Taxdollars Funding Obamacare Commercial
TalkingSides.com ^ | 07/30/10 | CaroleL

Posted on 07/30/2010 8:55:12 PM PDT by CaroleL

Yes, Medicare is quickly running out of money and Obamacare is causing drastic cuts, but evidently there's enough cash to hire celebrity spokesman Andy Griffith and produce a new television ad aimed at bamboozling seniors into thinking "good things are coming."

What does Obastard care? It’s not his money he is spending. It money from the evil people who work for a living and dare to earn more than a pittance.

Andy better not show his face in Mayberry or he might get his a** beaten.

A rather satisfying thought I must say. :-)

That A-hole actually believes it’s government money as he see’s everybody as subjects to the masters of government. He hasn’t a clue about our Republic, or who the bosses really are per our Constitution.

I believe the crap about him being a Constitutional scholar is just that. Crap. I don’t think he knows excrement about it.

I despise that son of a bitch, and hope he gets one “H” of a toothache just prior to jockeying his teleprompter.

If he is then he is senile. If isn't he is part of the problem. I will cut him no slack either way.

Sad to hear this, from the same guy who played “Lonesome Rhodes” in the great Kazan film “A Face in the Crowd”.
Lonesome being a sort of Clintonesque con artist catapulted into politics. He learned nothing from the film I guess.

Last year, or was it 2008?, someone pointed out that Griffith and Howard were Moonbats to me. It was like someone told me Opie did crack and Andy ran the mules. Destroyed some of my better childhood memories on the spot.

That said, it’s a tough road to hoe when you walk through the corridors of what are considered really good nursing homes and hospice centers. People in wheelchairs, zombied out with ‘medications’ to keep them quiet, nursing ‘staff’ at their stations, and precious few relatives in and out to see their own relatives. I’ve become convinced that we care for the young and old as items in warehouses. Day ‘Care’ and Elder ‘Care’ often function in direct opposition to what ‘care’ actually means as a word. Being careful or caring is just an exercise in vocabulary in such cases.

Perhaps they’ll euthanize him on air to give seniors a real clue about how 0nazicare will cut costs.

At least we have the satisfaction of knowing that, at his age, Andy will be among the first to be denied life-saving care under Medicare’s new Rationer in Chief.

Andy Griffith's new role: pitching health care law

Friday, July 30, 2010 3:09:01 PM · 73 of 79
Gene Eric to ...

>> Obama’s health care law to seniors in a cable television ad paid for by Medicare.

What about equal time for opposing views? We’re talking about tax dollars, right?

It is hard to compete with a party that gives away the treasury; the greed of the voters is what is driving the Obama cult.

Andy Griffith, tool of Barack Hussein Obama.

Andy Griffith, old millionaire who wants the elderly to be subject to the whims and dictates of Barack Hussein Obama.

Here in Montana they are running radio ads about the dangers of second hand smoke.
At the end of each ad it states that the ad was paid for with funds from the Stimulus Act.
I experienced a jaw dropping moment of stunned amazement the first time I heard it!
When they write the rules / laws then they can change them to fit their agenda!

“I will cut him no slack either way.”

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I knew he was a Democrat, and that’s fine as long as he’s not bothering anyone. But now it’s as if he’s prostituting such endearing characters as Andy Taylor and Ben Matlock. He worked hard and did such a good job developing these roles. Too bad he couldn’t leave well enough alone.

I guess he’ll find out soon enough. This commercial really makes him sound like a dumb cluck.

Image and video hosting by TinyPicAndy Griffith is a multi-millionaire who lives on a 63 acre estate on Roanoke Island, North Carolina...he will not be forced to use Hussein's miserable DeathCare Plan, because Andy Griffith is one of the elites, despite his "home spun" image.
