I like this kind of Democrat because he shows that they literally can’t think straight when trying to understand others who don’t think like them.

If he actually believes this, then he thinks

1. The American people all agree that people shouldn’t be bankrupted by medical care costs.

2. Obamacare provides that protection and it’s working.

3. Republicans decided to pick that one piece of popular and effective legislation to name after Obama because they figured that it would make him look bad.

They’re trying to do it as long as they get rid of healthcare for the American people,” McDermott

Yes, Monseigneur Hyperbole, Republicans want to "get rid of healthcare for the American people."

Yeah, it’s all symbolic. If They could just convince people how awesome the substance of OCare really is. Hey where’s that Gruber fella?

Becase its Christmas coming up and I am a nice guy I have a free present for Mr McDermott.
No one has to destroy Barack Obama. He has done that job all by himself with being the most inept, incompetent, ignorant and unconstitutional President in history..

Hopefully anyone with real sense will continue calling it Obamacare. NEVER use the ACA.

This argument only applies if Obamacare turns out to have been a disaster. If Obamacare had turned out to be a spectacular success, people would have been falling over themselves to attach their names to it. So, McDermott, your argument only applies if it is a failure. Which seems to be the case. Advantage Republicans.

McDermott, can you provide ONE example of someone

previously insured
that has better coverage today due to Obamacare?

“Better”: lower premiums, lower deductibles, more doctor choice, more facility choice.

“They’ve been trying to discredit it. Tear it apart. Tear it down, repeal it. Whatever you want to do. They’re trying to do it as long as they get rid of healthcare for the American people,” McDermott told MSNBC

Sure Jim, the America people overwhelmingly voted Republicans into power the past election so that Republicans can get rid of healthcare for the people. Do you even realize how stupid you sound?

“But the real facts are, it’s working, and the American people know it."

Right, McDermott! Tell us again how many House & Senate seats the Democrats gained in the mid-terms last month by reminding the American people how much they truly love Obamacare since it's working so well!

Oh, wait ...

When they shoved this bill through and shoved it down their throats, democraps gleefully called this Obamacare. Now that it turns out that the GOP was right and its a total POS, they want to make excuses.

“When a small group of folks in Congress shuts down our government to try to shut down Obamacare, and we watch as our President stands strong, that’s not just some political fight in Washington — it is a battle about our most fundamental values and aspirations,”

- First Lady told the audience at the Women’s Leadership Forum Conference in Washington, D.C.

Not only were we right at the time we were telling them how bad it was,

they called us names for opposing it - vile epithets that would have merited a punch in the nose if done in person.
