GOP Rep. Hardy: People With Disabilities Are Drains On Society


I had 3 children: one was summa cum laude and two were magnum cum laude and the other didn’t need an education, he works for Raytheon and is smarter than all the rest because he works hard. He builds things that are genius and some people have that ability and I’m grateful [inaudible] I don’t know where that came from. But they all work hard. They’re raising their own families. They’re doing their own thing. They will not be a drain on society, the best they can. Hopefully they never have somebody be disability that causes them to have to utilize that.

Chairs Thrown at Nevada Convention (PROOF!)

For those who are not experienced in the culture of internetland, this is the latest trend of making a mockery of the mockery of someone, or something, which has caused harm.

In this case the Democratic National Committee has, and continues to blatantly violate the voting rights of citizens of the United States of America and Mainstream Media basically just lies, omits and spins.

As a result, memes, videos and other messages are created and shared for the purposes of offending the offender who actually believes there was no harm.

Now, when a person shares this video for the purposes slandering the people whose voting rights were violated, they lose credibility and self-ridicule themselves.

The internet mockery will continue until people stop violating voting rights.

Sanders Nevada revolt puts Democrats on notice

Bernie Sanders speaks during a campaign rally on May 3.
To the state party officials across the nation who saw videos from the convention on the Internet and on cable news Monday morning, the Nevada debacle served as a jarring reminder that the party is still a long way from united after its long slog of a primary.

“I think maybe Nevada is a little bit of a wake-up call” to party leaders, warned West Virginia Democratic Vice Chairman Christopher Regan. "If every state chair is not talking about how we can make sure that doesn't happen in our state, [for] those that have yet to go, you're just not doing your job."

Cliven Bundy
LAS VEGAS — The renegade rancher at the center of a states-versus-federal rights fight made his first appearance before a U.S. judge in Las Vegas on Friday, while one of his sons did likewise in Utah.
Four others appeared before federal judges in Idaho, bringing to 19 the number of people charged with conspiracy, assault and other crimes in connection with the 2014 armed standoff over grazing cattle on U.S. land near Cliven Bundy's Nevada ranch.

Republican attack ad distorts health care facts to scare Nevadans

Republican attack ad distorts health care facts to scare Nevadans
HENDERSON, NV – In the latest of a long line of misleading attacks against Dina Titus, the National Republican Congressional Committee is seeking to scare Nevadans by distorting the facts about health care reform.
“From day one, Republicans and insurance companies have tried to mislead Nevadans with scare tactics and outright lies about the real impact of health care reform, and this attack ad is no different,” Titus spokesman Andrew Stoddard said.  “Health care reform provides billions of dollars in tax credits to small businesses and individuals to help them afford health insurance, while looking out for seniors by closing the prescription drug donut hole, extending the solvency of Medicare, and strengthening Medicare Advantage.”
As a result of health care reform, small businesses in Nevada and around the country will receive $40 billion in tax credits to help them afford the cost of providing health insurance for their employees.  Approximately 30,000 Nevada businesses will qualify for these tax credits.  Nevada families will also benefit through better access to care and lower costs.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services office of the Actuary projected that by 2019 the impact of health care reform will cut overall health spending by 9 percent for insured individuals.
Nevada seniors will greatly benefit from a number of key provisions in the health care bill. Health care reform cuts $500 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse – not benefits.  In the last year alone, improper Medicare payments that were discovered totaled more than $450 million.
As a result of reform, the solvency of the Medicare Trust fund is extended by nine years to help ensure Medicare can cover all Americans as they get older.  Health care reform puts an end to the prescription drug donut hole, beginning with $250 checks for seniors who fall into the donut hole this year.  In addition, seniors on Medicare Advantage will see improved care thanks to new consumer protections that ensure Medicare Advantage plans do not charge higher out-of-pocket expenses than traditional Medicare.  Reform will also ensure that payments to Medicare Advantage are spent on providing health care, not on overhead and profit.
