Jolly sinks Sink

But…I thought Americans were so enamored of obamacare that republicans running against it were bou d to lose!

Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink in the special election to fill Florida’s 13th district on Tuesday night, delivering a stinging blow to Democrats that underscores their vulnerability to ObamaCare attacks.

What this underscores is the political motivation republicans have for continuing to lie the public about ObamaCare.

David Jolly was a professional lobbyist, working in Washington for Van Scoyoc Associates. That company’s primary business is getting government appropriations for private interests. (That is, turning taxpayer money into some private interest’s money.) He left that company to found his own lobbying corporation, Three Bridges Advisors, Inc. He has removed his own name from the lobbyist register to run for Congress.

I was amused by the following, from PolitiFact, Florida. I do appreciate Jolly’s sense of humor:

Jolly has maintained that paying both Democrats and Republicans is the cost of doing business as a lobbyist. “My giving has always followed my personal relationships,” he told PolitiFact Florida. He said in the case of Democrats, the contributions were for candidates and Congress members in races that weren’t close and had defense and national security priorities that matched his own.

It’s been noted in coverage of the 13th Congressional District race as well as the mailing in question that Jolly hadn’t given any money to Young, which Jolly confirms is true. But it wasn’t for a lack of trying, he said.

“I actually gave him money, and he did not accept it,” Jolly added, repeating a favored anecdote about Young literally tearing up the check. He said he often worked to get money for Young by organizing host committees for fundraisers.

@Greg: Your comments (previous to this too) make me believe you would be very happy living in a socialist/communist society. There are other countries that could grant your wish.

@Greg: For you to accuse Republicans about lie with respect to 0-blamacare is a joke!! It was the Democrats and 0-blama who lied from the start. 0-blama told America that if you like your insurance and/or doctor you can keep it “period”!! You can’t even acknowledge that he lied!!

I guess you liberals only approve of this when it goes the other way; taxpayer money going into Obama’s coffers.

Then, there’s this:

Even wanted criminals can pay off Obama with campaign contributions to get the DOJ to look the other way.

Just think how much soap and water Alex Sink had to use to wash the Bill Clinton off in addition to having to endure an embarrassing the loss to a lesser known, less well funded opponent.

For the hey of it… I went onto my State website. On it are various sites regarding healthcare. One of them geared you towards what else? – obamacare. I went in and poked around, I quickly left the site because I quickly developed a major headache!!

My God! If you open up one “title” page, you get 15 + pages of ‘reading’ and all the ‘reading’ just drones on and on…exactly like the Ofraud himself. There is a gazillion variations of status (where ‘you’ fit in in the scheme of things). Yikes!

Funny, but, not ha ha funny – Our own politicians (save a few) have even bothered to read this when it was first implemented and who knows if they even got around to it 4 years later. Yet, YET we are ‘forced’ into the time consuming navigation of this headache… You think Pelosi has since read it?? Ugh!

I’m seeing hope on the horizon..

@Greg: In Virginia, Democrats contributed to the Libertarian in order to get the Clinton lackey, McAuliffe a chance. I think the phrase is, “the ends justifies the means”, especially when the left is plying their dirty trade.
