- Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) compared those who oppose Obamacare to the South in the Civil War saying, “This is Gettysburg, this is the big battle and after this the Civil War was pretty much down hill for the South. That’s really what’s happening here for the forces against Obamacare.”

McDermott appeared on C-Span’s Washington Journal on Wednesday. The host asked if President Obama would compromise spending in other government departments in order to continue funding the implementation of Obamacare.

Uhm, this is about representative Jim McDermott, the dimwit from Washington state, not Jim DeMint.

This pustule of subcutaneous cystitis is why we must vote almost all incumbents out of office and only elect men and women of high morals and character.

I agree, Gettysburg has a very good parallel to Obamacare. A reckless headlong rush to certain doom, Pickett’s Charge.

Thanks Ernest. Wow, he doesn’t know US history worth a damn.

Dear Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.),

This is not even the First Battle of Bull Run, yet.
I figure we have a “John Brown at Harper’s Ferry”, and then, “Fort Sumter”, yet to begin.
