1. Our very own Senator Ron Johnson thinks if employers can't deny coverage to cancer patients, its the end of the world as we know it. (Ed. note - I purposely left the video out, because the stupid burns)
KEYES: I know Richard Murdock had said even though businesses should give people, for instance, with cancer, health coverage, they shouldn’t be legally required by the federal government.
JOHNSON: They shouldn’t. Listen, our rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And when we start expanding beyond that realm, when you create a right for somebody, you create an obligation for somebody else, and then you’re taking away that person’s right. And that maybe doesn’t seem all that great, but it’s just true. Our nation was based on the foundation of freedom and limited government.
2. Indiana Congressman and gubernatorial candidate(what makes these guys think they are eligible for promotions?) Mike Pence believes that the SCOTUS upholding Obamacare is equal to the terrorists attacks of 9-11.
In a closed door House GOP meeting Thursday, Indiana congressman and gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence likened the Supreme Court's ruling upholding the Democratic health care law to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to several sources present.
3. Mitt Romney invested in medical-waste firm that disposed of aborted Fetuses!
Here's what happened with Stericycle. In November 1999, Bain Capital and Madison Dearborn Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm, filed with the SEC a Schedule 13D, which lists owners of publicly traded companies, noting that they had jointly purchased $75 million worth of shares in Stericycle, a fast-growing player in the medical-waste industry. (That April, Stericycle had announced plans to buy the medical-waste businesses of Browning Ferris Industries and Allied Waste Industries.) The SEC filing lists assorted Bain-related entities that were part of the deal, including Bain Capital (BCI), Bain Capital Partners VI (BCP VI), Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors (a Bermuda-based Bain affiliate), and Brookside Capital Investors (a Bain offshoot). And it notes that Romney was the "sole shareholder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BCI, BCP VI Inc., Brookside Inc. and Sankaty Ltd."
The document also states that Romney "may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to" 2,116,588 shares of common stock in Stericycle "in his capacity as sole shareholder" of the Bain entities that invested in the company. That was about 11 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock. (The whole $75 million investment won Bain, Romney, and their partners 22.64 percent of the firm's stock—the largest bloc among the firm's owners.) The original copy of the filing was signed by Romney.

Maybe Ron Johnson shouldn't be a Senator either, since that isn't on his list of "ok things to do in the USA".
ReplyDeleteSo, since Ron Johnson is all about less rights for people and smaller government, how about this? Someone robs the bank he's got all his cash from his father-in-laws business venture. The FDIC, being a government entity, then tells him that there's nothing they can do, because they are too strapped for resources. Then what? He's such a tool....oh wait, tools serve a purpose. He's just a useless POS.
ReplyDeleteJohnson really is a dumb-ass. He thinks our rights are outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Has he not heard of the Constitution and the BILL OF RIGHTS?
ReplyDeleteWhat a mope. Again, this just shows that a person with subnormal intelligence can be a CEO if his father in law is wealthy. America, what a country!
