Obamacare Schadenfreudarama (strangely similar to another article..)
National Review Online ^ | 11-14-13 | Jonah Goldberg (or…)

Posted on 11/14/2013 5:32:03 AM PST by C. Edmund Wright

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, you’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at the unraveling of Obamacare.

First, the obligatory caveats. It is no laughing matter that millions of Americans’ lives have been thrown into anxious chaos as they lose their health insurance, their doctors, their money, or all three. Nor is it particularly amusing to think of the incredible waste of time and tax dollars that has gone into Obamacare’s construction. And the still-unfolding violence that this misbegotten legislation will visit on the economy and our liberties is not funny either. This very magazine has been downright funereal about the brazen and unconstitutional seizure of one-sixth of the economy, and rightly so.

Obama Care Schaden-FRAUD

No, Mr. President, we are not. We are, however, having a delicious moment of schaden-fraud. This is the magnificent validation we are experiencing as all elected Democrats and members of the Jurassic media are fast discovering that the man and the plan they have so arrogantly shoved down our throats - and so naively placed their hopes in -- are simultaneously being exposed as shams.

And sham-wow, is it ever cathartic, as we have been called racists, terrorists, hostage-takers, kooks, haters, and stupid for years -- all because we deigned to be correct about the biggest legislative boondoggle in American history. Of course, only a few of the Kool-Aid drinkers are admitting this...yet...but we can sense that many of them are panicking on the realization that they might one day have to.

We told you so! I think the technical term is ROTFLMAO.

Sounds good to me; at least its getting the word out there. Heck, I even will like Ann Coulter for the next at least 24 hrs as her column speaks loudly today.

Of course, C. Edmund and Jonah I like ALL THE TIME.

Keep up the good work.

Larry Kudlow this morning on talk radio said, “why help ‘save’ Obamacare? “Give Democrats enough rope to hang themselves.”

What happened to the strategy two weeks ago of the Republicans stepping aside to let Obamacare fail?

Rush has been talking daily about how the Rinos and the rest of the spineless GOP are pissing in their pants worrying about being seen as bad. The difference this time though is if the GOP helps save Obamacare the primary anger will be shown against those Republicans running in 2014 coming from conservative voters.

THIS is the topic of the DAY. What is the best strategy and tactics to REPEAL 0bamacare with a democRAT senate and a vet0 pen in the WH? Does the Upton bill 'save' 0bamacare or is it a an interim step on the path to REPEAL?

At NRO ('It's Not A Trap'), a Jeffrey Anderson, exec director of newly formed 2017 Project (Bill Kristol Board Chair), makes a case that the Upton bill in the House could be a part of the overall REPEAL strategy.

I'm not sure yet. Bill Kristol smacks of the gOpE. I'm still thinking and pondering. And yes, I think the standard gOp default strategy is 'pissing their pants' ...

I've had a few of my one-line zingers stolen by Ann C before.

I don't mind "lending" at all. It's all for the cause.

Glenn Beck this morning is saying what the slime media won’t.

Beck is calling McCain a dirt bag, weasel, now claiming that this is HIS idea alone to repeal Obamacare.

I have more words for that scumbag McShame, but they are not allowed here.. Call me a proud Waco Bird.

New Call for ‘Total Repeal’ of Obamacare From Unexpected Senator

Nov. 13, 2013 10:12pm Jason Howerton

After repeatedly bashing senators like Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) over their crusade to defund Obamacare, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called for the “total repeal” of the Affordable Care Act on Wednesday. It’s a quick turnaround after the longtime senator, in September, proclaimed that it was “not rational” to think Obamacare could be defunded or repealed.

It’s a nice feeling when you post a comment on a website, and a few days later you see your comment has become part of somebody else’s article. I like that.

Yea, saw that and wondered what alternative universe that McQueeg lives in. Just because he's senile and has CRS* disease, doesn't mean we don't remember his previous crap.

John McCain Rips Ted Cruz on Senate Floor, Says the ‘People Spoke’ on Obamacare ['settled law' eh McQueeg?]

McQueeg, you loser ... just 'go away'! And bring that daughter of yours with you!

Favorite line:

The president may now claim that he knew nothing, but he must have wondered why Henry Chao, Healthcare.gov’s chief project manager, set the bar of success at sea level last March: “Let’s just make sure it’s not a Third World experience.” At this point, it could only be more of a Third World experience if Healthcare.gov required enrollees to pay with chickens.

Edmund you wrote a great article a couple of weeks ago, and indeed it was ROTFLMAO worthy.

But with Jonah hitting every cliché known to mankind, I was rolling out the door as well.

Thanks for posting!
