    "Friedman works as a research assistant."

    2 things, if I was paying an employee to be a research assistant I would fire them if they didn't do a simple public records search on an opponent. Also I'm sure Wehby's campaign staff and the Republican party of Oregon have done similar public record searches on Merkley.

    This is how both parties conduct campaigns. Hardly a smoking gun.

    No Sly, what we know is the Democrats didn't fail to do a public records search to deflect the issues away from Merckley. Merckley's crappy record voting for and supporting bad policy are plan for all to see. An Obama boot lick is his claim to fame, no wonder we have to hear about
    Wehby's companions turning on her.
    My Wife asked me this evening, what kind of panty waste call the police on a woman?

    Well I suppose there will more of this to endure, but if Merkley had something to crow about
    we would be hearing it . Don't you agree?
    He's Obama's boot lick, voting for ObamaCare, Ban the 100w lightbulb and other tripe.

    The following is Merkley's response to my query about the tax on self insured employers who provide insurance for employees, dependents and retirees and their dependents. I asked him if he had epected this tax to produce
    revenue and if he did why did he expect it to produce revenue?

    You see he dd not even take up the subject. BTW, Obama has since then exempted the Unions from this tax.

    from Merckley;

    One of the central goals of the Affordable Care Act was to expand access to high quality health insurance plans for those who did not like what they had or did not have any options at all, while allowing those who did like their insurance plan to keep it. By allowing consumers this choice, the law gave potentially affected consumers the power to decide whether they wanted to switch plans or keep the plan they had. Today, because insurance companies have changed their plans over the past few years to maximize profits, most of the plans that would have been grandfathered are no longer offered by insurance companies. At the same time, insurance companies signed people up for new or changed plans that didn't meet the basic consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, and didn't warn people that their plan would eventually be discontinued. As a result, many consumers in Oregon and across the country don't have the choice to keep their insurance plan because it wasn't offered in 2010 when the Affordable Care Act became law.

    I believe it's unfair to make consumers pay the price for their insurance company denying them the ability to choose the right plan for their family. To correct this situation, I recently cosponsored the Keeping the Affordable Care Act Promise Act (S. 1642), a bill that would allow consumers to keep any health insurance plan currently in place until the policy holder decides to cancel or change the policy. I was pleased that after this legislation was introduced, President Obama announced an executive action allowing all insurance plans currently in place to continue through 2014.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me and giving me a chance to share my perspective. I hope you will continue to send your observations and thoughts my way.
    All my best,

    Jeffrey A. Merkley
    United States Senator



    Quit digging Jeff, the hole is too friggin deep. Take a break! The new law he wants to undo the damage won't get my insurance back and the he won't get any revenue either.
    Actually Merkleys comment reveal he doesn't even understand the concept of how insurance works, but he is not alone, Obama doesn't either.

    Nobody else accessed them. You said it was her republican opponent. The record shows it was Merkley who did it.

    Three sentences, and not one of them is accurate! Impressive.

    Who accessed the records blows your theory out of the water and fits mine.

    How does it feel to argue on the wrong side of things always? :)

    The internal polling on this capitulation by Obama must be horrific for the WH

    barfo slinks away again. It's why he made his reputation on what are now lame one-line jokes. He's the Henny Youngman of S2, and it's cute seeing him try to engage in legitimate debate.

    I didn't slink away, I got bored. Denny says stuff that isn't true, I point it out, and he ignores it and pretends we both said something else. It gets boring after awhile.

    You, on the other hand, aren't even arguing the topic, you are just making ad hominem attacks. That's even more boring, since you aren't any good at it.

    Why would I argue a topic with someone whose primary role here was trolling me and my daughters via his avatar for years? You're not a serious person. Your posts are jokes.

    People closely connected to the Merkley campaign requested those police records be released. You took the report and kept on the Oregon Dems' "War on Women" routine that is going to blow up in your face this fall.

    If by some random chance I come across this post after the election, I will get to laugh at it again.

    What I wrote was true. You argued against it until the smoking gun.

    I don't suggest anyone vote for her, or Merkley. All I've said is the stalking thing is a non issue smokescreen by the Merkley campaign.

    All your "but it could be something else " nonsense is just that - nonsense.

    If the president getting a BJ from an intern is a non issue, a bitter breakup that both parties are long over is even less of one.

    Figures. You spent how many years laughing knowing that your avatar was making fun of my daughters? 3, at least, right? You like to laugh at sick kids. We get it.

    Not if the President is a Democrat, and the GOP potential Senate nominee is a woman. Wehby's biggest fault is that she isn't a guy. Then, the Dems would be A-OK with that type of behavior.

    I see it completely different. The fact Wehby is a female gives her a much better chance of this being OK. If a male was accused of of stalking by two separate people on two different occasions, I'm guessing one female saying she regrets filing a police report wouldn't fly.

    Was Clinton's blowjob a non-issue? At the time it seemed that is all people were talking about. Republicans wanted impeachment and democrats saying it was a private matter and not relevant.

    If a male boss was to receive a blowjob from a young female intern in the private world, in the place of business, it would be an issue. Thought it was a big issue for Clinton, but maybe I'm wrong. Wasn't there DNA testing of a dress and the whole "I did not have sexual relationship with her" statement that was "plastered" all over the media for months?

    Ok. Let's take this post:

    "Nobody else accessed them"? Neither of us know for sure, but your own link says that the democrat researcher was 'the first' to access the records, which certainly implies that there were others.

    "You said it was her republican opponent". No, I said there was no proof that it was not him. And there still isn't proof that it was not him. For example, democrat researcher guy could have provided the ammo to him (or his campaign). Or maybe someone on the R side accessed the records after the first guy.

    "The record shows it was Merkley who did it". No, that's just flat out false. While he certainly may have done it, there is currently no record that says so that you or I have seen.

    So no, what you wrote was not true. Zero-for-three.

    Who said it was an issue? I just like to make fun of Republicans. You just like to defend them. I don't believe I ever seriously suggested she's unfit for office because she's a creepy stalker. She's unfit for office because she's a creepy Republican.

    OK that is what I thought, blowjob was a big deal.

    Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was impeached by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice, on December 19, 1998. Two other impeachment articles, a second perjury charge and a charge of abuse of power, failed in the House. He was acquitted of both charges by the Senate on February 12, 1999.[1]

    Independent Counsel Ken Starr alleged that Clinton had broken the law during his handling of the Lewinsky scandal and the Paula Jones lawsuit. Four charges were considered by the full House of Representatives; only two passed, and those on a nearly party-line vote. It was only the second time in history that the House had impeached the President of the United States, and only the third that the full House had considered such proceedings.
