About Cleaning The House

 

I just heard that as of January 1st, thanks to Obamacare,

.... OTC drugs, medicines, and biologicals will need a doctor’s prescription in order to be defined by the IRS as a qualified medical expense (QME) eligible for HSA, HRA, or FSA reimbursement.  Under ObamaCare, patients will need doctors’ prescriptions even for medications that are available over the counter.

Who knew?

 

But that's not what this post is about, so let me get to the point.  Sultan Knish and I have written various intermittent posts on the electoral status of the 54 HAMAS Congressmen (or HC). Working from Real Clear Politics and the Sultan's update at this post I've tried to identify some, if not all, of the HOPEful and important races for getting those "representatives" sympathetic to HAMAS OUT OF THE HOUSE.

 

CA-47  Leans Dem. HC Loretta Sanchez was only up 2 at the end of Aug.  Please support Van Tran.

CT-4  Leans Dem.  HC Jim Hines was only up 2 in early Oct.  Support Dan Debicella.

IA-1  Leans Dem. HC Bruce Braley was up 11 in Sept. polls, but Repub Ben Lange is an NRCC Young Gun and rising star; send money or go door to door if you live there.

KY-3  Leans Dem.  HC John Yarmuth is on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which no doubt pleases HAMAS.  Throw the bum out and replace him with National Guard Lt. Col. and UPS pilot, Todd Lally.

MA-6  Likely Dem. HC John Tierney's wife just pleaded guilty to tax fraud this week, so let's not be discouraged about this one.  Send your support to Bill Hudak.

MI-5  Leans Dem. We could actually get rid of HC John Dingell. I don't know why RCP has this as "leans Dem."  Republican challenger (with his own white coat) DR. Rob Steele is up 4 in the latest poll.

MN-8  Likely Dem.  HC Jim Oberstar is up against another NRCC Young Gun, Chip Cravaack. GOP polling shows a close race (see the Minnesota Independent).

 

-------- need coffee. to be continued. ---------

 

NJ-12  Leans Dem, but HC Rush Holt is only up 5 in Oct 9-12 polling, v. Republican Scott Sipprelle.

NY-22  (Likely Dem) is getting a lot of attention, since Bill Clinton campaigned for HC Maurice Hinchy ... and Ed Koch endorsed the Republican challenger George Phillips.  NB: Phillips apparently worked as a congressional staffer on efforts to purge support for terrorism and antisemitism at the UN. 

NC-4  Likely Dem.  HC David Price could easily be defeated by William Lawson; September internal polling showed the race in a virtual dead heat (see UnitedLiberty.org), and Lawson has been endorsed by Freedom Works.

OH-15 is already likely GOP  but still worth your attention. George Soros BFF and HC-Dem Mary Jo Kilroy must go.  According to The Hill, the Republican Steve Stivers is up 9.  Might be because of the efforts of "Kristol's Hawkish Pro-Israel Group."  If so, kol hakavod to them!

OR-4  Likely Dem. HC Peter DeFazio is being challenged by Chemistry professor, "brilliant scientist" (see the Daily Caller) and President, Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, Art Robinson.

VA-2 Leans GOP   HC Glenn Nye is down;  Scott Rigell is up 6  (The Hill).

WA-9 Leans Dem.  HC Adam Smith was only up 3 as of mid-September.  Support Dick Muri.

And last but not least, there's the race nearest and dearest to my heart:  Congress's No. 1 Recipient of contributions from CAIR, HC Nick Joe Rahall, v. Spike Maynard in WV's Third District.  You know what I think and whom I heart (If you're new here, use the search tool in the lefthand sidebar).

Many thanks for the antique ad. I haven't heard or seen the word "lumbago" in years. When I was a kid, it seemed virtually everyone on my block kvetched about "my lumbago." Then the word seemed to vanish like those now-nonexistent shovel-ready jobs. Maybe -- in just 19 more days -- the Dims will also begin to vanish. A NY Times (!) political prognosticator said on today's "Today Show" that he expected a Republican "hurricane." That's the sunniest forecast I've ever heard.
