Democratic Coup d'etat

First, the Obamacrat coup leaders passed a bill they know good and well (unless they're thoroughly unhinged) to be pie in the sky: unaffordable without future tax increases and service cuts. Nor, as is generally agreed, does the bill do anything to restrain medical costs, which will grow inexorably as more clamor to receive more and more. How are we going to be able even to fund Medicare without substantial cutbacks and tax hikes, given general health care's new demand on resources?

The coup leaders' second offense -- committed with the encouragement of their president -- has been all along, frankly, to lie about what they were up to, and not just concerning costs. Insurance premiums won't fall; they'll shoot skyward to cover the government's new stipulations. That's merely one example of the coup leaders' deceit, their basic rhetorical dishonesty. From the Obamacare fight -- there's been no actual "debate" -- we get moral corruption of unprecedented size.

In some sense, the worst of the matter is the battle royal that the coup precipitates. It's inevitable, with polls indicating massive opposition to Obamacare. Speaking of care, the Democrats didn't. The policy on which they settled was to muscle the thing through without reference to the desires of poor dumb Americans, relatively few of whom could have foreseen this outcome when their new "postpartisan" president took office.

Well, if you cut off the aid to the REAL Americans, they die off early and after a while no one remembers their American dream.

Here’s the biggest lie. ‘Everyone will get good care’. The truth is that everyone will get minimal care. Americans are spoiled. The other countries, where Medical care is Socialized, the people don’t go to the Dr often. No preventative care. Stoicism abounds. Americans are used to going to the Dr at the drop of the hat. What a rude awakening awaits these naive citizens.

While America shrugs. Almost 50 % of us thinks this is just swell . Man am i in the wrong game . This is like the carney's blowin through cabbage falls in the 20’s . I can't blame the left , for them it is shooting fish in a barrel . Remember 53 % of us voted for this lot .

Nailed it.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Coup d'etat? The military has sworn to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

America is not asleep. We have unhinged fanatics at the wheel and they need to be pushed out.

Geez - if republicans realy want to start a revolution they will oppose the Doctor fix and MAKE THE DEMOCRATS lower medicare payments. This will take thousands of cdoctors out that business by Nov and ahve newspapers screaming about the gandma that can’t find a doctor. But the weak republicans will fold because doctors, WHO DID NOT PUT UP A FIGHT OVER OBAMACARE, are begging for help. let them eat cake!!
