Houston, we have a problem. Obamacare websites crash.
NBC decided that they were going to be the promoters of Obamacare during it's launch by helping to show people how to sign up. Even though that isn't their job, they are the propaganda arm of the Obama White House, so it was to be expected. Well of course, MSNBC was going to be apart of this since they are the sister network of NBC. So with today being the big day, MSNBC anchor Mara Schiavocampo decided to show the few people who watch MSNBC just how gee golly simply it is to sign up on the healthcare exchanges. Well she documented that there was a few "glitches". This reminded me of when Bill Gates was premiering Windows 95 and it crashed on him in front of the live audience.

Damn!!! Seems like Obama Care has run it's course... AFTER ONLY BEING IN EFFECT FOR 10 WHOLE HOURS? Hell, how hard can it be to sign up 45 million people in 10 hours? It should have been a breeze. But NOOOOOOOOO... Computer glitches, jammed phone lines, crowded offices etc... Oh well, I guess the conservatives were right after all. We all know that, "Rome was built in a day!"

Obamacare was signed into law on March 23, 2010. It's now October 1st 2013. The roll out of Obamacare was 3 years and 6 months in the making to plan everything out. So spare me the rome wasn't built in a day spew allen. It's not like they woke up yesterday and said oh, we need to built this thing out in 24 hours, they had time. This doesn't even shock me. It's just what blotted government doesn, nothing right.
I did some checking, and I might, just might have found out the reason why the Obamacare exchange sites were not working. We've been told by the left that those in the Tea Party are backward thinking, unsophisticated, illiterates, bible thumping dumbasses. but did you know that also according to the left,
the tea party is just smart enough to have launched a (Denial Of Service) attack on the Obamacare exchanges today.
I guess that would be what, um Tea Party Cyber terrorism or something. lol
CB;"Tea Party are backward thinking, unsophisticated, illiterates, bible thumping dumbasses".
Plenty of them are. But I won't believe in a conspiracy until I see evidence of one. However, I do believe in whats known as COMPUTER CRASHES. It happens. What you're failing to even ask yourself (as you often do) is, "what is the normal cause, and, why and how does a computer system crash?"
Okay, you agree that the system set up "crashed", right? Common sense should tell you that THE SYSTEM WAS OVERLOADED! People are scrambling to sign up for OBAMA CARE! And why would people who "hate" socialized health care OVERLOAD a system attempting to sign up? BECAUSE THEY WANT IT AND/OR, THEY NEED IT!
Your only hope Tyrone is that the Affordable Health Care Law doesn't do what the president and millions of other proponents says it will do. You'll just have to pray that it doesn't work. You'll just have to put all your heart, soul and mind into doing things such as "shutting down the government", not raising the debt ceiling, and short of calling on the Devil himself to stop Obama Care from working.
I say you'll have to call on the Devil to stop Obama Care because, I really don't think Jesus would want a health care law to fail...

Wait a second, didn't you tell me not to broad brush all liberals, yet you just said "plenty of tea party folks are backward thinking, unsophisticated, illiterates, bible thumping dumb asses? That hypocrisy thing again.
p allen " It happens. What you're failing to even ask yourself (as you often do) is, "what is the normal cause, and, why and how does a computer system crash?" "
I know how networks crash, but that's not my concern or did you not get the memo. Again, you miss the point. It's not about me(deflection), it about the liberal nutcases on twitter who actually believe that the Tea Party had a roll in Obama's cluster bleep debut. Again, I just bring up and comment on the insanity.

Thank You allen for making me always look good. I really do appreciate it. Oh yeah, the news broke days ago that the software for the exchanges wasn't totally ready. I Since you are blaming this on simply so many Americans wanting their Obamacare, and it crashed the systems, then I guess you are also saying that your fellow liberals who think the tea party had something to do with this are ignorant conspiracy driven morons then right?
p allen "Your only hope Tyrone is that the Affordable Health Care Law doesn't do what the president and millions of other proponents says it will do. You'll just have to pray that it doesn't work. "
No allen, you have to pray that it doesn't work. Remember if Obamacare works, then you can forget about single pay universal.
p allen "You'll just have to put all your heart, soul and mind into doing things such as "shutting down the government", not raising the debt ceiling, and short of calling on the Devil himself to stop Obama Care from working."
Tell me how the government going deeper into debt is a good thing? I know it's not good for individuals and corporations to do that.
Obama said back in 2008 that when $4 trillion dollars of debt was added under Bush it was "un patriotic" Dang that bank of China credit card allen. So let me get this right. $4 trillion dollars of debt under Bush was bad, but $7 trillion dollars of debt and wanting to higher under Obama is good? I'm scratching my head in bewilderment. Furthermore, the government isn't shut down. The sky didn't fall allen. Non essential government functions are shut down. So it's really a non essential government function shutdown not a critical service government shutdown. Are you getting this? There might be quiz latter. As for calling on the devil, I taught you liberals said Reagan was the evil.
p allen "I say you'll have to call on the Devil to stop Obama Care because, I really don't think Jesus would want a health care law to fail.."
How sacrilegious allen, bringing Jesus Christ into this? really man? I know you are desperate, but I wouldn't make the son of god a cheap political prop to make a point, just saying. Try a different approach.
CB;"How sacrilegious allen, bringing Jesus Christ into this? really man? I know you are desperate, but I wouldn't make the son of god a cheap political prop to make a point, just saying. Try a different approach".
Ooohhhh Puh-leeeeeeze... You're only foolin' yourself with that holier than thou charade. God and Jesus are key components of the conservative political movement, and the conservative right. What you and your cohorts do is
"use" religion when it's convenient. I'll admit that I'm using it in the same manner as you.
However, the fact still remains that, according to your religion, providing health care for the poor is indeed what Jesus would do! The only reason you went all "holier than thou" on me, is because YOU CAN'T DEBATE IT!
"For the common man, religion is true. For the wise man, religion is questionable. For the rulers, religion is useful.".

Yes, I've told you on "plenty" occasions not to broad brush. It's good to see you're learning something. But there's no hypocrisy here. I didn't say "all" or even "most!" I said "PLENTY."
plenty: adv. sufficient adequate amount or supply.

Take a Q Tip and clean your ears allen. I've always said that racism knows no one political ideology or party affliation, however it's the left who seems to have it's blinders on in thinking that everybody who calls themselves a liberal, progressive, socialist etc are are racial tolerant as the wind driven snow. That is what many liberals of the minority persuasion just can't comprehend.
It's amazing how they can't get this right when some states have less than 1% enrollment numbers.
Okay agreed. We both know that there are idiots on both sides of the aisle.
But something I read today really ticked me off. republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer was grandstanding at the WWI memorial yesterday when he said to a park ranger (who by the way is not being paid) that "she should be ashamed of herself." SAY WHAT???? The park ranger was simply doing her job, which is something the congressman (who is being paid) was not doing!!! This "IDIOT" actually thought he was being "patriotic?"
If memory serves me correctly, Neugebauer is the same guy that yell out "baby killer" during a house debate over the health care bill. It's funny that Neugebauer would use a phrase that was chanted during the Vietnam War. Being that, he grandstands at the WWII memorial insulting a park ranger, and is of the age to have served in Vietnam, yet his name does not appear on the list of congressmen who have served in the armed forces.
The Republican members of the Tea Party Caucus are really alienating themselves from the mainstream republican party. Any political analyst will tell you this is not good politics. Accept it or not Tyrone, the Tea Baggers are sucking the life out of the republican party. You, very well might be thrilled by the idea, but as you can see and you have to admit, the party is in disarray.
You know whats ironic? I really don't like seeing the republicans in such turmoil. What happens is exactly what we're going through now! Basically the fringe of the republican party is running the show. These are the people that hate President Obama, and have a real disdain for the government that they work for. The fact is, as long as they're in control of the house these problems will persist.
And Rome eventually fell as well. Just like we will some day. This Leviathan we call Government will not last. A violent monopoly can not sustain itself. The immorality of man controlling man will fail. Statism is immoral.
Of course Jesus would want this health care law to fail. He was voluntary in nature. God gives us choices but Governments do not. This type of Healthcare is by no means voluntary, it's forced. Do you really think it is spiritually moral to point a gun at the wage slave tax payers to pay for other folks getting medical for free which is reality is not free. Someone is forced to pay for it, right. In some form.
Jesus would not provide Healthcare that uses a means of force on the middle class and rich. That is immoral just like Taxes are immoral. Healthcare would be a competitive Market-based Privatized, Direct Patient to Doctor approach. We would be free to choose our plans and Doctors. No Third-Party. No Socialized medicine here. Can't you see that?
No wonder why it crashed and why people couldn't call:

Eddie;"Of course Jesus would want this health care law to fail. He was voluntary in nature. God gives us choices but Governments do not".
I knew someone would attempt to "re-write" Jesus. Jesus would have been against a health care law? Yeah right... He would totally be against the U.S. "MANDATE" for vaccination and immunizations. After all, that's his job, cleansing lepers and healing the sick. Since he just can't seem to get to the billions around the world, and the millions who need health care in this country, he decided to turn it over to "the free market."
All that stuff about "driving out the money lenders from the temples and not exacting interest", what was that all about? Wait... Jesus did that so the money lenders could set up Financial Districts! Who would have thunk it. Jesus was the catalyst for Wall Street!
Eddie;"Healthcare would be a competitive Market-based Privatized, Direct Patient to Doctor approach.".
As I proffered before, how much would Jesus charge the parents of a child with a life threatening birth defect to heal that defect? Would Jesus offer to do the healing himself? Or would he offer to pay the hospital cost? Quoting you; "Jesus would not provide Healthcare that uses a means of force on the middle class and rich." Yet, the poor, (whom by the way Jesus referred to as his "flock") can't afford even basic health care coverage. Thus, who's going to cover the cost? We are talking about a "market based" (profit oriented) solution to health care right? Poor people can't pay, so in fact you're saying "Jesus really didn't care about the poor", (ie. he lied).
Eddie;"That is immoral just like Taxes are immoral".
The modern Christian Conservative is an oxymoron upon itself. You use and mold the bible to fit you wants, needs and ideology of the day. In the Synoptic Gospels, when ask should taxes be paid, doesn't Jesus reply, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's?" But I'm sure you'll even spin that to suit your modern day Christian Conservative ideology.
A mandate doesn't force you to do anything. The health care mandate, as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, is a "TAX." If you don't want to have health care, you pay a "TAX." GO have every right to disagree with the ruling. However, it's been ruled on, and the deal is done. It's over, so get over it.
"To the common people, religion is true.
To the wise, religion is questionable.
To the rulers, religion is useful.".
Your conservative rulers indeed see you as useful for their causes. The fact is, a large number of the richest American don't like paying "ANY TAXES."
p allen question to Eddie "
As I proffered before, how much would Jesus charge the parents of a child with a life threatening birth defect to heal that defect?
Would Jesus Christ support healthcare that supports killing unborn babies?
Would Jesus support a something that forces his followers to go against their moral beliefs?
p allen "We are talking about a "market based" (profit oriented) solution to health care right? "
Bullshit!! Obamacare is designed to get as many people as possible into the governemnt run exchanges so then they can spring what they really wanted from day one, Universal aka Single Pay. This is going from "Market based to a messed up Hybird to Single Pay.
p allen "
Poor people can't pay, so in fact you're saying "Jesus really didn't care about the poor", (ie. he lied)."
Would Jesus say that because you are older, take a pain pill instead, because you aren't young enough to continue to help society, so take a pain pill and die.
Obama administration advisor Steve Rattner, advocated restricting medical spending on the elderly, especially on patients in their last year of life, because such spending “consumes more than a quarter of the [Medicare] program’s budget.”
That's is the key reason why Obama needs as many young people to sign up for Obamacare and don't use it while on the backside denying elderly life saving care, because they would be a drag on the system. That doesn't sound very Jesus like.
CB;"Would Jesus Christ support healthcare that supports killing unborn babies?".
I seriously doubt it. But then again, who's talking about killing unborn babies? Moreover, who's talking about killing anybody or any living, or unborn thing? Stay on topic Tyrone. We're talking about Jesus and how Obama Care haters can twist, connive and use his name and religion to exact some leverage in the Obama Care debate. Stay focused!
CB;"Would Jesus say that because you are older, take a pain pill instead, because you aren't young enough to continue to help society, so take a pain pill and die".
Very good! You back on the track of the actual debate. And no, I doubt Jesus would want anyone to take a pain pill and die. But neither does the government health care law. So in that, you can say the government is a lot like Jesus. Let me repeat it Tyrone. There are no "Death Panels!" Sarah Palin is an idiot. If you believed what she said, you're just as stupid as she is.
CB;"Obama administration advisor Steve Rattner, advocated restricting medical spending on the elderly, especially on patients in their last year of life, because such spending “consumes more than a quarter of the [Medicare] program’s budget".
Steven Rattner was not one of the authors or contributors to the health care bill. Rattner led the Presidential Task Force on the AUTO INDUSTRY and was a counselor to the Treasury Secretary! Rattner had nothing to do with the health care bill. Unless, of course if you "want" to believe he did.
CB;"That's is the key reason why Obama needs as many young people to sign up for Obamacare and don't use it while on the backside denying elderly life saving care, because they would be a drag on the system. That doesn't sound very Jesus like".
Your saying a doctor will deny life saving care, and a doctor not providing life saving care, are two different things. There is nothing in the ACA Law that requires doctors not to provide life saving care. However, if you really want to sabotage the ACA, get the republican congress to pass tort reform that prevents doctors from being sued or held liable. Kill two birds with one stone...!
The facts are that Tyrone, the vast majority of young people are healthier. It's common knowledge and a simple empirical fact that's easy to understand. However, THEY'RE STILL HUMAN! Their bones break, they bleed, are susceptible to disease, and eventually will need some kind of medical care just like every one else. For that reason alone it makes sense for a young person to at least "want" to have health insurance.
But conservatives, who don't want socialized medicine (propagandized by the wealthy), convince their poorer constituents that there's a nefarious intent, and evil lurks when government provides them with health insurance. They tell you, "there's death panels, your grandmother won't get treatment, your doctor will kill you, you'll be rationed!!" While in fact, the rich elite fat cats are actually looking out for themselves. They don't want to be taxed. They feel as though they're Tax Enough Already, and all the while evading paying taxes, and attempting to eliminate the taxes they already pay! Hell, Mitt Romney admitted paying a tax rate of 14% (less than what I paid), while having over 30 offshore income earning funds. It's no wonder while as governor of Massachusetts he gave them health care...
Want free health care?
Move to Cuba.
I knew someone would attempt to "re-write" Jesus. Jesus would have been against a health care law? Yeah right... He would totally be against the U.S. "MANDATE" for vaccination and immunizations.
Charity is a virtue. It ceases to be virtuous when you are forced to do it. Anyone who has Jesus in his/her life at all would know this.
Thersites- "Want free health care, move to Cuba."
Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, Belgium, United Kingdom, Kuwait, Sweden, Bahrain, Brunei, Canada, Netherlands, Austria, United Arab Emirates, Finland, Slovenia, Denmark, Luxembourg, France, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, South Korea, Iceland, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, Israel
which are all failing economically Socialist countries!
Why Cuba? If you really hate free health care, do like these conservative geniuses and move to Canada!!
Anon;"Charity is a virtue. It ceases to be virtuous when you are forced to do it. Anyone who has Jesus in his/her life at all would know this".
You're not being forced to do anything Anon. There's nothing charitable about Obama Care. You still have to "pay for it." Moreover, the money you pay in taxes (according to your own religion) is not your money anyway. Thus, if you really believe something is not virtuous, look at the country you live in. Your problems began on March 4, 1789.
"Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts".
Your problem is with the Congress, The Supreme Court and Constitution of the United States. Not with Obama Care. If you want to live in a theocracy, Iran will be glad to have you.
crappy site.
You're not being forced to do anything Anon. There's nothing charitable about Obama Care. You still have to "pay for it."
Yes you are being forced. If you don't buy healthcare you HAVE to pay a penalty. How is that not being forced?
As far as taxes go, go check the Gospel and let me know how well tax collectors are looked upon therein.
Your problem is with the Congress, The Supreme Court and Constitution of the United States. Not with Obama Care
No my problem is with Obamacare according to the President himself . . .
Obama: "It's not a tax"
Thus the Supreme Court decision according to the President himself is wrong.
