ROCPAC, Election Day, and Obamacare
Rick Crawford, Steven Palazzo, Steve Pearce, Tim Scott, Robin Smith, Tim Casey, Sharron Angle, Marco Rubio, John Raese. What do all those folks have in common?
Well for one thing, they’re all conservative Republican candidates who will be on ballots on November 2nd for either the U.S. House of Representatives or for the United States Senate. For another, they’re among those who have committed themselves to fight for repeal or radical change of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, (PPACA), less than affectionately known as Obamacare, after they’re elected.
They’re also some of the people endorsed by RepealObamacarePac.com, ROCPAC, a federally registered PAC founded in March 2010 shortly after the narrow passage of PPACA on March 23, 2010: http://tiny.cc/o1ltk
ROCPAC supports candidates who pledge to use their vote in Congress to repeal the monstrosity of federally run healthcare in America and the many destructive aspects of the alleged healthcare reform. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1903)

The Fine Art of Political Flip-Flopping "by Kate Evans"
The Fine Art of Political Flip-Flopping "by Kate Evans"
Easily the most renouned political flipflopper in the last few decades was the Democrat nominee for president in 2004, Senator John Kerry, who will go down in history as the man who wanted it both ways on the Iraq War and ended up losing that election in part because he tried to flimflam the electorate.
His classic line is usually quoted as, “I voted for the war before I voted against it” but his flip-flopping went far beyond that equivocation.
He voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq in October, 2002, supported President G.W. Bush in May, 2003 and later that year contended he merely voted to “threaten” Saddam Hussein, then, 5 months after that declared to Chris Matthews that he was anti-war, saying emphatically that “I don’t believe the president took us to war as he should have, yes, absolutely.”
As he should have?
It’s not nice to try to fool Mother Nature and even less nice to try to fool the American people.
There’s a whole lot of fooling, flim-famming, flip-flopping in progress during the current election cycle chiefly on the part of Democrat candidates on the November ballot and mainly involving Obamacare.
Those Democrats who voted for the misleadingly-titled Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act of 2009. PPAHCA aka Obamacare, heve been scurrying about seeking cover and have been downplaying, i.e., attempting to hide that vote. Those few Dems who voted against the measure are proudly touting their opposition as if it were a badge of honor. Those, like West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin who weren’t in Congress to vote yea or nay, are busily engaged in Kerry-esque flip-flopping. . .
