The ObamaCare Dozen
Wall Street Journal ^ | November 8, 2013 | Editorial

Posted on 11/08/2013 5:27:18 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The Democrats who voted for the debacle are now scrambling for cover.

The torrents of Affordable Care Act monsoon season aren't letting up, so Democrats are scrambling to help the victims: namely, their own careers. The Senators up for re-election in competitive states in 2014 are starting to panic, though they still aren't offering solutions for anything other than their own growing political jeopardy.

Meanwhile, the Salesman in Chief has been exposed for his fraudulent promises.

All of which has the ObamaCare Dozen—the Democrats who each cast the decisive 60th vote and are running for re-election in 2014—fleeing for political cover.

And every one of these weasels voted against the bill that Mike Enzi (R-WY) introduced in the Senate way back in Sept. 2010 that would have grandfathered all plans without Sibelius’s regulations, so that people who wanted to could really keep their plans. Not one Democrat voted for that fix. So let them go down with the ObamaCare Tiitanic next year.

They have marched lockstep with Obama to pass and protect this law from any improvements or modifications. Now they are far into the kill zone where there is no retreat or cover. the aggrieved american voter who has had their health care disrupted or made hugely expensive will be merciless.

My Obamacare song: “Another Prick In Us All”

We don’t need no Obamacare.
We don’t need no government control.
No pills for grandma in the exam room.
Hey! Obama! Leave them docs alone.
All in all it’s just another tax on us all.
All in all you’re just another prick in us all.

I think the Obamacare twelve and many other career politicians from both sides are now coming to grips with what this bill is really all about.

Pass it to see what in it. They bought socialized medicine sight unseen and now this leap of faith has woken even the naïve democrat voters.

They ought to be fleeing from citizens armed with tar and feathers.

Elect these pieces of slime again and they will go right back to voting with Nancy.

Toss them out.

I find it hard to believe that even Democrats could be as incompetent as this roll-out of Obama Care proves them to be. House and Senate Republicans read their plan and repeatedly told the Obama Administration for the last three years it wouldn’t work, and I find it hard to believe none of them bothered to read it and understand it for themselves, so what’s their game?

They’re genuinely surprised, but at what are they surprised? They couldn’t possibly be surprised that the obviously unworkable mechanics of Obama Care and a shoddily thrown together website aren’t working, so what’s going on here?

Could it be that Obama Care was never intended to get this far and was a “Red Herring” all along? As Obama Care was such an obviously unworkable plan, the Democrats knew the Republicans would find a way to prevent it from ever coming to fruition, and the Democrats would be left with the “issue.” Obama could then blame the Republicans for preventing “affordable” medical care for every American citizen and use it to rally his base at election time.

However, as it turned out, they either overestimated the Republican Party, or they saw this disaster coming and just stepped aside and let the Democrat Party shoot themselves in the foot.

They all knew that 0bamaCare would cause mass cancellations of current policies. They were forced to vote on it three years ago and they all voted against changing it.

Enzi speaks with Megyn Kelly on 2010 prediction that Americans would lose health insurance (Youtube video 6:44)

0bama and the Dems all knew what 0bamaCare would do to private ins. plans three years ago.

I went to the Doctor the other day. He said he wanted a stool sample. I asked why?
He said we have to pass it to find out what is in it. . . .
ZERO-DON'TCARE is nothing but a stool sample! ! ! ! ! ! !
