Check out the excerpt below from THIS THREAD (Emanuel blasts 'wrong-headed' GOP leaders over shutdown):
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday blasted Congressional Republicans for their “wrong-headed” budget brinksmanship he said led to a partial government shutdown... “The election was a referendum. Elections have consequences. The American people have spoken, he has gotten re-elected, and he’s being very reasonable about a way to move forward. They are being unreasonable and irresponsible and reckless.”

Lately I have been hearing many Democrats and their Democrat "mainstream" newsroom allies spout this brazen lie that the re-election of the African communist Obama was a "referendum" on Obamacare. It is time to put that lie to bed for good. Every time another rat makes that duplicitous claim, he or she needs to be called out:
How could last November's election have been a "referendum" on a program that only took effect this past Tuesday?"
The fact is, the program was deliberately delayed for several years for several reasons, one being to hide the actual cost by delaying outlays while collecting taxes for a few years before implementation.... and the other to make sure it WASN'T a referendum in the last election! The nightmare known as Obamacare was passed without one single Republican vote, and even some of the rat votes were bought ("Cornhusker Kickback") or bullied for. Now, finally, the Republicans control the House and have an opportunity to fight back. Thank God for Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and several others who see this opportunity for what it is - - the first real chance the Republicans have had to loudly proclaim that big government cannot commandeer the healthcare of an entire citizenry in order to provide "free" healthcare to a small portion of that citizenry.

It would have been if we hadn’t chosen the father of it Mitt Romney as our nominee.
The lies from Obunga and his Minions about the ACA weren’t as evident to the Low Information Voters in Nov. 2012 as they are now. Even Romney would win by 5 points if the election were next week.
The Libertards mantra that Obunga ran and won the election on Obunga Care doesn’t hold water.
Not a drop.
