Tax dollars used to endorse ObamaCare

A California attorney is pointing out that the federal government is using the tax dollars of millions of Americans to encourage votes for Democratic candidates this election season.

Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), reports that a recent political ad -- one in which well-known actor Andy Griffith commends the healthcare bill -- is being paid for with tax dollars. According to the attorney, the commercial that encourages voters to support and protect ObamaCare is actually an attack on conservative candidates who are seeking to overturn the controversial bill.

"It is targeting the elderly, it's using the tool of fear and it's doing it at a time [and] in a way that's addressing the hottest political hot potato on the ballot, which is the new healthcare law," he contends.

Dacus argues that the Obama administration's game plan is to have more people rely on the government so Democrats will win more elections and so the president will win re-election in 2012.

"The more people who are dependent upon the government with the health insurance and the handouts and different other programs, the more they are likely to vote for Democrats because Democrats are more likely to continue those spending programs," the PJI president explains.

Using the senile Griffith to promote the evil Obamacare is so disgusting that it will cost the DemoncRATs millions of votes.

Andy's caretakers need to sedate him. The commercial made with Andy and Opie donning their old costumes for Obamacare was repulsive enough. They showed their true 'progressive' colors!

tax dollars of millions of Americans to encourage votes for Democratic candidates...

Isn't this somewhat limited to only $787 Billion?

""The more people who are dependent upon the government ... the more likely ... Democrats are to continue those spending programs," the PJI president explains.

--------------------------

Obamacare continues the scheme of taking money from those who pay for insurance and funneling a lot of it to lawmakers and their families. Lots and lots of money funneling will flow to politicians and their buddies (those lucky enough to have politically protected CAT/MRI scanning centers) through inflated reimbursements.

Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.

The Republicans did not make this coming election on Tuesday a referendum on Obamacare and people like Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and others in the Cocktail Party crowd have said they not only don’t want to defund and repeal Obamacare, but that they are going to bully the newly-elected conservative, Tea Party-backed GOP Congressmen and Senators so that it stays business as usual in the go-along-to-get-along ranks with all these lily-livered sissies who are terrified of rocking the boat and going to all-out-war with the Left.

Hiring and firing occurs at the polling places. Forget the polls, forget the media spin. Go to the ballot box and put an end to the Dem Party on November 2, 2010.

Vote to put the federal beast back into its cage. Are you ready?

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

There's an ad playing on the radio where I live. It seems, at first, to be an ad for an organization that's somehow connected to Medicare/Medicade; their purpose is to "help" citizens fight Medicaid fraud. Within the ad, though, is a line to the effect that "new rules enacted under National Health Insurance make it easier to root out fraud." At the end, it says "this message paid for by the Department of Health and Human Services."

I'm probably not getting the wording exactly right, but I've heard it twice in the last two weeks, when it has been played during the Rush Limbaugh show.

He has always been a popular person in North Carolina. After he did these commercials, they did a poll and his poplularity has tanked. I can’t remember the exact numbers, but it was shocking when I read it.

[republicangel]

They keep playing it on Fox News, too.

[LADY J]

The taxpayers are picking up the tab for Michelle & Bozo flying around on Air Force 1 & 2 campaigning for the RATS. That’s costing millions more than this ad!!

[Qwackertoo]

I hate that commercial. Use to, IF nothing was on, I might flip the channel to an old Andy re-run but never again. And the commercial he and dopey Opie did together for the ‘08 election was equally disgusting.

[IbJensen]

I’m through with Sheriff Andy, Dopey Opie and Deputy Fife as well.

After years of watching the original telecasts and the decades of reruns, I find out the’re left wing loonies shilling for Obozo.

PPP: Even Griffith's numbers down, September, 2010

Our latest North Carolina poll found Griffith at 44/22 in the state for a net favorability of +22. That represents a 25 point decline from June of 2008 when Griffith was at a net +47 (56/9.)

[Wooly]

Damn, I missed Matlock again!

[republicangel]

Thanks, I knew our local paper had cited it, but couldn’t remember what poll it was.

I remember reading that the GOP will not let this issue die.

I hope to God someone any day now says Obama is not above the law and that he can’t get away with anything he wants in his reckless presidency.

[pghoilman]

Along with endless AARP ads.

Exactly how Democrats have kept slavery alive all these years.

Thier constituents have rarely known the freedom of self determination, and when they do, they leave the plantation.
