CDC has changed in the past 40 years and is now a purely political organization.

In Maine CDC people were caught trashing files in a political move.

Pathetic.

Yes, let’s just throw more money at bloated, inefficient, corrupt government agencies. That will stop Ebola. /s

If you want to stop Ebola from coming into this country, you stop it at the source. No persons from any of the affected regions should be allowed entry.

Of course, it’s a bit too late for that, now, so they’re gonna ask for money to fix what they broke. And they’ll do a lousy job at that, too.

When it comes to blaming Republicans for anything bad, its a matter of ‘when’, not ‘if’.

I’m shocked global warming hasn’t been named as the culprit.

Many people will believe this, despite the fact that “since 2010” Democrats had (1) a supermajority in Congress + the presidency, and since 2011 (2) a Senate majority + the presidency, and the GOP could not cut sh*t without the approval of Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Many of us have said for many years that Obama is doing this INTENTIONALLY.
He using the old Soviet Plan from 1934 or earlier.




Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
AND NOW, WE CAN ADD "Establishment Republicans" TO THAT LIST, ALSO!
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are "Collapsing the System".
And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE "SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM". They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!

Lets review: So Democrats,
Sen Mark Kirk's statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ... It's not our fault that DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund.
Let's remember ...
OBAMA-NOMICS,
Bringing unemployment to the masses!

OBAMA-CARE,
Bringing denial of service to the masses.

OBAMA BORDER SECURITY,
Bringing disease and DEATH to the masses.

OBAMA'S RULES OF ENGAGEMENT,
Destroying our military on all fronts.

IF you voted for this ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, this MUSLIM TERRORIST IN CHIEF,

Pathetic is right. Everyone in their right mind knows that the Ebola President and his open borders fools at the CDC are responsible.

I just wonder if the Republican candidates can look down deep within themselves and summon the courage to run ads reminding voters that is is Obama who is president and made the decision to refuse to quarantine the West African nations. That quarantine is a simple concept that has been successfully used from the beginning of time. But will they tremble at the thought that that may be considered racist? And if they conclude it is racist, they will remain mute because, as everyone knows, it is better for everyone to die than they, the candidate, be accused of racism.

Exactly!
The cowardly "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" have given the DemocRATs the funds, under several "Continuing Resolution",
and in them was almost every penny they've ask for.

I don’t believe for a second that this ploy by the Democrats will fly with the public. I feel that the public is becoming aware of the Ebola issues, especially since the Duncan case in Dallas. People generally understand that our federal government is willfully exposing our country to this disease by continuing to allow people from West Africa to travel here unimpeded. This is the “common sense” solution to protecting the country, but is not being implemented, and has NOTHING TO DO with the funding of the CDC or Republicans. I think there is a growing anger about this, and this anger will continue to grow as more and more cases crop up.

“This is the “common sense” solution to protecting the country,...”

I’m sorry—I meant to say that closing all of our borders, but especially those to West African travelers is the common sense solution to protecting the country.

The democrats have already destroyed their creditability with non aligned voters with their constant crude politicization of everything, and Obama is the walking epitome.

Sane people easily recognize opportunistic liars and are turned off by those who are unable to admit mistakes.

Obama utterly failed in his most basic responsibility, to keep America safe. He is the Chief Executive in charge. Ebola was a known threat. His policies allowed it to come to the US. Obama cannot hid behind congress, or behind some bureaucrat. Obama owns this miserable failure. May his soul burn in hell.

The Facts About Ebola Funding By GOV. BOBBY JINDAL ,


October 12, 2014
http://linkis.com/www.politico.com/mag/8lXDI

"..Our Constitution states that the federal government “shall protect each of [the States] against Invasion”—
-a statement that should apply as much to infectious disease as to foreign powers.
So when that same government prioritizes funding for jungle gyms and bike paths
over steps to protect our nation from possible pandemics,
citizens have every right to question the decisions that got us to this point. "

"In her speech, Secretary Clinton said, “too often our health care debates are clouded by ideology, rather than illuminated by data.”
I couldn’t agree more. But in this case, the data show not that the CDC faced a lack of funding, but misplaced priorities
for that funding based on choices made by the Obama administration."
