  • 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.

    Will Michigan Democrats Fly Right?

    Today there is a vote to repeal Obamacare.

    Will Democrat congressmen from Michigan join the common sense crusade to repeal the miserable legislation that has proven to be too costly for families and business, or will they double down on the progressive stupidity that brought it about? Will Gary Peters, who plans on advancing his career with a US Senate run stand with working families who are finding their hours reduced, and premiums exploding?

    Today, Michigan Congressman and 2014 Senate candidate Gary Peters will have another opportunity to vote against the train wreck, formerly known as ObamaCare.

    For years, Gary Peters has been a "proud", staunch supporter of the President's costly health care law. But, a report by the non-partisan Society of Actuaries shows that ObamaCare will increase the costs of medical claims in Michigan by more than 25% and by an average of 32% nationally.  Personally, I have seen 70% increase already.  It has forced our business to make other changes.

    And how does Senate Democratic Leadership think the ObamaCare roll-out is going?

    Recall the words of ObamaCare Architect, Sen. Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus

    "I just see a huge train wreck coming down." -
    And surprisingly even THIS by Sen Harry Reid:
    "unless we implement this properly it's going to be a train wreck, and I agree with [Baucus]."
    And Schmuck Shumer?:
    "ObamaCare could raise premiums"
    Of course Senate Democrats have a solution: More taxpayer dollars are needed to stop the oncoming health care disaster. Yeah, ObamaCare already needs a 'taxpayer bailout'.

    Remember when..."The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act--ObamaCare--was sold to Americans as the solution to the problems plaguing our nation's healthcare system."?

    The Liberal Senate Votes itself a Vote!

    Hello All,

    I wasn't going to write about "Washington D.C.'s Vote" but the more I read all the comments over at "Hot Air " the more I realized that everyone is missing the point.  

    I lived around D.C. pretty much from birth until I was 31 either in MD or VA.  I worked in on around D.C. for over 18 years.  So I am well aware of the issues in play here.  "We The People" should be demanding an amendment to the Constitution giving D.C. two Senators and two Congressman, Point and Blank!  However, what the Liberal Senate is currently doing is taking what has been a smaller national issue, moving it to the front so they can secure a sure "Left" vote.

    With the Left Senate so close to being filibuster proof this will secure it for them.  But what is really going on, that no one is catching, is that they will be making the tie breaking Vice President vote meaningless. The Founding Fathers set up the Senate so it would always have an even number of votes so the "President of The Senate" would always have a role.  With all our Vice Presidents lately giving up their Constitutional responsibilities as President of the Senate, there was only one remaining role the Vice President still had, their tie breaking vote.  With that vote gone why do we need a Vice President.

    Although the current Vice President is "Left", the liberal Senate could not guaranty this always to be true.  Now they have secured that the tie vote will always be "Left".

    As Always Thanks for being involved, Many Blessings, Shane

    and still in the "Hunt For Red November"
