval from the 19th to the 20th quarter has been the norm for presidents; only Reagan and Clinton did not see at least slight declines in their 20th quarter, and only Reagan's rating notably improved.”
 
So, what the statistics indicate is, this nation not only does run on its economy for sure, voters appreciate leaders who do best in that regard. Two of the top three were Republicans themselves, and the third, Bill Clinton, had Allen Greenspan, a Republican, running the economy via the Fed. 
 
But, even though the leadership models are there to be followed now, as they say, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But even worse, if all the dog does is sit on its tail and barks, nothing good will ever happen at all.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
