Yesterday marked the six-month anniversary since the passage of the Democrats' healthcare reform package and just over six months since Nancy Pelosi pronounced to a leery public that "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
Hearing those remarks from Pelosi conjures up memories of the scene from the movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" in which the title character Clark W. Griswald goes to pick up the new car that he has bought to take his family on a cross-country vacation. When Griswald arrives at the dealership, rather than getting the sports wagon that he ordered he is instead presented with a green and faux wood station wagon known as the 'Wagon Queen Family Truckster.' Using his best sales pitch skills, the car salesman tells Griswald about the Truckster, "You think you hate it now, wait 'til you drive it."
The salesman was of course trying to convince Griswald that he would like the Family Truckster once he actually drove it. As the movie portrays though, the Truckster turns out to be every bit the lemon that it looked like on the lot. That pretty much sums up the story of the general public's reaction to the Democrats' healthcare reform bill. The Democrats tried to convince the American public that they would love their healthcare reforms once the bill was passed, but clearly the opposite has happened - to the point that a full 60% of the public now wants to see the bill repealed completely. The bill is so bad that the only Democrats even campaigning on the healthcare reform bill are those who opposed it, and they are proclaiming with pride in their ads the fact that they did indeed oppose it.

Faulty analogy. I dont recall the truckster being a lemon in the movie. Considering all the punishment it took from Clark and his driving (the 50 yard leap), it still got them to their destination.
For most of my life I have been hearing people say, “The government should just make sure everybody has health care.”
More proof of the old saying, “Be careful what you ask for, you may get it.”
It’s time to admit that the ONLY people approve of the Obamacare plan are the people who are SO f&^%$#g lazy, pathologically ignorant, naturally indigent and over-indulged that they would not work and buy their OWN policy even if the could! And of course, Obamacare is manna from heaven for all the greedy, unprincipled and scheming politicians who think of this legislation going to ‘make’ their careers or win votes for them.
It traps honest and hard-working Americans right in between ungrateful, lazy, demanding thieves (the new ‘favored’ class in this country) on the one hand, and unscrupulous political whores on the other.
Nothing new here… except that NOW, the MSM with the help of the NEA has validated this system of corruption by assuring the thieves and whores that they ARE justified in their demands and actions.
Decades of apathetic and confused voters gave them the edge they needed. For the rest of us, who were taught to work and pay our OWN way… it will be uphill from here and by no means, a guaranteed success!!
Been there, done that
HONKY LIPS!
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE CELEBRATED!
Do we celebrate the first execution at Auschwitz?
Do we celebrate the first legal abortion that happened after Roe vs. Wade?
Do we celebrate the first trade between the African slave traders and the European slave traders?
No. Those who brought us Obamacare should be ashamed and keep it as quiet as they possibly can.
