MSNBC's Krystal Ball calls out the "conservatives of conscience" for not standing up to those in their party who are lying about Obamacare.
A partial transcript:
"The GOP is saying to young people we would like to have the government stick an unnecessary trans-vaginal probe if you want an abortion but when it comes to health insurance don’t take any government help. Don’t go to the state or federal government operated insurance exchanges to buy private insurance. Stay away. Stay uninsured. Skip that pap smear. Skip that tetanus shot. Skip that prenatal care. Skip that cholesterol test. And if you die an agonizing death and unnecessary death; one that could have been prevented by the health insurance reform that bears the President’s name, at least you know your death would have not been in vain. You would have died to serve the noble and patriotic cause, not of conservatism but of hurting this President and denying him a victory. In the words of the Wall Street Journal, 'The GOP is flying a Kamikaze mission against this President and Obamacare. They are willing to destroy themselves, their political future. That they would also encourage young people to go uninsured and risk financial catastrophe and death from preventable disease means that they aren’t just willing to sacrifice their own careers to hurt this President. They would sacrifice the lives of young people if it helped them score political points. That is not Conservative, it is a national disgrace. Republicans, Conservatives of conscience, if there was ever a time to take back your party from the forces of anarchy, chaos and insanity, and self-destruction, now is that time."
Very well said.

I love MSNBC, but I REALLY can't stand S.E. Cupp!
Okay you know I do try to find something to like about just about everybody. Admittedly I don't always find it, but I do try.
So I have watched a few episodes of the new MSNBC show The Cycle, and really thought that this fairly young group had some good energy and have really enjoyed a few of their segments.
However there is one member of the panel that I simply cannot find anything positive to say about, And that is their token conservative, S.E. Cupp.
Before this gig I had seen her several times on other MSNBC shows (Most notably "Now with Alex.") and was able to take her in small portions without wanting to bang my head against the desk.
But now that she is a permanent part of the panel on "The Cycle," and they are letting her speak longer without reaching over and slapping her for interrupting the grownups, I am simply going to have to start skipping this show altogether so that I don't go to a local mall with a high powered rifle and open fire on innocent shoppers.
I know you think I am overreacting, but you are wrong. My first episode of "Cycle rage" was when S.E., while claiming to actually BE an Atheist, said just about the dumbest thing about atheists that I have heard in my entire life.
But I thought, "Hey Gryphen perhaps you are just a little overly sensitive about how Atheists are perceived and are letting this get to you more than it should." So I thought, "Good point, voice inside my head." and moved on.
But then in yesterday's episode S.E. introduced a discussion of those bullshit Voter ID laws and I..I just about...well take a look and you tell me if I am overreacting.
Okay did you see it? Was I wrong?
She literally pretended to be so hung up on the idea that 86 people might have voted illegally that she used THAT as a talking point for excusing the possible disenfranchisement of MILLIONS of patriotic Americans who might not be able to get the needed ID in order to vote. And she KNOWS she is making a ridiculous point, and simply does NOT CARE, just so long as she can drive home the GOP talking point.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, you lady!
God that pisses me off! You know this is exactly what the point of Aaron Sorkin's HBO series ("The Newsroom") is all about. Sometimes there is NO alternate point of view, because only ONE SIDE is right! And clearly in this case anybody with a handful of working braincells should know which side that is.
My advice to MSNBC is to get S.E. Cupp the hell off that program so that it can finally be the show that it seems to want to be, one which actually discusses important topics in an intelligent and energetic manner, WITHOUT feeling the need to invite the booger eating retard across the room to chime in with their opinion.
And by the way if that fucking idiot really is an atheist, then that must mean the mildew stain on my shower curtain truly IS the miraculous depiction of the little baby Jesus. But it ain't and neither is she.
