  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    AFP Targets Peters For Obamacare Role

    Holy cow.

    Maybe I, or better yet, my cat, should run for Michigan's US Senate race. After the (deserved) beat-down Peters is receiving, and expected to receive up until election day I think my fat little furry friend could win on policy alone.

    Americans For Prosperity is reminding Michiganians that Gary Peters was one of those congress critters who lack common sense, doesn't know how to read, do math or learn from history. The Michigan chapter of Americans for Prosperity, the nation's foremost grassroots advocate for health care freedom, launched a million-dollar multimedia campaign on Tuesday, aimed at holding Rep. Gary Peters accountable for his support of the ObamaCare mess.

    Television, radio and online ads launch across the state today and will run for three weeks at a cost of roughly $1 million. The television component will run on both broadcast and cable. The TV Ad and other data are ..

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Peters Repeated The Lie

    Seriously, ANYONE could win Michigan's  US Senate seat being vacated by Carl Levin.

    At least if Gary Peters is all the Democrat party has to offer. The RNC has targeted a number of politicians who parroted the Obama lie:"You can keep it .." in the run up to passage of the ACA.  They will be running a series of ads pointing out the many times each of these folks opened their pieholes to mislead constituents in this regard. The Michigan ads will initially be radio spots like this one (modified for Peter's name used instead) saying:

    "So what's your New Year's resolution? Here's one you can keep. Resolve to keep [Senator/Representative] honest in 2014.

    President Obama and [Senator/Representative] said if you like your insurance plan you can keep it under ObamaCare. They lied to you. Big time. PolitiFact called that the "lie of the year."

    Millions will lose their insurance--and their doctors.

    2014 is your chance to hold [Senator/Representative] accountable. Tell him this is one New Year's resolution you're sticking to.

    The Republican National Committee paid for and is responsible for the content of this advertising. GOP.com"

    And its based in fact.

    From the Ivory Tower in 2009:

    " .. Illegal immigrants won't be covered, Peters said. Medicare benefits won't change, and will include no co-pays for preventative care and a reduction in drug costs. And Congress isn't being treated any differently than anyone else who has employer-covered insurance, Peters said.

    "If you're covered and you like your insurance, you can keep it," he said. "

    You know, it seems as if those might just have been 'talking points' to keep the natives from getting too restless about the takeover of a quarter of the economy. No, really!

    Though this is very serious, It still reminds me of a joke.

    Go below the fold and I will pass it along.

    Study Says: "D'oh!"

    One of the major reasons used for justifying medicaid expansion in Michigan was that too many were using the hospital emergency rooms, rather than using a regular doctor.

    If fact, during the building expansion debate in 2013, Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder claimed as much:

    "Currently, Snyder says we are funding the Emergency room visits of those without coverage through our increased insurance fees. He believes it would save money to send them to doctors opposed to the Emergency room.

    Patriot Radio's "Trucker Randy" Bishop asked why he didn't opt out of Obamacare, like other states have done. The governor replied because that will leave people without healthcare and at the mercy of emergency rooms."

    Huh, I guess he was wrong.

    At least as is being reported in the Detroit News (and in a million other [surprised] outlets) he was:

    " A new study has found that people enrolled recently in Medicaid went to the emergency room 40 percent more frequently than others, often seeking help for conditions that could be treated less expensively in a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic."
    And there you go.

    And it wasn't as if there was no warning.  It wasn't as if there was no one talking about an increase in Medicaid use, coupled with a reduction of Doctors to handle such things.

    Twelve Days of ObamaCare

    The twelve days of Christmas run, traditionally, from Christmas Day to Epiphany Eve (January 5th), providing Christians with the opportunity to focus their worship and study on the birth of the Christchild and the salvation he came to win for us.  The twelve days of ObamaCare?  Not so much.

    The Republican National Committee's Research Department released a twelve-part series on the overall damage that our president's "signature achievement" has done, and continues to do, to the domestic economy.  Not by coincidence, the research pieces were timed to release one per day during the run-up to the president leaving for his Christmas holiday on December 20th.  An executive summary, with links to each of the research articles, follows the break.

    As it turns out, the RNC has made another Subtle statement with the Lie of the year trophies.

    Because of liberal policies, manufacturing over time has had to find other havens where makers of such products as TROPHIES can do so competitively.  The Dems have consistently advocated higher taxes, and unrealistic workplace rules that hamstring domestic manufacturing to the point of closure or relocation.

    Fewer makers of wealth and even fewer workers yet.

    Yep.

    How appropriate that the awards offered to those Democrats are from those places that carry so much of our debt.

    Lie Of The Year Trophies Awarded

    I found this story funny, though the subject is far from it.

    Apparently the RNC has awarded a number of vulnerable Dems a special award for their participation in the American catastrophe known as Obamacare.

    " Rebecca Coffman, a press assistant at the RNC ..  holding the trophy outside Senator Mary Landrieu's office before presenting it to one of her staffers. "We'd like to present Senator Landrieu with the Lie of the Year award on behalf of the Republican National Committee," she said.

    "Ok," said the staffer.

    "For lying to her constituents about keeping their plans-"

    "Alright," he said.

    "On behalf of the Republican National Committee," she concluded.

    Another staffer laughed. "That's pretty funny!" he said.

    "It is," said the first.

    Others were less appreciative.

    The receptionist for Senator Mark Begich, a vulnerable Alaska Democrat, was particularly unamused. "You're kind of a jerk," he told Coffman after accepting the trophy

    At least he took it.  No sore losers there, right?

    Gary Peters, who will probably lose to whomever runs for US Senate in 2014 received the award above for his part in bringing forward the end to the US constitution.

    Sorry Charlie, err, Joshua, however, besides same last names, you two do have the same stench.

    Last week, following offensive comments about LGBT Michiganians [those would be Michiganders] from Michigan's Republican National Committee member Dave Agema, Michigan Republicans collectively failed to take any action to hold Agema accountable for his hate speech. Republican Gov. Snyder was complicit in this, telling a Lansing radio host "I'm not getting into that."

    Hate speech my ass, signed Wolverine. Furthermore, if the Ann Arbor Nerd wasn't such a flaming Progressive surrounding himself in Obama funding secrecy, his answer for Medicaid Expansion would have also been, "I'm not getting into that."

    Every stupid thing on The Left has become an ongoing distraction from reality.

    Sit and spin on that one, Mr. deflector of communications for the Michigan Democratic Party.
