I voted for this guy?
Sayeth the Great One, the Imbiber, and the Knowing Inhaler of Carcinogens:
“If a mandate was the solution, we could try that to solve homelessness by requiring that everyone buy a house. The reason they don’t have a house is because they don’t have the money. And so our focus is on reducing costs, making it available—I am confident, that if people have a chance to buy high-quality health care that is affordable, they will do so, and that’s what our plan does and nobody disputes it.”
Oh, how far they have fallen…
The limousine liberals that have co-opted the democratic party can rant about conservative hypocrisy and oblique charges of racism until their jaws go numb (and they will), but how then, can they suppress the most glaring hypocrisy of all? By an obscure procedure they once called unAmerican, the President and his party knowingly intend to circumvent the will of the people in order to force through an unpopular and unconstitutional health mandate bill. Ask them why they are doing so, and they will throw out a bunch of poll numbers claiming that while the bill is unpopular, some* Americans endorse it when they have a little more information than what little they do in the first place (which is, tragically, often no information at all). It doesn’t take a genius to read the hubris in an argument which effectively translates as, “Americans are stupid and therefore they will believe what we tell them to when the wonderful fruits of entitlement fall from the fiscal heavens.” While I don’t necessarily think this shameless debacle is Obama’s fault, is it not hypocritical for a suicidal smoker to lead the agenda on health care reform? Likewise, as much as liberals try to downplay the drinking thing, is that not hypocritical as well? I’m a drinker, and as such I know that it would take an extraordinary amount of drinking for a doctor to intervene and tell me, on paper, that I should moderate my behavior.
*and only “some”, although I’ve heard many Democrats falsely say “most”
But perhaps it will be all she wrote on Democratic attempts are health care reform. The foremost reasons for the exorbitant costs of health care in this country aren’t caused by Republican villains, shadowy insurance CEO’s (who now figure squarely in the Democratic party), or the uninsured, but because of the unnecessary costs of caring for an insanely unhealthy population. Just so, an unhealthy man and his unhealthy legislation propose stealing from the healthy (and jobless) in order to perpetuate the status quo of a broken system. How fitting.
