If this keeps rolling out this way, it is very good news for Democrats in 2014..and the republicans will be crying crocodile tears.

And if that were not enough good news.. There are only 2 weeks till spring..

WASHINGTON (AP) — The share of Americans without health insurance is dropping to the lowest levels since President Barack Obama took office, but sign-ups under his health care law lag among Hispanics — a big pool of potential beneficiaries.

With just three weeks left to enroll on the new insurance exchanges, the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, finds that 15.9 percent of U.S. adults are uninsured thus far in 2014, down from 17.1 percent for the last three months — or calendar quarter— of 2013.

Released Monday, the survey based on more than 28,000 interviews is a major independent effort to track the health care rollout. The drop of 1.2 percentage points in the uninsured rate translates to about 3 million people gaining coverage.

Gallup said the proportion of Americans who are uninsured is on track to drop to the lowest quarterly level it measured since 2008, before Obama took office.

that some right-wingers claim don't actually exist? Wonder what their next logic-defying leap they will make?

4. PLD... it makes you wonder doesn't it?

Some can just make up things and it goes as gospel... Facts can't seem to get a place in the news.. Why is that. I keep asking myself? Because if good news starts popping up.. then people stop tuning in to get their daily fix of hate I guess.. must do something for them..is about the only thing I can figure out. If something actually works, and problems actually start to have a solution.. well lets not acknowledge that for a second..

5. On any given day there are hundreds of right-wing hate shows it seems

I don't know how people can stomach them for a prolonged period of time.

6. I don't know either PLD

It boggles the mind.. I am beginning to think people are addicted to the adrenaline rush of hate..Anything longer than 15 seconds and people seem to tune out.. but hate, can be pushed in one word, once the word has been tagged.. (example, liberal in the 80's.) Its almost a game of psychological manipulation on the mass media front.
