Oh my gosh, then I know who is to blame, knew it was all Reid's fault, that old geezer! That nutcase that does not make a lick of sense when he speaks.

The hacker stopped after 4 minutes. If he had kept at it for just one hour he would have gained access to 1,050,000 records. He also noted that he didn't even have to hack into the system to gain access because the system was 100% unsecure. There are always risks but the risk with the exchange website is so extreme that people might as well just be handing out their personal information to strangers on the street. If Hackers got into Target site they will have zero problems getting into the exchange. I don't even think it's matter of if people have their info stolen, but rather, when. And the government has already stated that they will not let people know in the case of security breaches. This is a pretty big hoop that people have to jump through if they want a subsidy.

I wish the Republicans could offer better candidates than Sue Lowden and then, Sharron Angle. That's why Reid is still my senator. Wake up, Republicans. Offer a sane candidate, and you will defeat this grumpy old man Reid.
LOL. We've heard this tired refrain from the kool-aid brigade before. If the GOP nominated Jesus Christ himself, you would buy the DNC smear campaign again. And you'll be voting for the national embarrassment Reid until he is pushing up daisies. So spare us the faux regret about supposedly poor alternatives. Almost any alternative is superior to Reid.

According to ACASignups.net | Tracking Enrollments for the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) there were 6.3M signups as of March 25th.

How much time did the Target hackers spend getting 40 million pieces of info? Do you know? Again, the .gov website left it open for a hacker to get 70,000 in 4 minutes. Again, I ask, what do you think a hacker could do in a few hours?

Of course, maybe the reason it was only 70,000 was because that was all that actually signed up.

So if there were 6.3 signs up then it would take a "hacker" less then 7 hours to gain access to every single record in the exchange. Nice.

Sharron Angle really was a horrendous candidate.

haha, goes to show how dumb Harry Reid is..

If it takes you an hour to go through healthcare.gov, you taking that much time to go page by page, wouldnt slow the dam site down for others, it would speed it up because the hits on the server would be slow and manageable..

Check the poll numbers before and after the republican nomination process. I guess we Nevadans are all on the kool aid. Sorry you can't deal with reality.
