John Kasich to ObamaCare critics: Do I need to buy Bibles for you people to remind you to care [tr]

I like Alex Burns’s summary of this clip: “Kasich basically defends Medicaid expansion the way an Aaron Sorkin character would.” Precisely, and he’s been doing it for more than two years despite endless conservative upset at him for equating state-backed entitlements with Christian charity. His first, most famous musing on this point came in June 2013 when he replied to right-wing critics of expanding Medicaid:

[RinaseaofDs]

Good frickin’ bye.

[Ray76]

If you cared you wouldn’t make things so expensive, which is what government programs do. They always have and always will.

[Menehune56]

Maybe this will be simple enough for even Governor Kasich to understand: it's not charity when the government confiscates money to distribute to other people.

[WayneS]

Where in the Bible did Jesus tell us to turn the personal responsibility of caring for others over to the Romans?

[RatRipper]

Man, Kasich has really has gone over to the dark side.

It is because we care so much that we adamantly oppose a government controlled health care system.

[PATRIOT1876]

* You just know he has a house full of combs and mirrors. *

Kasich is the ginchiest among Socialists and Atheists, I suppose.

“Kasich , Kasich , lend me your comb. Kasich , Kasich?

Well now, let's take it from the top & grab some taxpayer money
& on the way we'll talk about some backroom deals.

But Kasich , Kasich , lend me your comb. Kasich , Kasich ?

Now you're on the way, miss, & I'm readin’ you just fine.
But crazy old Pelosi didn’t read a line.

But Kasich ?

I've got smog in my noggin ever since you made the scene

You're the dullest!

If you ever tool me out...dead, I'm the saddest, like a brain

The very dullest. Kasich , lend me your comb. Kasich, Kasich?”

[PGalt]

LIED TO, COERCED, TRICKED, FORCED, PLUNDERED, MADE DEBT SLAVES BY THE STATE? WHAT do YOU care about, Kasich?

YOU did help build this…

YOUR assets should be confiscated, _ _ _ hole.

[SaveFerris]

What a tool this idiot is.

[JohnBrowdie]

hijacking people’s health care and dumbing it down to the lowest common denominator (mostly because you hate the fact that some people have “better” health care than others, see: cadillac tax) is not Godliness.

[PATRIOT1876]

Maybe Kasich should ask Bernie if he wants him for a VP.

Besides needing to read the Bible to find out what's in It, Kasich should study some High School history to find out that most Communist countries are against God...

[SoFloFreeper]

John Kasich, the Bible never demanded we send monies to Caesar to care for the poor. Never.

[PGR88]

So this @$$hole is happy my family is now paying $6000 more per year, for worse coverage? All in the name of “compassion?”

[pieceofthepuzzle]

How do you define neighbor, John? I live in the same country as you. Can I come and live in your house, neighbor? If I'm not your neighbor, than why is someone from another country who comes across our borders illegally our ‘neighbor’? What exactly are you trying to say? You and your fellow privileged holders of public office have turned a blind eye on lots and lots of pain and suffering in the world. A ton. Why you feel you are now in a position to lecture the rest of us about charity and good will is beyond me. You may be a very well-intentioned, good-hearted, loving person. I'll give you that designation gratis. That said, you do not have the right to judge others whose lives will always be affected more definitively than yours by the actions you take.

[SaveFerris]

He’s a Jeb Bush of another stripe - there has to be money in it somewhere - nobody is this blindingly stupid unless they’re a prostitute for cash.

[JustaCowgirl]

That man gets on my last nerve. He would be a good running mate for Joe Biden, they’re both totally smarmy and stupid, but think they’re the smartest and most virtuous people on earth.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Sanders/ Kasich 2016

rofl! NO!

[ilgipper]

Man, he sure has turned into a jackass. I hate seeing formerly competent people turn into fools.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Just kidding around : )

[SERE_DOC]

Yea, like taking theological direction from a politician is always on my to do list.

[Qiviut]

Kasich needs to open HIS Bible to Exodus 20:15 ... Thou shalt not steal.

Obamacare is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The high premiums & deductibles are wrecking family finances. Medicaid expansion is bankrupting states. This is NOT caring & compassion. Kasich needs to get off the national stage and go home. He will never have my vote (his ‘green’ initiatives are destructive & wasteful as well - scams to redistribute the wealth).
