This SD lawmaker sound like an insurance co. whore; maybe those bright citizens (my ex-wife was from there) would like to go back to the days when co.'s like Wellpoint can arbitrarily raise some insurance premiums by 40% after a record-breaking (profit) quarter, as they did last year.
This gun owner despises panderers. If some politician lies about or unfairly slanders the opposition - regardless of which political "side" that person is on - then he's just another liar, not to be trusted. Not so sure this guy is pandering to gun owners or sucking-up to his ins. co. bosses more here, though.
Guess I'll scratch SD off my list for hunting trips from now on... 


I'm thinking you're missing the point of the SD bill.  The sponsors know it will be killed, and that's precisely the point.  It helps illustrate hypocrisy on what sort of mandates the gov't can impose on people.

You're gonna have to provide a link on your contention that the healthcare law was originally a GOP idea.  That has been a Dem wet dream for decades.  I'm not implying that GOP is lily white on crap like this, but even if some GOP politician did support at one time or another, that idea has never had widespread GOP support.

I'm pretty sure this bill is NOT about guns. It relates to the BHO Gov't. Health care boondagle. If the Goobermint can mandate health insurance purchasing then why not "other" stuff like guns, etc. Get the point?

Even Obamacare is not all about health care. If is was then why is there a section that adds a tax starting Jan 1 2013 of 3.8% on the sale of your home? Nice way to screw our retired folks that want to move south for their retirement.

You are so right. Obamacare is about $ and power. Get the masses beholdin' to the Libs and get votes forever. I'm rather sure Dingy Harry Reid could not give a crap about the health and well-being of the average citizenry... just want to keep getting re-elected. The Dems stuck all kinds of hidden crap in that monstrosity.

If the bill was about medicine, why does it require the hiring of some 16,000 IRS agents and no Doctors?

sigh. There is no evidence that the quote is attributable to Thomas Jefferson.  It is certainly nowhere in his writings.
