BRUCE: Obamacare isn’t a train wreck, it’s a cancer
The Washington Times ^ | 2/6/14 | Tammy Bruce

Posted on 02/07/2014 9:06:46 AM PST by Lakeshark

When a locomotive crashes, it stops. Obamacare, on the other hand, just keeps on going like a cancer that’s ignored, perpetuating itself and destroying everything in its path. While we thought the health care act was a train wreck, it’s more like cancer.

Discovering you’ve got a problem should be the first step on the road to recovery. You’re supposed to go in and confront it like you would if you found a tumor. You wouldn’t just leave it there, wondering what it was up to, hoping it would go away on its own. No, you’d enlist some help and take care of business.

With all the anti-Obamacare rhetoric coming out of Republican leadership, they funded it for another year in the budget agreement. That’s like thinking you can trash-talk your cancer into remission, while smoking three packs a day, and putting off that pesky surgery to remove the tumor until later. Genius.
**snip**
In the normal world, this would be called “fraud.” In Obama’s America, it’s called a “snag,” and on a national scale, the Obama regime labels it “Shut up, Fox News!”
**snip**
So now Americans have Obamacare, a cancer that no one is trying to stop as it keeps replicating itself, metastasizing further into our body.

And like a cancer, it spreads until it kills the host.

It will likely take eight years to unwind the damage.

The entire feral government is a metastatic cancer.

Agreed, but not one democrat will lift a finger to get rid of it, and the R’s are shell shocked into believing it can’t be gotten rid of. More pressure until it’s gone.

No, she does not have it right. Ted Cruz tried to stop it.

This is what needs to be said and repeated

"...Americans have Obamacare, a cancer that no one is trying to stop..."

Insist Obamacare be Repealed in Total! Congress is not listening to We The People...make your voices heard through repeated phone calls, letters, faxes to your elected and letters to the editors. If we don't take action now all the talk about repealing obamacare is just so much rhetoric....Stand and Fight!

ABSOLUTELY!

It is positively immoral and unethical to hand your neighbor the bill for YOUR life style choices.

Would it work if I want a new car that’s more than I can afford… why can’t I go and buy one then tell the car dealer to mail the statement to my neighbor?

There is NO ONE on earth who is or ever ought to be responsible for your choices or lack of judgment.

PERIOD!

I have ALWAYS looked at it this way!

And so is our system of government. Jorge Busho opens borders to the complaints of his constituents. Bill Klinton serves two terms as potus even though he dodged the draft, hates America, etc. Jimmy Carter gives away the Panama Canal, brings career criminals here from cuba, tanks the economy. Now we've got some foreign born america hating commie as potus and he's destroying the country.

And there's nothing we can do about any of the above. Once one of these clowns makes it into the white house, they have carte blanche.

I don’t think you understood the part about smoking three packs a day.

Whatever metaphor is chosen to represent this destructive force, the damage and debris it has already left in its path are too stunning to absorb in such a short time. The impossibility of undoing what it has already done overwhelms anyone wanting to stop it.

"It’s strange, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Mr. Obama and his liberal trolls have managed to get everything wrong, all the time. You actually have to work 24/7 to screw things up this badly."

Unless, of course, it is not a screw up at all. Obamacare is about power and control, not health care. It is working really well at destroying the US healthcare industry, destroying the middle class, and making millions of formerly free citizens dependent on King Obama.

Tammy Bruce puts the Obamacare dilemma in stark, easily understandable terms: it's a cancer on the body politic. The ACA is a Trojan Horse intended to make us slaves to the federal government who can then finish stripping us of our constitutional rights. It must be repealed.

The congressional Republicans are wimps and statists but with enough public pressure, as with the amnesty scam that Boehner has now backed away from, they can be persuaded to do the right thing, even against their own wishes. A threat to one's job security has that effect. The American people need to be making that threat and, in effect, saying enough is enough. If they do not, we are truly finished.
