Reid says Republican criticisms of Obamacare are simply ‘jokes’

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday said Republican complaints about President Obama’s unpopular health-care law are not valid criticisms, but rather “jokes.”

In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday, the Nevada Democrat didn’t address any of the GOP’s specific complaints about the law. But he playfully suggested that Republicans, in order to save time, just “number their one through 50 criticisms of Obamacare” and yell out a number when they want to reference a specific complaint.

“We’ve heard things so many times, we would immediately laugh because basically they’re jokes,” Reid said.

He continued: “It’s too bad that the Republican leader and many of his colleagues want to keep fighting an old fight. Four years ago we passed the health reform bill, four years ago. The president signed it, the Supreme Court upheld it. It is the law of the land.”

Addressing the problems with the rocky roll out, Reid acknowledged: “Of course, we want to make it better, and certainly with what’s going on with the rollout of the web site, we need to do that. I wish our Republican colleagues would stop trying to scare people out of participating in this program.”

That whole Liberty thing is so over for the Democrats.

As far as they are concerned — Liberty is on “the wrong side of history.”

So Joe Biden followed Hairy’s advice and decided to number all his lame jokes. He distributed copies of the jokes with their corresponding numbers to the Senate and those jackhandles actually read and even memorized them.
So everyone is in the Senate cafeteria enjoying bowls of beans and ham. Juan McCain stands up and says, “39!” and all the senators have a good laugh. algore is visiting and he stands and says “17!” and again, everyone cracks up.
So Hairy stands and says “41!” And there is dead silence. Thinking they must not have heard him, he says “41” again. Nothing.
Joe turns to him and says, “That’s OK Fred, don’t let it bother you. Some guys just don’t know how to tell a joke.”

Wonder how much they’d charge for a pay-per-view of Harry Reid in “Bumfights”?

Bet a LOT of people would pony up for that...

Hitler had a legacy too.

No RINOs in Congress have ever understood that Obama has the singular purpose of destroying the United States of America.

Obamacare is the perfectly designed Democrat designed Federal Law to destroy the finances of our Middle Class.

The more that Obamacare is a disaster, the sooner America will be destroyed. Obama is now very happy, happy, happy.

The Obama-Care Socialist Health Insurance Tax was designed to destroy the finances of America’s Middle Class. A fact that no RINO understands.

With the loyal help of RINO Boehner and RINO McConnell, Obama has been very successful to date.

Some RINOs have suggested that the Canadian Socialist Health Insurance Tax be the fallback model for the RINO revival of the failed Obamacare Socialist Health Insurance Tax concept approved by all of the Democrats in Congress.

RINOs in Congress have never understood that America is broke, we cannot afford to be taxed for the Welfare Programs that we must then borrow money to pay for, and that successful Governments have nothing to do with insuring our health, or our financial well-being.

All efforts to institute Government Insurance for home loans, business loans, and health insurance will end in the same failure history as the 2008 FHA housing recession, the Solyndra Bankruptcy and the disaster of the Obama-Care Socialist Health Insurance Tax, respectively. DUH !

People are worried that they have lost their insurance policy, lost their doctors, and can't afford what you are selling....You Harry are not fit to be considered to be a human being and American very well knew what you meant when you advocated cutting of medical care for children.

The punch drunk moron from Nevada is overdue for his room at the Sparks center for the criminally insane.
