WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a million people signed up for health insurance under President Barack Obama’s law even after the official enrollment season ended, helping push the share of uninsured Americans below 10 percent and underscoring how hard it could be for Republicans to dismantle the program.

What Do Republican Candidates Stand For?

0
0
The August 6th debate among ten Republican presidential contenders was a ratings winner for Fox News. Out here on the left coast, we learned two things: Donald Trump isn't going away and the Republicans lack a plan for America.

An NBC News post-debate poll found that Trump continues to lead all of his opponents with 23 percent of the vote.

The surprise second-place challenger was Texas Senator Ted Cruz. At the end of the
Republican debate Cruz was asked what he would do if elected President:The first thing I intend to do is to rescind every illegal and unconstitutional executive action taken by Barack Obama. The next thing I intend to do is instruct the Department of Justice to open an investigation into these videos and to prosecute Planned Parenthood for any criminal violations. The next thing I intend to do is instruct the Department of Justice and the IRS to [stop] persecuting religious liberty, and then [I] intend to cancel the Iran deal, and finally move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.Cruz provided a concise summary of the debate: Republicans don't like Barack Obama and will seek to reverse all of his actions, including Obamacare. They do not support women's health; their desire to defund Planed Parenthood is one indication of this. They oppose efforts to recognize same-sex marriage - they categorize this as a religious liberty issue. And Republicans oppose the Iran nuclear agreement and pledge unquestioning support for Israel.

Other than Republicans, Americans are interested in what a candidate is for, what their positive initiatives are. National polls indicate that voters are most concerned about "the economy and jobs." Surprisingly, the Republican candidates had little to say about this. The most complete statement was by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush:There's 6 million people living in poverty today, more than when Barack Obama got elected. 6.5 million people are working part-time, most of whom want to work full-time. We've created rules and taxes on top of every aspiration of people, and the net result is we're not growing fast, income is not growing. A four percent growth strategy means you fix a convoluted tax code. You get in and you change every aspect of regulations that are job killers. You get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something that doesn't suppress wages and kill jobs.Jeb reprised "trickledown economics:" get rid of taxes and regulations and Obamacare and that will fix all ills; "a rising tide lifts all boats." The GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump, said:Our country is in serious trouble. We don't win anymore.
We don't beat China in trade. We don't beat Japan, with their millions and millions of cars coming into this country, in trade. We can't beat Mexico, at the border or in trade. We can't do anything right. Our military has to be strengthened. Our vets have to be taken care of. We have to end Obamacare, and we have to make our country great again, and I will do that.

The Republican candidates don't have a plan to deal with income inequality other than the failed policies of Reaganomics.

After jobs and the economy, most voters are interested in healthcare. Once again, Republicans have no plan other than to repeal Obamacare. In the debate, Donald Trump called it "a complete disaster." After mentioning that a single-payer system has worked well in Canada and Scotland, Trump proposed, "a private [health insurance] system without the artificial lines around every state." His was the most specific proposal offered.

National polls indicate that after jobs and healthcare, most voters are interested in terrorism and foreign policy. All the candidates described the Obama foreign policy as a disaster. The most comprehensive statement was by Senator Cruz:We have abandoned and alienated our friends and allies, and our enemies are stronger. Radical Islam is on the rise, Iran's on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon, China is waging cyber warfare against America, Russia... Russia used cyber warfare against the joint chiefs.

Each of the candidates were against the Iran nuclear agreement and some, such as Jeb Bush, proposed sending troops back into Iraq.

After jobs, healthcare, and foreign policy, voters are most interested in immigration. During the debate, there was no discussion of a pathway to citizenship; instead the candidates vied to take the toughest stance possible. Trump said, "We need to build a wall... to keep illegals out." Governor Walker opined, "I believe we need to secure the border." Senator Cruz argued, "[President Obama and other Washington leaders] don't want to enforce the immigration laws."

The Republican candidates emulate Donald Trump who promises to do great things but evades specifics. When asked about Obamacare, Trump told one reporter he would repeal the law and replace it with "something terrific." In fact, most of the Republican presidential candidates plan "something terrific."

This calculated vagueness may work with Republicans but it won't work with voters, in general. America deserves a leader with a specific plan.

HUFFPOST HILL - Iowa Butter Cow Really Upstaging New Hampshire Lard Pig

0
0
Presidential candidates are flocking to the Iowa State Fair, where they will mock democracy by swearing allegiance to a butter sculpture and pledging to make "Cotton-Eyed Joe" the national anthem. Bill and Hillary Clinton's two-week Hamptons rental costs $100,000, but it's not clear if the house comes with it all. And happy birthday to America's largest welfare program, Social Security, and may it continue to throttle the entrepreneurial spirit of our senior citizens. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Friday, August 14th, 2015

*JEB BUSH NOT ACTUALLY SURE WHO HE MET WITH* - Black Lives Matter activists, black people, same thing. Dana Liebelson: "[T]he Bush campaign said the candidate had privately met with advocates for the [Black Lives Matter] movement before the event, an assertion that appeared in multiple articles about the disruption. But that description is misleading, The Huffington Post has learned. *There was a meeting, but no activists from the Black Lives Matter movement participated. Instead, Bush met with a local elected official, a GOP lobbyist and a staffer from an anti-poverty organization*. Kevin Hooks, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Urban League, told HuffPost he set up the meeting at the Bush campaign's behest. ... Hooks told HuffPost that the campaign was earnest in its outreach attempts and willing to talk to anyone, but '*people didn't really want to talk to them.*'" [HuffPost]

*JEB BUSH KNOWS A CIGAR GUY, IF YOU NEED ONE* - Jesse Ventura violated one of the central rules of the Governor Gift Gang: no blabbing. Marc Caputo: "'Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura said Thursday he was 'astounded' that Jeb Bush's campaign would deny a decades-old gift of Cuban cigars. ... Bush’s presidential campaign denied the claim, saying the cigars weren’t from Cuba. ... [Ventura] vividly recalls telling the president [Bill Clinton] that he opposed the Cuban embargo, which Clinton had signed into federal law in 1996. 'I hate to feel like a criminal every time I go to smoke a Cuban cigar,' Ventura said he told the president. 'Jeb approached me and told me to keep it down.' '*Don’t bring that up, I don’t want that up. I’ll send you all the Cuban cigars you need*,' Bush said privately to his Minnesota counterpart, according to Ventura. Ventura said he later walked over to Bush and put an empty aluminum Romeo y Julieta cigar tube in the Florida governor’s top pocket and said 'there’s my brand.' Ventura said that, 10 days later, 'I got a box of Romeo Julieta Cubans delivered to the Capitol in Minnesota.'" [Politico Florida]

Paul Ryan press guy Doug Andres does falconry, apparently.

*HILLARY TO ESCHEW VACATION HOTSPOTS IN IOWA, GO TO HAMPTONS* - It will be a huge relief to feign interest in fancy ballet flats for a while instead of corndogs. Emily Smith: "Following Hillary Clinton’s recently announced plan to help the middle class, she and Bill are again renting a house in the Hamptons for the last two weeks in August for a rumored $100,000. The Clintons are renting a four-bedroom home from Republican art collector Andre Nasser and his real estate guru wife, Lois, at 44 Broadview Road -- a hidden cul-de-sac in Amagansett that boasts wealthy neighbors, including Harvey Weinstein…. But this year, the Democratic presidential candidate is making the most of her time in the playground of the rich by organizing a string of campaign fundraisers, titled 'Hillary in the Hamptons,' to rub shoulders with wealthy donors. ... Also on Aug. 30, fashion designer Tory Burch will host a luncheon for Hillary in Southampton." [NY Post]

@stabenow: Hey @clairecmc, when @HillaryClinton wins you can shotgun a beer and I'll chug this fine Michigan brew!

@clairecmc: You're on Deb! #PlentyLadylike

*THIS IS SO TRUE, JEB BUSH* - Well done at the Iowa State Fair. @EvanMcSan: Jeb: "I've avoided the one thing you have to avoid."

Reporter: "corn dog?"

Jeb: "*How you eat it*."Truly, Jeb stood on the shoulders of giants.*HUFFPOST HILL FACTS OF LIFE* - Here's what really happens in Iowa: political fortunes are divined by an all-knowing butter obelisk that apportions the most bales of hay to whichever candidate is dumbest.

*FERNER FROWNER* - Matt Ferner: "This summer, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) signed a bill that significantly decreases criminal penalties for marijuana possession in the state. But for some prisoners already serving time on marijuana charges, the state's old draconian drug laws continue to apply. Take the case of Bernard Noble. *A 49-year-old father of seven, Noble is serving more than 13 years behind bars in Jackson Parish Correctional Center in Jonesboro. His crime: being caught with the equivalent of two joints' worth of marijuana in 2010*. He has no chance of parole. The state Board of Pardons and Parole rejected Noble's petition for clemency in May simply because he hasn’t served 10 or more years in prison yet -- state law requires inmates to have been in custody of the Department of Corrections for a minimum of 10 years before they’ll consider an inmate’s application for clemency."

*HILLARY CLINTON WANTS KIDS, PEOPLE WITH KIDS, TO STAY IN SCHOOL* - Shahien Nasiripour: "Hillary Clinton wants to help student parents complete their degrees by raising federal funding 17-fold for a roughly 15-year-old program with spotty results. The Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of state wants to expand the Child Care Access Means Parents in School program, which gives colleges federal money to help them with their students' child care needs. ... *Roughly 25 percent of college students are also parents, according to Young Invincibles, a Washington advocacy organization, and 25 percent of student parents live in poverty*. Student parents leave school with debt loads roughly 25 percent higher than non-parents, according to Clinton's campaign. Student parents also have less time to study, and many attend schools that don't offer child care services, the campaign said. To help them, Clinton is promising to increase funding for the federal child care program to $250 million, which her campaign says will create another 250,000 spots for college students' children." [HuffPost]

*TRUMP HEARS HILLARY CLINTON'S EMAIL THING IS A BIG DEAL* - Mark Hensch: "GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump predicts he will face Vice President Biden instead of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election. *Trump said on Friday he believes Biden will edge out Clinton once her campaign is undone by the controversy over her use of a private email server while secretary of State*, according to Breitbart. 'I think so,' Trump said when asked if he can picture a fight with Biden in next year’s general election. 'It just looks like Hillary is going to not be able to run,' he said…. *'I hear this thing is big league,'* Trump added of the email controversy." [The Hill]

Hillary Clinton picked up an endorsement from the machinists union, Dave Jamieson reports.

*TESTER AND MANCHIN DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ADS* - Andrew Taylor: "Opponents of President Barack Obama's nuclear pact with Iran tried turning up the heat this week on undecided Senate Democrat Jon Tester with a TV ad saying politician like him would have 'blood on their hands' if they supported the deal. But the burly Montanan came out in favor, the latest of a string of Democrats to shrug off ad campaigns from opposition groups. ... So do lawmakers feel like the ads are tightening the screws? It is August, after all, when fewer eyeballs watch TV and many people are on vacation. 'No pressure at all,' said Manchin spokesman Jonathan Kott, adding that his boss is leaning toward supporting the agreement. 'I know he is aware of the ads and campaigns, but he hasn't heard about them from constituents.'" [AP]

*SCOTT WALKER HAS AN AMAZING HEALTHCARE PLAN* - It sounds like something we've heard of before, but we just can't quite place it. "The president’s policies must be replaced with a plan that will send power back to the people and the states, fix the decades-old problems of rising medical-care and health-insurance costs, and support economic growth instead of punishing workers and small businesses," Walker writes in the National Review. "*We must do all of this while ensuring affordable coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, and removing the fear that something as simple as changing jobs could result in loss of coverage*." [NRO]

Here's every 2016 Republican candidate matched with a Taylor Swift song, from IJReview.

*STATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD CHAPTERS DOIN' FINE* - Samantha Lachman: "The Planned Parenthood Federation of America stressed Friday that *multiple investigations into its state affiliates have fallen flat*, as the reproductive health organization battles allegations that it has illegally profited from fetal tissue donations for research. The investigations were launched after the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group, began releasing hidden-camera videos in July that supposedly depicted Planned Parenthood physicians and staff members discussing the sale of fetal parts…. '*In every state where these investigations have concluded, officials have cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing*,' said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in a statement Friday." [HuffPost]

*BECAUSE YOU'VE READ THIS FAR* - Check out McSweeney's on Trump through history.

*WHITE MEN CAN'T TRUMP* - Republican campaigns have inured their white male supporters to the same old strategy: bounce passes, free throws, maybe an occasional three. *But Donald Trump has the GOP fanbase out of their seats by relentlessly dunking on his opponents*. His windmill jams are tasteless; instead of apologizing, he hangs from the rim, screaming. [w/ HuffPost's Zach Carter & Julia Craven]

Most Health Insurance Co-ops Are Losing Money, Federal Audit Finds

Friday Talking Points -- The Rehabilitation Of Golf In The GOP

0
0
We're going to begin today with a wrapup of the week that was in the presidential campaigns, and as befitting his status as the Republican frontrunner, we're going to start with Donald Trump (if you're sick of hearing about Trump, just skip down eight or ten paragraphs and continue reading).

Trump is helicoptering in to the Iowa State Fair today, so perhaps he'll have said something even more outrageous by the time you read this. Hey, it's a pretty safe bet, at this point. Trump once again proved this week that he can say just about anything -- even stuff the Republican base violently disagrees with him on -- and walk away unscathed. This time around, Trump actually said (at least at first) some fairly nice things about Planned Parenthood. Right now, in Republicanland, this is heresy of the first order (more on this in a moment). But, so far, it doesn't seem to have hurt Trump.

In the "Trump fighting with other Republican candidate" news, we have an amusing quote from Lindsey Graham: "Donald Trump is an out-of-control car driving through a crowd of Republicans, and somebody needs to get him out of the car. I just don't see a pathway forward for us in 2016 to win the White House if we don't decisively deal with this." Hoo boy. That's bad enough, but a bigger fracas happened between Trump and Rand Paul. It started with an ad the Paul team created, which hammered Trump for essentially being a Democrat up until he decided to run.

Trump has learned a thing or two about running for the Republican nomination, and he responded by anointing himself Ronald Reagan. He went on to insult Rand Paul's golf game, and predicted Trump would "even more easily beat him now, in the world in the politics [sic]." Trump ends with an amusing gibe:



I feel sorry for the great people of Kentucky who are being used as a back up to Senator Paul's hopeless attempt to become President of the United States -- weak on the military, Israel, the Vets and many other issues. Senator Paul has no chance of wining [sic] the nomination and the people of Kentucky should not allow him the privilege of remaining their Senator. Rand should save his lobbyist's and special interest money and just go quietly home.

Rand's campaign is a total mess, and as a matter of fact, I didn't know he had anybody left in his campaign to make commercials who are not currently under indictment!



Paul's team ignored the burn on "currently under indictment" (Trump was, for once, being snarkily factual here) and shot back by trying to out-Reagan Trump. Then they whined that the golf game in question was "on [Trump's] home course that he plays often." Paul's spokesman also tries to burn Trump back, falling back on the "you couldn't think your way out of a paper bag" argument:



Donald Trump couldn't set the intellectual conservative agenda of anything, not even the tiniest rooms, never mind a country. He is devoid of ideas other than he likes the idea of power and getting attention for foolish statements and bluster.



Can't wait to see round two of this dustup, personally!

Jeb! made some news this week, both by signaling that torture may be coming back to America if he becomes president (a position other Republicans are also staking out), and also by insisting that "taking out Saddam Hussein turned out to be a pretty good deal." A pretty good deal? Really? Wow. Bush is still having a lot of trouble distancing himself from his own brother, apparently. The one issue Jeb! should have been prepared to address -- Dubya's legacy -- is still causing Jeb! problems. Maybe he'll have figured it out by the time he gets questioned about it in a debate.

There was some bad news for Chris Christie this week, as a poll showed a majority of New Jersey's voters are annoyed that Christie is spending all his time running for president and not governing the state. Christie has spent 26 of the past 43 days on the campaign trail (and not in New Jersey), leading one media outlet to create "The Christie Tracker" so his voters can see where their governor is spending his time. Fifty-four percent of the people in New Jersey now want Christie to resign.

Rick Perry also had to admit this week that his campaign is so low on funds that he can't meet the payroll. And we all know nothing lifts donor confidence like running out of money and halting paychecks for staffers!

Ben Carson, who has come out strongly against Planned Parenthood, apparently did some medical research using aborted fetuses a while back. It'll be interesting to see if any of the other Republicans bring this up during a debate, now that Carson's numbers are improving (especially in Iowa). But the biggest prize for hypocrisy among the Republicans this week was Ted Cruz, who created an ad to show how outraged he was at the whole fetal research thing. An announcer intones: "For a century, Americans have helped heal and care for millions in need," while black-and-white historical images appear of people with polio. The polio vaccine -- which won the researchers the 1954 Nobel Prize in medicine -- was developed using fetal tissues. So, according to Cruz, we should all happily go back to the days when polio was a scourge? Is that what he's saying? I'm confused.

And, just to send a chill down Republicans' backs who aren't already mentally frostbitten at the thought of an independent Trump run, Jesse Ventura just hinted that he might mount his own independent bid for the presidency -- unless Trump's the GOP candidate and names Jesse Ventura as his running mate. And you thought the race couldn't get any more entertaining! "Trump/Ventura" -- there's something to whisper to conservatives to make them shriek.

Things are a bit unsettled over on the Democratic side of things as well. Hillary Clinton's emails are going to provide a steady drip, drip, drip for months to come. We already knew this, but each time it hits the headlines must be taking a toll on her campaign. To be fair, Clinton has been criticized for months for "not releasing specifics" on her agenda, but even when she did so (she rolled out a plan to make higher education more affordable this week), the media couldn't be bothered with it and just went ahead and ran all the email stories instead. Again, with the staggered release of the emails, the investigation, and the upcoming congressional hearing for Hillary, prepare yourself for a lot more drip, drip, drip.

Some in the media are having a lot fun with "what other Democrat could run" stories. Joe Biden is thinking things over while on vacation. Not content with the slow-moving nature of that story, this week Al Gore's name was even briefly floated as a possible savior of the nomination, should Hillary crumble.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is pulling in larger and larger crowds. They're spilling out the doors, in fact. Sanders did a run down the West Coast and pulled in over 15,000 in Seattle, then followed it up by pulling in over 25,000 people in both Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles. The Washington Post pointed out that Bernie's crowds are massively bigger than anyone else running for president, to the tune of over 100,000 total in recent weeks.

And yet still it seems like Bernie only gets talked about in the media when the Black Lives Matter folks interrupt him. Black Lives Matter, it should be said, has started branching out of late. This is to their credit, because the first three candidates they interrupted were Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, and then Bernie Sanders again. This week, however, Black Lives Matter people were turned away at a Hillary town hall (and later got to meet with her), and did manage to disrupt a Jeb! Bush public event. Bush tried to say he had met with the Black Lives Matter protestors, but later this turned out not to be true. This even-handedness by Black Lives Matter towards the candidates is to be applauded, because many were asking why they haven't set their sights on anyone but Sanders.

There was quite a bit of marijuana news last week, including the tantalizing possibility that William Shakespeare might have enjoyed a toke or two while writing (the evidence is admittedly thin, but even so, "Shakespeare the stoner" is a fun concept to contemplate). In more serious news, the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy released a paper which comprehensively analyzes 13 common beliefs about marijuana (such as the "gateway drug" label), and whether any science actually backs them up or not. The full report [PDF] is available, as well as a summary of the findings.

Ohio may make the leap from having no legal medical or recreational marijuana to having both, as a legalization ballot measure has now qualified for this year's election. This effort has split marijuana reform advocates, because it was financed by the owners of ten farms, which would become the only legal places to grow marijuana in the state if it passes. A market of over 11 million people will be supplied by ten farms. There's a word for that, and it's called "oligopoly." I discussed the political pros and cons of the Ohio effort yesterday in greater detail, for those interested.

And finally, we have the story of a woman in Texas who was essentially raped by police officers at the side of the road, because one of them "smelled marijuana." This is one of the most brutal examples of the damage the War On Weed is doing to society, and should be mandatory reading for anyone still on the fence.

A cop in Texas pulled Charnesia Corley (a young African-American woman) over "for allegedly running a Stop sign." He then thought he smelled marijuana. He handcuffed her, stuck her in his cruiser, and searched her car for an hour. He found nothing. So he called in a female officer to conduct a body cavity search by the side of the road. When this officer pulled down Corley's pants (while she was still handcuffed), Corley protested. Here's what happened next:



Then, according to [Corley's lawyer, Sam] Cammack, Corley stood up and protested, so the deputy threw her to the ground and restrained her while another female was called in to assist. When backup arrived, each deputy held one of Corley's legs apart to conduct the probe.



So, a woman was forcibly held down and vaginally probed -- by the side of the road -- by police officers, because one cop thought he smelled marijuana. A spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Department stated "the deputies did everything as they should." In Texas, possession of less than four ounces of marijuana is a misdemeanor, it bears pointing out.

The astounding thing is that Texas actually just passed a law to make such searches prohibited without a warrant. They had to pass this law because Corley is, sadly, not the only person this has happened to. Unfortunately for Corley, the law doesn't take effect until next month.

So for anyone who wonders why we've been such strong advocates for ending the War On Weed, this is Exhibit A. This is what it does to cops. If they hadn't been cops, they would be in jail right now awaiting trial on charges of forcible rape. Because they are cops, such charges will never be brought against them.

That is why the War On Weed needs to end. Because people's constitutional rights and basic human rights are being abused on a daily basis, until the War On Weed is over.

 

Two *Honorable Mention* awards are in order this week, the first going to Secretary of State John Kerry who just this morning watched the American flag rise over our embassy in Havana, Cuba. When historians look back on Obama's legacy, opening up Cuba is going to figure prominently. Kerry became the first American secretary of state to visit Cuba since F.D.R.'s time.

Democrats in Virginia are also to be commended, for attempting to break the gerrymandering logjam in the state. Perhaps if they worked together with the politicians across the Potomac River? The Huffington Post has the story on how Maryland and Virginia could balance out each other's efforts politically.

But this week's *Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week* is, once again, Bernie Sanders. Bernie got crowds of over 25,000 people in back-to-back cities. This is fourteen months from the election, folks. That is simply astounding.

The size and enthusiasm of Bernie's audiences is absolutely unparalleled. No other candidate (to our knowledge) has managed an audience that has even topped the 10,000 mark yet. That's in either party, too. Many candidates struggle to top one thousand people, in fact. Yet Bernie's getting over 25,000.

Bernie also hit a milestone this week as he topped Hillary Clinton by seven points in a poll from New Hampshire. Of course, Bernie's from right next door in Vermont, but he's doing pretty well in Iowa too. Iowa has a caucus system, which favors candidates with a lot of energy and enthusiasm behind them. Hillary Clinton learned this in 2008, as Obama cleaned up in the caucus states. If Bernie Sanders somehow took both Iowa and New Hampshire, it would be a serious body blow to Hillary's campaign.

I keep waiting for the mainstream media to stop either ignoring Sanders or dismissing him as "the Donald Trump of the left," and start reporting on what is making people so excited. Bernie has an agenda. His agenda is resonating with a whole lot of people -- people who don't care whether the inside-the-Beltway crowd labels it "socialism" or "hard left" or "radical" or even "not serious." Sooner or later the pundits are going to wake up to what is drawing people in to hear Bernie speak.

In the meantime, we're awarding Bernie Sanders his 11th *Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week* award. Maybe Sanders won't go all the way. Maybe he'll follow the path of Vermont's Howard Dean. But until he does, he's certainly the one driving the discussion on the Democratic side. And for that, he deserves some overdue credit.

[Congratulate Senator Bernie Sanders on his Senate contact page, to let him know you appreciate his efforts.]

 

We're not even sure she's a Democrat (although it's a pretty safe assumption to make), but we're giving this week's *Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week* this week to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Gina McCarthy.

The E.P.A. royally screwed the pooch this week. There's simply no other way to put it. The E.P.A. wanted to declare an abandoned mine in Colorado a Superfund site. The locals objected, saying it would be bad for tourism. So the E.P.A. backed down and instead sent their own people in to begin cleaning the mine up. They blew it, and released a flood of water contaminated with arsenic, lead, and cadmium into the Animas River.

The post-spill handling by the E.P.A. has generated a lot of complaints, but although this was a tragic accident with devastating environmental consequences, it was caused by the E.P.A. itself. Gina McCarthy did finally apologize for the response and for the spill, but this is of little comfort to those in the area who are going to be drinking bottled water for a long time to come -- including a major Native American reservation.

So while her apology is appreciated, it does not save E.P.A. chief Gina McCarthy from being awarded the *Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week*.

[Contact Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy via her E.P.A. contact page, to let her know what you think of her actions.]

 

*Volume 357* (8/14/15)

A varied bunch this week. Two of these get quite dark, since they deal with the subject of rape. Actually, we've got more than a few items this week that are fairly heavy, even the snarky one at the end. Oh, well, it's been that kind of week.

Use responsibly, as always.

 *   More good Obamacare news*Democrats really should be trumpeting the good news on Obamacare, mainly because there's so much of it to trumpet.

"More Obamacare data was recently released, and all the news was good, once again. According to the National Health Interview Survey, the rate of uninsured Americans is now below 10 percent for the first time ever. More and more people are taking advantage of being able to sign up for Obamacare when they go through major life changes as well. And, no surprise, Obamacare is doing a whole lot better at reducing the number of uninsured in the states where it was fully implemented. Millions of people are being denied coverage solely because Republican governors and state legislatures hate the word 'Obamacare.' I hope the voters in those states take note, the next time they vote. One party wants them to have health insurance. One party does not, for purely political reasons."

 *   Listen to the generals*This one really needs pointing out, forcefully. Turn a Republican attack line around!

"Whenever Republicans want to complain about Democrats not being sufficiently warlike, they always use one refrain: 'listen to the generals.' Well, now that three dozen retired generals and admirals have written a letter in favor of Obama's Iran deal, we would like to ask Republicans who are opposed why they are not now 'listening to the generals.' These highly respected military men make a strong argument that the Iran nuclear deal is a good deal for America, for the military, and for the world. They're worth listening to."

 *   Bush's SOFA*Don't let Jeb! get away with this historical revisionism.

"I thought it was hilarious to hear Jeb Bush blame his brother's failures on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the other day. Jeb says that Obama blew it on Iraq because he brought all the troops home. If only some troops had stayed, according to Jeb, the Islamic State never would have happened. Except for, you know, the fact that the Status Of Forces Agreement that was signed with Iraq's prime minister -- the agreement which specified not only that all American troops would withdraw but also the schedule they would follow -- was actually signed by Jeb's brother. There's a reason why no troops stayed in Iraq, and that reason is that even George W. Bush couldn't convince the Iraqi leader he had installed to keep any troops there. Period. Jeb is criticizing Obama for following Dubya's lead on the issue."

 *   This woman was raped*Back to the cops in Texas...

"Charnesia Corley is an African-American woman in Texas who was raped by the side of the road. By the police. Because one cop thought, when he pulled her over, that he smelled marijuana, she was forcibly given a full body cavity search by two deputies by the side of the road. No warrant, no privacy, just a disgusting abuse of power. Possessing less than four ounces of marijuana is only a misdemeanor in Texas, and yet the cops feel justified in such reprehensible violations of human rights to fight the scourge of the evil weed. There is no getting around the facts of this story, which should be told to anyone who argues for the continuation of the War On Weed. A young African-American woman was raped by the side of the road by cops in Texas. And my guess is they'll never be charged with any crime for doing so. According to the Sheriff's Department, 'the deputies did everything as they should.' That's just wrong, and that is why the marijuana laws need changing everywhere."

 *   Republicans want headlines like this one*This is disgraceful, but this is the world Republicans want to see here. So point it out!

"An 11-year-old girl just gave birth in Paraguay. She was 10 when she was raped by her stepfather, but the government denied her mother's request she be allowed an abortion. These are the real-world consequences of the position taken by many Republican presidential candidates. They want to outlaw abortion even in the case of rape and incest. That leads directly to 11-year-olds having to bear their stepfather's child after being raped. Republicans want to see that sort of thing here, because those are the headlines we can expect if they ever got their way on outlawing all abortion. No rape victim should ever be forced to bear her rapist's baby. No 10-year-old should carry a baby to term. Yet that is exactly what happens when abortion is outlawed."

 *   One for the road*Last week, we optimistically promised we'd only have one Trump talking point per week. Well, one week later we find this too constricting already, so we've got two this week.

"Lindsey Graham said this week that 'Donald Trump is an out-of-control car driving through a crowd of Republicans, and somebody needs to get him out of the car.' Problem is, Republicans are too late to do so. Expanding Graham's metaphor, the Republican Party spent long hours at the bar drinking heavily, while agreeing with every yahoo in the bar about everything, and then when one of them wanted to drive home the Republicans bought him one stiff drink for the road, before handing him his car keys and staggering out to the parking lot with him, to make sure he could find his car. And now they want to complain about the resulting carnage? That's pretty funny, because the wave Trump is riding has been fully enabled by the Republican Party for years now."

 *   Golf OK to talk about*I guess golf's out of the doghouse. Or something.

"Remember when Republicans were going apoplectic because Barack Obama played some golf? C'mon, it wasn't that long ago, surely you remember all the snide comments! I see now that golf has regained respectability within the Republican Party... at least when two white guys are playing. Donald Trump bragged he 'easily beat' and (just to rub it in) that he 'trounced' Rand Paul on the golf course. Paul's spokesman whined back that it was Trump's home course so he had an advantage. Not a word was spoken about the propriety of actually playing golf, so I guess there must have been another reason for the earlier complaints about Obama, eh?"
