A Miami Haitian Democrat mayor, HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius pal and Obamacare advocate involved in an $8 million dollar HUD scandal? Absolutely shocking.

..and it's everybody's fault for keep calling them liberals. Even Rush. They're socialists. They don't care about feelings (scroll down for Dean's screed). Treat them as they treat everyone else. If they play those fake hurt feelings, screw'em.
And most of America doesn't seem to care be aware.

I originally read/heard his comment to be more of a (failed) back-handed shot at pro-border-security conservatives ... comparing spending aggressively on border security to "giving everyone there a government job" (i.e., communism) and therefore buying the safety that those border towns are being rated high in.
Of course, even the strongest small government conservatives see a role for the feds to do large scale common defense, which is what border security is. So, saying that someone supports that spending and the positive results it brings isn't really even a slam.
With that said, I'm completely okay with people mishearing him and thinking he means that the Democrats have proven that communism works ... because I think the average Joe already sees that party's preference being socialist/communist approaches. And that turns this into a "can't believe he just came right out and said it" moment of confirmation.

Actually there is only one thing I agree with commies in regards to borders. Protect them with 50 caliber machine gun nests. Like the US did before WWII also.

Only a brain dead idiot would believe that communism works. Works towards what end? Gulags, brainwashing, millions of deaths in the name of communism, political correctness, a health care system left in ruins shoved down our throats, using the power of a central government to punish dissenters?

Proving once again what I'd said since the 1990's + CLINTONISM > WAR FOR PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US OWG-NWO = RUSSIA-VS-US, EURASIA-VS-NORTH-AMERICA WAR FOR MACKINDER'S "WORLD ISLAND".

Its hard to get an automobile in the soviet union. They are owned mainly by elite bureaucrats. It takes an average of 10 years to get a car. 1 out of 7 families owned automobiles. You have to go through a major process and put the money out in advance. so this man did this and the dealer said "okay in 10 years come get your car." "Morning or afternoon?" The man replied. "well what difference does it make?" Said the dealer. "The plumber is coming in the morning." Ronald Reagan
The Obama administration has quietly adjusted key provisions of its signature healthcare law to potentially make billions of additional taxpayer dollars available to the insurance industry if companies providing coverage through the Affordable Care Act lose money.
The move was buried in hundreds of pages of new regulations issued late last week. It comes as part of an intensive administration effort to hold down premium increases for next year, a top priority for the White House as the rates will be announced ahead of this fall's congressional elections.
Administration officials for months have denied charges by opponents that they plan a "bailout" for insurance companies providing coverage under the healthcare law.
They continue to argue that most insurers shouldn't need to substantially increase premiums because safeguards in the healthcare law will protect them over the next several years.
But the change in regulations essentially provides insurers with another backup: If they keep rate increases modest over the next couple of years but lose money, the administration will tap federal funds as needed to cover shortfalls.
Although little noticed so far, the plan was already beginning to fuel a new round of attacks Tuesday from the healthcare law's critics.
"If conservatives want to stop the illegal Obamacare insurance bailout before it starts they must start planning now," wrote Conn Carroll, an editor of the right-leaning news site Townhall.com.
On Capitol Hill, Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee began circulating a memo on the issue and urging colleagues to fight what they are calling "another end-run around Congress."
Obama administration officials said the new regulations would not put taxpayers at risk. "We are confident this three-year program will not create a shortfall," Health and Human Services spokeswoman Erin Shields Britt said in a statement. "However, we want to be clear that in the highly unlikely event of a shortfall, HHS will use appropriations as available to fill it."
The stakes are high for President Obama and the healthcare law.
Although more than 8 million people signed up for health coverage under the law, exceeding expectations, insurance companies in several states have been eyeing significant rate increases for next year amid concerns that their new customers are older and sicker than anticipated.
Insurers around the country have started to file proposed 2015 premiums, just as the midterm campaigns are heating up. Obamacare, as the law is often called, remains a top campaign issue, and big premium increases in states with tightly contested races could prove politically disastrous for Democrats.
If rates go up dramatically, consumers may also turn away from insurance marketplaces in some states, leading to their collapse.

There is already a suit working its way to the Supreme Court based on the origination clause. Because Roberts declared the mandate to be a tax, and the ACA came from the Senate, it violates the origination clause. All tax bills must come from the House.
On the other hand, I can't see the Court having the balls to toss the entire law. I really think that Obama has something on Roberts.

Agreed, Rambler. From what I've read, it had something to do with his adoption of this children from Ireland. :-(

Can anyone credibly deny, at this point, that if Howard Dean were in a position of power he would send devout Christians and believers in small government to concentration camps?

Oh really? Then I can vote as many times as I want and collect all the free health care and welfare according to dhimocrats if I am not an American.
"That's where we are at this point," he [Garyson]added. "They're scandalmongers without a scandal. They're trying to offer the American people bread and circuses -- without the bread." And, should Ms. Nancy appoint him to the committee, we shall have the circus.

Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention.
YES! "Other issues".... such as F&F, the IRS, Obamacare, the VA.

In open forum Alan Grayson has admitted he cares nothing about Benghazi, he wants to make a mockery of a congressional investigation. HE IS IN CONTEMPT. He should be tried for treason if he follows through with his threat.

How in the hell does a room temperature IQ thug like this get in congress? Are people in his district idiots?
I have always thought that people take the worse scoundrels in their state and elect them to Congress as a way of getting them out of their state. Kind of the way a troublesome/non-productive worker gets promoted in the government because it is the only way to get them out of your department.

She named Reps. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, Adam Smith of Washington, Adam Schiff of California, Linda Sanchez of California, and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois.
Trusted agents, we knew they'd come along for the ride. Cummings can teach them how to backchannel info directly to suspects and provide read-aheads to Polosi and her onerous partner in crime Harry 'the Rat' Reid. Duckworth will of course, report directly to the Champ and Holder.
