Everything is going according to plan.

Well, the story's from the weekly standard.
The "projections" are not actually from the CBO, but rather the numbers republican budget committee staff members "gleaned" from the report.
It's not that hard to research this stuff. The red flag's "the weekly standard".
This is why you have no credibility.
But don't you think It's kind of cute how he keeps trying? I'm just surprised he didn't change it to say Udallcare.
Cute, but not in an endearing way.
Two things for sure………………
1). He/she must be either a compensated troll or somebody that doesn't mind being embarrassed on a postly basis.
2). If the bad guys at the RNC are compensating him/her, what does that say about the quality of trolls available?
I'm thinking uncompensated. Or maybe just a very simple program capable only of repeating a very limited number of talking points.
I was thinking H-man sock puppet
I was watching CNN's Crossfire, yesterday and a commercial for Owen Hill came on. I presume that it cost some money to have ad on CNN and targeted specifically at Colorado. Did anyone else see it? It was paid for by a teaparty pac.
Those are usually run by Comcast or some other cable provider at a local level and aren't subject to national rates. This may not be the case particularly, but Hill would have no reason to run a national ad.
Thanks for the clarification. I did not think that it ran nationally, just that it was on CNN and not a local station. Is the first political ad of the season?
Ads are being run by a national tea party group. I guess they liked the birther comments he made.
Hey, did you hear Andrew Carnegie ? Obamacare is going to reduce compensation between 2017 to 2024 by ONE TRILLION DOLLARS !
You are correct.
While the southern hack sessions and his "staff" bastardized the findings of the CBO, and contorted and twisted them to sound like the lowest earners would be hurt by this, the truth is, the CBO was talking about the savings in premium costs, the removal of waste and abuse from the system, the overinflated costs of the so called Medicare supplementary plans, and the mandate that the lions share of any healthcare provider's income go to patient care or be refunded to its' clients.
What's that saying about how fast lies travel vs. the truth?
"A lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can get itsshoes on."–Mark Twain
Oops, "It's shoes"
Hick was ahead of the curve.

Except that the Washington Governor actually committed. Hick just put an indefinite hold on a single person which can easily be reversed by his successor, turning a single convict into a political issue.
The Washington governor's decision is also easily reversed – it's just more generic.
National Republican infighting news of the day (excluding the Colorado news):
* When asked on a radio show why he endorsed Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen. Rand Paul said "because he asked when no-one else was in the race". Ringing endorsement there, Rand. It's an open secret that Rand isn't really a McConnell supporter and wouldn't mind seeing Mitch's Tea Party challenger win – at least not if they could also win the general election. Unfortunately for Rand, the Tea Party candidate is faring even less well in general election polls than McConnell.
* The Madison Project, who jumped on an early Ted Cruz endorsement before he was a contender in the TX-Sen race, has endorsed Georgia Rep. Paul Broun for the GA-Sen race. Broun is somewhat frequently in the news for his over-the-top statements and scientifically ignorant positions (important as he's on the House Science committee). A Broun win in the primary would lead to a Lean-D race in Georgia vs. Democrat Michelle Nunn.
* In Kansas, long time Senator Pat Roberts is under attack by Tea Party groups who are looking to "Lugar" him. Roberts doesn't spend much time in the state – he apparently doesn't even own a residence there. To counter the accusation, Roberts has taken to leasing a La-Z-Boy from one of his in-state donors. No, really – that's what he's doing. It's almost as transparent as picking up a bedroom from a friend in another district in order to vote in a recall election. (Unlike the first two, Kansas is unlikely to send its Senate seat to Democratic hands for the next 6 years in the event of a Tea Party upset…)
This year's debt ceiling bill has been passed. A clean bill to increase the debt ceiling to last approximately until March 2015 has just passed the House after Republican Leadership abandoned their caucus and allowed the bill to come to the floor.
28 moderate Republicans joined all but two Democrats in passing the bill, which is almost assured passage in the Senate before being signed by the President.
Hijackers can't decide what to put in ransom note; free hostages:
And the markets go wild (up nearly 200 points)
Reminds me of the Life of Brian:
Oh, yes! I wish I could find a clip of the revolutionaries sitting around the table arguing. Probably what a gathering of Fladen's friends sounds like 🙂
