Frankly, I don't think Buck and Hill could possibly ingratiate themselves to failure more than Mark Udall has:
I'd like to give credit where credit is due. Senator Udall is to be commended for a handful of initiatives that have had a dramatic, positive effect on rural Colorado.
1: He co-chaired the 2004 bi-partisan effort, Amendment 37, with Speaker Lola Spradley that delivered the first citizens-initiated renewable portfolio standard in the United States. It set Colorado on a path to having the second-highest RES in the nation and sparked the New Energy Economy successes we enjoyed between 2006-2010. This series of events has been solely responsible for the billions in clean energy investments in rural Colorado.
2: He was instrumental in ending the Piñon Canyon expansion. 'nuf said.
3: His DC office has been instrumental in supporting the reintroduction of industrial hemp to American farms.
4: He is the Senate co-sponsor for a bill that would require utilities to follow our Colorado model and generate 25% of their energy from renewable resources by 2025.
5: As someone with a pre-existing condition I'm thankful for ACA and the fact I can now get insurance at a price I can afford. Thanks to the Heritage Foundation and Governor Romney for blazing the trail. (and the Roberts Supreme Court for upholding the law).
Don't think Romney cares to be thanked about that. Still, nice gesture.
That's because Dem legislation is always better than GOTP legislation but he's been kind of a pain in the ass to Obama on NSA stuff. Keep those hopes up, though.
PS: Even crappy D legislation isn't anywhere close to as crappy as the best R legislation.
Good Point. If you like being lied to, Mark Udall is your guy:
“If You Have An Insurance Policy You Like, Doctor Or Medical Facility That Provides Medical Services To You, You’ll Be Able To Keep That Doctor Or That Insurance Policy.”
(Christina Salvo, “Sen. Mark Udall Talks On Health Care Reform,” KXRM, 9/2/09)
He doesn't hold a candle to my Congressman "my insurance premium was cancelled and my premium has nearly tripled" Gardner. When you're done reading there…peruse this.
I get it. Your liar lies more than my liar.
Your liars lie pretty much all the time. So glad you're ready to admit that. Since we all know that politicians and saints are two very different things, I'm happy to see you admit that the ones on your side really are worse. Bravo.
BC very rarely do politicians lies hurt hundreds of thousands of voters in such a personal way. Udall is a much more talented liar than most.
It's like a stupid turing machine. Feed it a question, and it makes up an incoherent answer. Maybe you can say it is grammatical, but the content is pretty much unhinged from the world as it exists.
You mean by costing a TRILLION DOLLARS and DESTROYING 2.5 MILLION JOBS leading to 300,000,000,000 cancellations?
You mean like "we know Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?"
You can get technical about exactly what "canceled" means but there's no way you can argue that hundreds of thousands of people are getting hurt by Udall. The vast majority are being offered policies that comply for affordable prices and many are "losing" phony insurance that they "like" only because they have no idea that it doesn't offer meaningful coverage at all. You don't find that out until you've been paying your bargain price for a year, have a serious medical issue and get nothing but a couple hundred bucks off the tens of thousands it costs you.
But really, AC, your point in harping on this same meme over and over is in hopes that it will defeat Udall and elect one of your clowns. It won't. You may as well be banging your head against a wall. So please…. (use Jon Stewart voice here) go on.
Haven't we been over this before?
Get that source for the 335,000 to me and do it without fucking around any more.
One catch.
I don't care that gardner said it. Get me his source.
That's not a request. If you fail to get the EXACT source gardner "got it from", you'll be pretty much the new laughing stock here.
Oh wait, you are now.
If you can quote me a source, I'll apologize to you immediately.
Get it done.
Rocco,
The 335,000 is low. It is an old number. The number keeps growning and growing. You may not understand it, and your echo chamber is in denial, but here is what the former Chair of your party put together:
You are operating under the mistaken belief that these people are happy that they lost the policies which they purchase on their own. You are wrong about that too.
Save the Eggs! Tax the Gays! Guns in Pre-K!
Colorado Democrats run against Colorado Republicans, and you all pick people like Rick Santorum as your BFF.
So you don't have a source.
"I've seen emails"? Dept. of Insurance?
Kinda like sarah palin's "Susan Rice was Ambassador to Africa".
You can put up all the bullshit graphs and charts you want. I require the source of gardner's 335,000 number
You hack
I realize I'm arguing with a fool, so I hope people can tell the difference. The cancelled insurance policies didn't provide the basic coverage mandated by the ACA. Rather than provide that coverage, insurance companies chose to stop offering those policies. did I use small enough words this time? I hope so, and that this is the last time we'll have to listen to that tired canard.
I think you underestimate the vapidity of our newest crop of trolls.
Not skinny. Let me help you. The law precluded them from selling the policies. Mark Udall knew what the people needed because he is so much smarter than they are so he stopped the insurance companies from selling people what they wanted. Then he lied about what he did. That is why the insurance companies stopped offering those policies.
Were the words too big again? I am so sorry.
Not too big. Just stupid.
Insurance policies get cancelled and re-issued every year; Nothing new there. Obamacare prohibits descrimination for gender or pre-existing condittions, which is having a huge and beneficial impact on the insurance market. YAAY! I am able to get insurance for the first time as an independent, small business owner!
Thank god for Obamacare.
So, Republicans want to take away my insurance? Me and over 10 million other Americans (so far)?
Knock yourself out. See you at the polls.
Ya know, I don't mind so much about the Tea Party's penchant for self-destruction; it's always a self-correcting condition (Darwin Award territory).
I just really get annoyed that they want to take rest of the world down with them.
