NJ and Virginia fell hard for Obama’s line of crap a year ago but now they’ve seen the error of their ways. The establishment Republicans tried to shove a liberal down our throats in upstate NY and she was so soundly rejected she withdrew from the race. Hoffman, a political newbie on the third party Conservative Party ticket came out of nowhere with a Palin endorsement and got within 5 pts of winning the election. Independents broke for the Republicans in all three elections 2 to 1. And don’t believe the state controlled media that this doesn’t mean anything. In fact, we’ve already seen results. On the eve of the election Harry Reid saw the writing on the wall and announced Obamacare may not get voted on until next year. This is a huge flinch on the Dems part. Conservatism roared in last night’s elections and it’s only a foretaste of things to come.

The state-run media will definitely bury this story. It seems the supreme leader’s stimulus hoax is an even bigger disaster than we anticipated. Every state but one has lost jobs in the last 7 months. And we’re running a deficit of 6 million jobs from where the administration said we would be. It should be obvious to everyone now that Obama’s stimulus plan was just a huge lie. Expect the very same lies, and results, from the impending healthcare bill. LINK

Monday Mark revealed Obama’s Marxist agenda by playing Obama’s own words. Tuesday, Mark continued this theme by playing a host of recordings of administration officials admitting the ultimate goal of any healthcare reform is a government run single payer system. Even if a public option is not explicitly instituted, the bill will create the circumstances that will run private insurance out of business and lead to a government option within a few years. From Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, to Barney Frank, to Obama himself, Mark collects the clips so you can hear their plan in their own words. Obama intends to implement national healthcare and seize control of 20% of the U.S. economy. It’s all out there if we’re willing to face up to it. LINK

If you thought the grade schoolers singing praises to the Supreme Leader was bad, wait until you lay your looking balls on this. A group of high schoolers performed a propaganda piece set to the music of a Miley Cyrus song. The lyrics, of course, are an absurd mixture of lefty politics and the “struggle” for healthcare equal rights. That’s expected. The thing that really blows your mind is the smiley face jump and jive routine that goes along with it. It’s not only embarrassing for those poor kids and CNN, it should be an embarrassment to African-Americans everywhere. LINK

In politics on October 2, 2009 at 10:23 am
Rush Limbaugh has been talking this week about a behind-the-scenes plan to pass ObamaCare with a public option. It’s a bit complicated but is boils down to this. They plan is to piggyback ObamaCare on another bill that will pass easily. It’s slight of hand that is done all the time to sneak through smallish pork projects and such. But it’s never been tried before to sneak through nationalization of 20% of the economy! The Dems don’t have the public support or even the votes to have a straight up or down vote. The only way they can get this monstrosity passed is through parliamentary games. This plot needs to be exposed and prevented before it’s too late. LINK

General Stanley McChrystal is the commanding general in Afghanistan and he said he’s only been allowed to speak with BHO one time in the last 70 days.

Obama pulled one of his “historical” stunts again. He appeared on nearly all the major news shows in one day talking up Obamacare. The funny thing is that it doesn’t seem to have made bit of difference. People have made up their minds and the endless nattering from the prez isn’t helping. When asked whether BHO was overexposing himself a White House spokesman said no. They think that’s an “old media” idea and that it’s impossible to be overexposed into today’s fragmented media. Of course, their theory is dead wrong but aren’t all their theories? LINK

Obama’s bounce from his speech last week has completely disappeared. Over a six day period, support rose to 51% but is now back to the pre-speech level of 45% with 52% opposing. Seems six percent of the population was temporarily snowed but came to their senses pretty quickly. As Rasmussen points out the major problem behind Obama’s push is that 68% of Americans are happy with the insurance coverage they have. They fear they have more to lose than gain with the changes Obama is proposing. LINK

Glenn had been inching up the respect-o-meter. He occasionally stumbles into brilliance. Like the whole Van Jones thing. But man did he ever blow his coverage of the tea party march on D.C. Mark called him out for diluting the message of the marchers. They were there to rally against Obama’s lurch towards socialism, Obamacare and out-of-control spending. But Glenn took it upon himself to change their message at the last moment and say, “It’s not a march against Democrats. It’s not a march against Republicans. It’s a march against corruption!” Huh? Corruption? Really? Corruption of what by who? It’s just silly empty rhetoric. We’re up against a radical administration that wants to nationalize 20% of the U.S. economy. This is no time to lose focus. All you Beckers out there should take a break from his camera mugging for a couple weeks and check out Mark Levin’s show instead. You might actually learn something for a change.

On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill said there would have to be huge cuts to wasteful Medicare spending. One example she used was for “scooters” for seniors. She decried the unregulated ads for them on tv. She said a lot of them are going to people who don’t really need them. Aren’t we so lucky to have politicians in DC who know what’s best for us? She went on to denounce the number CAT scans seniors receive as a waste of money, too. Over and over again this administration has shown their lack of empathy for seniors and targeted them for spending cuts. How much are Americans willing to give up so Obama can have his moment of glory? LINK

Wouldn’t you love to hear Joe Wilson stick it the president again? Just imagine the look on Pelosi’s craggy old face if he stood up in front of Congress and America and said the following:
“I have come under fire for accusing the president of lying. Yet, during his speech, he accused a sizeable portion of the American people of “lying” just because they have an honest disagreement with his approach to healthcare reform. This kind of vitriol coming from the president of the United States is not only distasteful. It is divisive, provocative and akin to hate speech. So what is behind this blatant double standard? Why are his accusations assumed to be more legitimate than mine? Should President Obama be given special privileges and allowances just because of the office he holds? According to the Constitution, the answer is no. Like me, he is a representative of the people, nothing more and nothing less. This sort of double standard may fly in the Latin American dictatorships Mr. Obama is so fond of but it will not stand in a country of equals. If my accusations are worthy of public censure then so are the president’s. I am formally calling on President Obama to apologize for his slander of the American people. When and if he does, I will follow suit.”

When you hear Obama say tonight that “the other side” doesn’t have a healthcare plan, you’ll be armed with the truth. Sarah Palin has once again hit the nail on the head with a plan that can be described in one paragraph instead of the thousands of pages congress offers up. Here it is in her own words:
Instead of poll-driven “solutions,” let’s talk about real health-care reform: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven. As the Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon and others have argued, such policies include giving all individuals the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; providing Medicare recipients with vouchers that allow them to purchase their own coverage; reforming tort laws to potentially save billions each year in wasteful spending; and changing costly state regulations to allow people to buy insurance across state lines. Rather than another top-down government plan, let’s give Americans control over their own health care. LINK

He’s going to say his usual list of lies. He’ll say you can keep your current insurance plan if you like it even though new restrictions will put private insurance out of business in five years. He’ll say it doesn’t cover illegals even though the Dems refused to include language in the bill stating they are excluded. He’ll say there are no death panels even though boards will be set up to decide who is worthy of receiving treatment. So how is his message any different? He will also make it clear that the debate is over. He will no longer try to convince you. He agrees with Bill Maher that the American people are too stupid to know what’s best for them. Obama will declare himself the winner of the debate and shift from selling ObamaCare to implementing it. He intends for congress to vote on a bill before the end of next week. It will happen even if they have to go the nuclear option of having only 51 votes. We’re all fatigued from fighting for so long but we can’t let our guards down now. ObamaCare has to be stopped and only we can do it. LINK

If Obama was smart he’d just lay low for awhile. We’re all so sick of his ugly mug. Every time he appears on tv his approval ratings drop another point. But they still believe all he has to do is stutter some vague lines and we’ll all swoon. So he’s making a speech to a joint session of congress to “take the reigns back on the healthcare debate.” Yeah, right. These type of addresses are usually reserved for state of the union addresses and emergencies like Bush’s speech to congress after 9/11. Of course, with approval ratings of 42% after 9 months, you could say Obama’s presidency is in a state of emergency. The second place Obama will appear next week is at every school across the nation. He’s supposed to inspire our kids to embrace their civic duties. Sounds harmless enough until you try to imagine what Obama’s ideas of civic duty might include. Enlisting in junior league of ACORN? The speech will be televised live this Tuesday at noon. All parents are strongly encouraged to pick their kids up from school early that day and take them to lunch. And try to work in a conversation about our founding fathers and the Constitution. We know Obama or the school would ever go near those. LINK1 LINK2

We won round one. Drudge reports that Obama has given up on the public option. But make no mistake. He still intends to have it – just not right now. He had hoped to come in on a wave of popularity and implement his socialist healthcare program all at once. But he made a strategic mistake. He arrogantly pushed through his supposed stimulus bill first and the public has had time to see that it is really just the biggest liberal spending boondoggle in the history of the world. So only 9 months into his administration his popularity has plummeted to 42%. That means he can no longer cram through Obamacare unchecked. The masses effectively stood up and stopped it in its tracks. That doesn’t mean that he has seen the error of his ways. He just has to find new ways to trick you. Plan B is to scrub the public option to get the bill passed and then put it back in the first chance they get. If you can’t get the whole pizza just steal a few slices now and then grab the rest while nobody’s looking. It’s all slight of hand and lies. Will enough of the American people fall for it? Will Plan B pass? We’ll just have to wait and see. LINK

Nobody pushes Dick around. If Obama thinks he can attack the CIA with no one calling him on it, he’s got another thing coming. In an effort to distract from his economic and healthcare catastrophe Obama has gone back on his earlier promise and decided to investigate CIA officers who interrogated terrorist detainees. Dick rightly points out that we should be holding these people up as heroes, not persecuting them. They are responsible for eliciting information that stopped untold attacks and saved thousands of American lives. Obama is just feeding red meat to his lefty kook base to try to make amends for momentarily wavering on the public option in ObamaCare. It is a truly sick person who would sacrifice good people for his own political gain, but that is the president we have in Obama. LINK

Spector knew his flight to the Democrat party would bring risks. Although Pennsylvania is a slightly left of center state, they are far from liberal. The polls show Spector trailing behind his republican competitor. So what does the turncoat do to try to get back in good graces? Act more conservative. He’s found himself a solid issue to champion. He’s calling for the suspension of the VA “death book” that the Obama administration has recently reintroduced. It’s a book doctors use to discuss end-of-life issues with vets they want to get off the public dole. The creepy thing is that it’s also used for vets in wheelchairs and with financial problems as well as for those facing terminal issues. It’s very easy to draw a parallel with the methods that would be employed with ObamaCare at large. Spector is on the right side of this issue but it’s hard to imagine he’s sincere about it. It’s a bold and smart political move but we shouldn’t be fooled. The people of Pennsylvania need to elect a solid republican and send this guy packing. LINK
Death Panel, debunking myths, obamacare
In politics on August 22, 2009 at 10:53 am
Not often you get to start and end a sentence with the word debunking but Obama provided us with the perfect opportunity. He’s out there “hammering away” at supposed republican myths. He claims that it’s not true that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. He says this in spite of the fact that congress would not allow the republicans to add a measure that stated illegal immigrants would not be covered. And there are several youtube videos of Obama saying it is our moral obligation to cover illegals. His next statement is a tricky one. He says it’s not true that abortions are “mandated” under the plan. But saying they aren’t mandated is a far cry from saying they will be prohibited. He says every credible person agrees that there are no death panels mentioned in the bill. This is true that the exact words “death panels” are not used but a council is described that would make life and death decisions based on life expectancy vs. cost. Finally, he says the government plan would be optional. That you can keep your private insurance if you so choose. Although the bill doesn’t out and out ban private insurance it puts into play many provisions that would run private insurance out of business within a few years. So, everything he said was just mincing words. It’s obvious he’s lying and misrepresenting the bill in an attempt to fool us into supporting it. Maybe the most offensive thing about his “debunking” is that he provides no proof to support his claims. That his mere utterances should be all the proof we need. He just expects us to blindly believe. He doesn’t seem to realize those days have passed him by. He no longer has the trust of the American people. LINK

A great column in the Wall Street Journal points out that the problem isn’t that people aren’t listening to Obama. The problem is that they are and they can’t make any sense of what he says. From day to day, sometimes within the same speech, he makes completely contradictory assertions. He says the healthcare system we have now is a complete disaster that needs top-to-bottom overhaul but if you like it then nothing will change. He claims government won’t interfere with decisions between patients and their physicians except to force them to reduce the number of tests and treatments doctors prescribe. He uses Medicare as an example of a well-run government program that he also says has out of control spending and needs top-to-bottom reform. The only way you could support ObamaCare is to have complete and baseless blind faith. LINK

Sarah Palin continues to be the most sensible voice in the Republican Party. Why accept Obama’s premises about what’s wrong with healthcare? An honest and objective look at the supposed healthcare “crisis” reveals the real problem is the rise in the practice of defensive medicine. The trail lawyers sue with no caps. To protect themselves, doctors have to order extensive and sometimes unnecessary tests. Tort reform is what’s really needed. Sarah sites success stories in Texas where malpractice claims dropped 41% after reform measures were passed. Sarah is an example for us to think for ourselves and not to buy the bull Obama is pushing. LINK

Ouch. Obama is proving to be one of the most divisive Presidents in American history. Just look at the huge gulf in this new Zogby poll – Dems give Obama an 84% approval while Repubs give him an astoundingly low 5.7%! And the thing that’s really killing him is that he has lost the independents, too. He only gets a 37.5% approval amoung that group. Average it all out and the supreme leader gets a less than supreme overall approval rating of 45%. Couple this with the recent poll that showed a majority of people in all 50 states now describe themselves as more conservative than liberal. As Dick Morris points out, it looks more and more like BHO is riding his healthcare horse right over the cliff. LINK

Signaling a willingness to chuck bipartisanship into his ever growing pile of broken promises, Obama guaranteed ObamaCare will pass with or without any republican votes. This is the first time Obama has publicly given his support for congressional democrats to go it alone by using a seldom employed provision that allows them to pass a bill with only 51 votes. Many question whether this move is even legal since the provision was designed only to be used for budgetary votes. Obama went on to list his four basic requirements for a healthcare bill. He said it must 1. Reduce costs 2. Protect consumers 3. Provide affordable choices 4. Not add to the federal deficit. There’s not a chance in hell it will do even one of those things, much less all of them. LINK

A couple weeks ago they introduced the flying wing O with a multitude of faceless zombie drones following after it. The recovery.org road sign with its hammer and sickle like imagery is everywhere. And now they’ve introduced the new battle eagle O in support of their fight for healthcare. Whoever is making these logos needs to take his book of Third Reich imagery back to the library. It’s just too easy to picture this thing flying on a flag behind Hitler’s head. Can you imagine if Bush would have brandished his campaign W on everything once he got into the White House?

A 23-year-old University of Colorado student managed to break through the carefully choreographed ObamaCare town hall meeting to ask Obama a real question. He wanted to know how private insurance could possibly compete or even survive against a state controlled entity that doesn’t have to make a profit or pay taxes. Obama condescendingly said he liked the questioner’s chutzpah. Then went on to give the feeble answer “I think there are ways we can address those competitive issues.” Sounds like he’s got it all figured out, huh? The truth is he knows a public co-op would kill off the private insurance industry within five years leaving us all on the government dole. In an interview after the meeting Zach said he wasn’t satisfied with the president’s non-answer. He added “Medicaid and Social Security are bankrupting the country and we’re supposed to put more faith in the government?

Over the weekend White House officials started floating the idea of replacing the government run option with insurance co-ops. These co-ops would supposedly be privately held non-profit companies bankrolled by our taxes and regulated by the federal government. In other words, it’s the government option with a different name. It would still be designed to run private insurance out of business and have us all in the government plan within five years.

mayo clinic, obamacare

(ORIGINALLY POSTED 7/23/09)
During Obama’s propaganda party last night he accused doctors of performing unnecessary operations for profit. He also said they were incapable of recommending generic medicine for their patients. It’s a basic tool of the left to demonize their opponents. But this is a pretty tough pill to swallow. Will Americans really believe their doctors are out to get them? That the government will be better and more-trustworthy at making these decisions? Obama repeatedly says government intervention will keep the healthcare industry honest. Is anyone really buying this bull? No one is less trustworthy than the government. Obama also name checked the Mayo Clinic, insinuating that they support his efforts. He perpetuates this lie even though they have harshly condemned the bill. Obama is so arrogant and conceited that he actually thinks he knows better than your own doctor. Let’s hope he gets a big dose of reality when this bill goes down in flames. LINK

The White House instructed Dems to “Punch back harder.” Obama told followers “to get angry” and “to get in their faces.” Obama sent out an email call to arms and loaded town hall meetings with paid union thugs. Obama got elected as the great uniter but has proven to be the great divider. There wasn’t one incidence of violence at a town hall meeting until Obama instructed his goons to literally fight back against those who dare practice freedom of speech. Just watch this video that shows the tail end of Obama’s union thugs pushing a conservative African-American man to the ground. Check out the brave woman who puts herself between the man on the ground and the union guy who had at least 200 pounds on her. Who knows what would’ve happened if the thugs hadn’t noticed the cameras? They might have sent the man to his grave instead of the hospital. As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out, it is the height of hypocrisy that a president who made his name in community organizing has no tolerance for those who community organize against him. More and more Obama is showing America who he really is – a small and petty man who is far more violent and dangerous than any of us could have imagined. LINK

Next she called them “mobs” and today she’s calling them Nazis. She claims they carry swastikas although there are no photos or support for this claim whatsoever.

Dear Obama,
You have severely underestimated the American people. It’s not surprising considering your open disdain for this country and its citizens. You thought we’d go quietly and follow you off the cliff, but we’re not as stupid as you think. Sure, you fooled a slight majority of the population into believing your empty platitudes about “Change.” But as soon as people started to realize your idea of change really meant imposing socialism on America, your popularity began to plummet. It’s taken about 8 months for people to wake up but less than half of the country now supports you. And as for your agenda, it’s even less popular. You took the American people for chumps. You believed we were fat, lazy and stupid. You thought it would be easy to destroy us from within. You were wrong. We know the truth about ObamaCare. All we have to do is listen to your own words. Over a period of time you plan to eliminate private insurance and move to a single payer government plan. If that were implemented you would have control over every aspect of our lives. But it ain’t gonna happen. The American people have been awakened and they will not allow you to “change” this country any further. In your mind you think the ends justify the means. You childishly believe we can achieve a socialist utopia and once everyone sees how wonderful it is, they will forgive and even thank you for imposing it on us. But America isn’t some banana republic ripe for the picking. As much as you may hate it, this country was founded on principles of freedom and it runs deep in our blood. You are not a king or a dictator who gets to impose his will on us. You are just a citizen, no better and no worse than any other. This is a representative government and you are not representing the will of the people. Feel free to try to convince us your way is better by playing in the arena of civil discourse and free speech. But the lying and strong-arm tactics have to stop. The American people will not allow it. It’s time for you to stand down Mr. President. We have rejected ObamaCare and the sooner you realize that the better it will be for all of us.
Sincerely,
The Daily Instigator

The DNC has laid out a new plan to smear and malign those who oppose Obamacare. They intend to paint you as members of a radical minority who have been paid by the insurance companies to disrupt town hall meetings. They call you “angry protesters” and label you as “mobs.” It’s all an attempt to marginalize and discredit you. Of course, all these efforts will backfire and only serve to enrage you further. 65% of Americans oppose ObamaCare so we’re not talking about a fringe minority here. The truth is, the supporters of ObamaCare are the real fringe minority. The Obama regime will become victims of their arrogance as opposition continues to grow every day.

If that were true you’d expect them to show you the original video so we can see how his statements were taken out of context. But they don’t go there. Instead they show several recent, nonrelated clips of Obama saying he won’t eliminate private insurance as if that’s some kind of proof. We know he lies and that’s the problem!

But since it’s Obama, who knows everything about everything, we’re sure he’ll use some sort of wizard magic to get it right.

You’re too fat. That’s what the government thinks, at least. They say obesity is a huge problem in America. Isn’t that nice? The government is concerned about your health. Well, not really. They’re just concerned about how much it will cost to treat you. This is a foretaste of what Obamacare would be like. The government dictating what we can and can’t eat, and how much. Yesterday, the CDC recommended restrictions on portion sizes, the availability of unhealthy foods and beverages, and limits on the advertising of unhealthy foods. The recommendations are for public venues, with more widespread restrictions in the future. CDC Director Thomas Frieden recommended a tax on sugary drinks, decreases in the availability of unhealthy foods and increased prices. Former fatty himself, Bill Clinton, got in on the act adding “We have to change what goes on at home, in the community, the neighborhood and schools.” If Obama has his way, the government will invite itself to your dinner table and never leave.

This was probably built in from the beginning as a straw dog to be dropped later. All these details are irrelevant anyway. If we’re occupied with minutiae it makes us lose focus to oppose the whole idea at large. Obama certainly doesn’t care about the details – he hasn’t even read them!

Dick Morris has discovered the secret weapon that will help Obama transform America once and for all. By covering illegals, Obamacare will create an unprecedented run on the border. It will be an irresistible draw for millions of Mexicans to cross the border – and this is what he wants. Once these millions are here he will grant them citizenship and in one fell swoop create an insurmountable voting block. Have you wondered why the matter of illegals and healthcare has been completely ignored by the media? That’s because they’re trying to help keep it quiet and slip it through. When the GOP tried to add a provision to insure illegals weren’t covered, it was shot down. It was barely reported in the press. This may sound like a conspiracy theory but it shouldn’t be discounted. Obama’s very good at hiding it, but we all got a glimpse of his dark side last week when he called the police stupid. He’s an angry, bitter man with a radical agenda. He intends to turn America into a socialist country and he will do whatever it takes to accomplish this goal.

Only 32% think Obama is governing in a bipartisan fashion while 53% think he is a partisan Democrat. 20% think healthcare should be the Prez’s #1 priority while 37% think cutting the deficit should be. So, have we won? Has Obama been neutered? Don’t count on it. His agenda won’t change. Only his methods of achieving it will.

Obama has already tossed aside his promise to work for bipartisan support. He says the ends justify the means and that this bill is too important to get hung up on “process.” Just like his promise of transparency and his promise to exclude lobbyists from his administration, it seems Obama only keeps promises when convenient. In order for this bill to fail all 40 Republican plus 10 Democrats must vote against it. The decks are stacked against us. Unless there is a huge public outcry this bill will pass.

They’re going to make insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions without the option to charge them more. And, they’re going to make them cover anyone that applies – they can’t say no. The laws of economics be damned! So what if they companies go broke! But wait, that’s the real goal. Obamacare Mach II retains the government run option so when the private companies go out of business everyone will be forced to look to Obama for salvation. And we do mean forced. There is a huge penalty tax imposed on anyone who tries to go without healthcare. Just in case there are any politicians out there who aren’t eager to destroy the world’s greatest healthcare system, the Dems think they have one more ace up their sleeve.

A new study finds the socialist’s shining example of government run healthcare, Canada, has out-of-control wait times for treatment. Here are a few examples. The average wait for urinary incontinence treatment – 247 days. Chronic diarrhea treatment – 260 days. Colonoscopy screenings – 148 days. And, if you have an emergency? Let’s just say you better bring a sleeping bag. The average wait time for ER care is 23.5 hours. People are literally dying waiting for their second rate healthcare. Is this really what we want for ourselves in America? LINK
iraq pullout, obamacare, state-run media

Heard much about the military pulling out of Iraq? Or, the increased violence? No? Wonder why that is. Oh, I know. Because it’s Obama’s fault! His artificially imposed withdrawal deadline is fast approaching and it’s fanning the flames of Iraqi opposition. Iraqi military leaders openly wonder if they will be able to maintain stability and protect their borders. But don’t expect to hear much about it on the state-run media. They’re too busy pimping Obama’s healthcare fiasco. And, if they do happen to let something slip they sure as heck won’t blame it on BHO and his blatant disregard for advice from the military. TDI can hear the spin now “Bush’s war has taken a turn for the worse as Obama heroically steps in to move our troops from harm’s way…” LINK

obamacare, tax increase
In politics on June 29, 2009 at 10:34 am
When they take more of our money through increased taxes to pay for free healthcare, it won’t be enough to really pay for it. So, they’re going to have to ration care to the elderly, cut the quality of care for everyone and tax us on the free benefits that we’re already paying for with our taxes. Whoo! Where do I sign up? Looks like Johnny Government has it all figured out. LINK

Remember Logan’s Run? It’s a terrifying story about an oppressive government that dictates who lives and who dies. Once you reach a certain age the cost to maintain you outweighs your value to society. Sound like a certain healthcare plan we know? Obama said on his ABC infomercial that older people will have to learn to do without and forgo operations for the greater good. Can you believe how cold-hearted and calculating this guy is? He wants to give himself the power to determine if your life is worth living. That should send a chill up the spine of every American. It’s not just science fiction anymore. It’s Obamacare!
healthcare, obamacare, rasmussen poll, republican

Republicans should be emboldened by a new Rasmussen Poll that shows very soft support for public healthcare. At 41% to 41%, the public is equally divided on whether it’s a good idea to set up a government health insurance plan. 63% think it will lose money and require taxpayer subsidies. Only 32% believe Obamacare will reduce costs. If you look at Republican support, 67% are opposed to the proposed changes. With these kinds of numbers Obamacare can be defeated. Now, we just have to pressure our elected Republicans to stand up and represent our best interests. We’ll see if they have the guts. LINK

Where’s AARP on this issue? Why aren’t there protests at the old folks homes? Where’s the tapioca revolt? Tom Daschle, tax cheat and author of Obamacare, openly admits that the elderly should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. Under nationalized healthcare, we won’t be able to foot the bill for seniors to have operations. They’re going to die soon anyway the theory goes, so why spend money on them? Put bluntly, Obama expects the elderly to pay for nationalized healthcare with their lives. Is that a price we’re willing to pay? LINK

ABC “News” is preparing to unleash a fetid wave of drivel in an attempt to help Obama destroy the finest healthcare system in the world. On Wednesday, June 24th, ABC will subject its viewers to a massive dose of BHO flapping his gums about the healthcare “crisis”. It all starts on Good Morning America when Diane Sawyer will do her best to make the President look smart by asking softball questions, followed by a riveting Robin Roberts interview with Michelle! Then comes the primetime question and answer session with Obama featuring actual stupid Americans, hand-picked by ABC. As if that isn’t enough to pack emergency rooms across this great nation, more healthcare blather will follow on Nightline. Charlie Gibson will even anchor “World News” from the White House! Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and other despots around the world will be sure to tune in for this fine example of state run media. TDI humbly suggests you do not. LINK
If us stupid free-thinking Americans don’t hurry up and get behind Obamacare, Big O will put us in our places. He’s gonna Tweet! Don’t make him do it! The cyber-world is trembling in terror. Can you imagine the impact? “Had too much wagyu beef. Need to go for a run. Support Obamacare or I’ll have you flogged.” Or, “It’s Dictator’s Night at Ruby Tuesdays. Meeting Chavez and Ahmadinejad for drinks. The elderly should accept old age and die quietly.”
