Some of us for well over a decade have been saying that the RAT's PC bs can kill us. Here is a really prime example of how PC can kill.

If we do things that unintentionally make it harder to get that response in, to get supplies in, it will become much harder to stop the outbreak at the source, CDC Director Tom Frieden said this week. "Stopping the outbreak at the source" might have been a good idea back in April.
Tom needs to check the calendar...

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that U.S. officials should instead focus their efforts on enhanced health screenings, both overseas and in domestic airports, and cement the healthcare protocols designed to eliminate the spread of the disease in the United States.
Because it’s so easy to do a comprehensive health screening in an airport and we have such an abundance of Ebola tests that come back positive or negative in 5 minutes....NOT.

Sheila Jackson Lee is the voice I want to rely on for any ebola controls. The democratic communists excuse is beyond lame. We don’t have to ban flights bringing in medical supplies to Africa.

Push this in the form of a formal law raised in the House, it will pass and go on to the Senate. Dingy Harry holds it up then he`s the main culprit for the Senate rats but ALL who vote against it in the House can then be labeled for what they are, anti-American, PC zealots, who care more about West Africa than American lives. It`s a simple enough message that will even resonate with the sheeple.

This is a lose - lose position for the Democrats.
They can let Obama take the heat for not closing the borders while demanding something be done (while not doing anything).
But by moving out front claiming there is no reason to restrict travel into this country gains them nothing, and has the potential of hurting them (and us).
I don’t know that it is lose-lose. I am seeing a lot of people commenting on websites and Twitter that people are overreacting and that there is such a small chance they’ll get Ebola that they aren’t worried.
Of course, they’re the low information voters that just want their free stuff, I’m sure, but if they aren’t scared, it’s not hurting the Dems, I don’t think. People are idiots.

It’s not like a travel ban from ebola countries is polling at about 67%, or there is an election coming up or anything. If this is the Dems October Surprise, they’re doing it wrong.
To: leapfrog0202
They are repeating the party line.
The lose lose is because it will not win them any votes that they did not already have, and if they are wrong, well it will get ugly.

Please oh please Democrats-— pile on to this position. Maybe take out full page ads making it clear that the Democrats as a party are against any travel ban that could discrminate against Ebola. Ebola has rights too!
To: maggief
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that U.S. officials should instead focus their efforts on enhanced health screenings She may have trouble keeping in mind "no travel from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone", but most people can handle that just fine and simultaneously devote their efforts to other worthwhile tasks, including enhanced screenings.

“House Democrats are pushing back hard against proposals to institute a travel ban in the fight against the Ebola virus.”
This is good. The rat/fascist/commie party could be destroyed.

Sheila J. Lee is just afraid the astronauts on Mars
won’t get a chance to get Obola like the rest of us.

The Cabinet meeting started later than planned because it took time for everyone to introduce themselves to each other.
First time many of them have ever been in the same room.

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) piled on, characterizing a travel ban as an ill-advised "quick fix" that "will only exacerbate the epidemic in the region." "The region" should be of no consequence.
