Republicans: Ignorance Rules On Public Healthcare

  You looking at me?

Okay, this one is funny. As you know, Dems and lefty groups have been loudly insisting that House Republicans in favor of repealing the Affordable Care Act should forego the "government run" insurance they enjoy as members of Congress.

One of those GOPers is Rep. Leonard Lance of New Jersey, a fiscal hawk who opposes the health reform law out of opposition to big government. He is in the crosshairs of an ad by Blue America PAC accusing him of enjoying taxpayer-funded insurance.

After that ad started running, Lance's office protested that he is not enrolled in the plan enjoyed by members of Congress, and successfully got the ad pulled. But in response, New Jersey's Courier-Post did some digging and found that as a retired state government official, he and his family do enjoy taxpayer-funded health care on the state level....

Whoops! Rep. Lance's chief of staff appears to realize that by protesting the ad attacking him, he's only created more problems. The aide told the Courier-Post: "I should have kept my mouth shut."

  Federal government funded healthcare no good.

  State funded healthcare: good

A Message For Those Teachers Union Busters

  That would be you Governor Walker and the rest of you idiots.

Only five states in the US do not allow collective bargaining for teachers by law:

South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia...
They rank in the same order, 50th, 49th, 48th, 47th, and 44th on ACT/SAT scores

Wisconsin's rank?   #2 (Google it)

The above comes from an email sent to the “ Morning Joe “ program on MSNBC.
