5 Liberal Lies About Obamacare

Liberal claim: Abortion won't be covered by the bill.

Short answer, if it isn't explicitly prohibited in the legislation, they will "find" coverage for this or anything else at a future date.

Putting a prohibition in the bill would require CONGRESSIONAL change to the law at a future date to permit it. They would find it harder to push through that subsequent law (unless it was bundled in some unrelated legislation).

But telling me something "won't happen" because it may or may not be explicitly permitted in today's rough draft don't mean s**t.

As Ronald Reagan said back in the days when he was ONLY an actor, any such plans will accomplish their socialist ends by incrementalism.

Barry is already using this soft sell when he points out that people are already using Medicaid. It doesn’t work as an answer to say “THIS ISN’T SOCIALISM”. It only works if he is trying to suggest “Socialism is not such a foreign concept, really...”.

Yes.

The banking crisis appears to be a deliberate act. Looting by insiders. Just how did Louis Freakshow and Jamie Gorelick go from being National Security “experts” to banking “experts” and walk away with millions for their actions?

All socialist revolutions including a looting of the treasury.

The bailout wasn’t designed to help the capitalist economic system. It was political payback for insiders and activists.

Liberal claim: The public option won't kill private health insurance.

If COBRA via Ceredian is private, it deserves to be killed.

If COBRA via Ceredian is private, it deserves to be killed.

If you don't like it, I'm sure you're welcome to shop around for something better. Oh, wait, government says medical insurance cannot be sold across state lines. Therefore, your choices are very few.

As is so often the case, the answer to this problem is LESS GOVERNMENT involvement, not more.

Here’s your “Trojan Donkey” idea!

Are you willing to just hand the reins of power back to the Republican party, which showed since ‘94 that they do not truly believe in limited govt, balanced budgets, freedom, liberty or the “American Way”. The political process is broken, and a simple change of jailers is not going to to a damn thing, except take us where the Democrats want us to go, with Republican drivers.

The majority of Republicans - certainly Conservatives - want to rein in government intervention and spending.

The vast majority of demoncrats are Marxist, and the ones who aren't will still vote with the herd. Unity amongst the party is mandatory. Individualism is not accepted.

What we need is a Conservative Party. For now, all the conservatives are in the Republican party.

Hopefully, the liberals have overplayed their hand this time, and the RINOs who joined them to placate - rather than educate - their liberal constituents and majority party peers will be washed out with the tide.

Why push this bill when it will also destroy them?

Personally? No because they aren't covered under the plan, they have their own.

Politically? No because they have other ways to guarantee their reelection (e.g. ACORN).

Destroy the country? Yes, that is their goal, but they will have their gated communities to retire into.

The majority of Republicans - certainly Conservatives - want to rein in government intervention and spending. I wish that were true, but IMO, Republicans love power, believe that the country is fine except for a little fine tuning, and that they can steer a course towards sanity. The problem is not those that we elect, but that the govt is loose from the chains of the Constitution, and unless we can get it back on its leash, the best hope for Liberty on this Earth will be gone in less than 12 years.
