Rep. Sean Duffy SCHOOLS Andrea Mitchell on fairness under Obamacare
http://therightscoop.com/ ^ | October 8, 2013 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 10/08/2013 2:52:44 PM PDT by Whenifhow

OK now this is exactly what I’ve been talking about. Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) not only doesn’t put up with any crap from MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, but schools her on the fact that Obamacare treats big business differently than individuals and families. And he does it well, even throwing Jon Stewart in her face because he asked the questions that they should be asking. He rounds it off at the end telling her “I think the media should start doing it’s job.” BOOM! He even leaves her speechless at one point, but I’m gonna make you watch to see that. It’s awesome:


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Government; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: budget; obamacare; seanduffy; shutdown

I hate the word “fair” unless your talking about a “State Fair” or something like that.

I hate it because when leftist use it they mean equality or results but more than that because in their eyes, their idea of fairness trumps justice. I would rather live in a just society where there mercy and compassion than a tyranny of fairness.

Must be something wrong with me - I saw her throw him under the bus several times. He sounded whiny.

Poster “stage9”, posted a brilliant observation in the comments section at TheRightScoop.

I've got a really STUPID question. If the HOUSE is the chamber that holds the money purse, how can Andrea Mitchell (or ObooHoo for that matter) say that their entitlements, which have YET TO BE FUNDED, are "non-negotiable"?

Don't they have the argument backwards? Isn't the guy with the money the one you should be negotiating with, not the one who needs it?

I mean, I'm not an Economics or Business major; I'm only a guy with an overactive brain, but it would seem to me that if I wanted to finance something and I walk into a bank, I am not in the position to be making DEMANDS.

The bank has the money. I want the money. I am the one that needs to negotiate (convince the bank) to loan me the money.

Obama DEMANDS that the chamber with the purse give HIM the money to finance his projects and then tells them that he will NOT NEGOTIATE!

EXCUSE me, but you're not in a POSITION to negotiate fool. I HAVE THE MONEY; all you have is 10,000 pages of worthless paper.

Now, who's going to negotiate?

Andrea is such a hack telling Duffy “it’s not negotiable” just because obama has dug in his feet like a two year old

Congress is in Obamacare. They just get a subsidy to pay for it - the gold plan, no doubt.

I am really confused about that point. Didn’t Congress go to the executive and get some kind of exemption? What was that for?

This is what I was thinking about (and knew but forgot). The Affordable Care Act as written and signed by Obama had a provision that would have cost Congress and the staffers up to $10,000 per year. When that sunk in they went to Obama and said - jist between us guys, let’s just forget that little part of the bill.

You’re not kidding.

I would have gone one better. I would have asked Mrs. Greenspan on whose authority does the Government appropriate 1/7th of the economy? Under whose authority is ObaMaoCare Constitutional? (IOW the Supreme Court ruling is unconstitutional).

I’ve been seeing more and more of the conservatives in the House really holding their own against a hostile media. Blitzer, Crowley, Cooper, Sharpton..ect. They’re actually fighting back and looking more and more reasonable and fact filled than the media buggers interviewing them.

We may be witnessing a major shift in the GOP

I would like to see at least a dozen of these media persons go onto the website & find out the calculation for their OWN Obamacare costs.

Maybe some of them would wake up.

Congress is in Obamacare except that it gets the Federal gov’t to pay 72% of the premiums for the top of the line no deductibles plan.

Duffy needs to pick a side & stick w/ it.

Pick a side dude

“You can’t talk to the American people, you can’t talk to our bases on this strategy, and then completely roll over. Thank God he wasn’t there fighting at the Alamo!” Duffy said.

He tied her up in knots, but that shouldn’t be tough to do to anyone trying to defend the Obamacare individual mandate penalty tax.
