House Votes to Bar I.R.S. Action on Health Law

WASHINGTON — In its last action before a five-week summer recess,
the House took another jab at President Obama’s health care law on Friday,

from enforcing or carrying out any provision of the law.[/COLOR

Under the law, the I.R.S. will play a key role. It will provide tax credits
to low- and moderate-income people to help them buy private insurance.
It can impose penalties on people who go without insurance and on larger employers
that fail to offer coverage to full-time employees.<snip>

But Representative Sander M. Levin of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, said,

“It’s a serious misstep,” said Liz Brimmer, a Republican strategist
in Wyoming and former chief of staff to former Senator Craig Thomas, a Republican.
“Allegedly poaching in a state where being a resident sportsman is,
by law, an earned privilege. Wyoming people will take this very seriously.”

According to state records, Ms. Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney,
bought the $24 game and hunting license in August of 2012 at Westbank Anglers in Teton Village.
She had moved to the state the previous May.
She is also listed on the application of having lived in Wyoming for 10 years.

Ms. Cheney and her spokeswoman declined requests for an interview.
But she told the Star Tribune in Casper, which first reported the story with The Associated Press,
“The clerk must have made a mistake. I never claimed to be a 10-year resident.”

She also said she was unaware of the one-year residency requirement.

This is a retraction of my above postings with this image

I am hereby retracting my previous posts which accused the Republicans
of mental illness in their voting 40 times to repeal Obamacare.

A friend and I were talking, and he pointed out that the Republicans were following
a perfectly logical pathway to benefit their most special interest group.

The logical basis for these 40 votes has been posted previously in a different thread, here.

Almost a third of Louisiana Republicans blame President Obama for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina even though it was 3 years until he was President.
