New Democrat talking point: ObamaCare is a mess because Republicans won’t fix it!
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/26/16 | Dan Calabrese

Stop us before we socialize medicine again

When they’re not offering the lamest possible defenses of their horrible law, as Rob showed you earlier this morning, Democrats are coalescing around a rather novel talking point concerning the utter collapse of ObamaCare. Are you ready for this? The disastrous failure of a law shoved down an unwilling nation’s throat by Democrat votes - and only Democrat votes - over the loud and determined objections of every Republican in the country, is the fault of (drumroll) Republicans.

Yep. Steven Waldman, writing in Fortune, pretty well encapsulates this hot new talking point:

Obamacare is hurting my family, and I blame…the Republicans.

The only fix for this unmitigated disaster is to repeal and replace it.

Replace it with what? Another unmitigated disaster? The only real solution is to repeal it period. There is no replacement that government could come up with that won't be horrifically expensive.

Obamacare was hailed as a brilliant masterpiece.

Why does a genius masterpiece need alteration?

You don’t let your 4 gear old go painting over a Van Gogh once Van Gogh is done. That’s how they framed the republicans all throughout this process. They shut them out at every step. They had locked them out of ongoing meetings.

No...NO republicans voted for Obamacare. None!

Any attempt to tweak it, or change it, was met total resistance from the president, to democrats below him, all the way to dog catcher.

Democrats - from the president down, told lie after lie to sell this catastrophe to the American people. And, somehow got Sir Roberts of SCOTUS to convert the whole thing to a “tax” so it would fit the constitution.

Republicans were helpless, and USELESS through the whole process.

Fast forward, Obamacare is literally falling apart. Now, the libs want to blame that on the GOP?

I say”Pubbies, CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS”.

You’ve spent BILLIONS on this clusterf**k of an insurance fraud, and now you want to pin it on someone else.

Who is running the dems, third graders?

No, this fiasco needs to be “wiped clean” (and NOT with a cloth). Bleach Bit the whole damn thing. Refund the “fines” levied on American citizens for not buying it. Apologize to the insurance companies, the doctors, the hospitals, and the people for putting them all through the misery.

Since we didn’t vote for it, let the rats take care of it.

Or, elect Trump, and let him destroy it and return to a free market system for health care.

Obamacare is the democrats’ disaster. They own it, ALL of it.

The democrats single-handedly destroyed the health care industry in the US.

The democrats voted for this abomination in a straight up party line vote.

Never forget this: the democrats deliberately destroyed American health care for personal political and financial gain.
