Home Featured Headlines Blog Search for: Democrats Attack Female Doctor for Daring to Question ObamaCare Posted by Jammie on Dec 13, 2013 at 8:21 am We’re rapidly approaching the point where even questioning Obama will be deemed a criminal act. A feisty Upper East Side ophthalmologist didn’t take any guff from lawmakers Thursday when she gave congressional testimony about the ill effects of ObamaCare. Dr. Patricia McLaughlin, whose ObamaCare woes were first highlighted in The Post, gave a House committee a simple prescription for the defective health care law: “Fix it!” But Democratic lawmakers pounced on her for relating how she got hit with an ObamaCare “double whammy.” McLaughlin told the House Oversight Committee, which invited her to testify after reading The Post article, how she had lost the group health plan for her four-person office. Then, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield dropped her from its provider network, forcing her patients using that insurance to go elsewhere or pay out of pocket, she said. Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) questioned whether McLaughlin was dumped from the network because her “credentials” weren’t as good as other doctors’. Can you imagine the caterwauling from the left if a Republicans even hinted that a woman wasn’t as competent a physician as men? Jesus, we’d never hear the end of it. After the hearing, she said the Democrats were “a little harder on me than the others [testifying].” She balked at Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) calling the hearing a “pony show.” “That really hurt me to the core,” she said. “Because I certainly was not here to put on any show .?.?. This was a nonpartisan participation on my part.” There’s no longer any sense of decency and honor with Democrats. It’s all about serving their master in the White House. By the way, McLaughlin’s patients apparently don’t question her abilities. Here’s some video, via the Free Beacon:

Why voting irregularities could swing the Virginia AG recount to Republicans Read more: dailycaller.com There were three major irregularities that could swing the outcome — two of which occurred in Fairfax County. First, Fairfax kept polls open for three extra days for provisional ballots. It is the policy of the Board of Elections that Virginia voters who aren’t on the rolls may cast a provisional ballot. But they must then prove their eligibility between Election Day and the following Friday at 5 p.m. (Fairfax kept the process open through Tuesday of the following week.) Obenshain came into Fairfax up by about 60,000 votes, and Fairfax “just happened to be the one county where Mark Obenshain lost by 60,000 votes,” said the source. The second problem is that every ballot is supposed to be filed with the clerk of the court by the day after the election. And all were, except in Fairfax county. “And again, it is Fairfax that keeps finding ballots,” says a source who is an expert on Virginia election law. “No one knows the chain of custody now.” The third problem: Each year the state board of elections provides each locality with a list of voters to purge from their lists (this is to remove the names of people who moved, died, became felons, etc., in the last year or so.) Most counties largely complied with that directive, but some Democratic bastions — like the cities of Hampton and Charlottesville — allowed these names to remain on the books. More than 1,800 names that should have been purged in these two cities alone, weren’t. That constitutes more than 10 times the current margin of difference between the candidates.

It wasn't just the administration that repeated the intelligence it received. "It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
