Krauthammer On Dems & Obamacare: "I Can't Believe It's A Coordinated Campaign, It's Too Insane"
RCP video / FNC Special Report ^ | 12/5/2013

Posted on 12/08/2013 12:29:31 PM PST by Republican Wildcat

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Look, as for Harry Reid, I can't believe it's a coordinated campaign. It's too insane. I think it's Harry Reid wearing, trying on a tin hat. And I would just say, Harry, give it up. You can argue all you want but the sunrises in the west, it's not going to work. And you get this sort of speaking against the wind on things that, as Kirsten says, are empirically untrue. People are receiving cancellations. They know they lost their insurance. There is no way to talk around it.

The other thing that the Obama administration, the White House, is pushing is the success of the exchanges because they got 30,000 people supposedly enrolled. let's assume it's enrolled. They aren't enrolled.

BRET BAIER: There's nobody that really paid their premium.

KRAUTHAMMER: Exactly. Shopping and semi-enrolled -- aspirationally enrolled, let's put it that way -- in two days. Well, if you do the math on that and you continue that enrollment up until the deadline of the 23rd of December, you come out with a number, which means that of the 5 million people who have lost insurance, 6% will have it restored. All the rest will not have it. And that's without adding a single person who never had insurance in the first place. It is a disaster with the numbers that the White House is touting.

Having been quite close to tax-like-mad Mondale, the Kraut should know.

Gotta get people really worried and scared about their disappearicided health insurance, to get them to vote Democrat.

Like the MSM-Rats will tell you in unison, only the Democratic Party has the kind of deepthinkers who can pull you out of the ditch we put you in.

[Side issue: The e-GOP don't give a flip, as long as their clients get to vaporize their employee healthcare plans and flow Niagaras of cash to their bottom lines.]

I think Intrade ought to start taking bets on when the Dems are going to run up the white flag and vote to repeal Ovaporcare.

This thing will only do more and more damage to their party, the longer they tarry.

IIRC, it was 5 million policies cancelled, but a policy can cover multiple people, so the number could--and probably is--much higher.

Don't expect that to happen until people start getting their IRS penalties for "not having insurance," when it was Obamacare who blew them out of the insurance they had; that and needing to see a doctor or trying to get treated for some emergency and can't because they have no "proof of insurance,"; all the while getting slammed by the IRS for not obeying Obama's rules!

Then, maybe then, when cold temperatures really settle in, electricity prices go through the roofs because there are no coal-fired plants to generate them and videos of Obama claiming, "people are going to have to understand they just can't keep their homes as warm or cool as they want……"

Then, maybe we can drag people away from their reality tv shows, away from their shopping and away from whatever else it is these useful idiots spend their time doing, maybe they just might have enough and grab a pitch fork and go for those responsible for this Socialist mess!

As he indicates, that is the number the administration is pushing of people supposedly enrolled that they claim is a huge success.

BC/BS of Illinois is breaking the law upheld by our SC by letting people keep their illegal policies for one more year.

How’s that for following the law?

I can’t believe it’s a coordinated campaign. It’s too insane.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Looks like Krauthammer has not read enough about the German Democratic Socialist Party ( later called the NAZI party.)They conducted any number of insane campaigns.

We need the damage to be generational. We can’t flub this fumble. We need to score goal after goal after goal.

It does not get much more crazy than this. Orwell must be chuckling to himself.
