Does Health Care Make You Sick? Sign Steve King’s Online Petition

by Riley Waggaman  1:02 pm June 24, 2010

  • Steve King is going to repeal Obamacare with his magical “discharge petition,” which is a fancy Robert’s Rules term for “boners.” [RedState]
  • Rashad Hussain, America’s special envoy to the Organization for the Islamic Conference, called Barack Obama, “America’s Educator-in-Chief on Islam.” Not helpful dude, NOT HELPFUL. [Weekly Standard]
  • A surprising number of car dealerships launder drug money on the side. That’s the price of 0% financing, folks. [Matt Yglesias]
  • Meanwhile, a goofball narc thinks we should use The Surge to fight The War Against Drugs. But will General Petraeus agree to send more troops to America? [Hit & Run]
  • Two-faced Rupert Murdoch says the media should help Mexicans steal all of the good migrant worker jobs. Whoa, plot twist! [Think Progress]

hmmm … Rashad Hussain, your ideas intrigue me, do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to? Maybe you could send me some literature to my home. Don’t worry if the packaging is a little difficult,I have some Box Cutters.

I think more Republicans would support increased medical coverage under the Obama plan if they were told that the acronym for the board that licenses pediatricians is FAAP.

Rupie’s doing what the US Americuh oligarchy’s always being doing on immigracion. They want to have their immigrants and low costs (wages) too. See, this whole “if it’s brown, send’em down!” movement is on the verge of noticing that US Americuh big bidniz benefits huge by not hiring Bubba, Jimmy Jack and Keisha for big bucks to work at their plants. With all this talk about penalizing the bidnizes that hire illegals (knowingly with a wink to whatever the fuck the INS calls itself) they’ve decided that screaming about illegals might work against their interests.

America’s currnent “Educator-in-Chief on Islam” has taught me … um … well. OK, I skipped school that day. But Dick Cheney, the previous “Educator-in-Chief on Islam”, taught me they like killing Americans, hate America and can destroy America with their minds. Also are evil.

Rep. Steve King on those who he says took his race comments out of context: “We really should just ridicule them for trying to run with emotions and no logic. I think Socrates and Plato would have laughed themselves silly if [they saw] these people were leading thought in America.”

So how many house signatures to force a Senate vote? How many to force a Presidential signature? Go House GOP Go!!!

[re=605776]loquaciousmusic[/re]: Now, is that the actual board, or the one that Rand Paul is on?

Steve makes me want to discharge, actually more of an evacuation. I wish I could sign his petition with that discharge.

Erick’s son Erick is really desperate to overturn the Dem’s big victory, and scraping at any little he could have before the liberal program becomes entrenched and impossible to repeal, like Social Security or Medicare. Give it up, wignut; you lost, get over it.

You know what would eliminate the problems of laundering drug money, and the resources used up in the War on Drugs? Legalization. But no, it’s political suicide to suggest.

[re=605796]chascates[/re]: I think Socrates and Plato would have gone into shock on seeing moving pictures and sound box and horseless carts in America. Oh, and Plato didn’t really like democracy so of course he wouldn’t like how this place is run.

From the same link, it’s good to see King jumping on the “Barton was right” platform; I think a strong defense of BP should be the centerpiece of the Republicans’ midterm campaigns.

“What color is the discharge?”, as my doctor would ask.

King will file his petition with oil company investor and part-time federal judge Martin Feldman, who is expected to enjoin ObamaCare because it will cost jobs, impede our energy independence from muzzzie Canadastan and allow Mexicans to freely cross the our borders to date our white women or somethin’ somethin’.

I thought “discharge petition” was pleading with the wife to touch your boner.

GOPCrusher June 24, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Considering the track record of repealing Social Security since it was signed into law, health care reform is safe.

GOPCrusher June 24, 2010 at 2:42 pm

The best way to stop the bloviating about illegal immigration? President Obama needs to have an address to the nation and announce that he is calling for a massive increase in fines to corporations that hire undocumented or illegal immigrants. Increase the amount of employees working for the Department of Immigration labor enforcement areas.
Listen for the Republiklan/Tea Bagger heads exploding.

Not much to add to Young Riley’s excellent news roundup (and who gives a shit, anyway, since no one is reading this far down in the threads because of wonkeratti attention deficit disorder–a clinical condition) but just to point out that the whole USA, except for the soccer team, is SHIT BECAUSE OF REPUBLICS. Winning elections for 40 years by promising government is free and we don’t need regulations has turned this country into Club For Growth’s dreamscape. No government to speak of, and what there is doesn’t function, anyway.

If a stealth missile were to take out every fucking Republic and Teabagger in the country–fuck that, the world–this would be a better place to live.

No we can’t, no we can’t, no we can’t, can’t, can’t is the only policy idea these assholes have. I hate them.

After a Republic troll showed on an a OK Democratic Bulletin Board post the 2004 election, I vented all such venom against him for days.

Where are the wonkette trolls? I need to work off some aggression. A tee-ball team is coming over this afternoon to have a pool party at our place and I need to do something with this anger, lest I start clubbing their parents senseless. Here in the dust bowl, you can pretty much assume party affiliation.

Thanks, Young Riley. I feel better now.

[re=605910]DustBowlBlues[/re]: “Republics?” So… we should revert to monarchy again?

What are you, Canadian?

dr.giraud June 24, 2010 at 2:53 pm

Ha ha, “discharge petition,” that was the plot twist in Legally Blonde 2. Oh wait, I just admitted I’ve seen Legally Blonde 2.

BloodandIrony June 24, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Hey Steve King, you know that they already held a vote on repealing HCR, right? And you lost, much worse than the vote on final passage of reform.

DustBowlBlues June 24, 2010 at 3:14 pm

[re=605922]Guppy06[/re]: As long they insist of calling us the Democrat party, I refuse to give them their AN. The abysmal daily newspaper, The Oklahoman, has been dropping the IC for decades.

whiterabid June 24, 2010 at 3:20 pm

Steve King, representative from Iowa? Sounds like a child of the corn.
