His name is NOT Mark Beard and he is NOT a retired psychologist. He apparently hated Obamacare in January and the White House edited his letter.
Obviously.
The guy outed by Ace of Spades is Mark D Bearden and I’m not sure what he does for a living, but he supposedly (according to his FB page) was contacted by zero and is a republican who is now thrilled with obamacare because he supposedly has cancer (although never mentions it on his wall) and is only paying $64 a month for fabulous insurance. Here’s more info from the Ace site just based on the article::
“Dead giveaway #1 that the writer isn’t a conservative: He refers to Obama as “the President.” That’s not how those who oppose Obama would refer to him in this context. They would say “I didn’t vote for Obama.” “I didn’t vote for President Obama.” “I didn’t vote for this president.” or something on that order.
Dead giveaway #2: They would also note that they didn’t vote for him TWICE. To further establish their credentials. “I didn’t vote for him EITHER TIME.” “I didn’t vote for him “in 2008 or 2012.” or something like that.
Dead giveaway #3: He capitalizes “President” despite the fact that, grammatically speaking, it is incorrect to do so in this context. You wouldn’t write “the doctor,” but you would write “Doctor Jones.” Only someone being overly reverential to Obama would make such an error.
Dead giveaway #4: He shills for ObamaCare. He could have stopped with: “Hey, I’m a conservative, but this law helped me.” He wouldn’t further go on to extol the virtue of a law which any conservative would hate - even if it helped him. He MIGHT say something along the lines of “Yeah. I didn’t like the law either, but you should check it out. Maybe it will help in your particular circumstance even though I understand that it hurts the majority of Americans.” His praise of the law would be fully caveated in order to fit it into an actual conservative worldview.
In short, this thing is so much bullish#t that I can actually smell it from here.”
