Too bad this Virginia election coverage just now came out

Libertarian con in Virginia governor's race revealed
"It has been revealed that the libertarian candidate for governor in Virginia, who is siphoning votes away from Ken Cuccinelli, was funded by an Obama campaign bundler. Meredith Jessup of the Blaze reports:"...
....
"This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Split your opponent's votes with a hopeless candidate. Coming as it does on Election Day, this revelation may be too late."

Taking Issue with McAuliffe and Single-Issue Voters  "McAuliffe's accusations are outlandish to the point of insulting the intelligence of his opponents and supporters.  Claiming your opponent, whom is married with five daughters, is focused on advancing his anti-woman agenda is patently ridiculous."

Ken Cuccinelli’s rough ride may have lessons big and small for the GOP.
"McAuliffe’s campaign did feature a simple theme: “Republicans like Ken Cuccinelli are horrible people.” That may seem like an exaggeration, but McAuliffe has run a disciplined campaign that began by demonizing his opponent, moved on to demonizing his opponent, and then finished by demonizing his opponent."

White House Adviser Smears Cancer Patient Who Lost Her Health Insurance

 

 in the Wall Street Journal;  I had great cancer doctors and health insurance. My plan was cancelled. Now I worry how long I'll live.
...."Since March 2007 United Healthcare has paid $1.2 million to help keep me alive, and it has never once questioned any treatment or procedure recommended by my medical team. The company pays a fair price to the doctors and hospitals, on time, and is responsive to the emergency treatment requirements of late-stage cancer. Its caring people in the claims office have been readily available to talk to me and my providers.

"But in January, United Healthcare sent me a letter announcing that they were pulling out of the individual California market. The company suggested I look to Covered California starting in October.
"You would think it would be simple to find a health-exchange plan that allows me, living in San Diego, to continue to see my primary oncologist at Stanford University and my primary care doctors at the University of California, San Diego. Not so." ...

Breaking news:The Obama machine shifts blame onto the insurance companies.
 
Will Obama invite this woman to the next State of the Union address?
"I am praying that Ms. Sundby continues her valiant battle, that ObamaCare is cast into the dustbin of history (along with Solyndra solar panels, Fisker Cars, etc.) and the next President, a Republican, has the honor to invite her to the State of the Union Address in 2017."

Germany: Police storm homeschool class, take children by force

Adina Kutnicki; ‘Officers brought a battering ram and were about to break the door in’

Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their Darmstadt, Germany, home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling, according to a stunning new report from the Home School Legal Defense Association.

HSLDA, the world’s premiere advocate for homeschoolers, said the family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.
The shocking raid was made solely because the parents were providing their children’s education, HSLDA said. The organization noted the paperwork that authorized police officers and social workers to use force on the children contained no claims of mistreatment.
Obama Bid to Deport Homeschool Refugees May Threaten U.S. Rights   "The Romeikes, who fled outrageous persecution in Germany so that they could homeschool in peace and freedom in America, were awarded asylum in the United States by a federal immigration judge in 2010. They had fled from their native land two years earlier to escape the extreme punishments meted out to homeschoolers there. According to U.S. law, persecuted members of particular social groups — home educating families or Christians, for example — are supposed to be allowed to stay in the Land of the Free to avoid further persecution in their homelands."

On Obamacare, the president says, "Let me be clear, period."

Obama denies ‘you can keep it’ videotaped promises  "President Barack Obama told his enthusiastic supporters Monday night that he never promised what video recordings show him promising at least 29 times.
....
“ 'What we said was you could keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law was passed,” he told Obamacare’s political beneficiaries and contractors.
That claim is not supported by his videotaped statements, which don’t include any mention of his new “if it hasn’t changed” exception." 

 
Rich Lowry: The ObamaCare speech he never gave   "It’s now a matter of bipartisan consensus that President Obama should have been more honest and forthright in selling his health-care plan. Here is the transcript of the speech he never gave:"...  More from Rich Lowry here.

What will be voter's reaction to Obamacare?

Will ACA Problems Hurt Democrats as Much as the Shutdown Hurt the GOP?  "Democratic dreams of long-term Republican fallout may be fading as Obamacare rollout issues grab the spotlight."

"Officials expressed concern that the next shoe to drop in the evolving story about the Affordable Care Act would be disappointment from consumers once they are able to get on the troubled HealthCare.gov website – disappointment because of sticker shock and limited choice, according to a new document obtained by CNN."

Can Small Businesses Handle Obamacare?

By Megan McArdle at Bloomberg 
obamacare
"Subbing in for Matt Yglesias, Sean Vitka looks at a new report from the National Federation of Independent Business, the trade association for small businesses, and says that “No, Obamacare Hasn't Led Small Businesses to Cut Employees' Health Care”:" ...
....
"Good news! But here’s a surprising thing: The numbers in that report seem to be at odds with its words.
"Here’s the report's table on employers who plan to drop health insurance versus employers who plan to add it:
"If you look at the percentages, then Vitka’s point is correct. Thirteen percent of employers who do not offer insurance plan to add it, while only 7 percent of those who offer insurance plan to drop it. Unfortunately, percentage is not the correct way to look at it."
