Ebola is 2014 October surprise
The Hill ^ | 10/15/14 | Elise Viebeck

Posted on 10/15/2014 8:17:26 AM PDT by MeshugeMikey

Ebola has become the October surprise of this year’s midterm elections, with Democrats and Republicans doing battle over everything from restrictions on travel to the disposal of a victim’s remains.

The U.S. public is increasingly fearful of the virus following three cases in Texas and news that the fatality rate for infected patients has hit 70 percent in West Africa.

The U.S. public is increasingly fearful of the virus ...

Obama's MSM Amen Corner ain't feeling too hot about it either, although they're not yet ready to say so.

It’s hard to call this a good October surprise for the Democrats and Obama.

Obama’s summer “African Nations Leaders Council” held during the summer mapped this baby out. Africa had a gift for the community organizer. Now it's his to “Manage” for whatever outcome he can dream up in his evil little Alynski-Mao-Stalin-ish head. He might even build ovens and quarantine camps.

Ebola and explosive diarrhea will trump anything the left will try to throw at us.

And it is all coming from the hands of Barack Hussein Obama.

Look for the GOP to take over the Senate.

This “October suprise” will sweep a lot of Dems OUT.

My Ebola

Oh my little viral one, viral one
When you gonna give me some fine Ebola
When you make my bowels run, my bowels run
Gun it, coming over in a plane Ebola

Never gonna stop, give it up
Such a dirty bug, always throwing up
For the touch of the infected kind
My my my i yi woo
My my my my Ebola

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh,
Close enough to bloody my eyes Ebola
Getting it a mystery to the CDC
Running down the length of my spine Ebola

When you gonna get to me
Get to me
Is it just a matter of time Ebola
Is it just destiny, destiny
Or is it just a game in my mind Ebola

Today is 25 days since Duncan arrived from Africa (Sept. 20).

I can’t find the date that he first visited the hospital, but he was symptomatic then.

He was diagnosed with Ebola admitted on Sept. 28. Presumably, a few days after his first visit, where they turned him away.

If none of the people he came in contact while symptomatic have contracted Ebola by now, why isn’t the CDC trumpeting this good news, 21 or more days later?

Exactly. Even democrats are starting to worry about Ebola.

Lets not forget the Enterovirus which the CDC is saying will probably reach 100 cases per week soon. We’ve even got some schools in Michigan considering shutting down because so many parents are keeping their kids at home.

Who cares about jobs or the economy when sending your kid to school can kill him or her, going to the bathroom at work means possible death, or even turning a door knob can kill you?

We need government! We need more government! We need federal healthcare! Ebola will bankrupt every health insurance company out there. Ebola will destroy every hospital in the nation both in terms of facilities and in skilled medical providers.

The future in America involves Haz-Mat suits and furnaces. Good thing we've got such an abundant natural gas supply from fracking. We'll need it to torch all the corpses(not corpse men).

Every time that buffoon from CDC holds a presser, more sheeple awaken from their ObaMao stupor.

I wonder if the far left is hoping Ebola will help them:

“Trust FedGov - they know what to do about the Ebola they already let in through our airports and about the Ebola they are letting in through the Mexican border. Big government is the answer to all questions.”

in yesterday’s press conference they said that the most critical period has passed for Duncan’s family, that the first 14 days after exposure is when the majority of infections are detected. October 19 is the date that will mark the passage of 21 days since their exposure.

This is the “October surprise” that the DEMS DID NOT WANT.
