End Obamacare, don't mend it
The Washington Times ^ | March 16, 2012 | Steve King, Jim DeMint

Posted on 03/17/2012 2:18:52 PM PDT by trappedincanuckistan

Every election, voters are told that this election is the most important of our lifetimes. In most elections, it’s not really true. In 2012, though, it probably is true, for one reason: Obamacare.

Two years after a Democratic Congress and President Obama foisted onto the American people an unpopular trillion-dollar takeover of American health care, we know that Obamacare is, in fact, even more unpopular than before and that it will cost almost $2 trillion.

The American people were told Obamacare would reduce health care costs, but premiums already are jumping. The American people were told they could keep their own coverage, but a new Congressional Budget Office report says millions will lose their current coverage every year.

If Obamacare violates the constitution, our natural rights to the fruits of our labor, and concepts of individual liberty, then so do social security, medicare, and medicaid.

“In most elections, it’s not really true. In 2012, though, it probably is true, for one reason: Obamacare.”

In addition, Obama is the first Black muslim, White and America hating racist bastard, spawn of a communist whore.

While I haven’t done the research and math, I suspect that Obama has done far more damage to our country and cost America far more treasure than WW II.

IMPEACH the miserable bastard before it’s too late... hell, it may already be too late.

In ways I would have never imagined necessary, I am preparing for survival of his next 4 years.

Dear God, give us Newt......

If Romney or Hussein is our next Prez:

1. Courts will continue to make law.
2. Unelected administrative agencies will make law.
3. Unelected Czars will make law.
4. Congressmen will enjoy the perks of not making laws.
5. Enslavement under Obamacare will accelerate.

You may be right, but since when does making two wrongs make a right.

Do we need one more wrong.

Obamacare must be killed in it’s entirety.

Does Social Security pay for abortions? Does it ration our healthcare and have a death panel?

Obamacare is an abomination. Read the damned thing. It is Government taking over our lives and stealing our money to do it.

Mark Steyn was prescient when he wrote that Republicans were like European Conservatives - they never repeal a Socialist law, just claim to “make it run better”. The GOP could swamp the next election and they will still most assuredly push that theme.

This year, the November elections will either return to Washington a pro-Obamacare president and Congress or a pro-repeal president and Congress. They will have a mandate to enact the public’s will, one way or the other.

The writer should take his rose-colored glasses off for a moment and look around. Things are being set up so that a pro-Obamacare president comes to power (Obama or Romney,) against the public's will. The president will not have a mandate from voters - not any more than the current president does - but who cares about such details? He can just say that he does, and the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda will make sure that the message is delivered. The US voters are being conned into the game of "bad cop / good cop," but the fact remains that both leading candidates are cops.

Amen! Sen. Hatch was talking about ‘making changes’ to Obamacare; no way! Repeal it, then begin the process of getting government the hell out of health care.

Yes, Social Security does pay for abortions. SS is fungible, just like planned parenthood and other crap like that. And yes, Medicare and Medicaid do ration healthcare. Yes, Medicare has a death panel.

We joke about this, but it's not so funny now.
