For the record, November's election was a clear message but it seems progressives have clogged ears, or is that just me being nice? The truth is progressives have a delightful way of prevaricating and spinning facts and their larger meanings into an attempt to suit their own political desires. I think progressives maintaining their political lie, that repealing Obamacare is a waste of time and/or a political stunt, is a real leap of faith as well as a proof with them it's all politics, all the time. It's a lie in terms of reality and what the electorate voted for.
Polling is clear that even now, a year after Obamacare was shoved down our throats, at least 60% of those polled favor repeal of Obamacare. So what part of the Republican actions and intents are a political stunt, trickery or a waste of precious resources? Truth is progressives are running scared. They know the public has turned against them and their insanely odd and Marxist based ideology. They can sniff the wind and tell what's blowing in it and they are sacred as Hell.
This all goes back to the dichotomy of Obama swearing he was "laser focused" on the economy and jobs when as Tim Kaine, DNC Chair revealed the other day, "Obama has been too busy with Obamcare to focus on jobs for two years." (paraphrased) I believe if a poll were conducted of only independent voters it would reveal by a huge margin, they would prefer Obama to work on the economy and NOT health care reform. But since polls are usually conducted across partisan lines, results are skewed.
Are Congressional Democrats that obtuse? Nope. They are following the party line. For them to do so is proof they are more about the party's wishes than reflecting the will of the citizens, and again, we are nation Founded upon the consent of the governed, which means it's not what Democrats or Republicans want, but what the PEOPLE want. Get it? And the people want a repeal of Obamacare.
That is not to say there are not provisions conservatives favor. Notice how lefties always offer that citizens like "X" provision of Obamacare? And it's true, but that does not translate to meaning it has to be everything in the health reform package. I mean isn't it lefties who are always telling us nothing is black or white? Yet here they sit insisting since some folks from every ideology like one or two aspects of reform, therefore ALL the total package must stay. Can you say hypocrite? See my point? Once again lefties open their mouths and shove both their big feet into their oral cavity.
Truth is Republican's favored many alternatives including portability, some manner of keeping kids on their parents health policies for longer, and some hopeful wish to find a way to mitigate the "pre-existing" aspect of common health insurance. The reality is far more difficult to reconcile.
As many have offered, ya can't wait til your house is on fire to get homeowners insurance, right? Can't wait until you have an accident to get auto insurance, right? Can't wait until you have a fatal malady and then get life insurance, right? So how is it one can wait until they get sick and then buy health coverage? While I wish there were some remedy for this, truth is there may not be one.
As well, the real truth can be found if we listen to the other things progressives are generally supporting of. Progressive generally do not care for big business of any variety. Health insurance is indeed big business, as massive amounts of money are needed to be an insurance company. And since for profit entities so incense progressives, there is a fly in their foul ointment.
Since Obama and progressives have made clear the destruction of the private insurance industry are their eventual goals, doesn't it seem likely anything that serves that end would be an effort they'd support? If so, forcing insurance companies to go broke, and that's what any current iteration of covering pre-existing conditions is in reality, would be something progressives favor. It's not rocket science.
I do not claim to have the answers, but I am not obliged to provide answers to problems because I can see, identify and cite the original problem. Only to a progressive politico and their sycophancy is such a requirement incumbent upon one. BS. I am allowed to observe and alert others about a truth even if I do not have an answer as to how to mitigate or alter said truth. For progressives that's a tool in their little kit of goodies.
Just because they have legions of fools who buy into that crap does not make it something I am forced to comply with. Just because progressives say it or demand it is not proof I must comport to their wishes and I will damn sure not allow them to frame the terms of the debate to me. That's them "wishing in one hand and crapping in the other to see which fills up first!" Yeah, good luck with that progressives. Not happening, now or ever, so back to the drawing board for you cats to dream up another tactic because this one, like the overall progressive ideology, is an epic fail!
The citizens say no, and no it is no matter how long and loud their prevaricating tantrums are. In fact the rest of us love to watch them do all their crying. It's entertaining in the extreme, so thanks for the laughs lefties! Really, I mean that. Clowns slay me...they really do, and unlike many folks, they do not scare me one bit. They just make me laugh, and about now I am deeply embroiled in a belly laugh for the ages.
BTW, my first grandchild was born last night, 7:25PM Eastern, 6lbs, 6 oz, 19 inches long. Veronica is her name and we'll be calling her Roni. So far she seems to like Grandpa...that's me! And my daughter and her husband have that terrible health insurance through their jobs... union jobs, mind you, so they didn't hardly pay a penny out of pocket. Hehe!

Post a CommentGreat commentary, Grandpa. But more important today, Congratulations! on the Blessed arrival of Roni. You will have an absolute ball with her.
Grandpa Whippy, congratulations on the newest member of your family! Wrote a couple letters this morning and then re-read another 56 pages of Obamacare. If it weren't for being labeled a bottom feeder, I almost wish I had went to law school. One thing for sure ... in reading and re-reading the 2300 page miracle of the ages, you can tell it was hand-delivered to Witch Pelosi in a wheel barrow 10 minutes after Barry was certified as the winner of the 2008 election. I really love all the re-defining of legal terms, bastardizing of states' rights and pissing on the Constitution that was done. I think I can get 6,000 articles out of this 2300 pages.
Congratulations on the grandbaby. I remember when this debate was raging on Facebook. All manner of folks from other countries criticized me and others for being against the idea of nationalized health care. They called us "angry, stupid Americans." Now, Obamalosi changed it to insurance reform, which is also just as destructive. But communists want to see America broke, and they'll tell every lie they must, and then deny they said it. LOL! Weak sauce.
out with Obamacare and all of the progressive Liberal wackos
