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.

In a wet environment full of feces..... at least 82 days

Thanks, I think.... Maybe we can take comfort in the dilution factor. Oh who am I kidding?

Americans are dying of disease and pestilence brought across our borders. This is more of a nightmare than an October Surprise. It simply highlights Obama’s disregard for Americans and his ineptness.

Here is what I have found on the CDC website:

It says special caskets are to be used.

We need to quit calling it the Ebola epidemic or the HN whatever the hell it is killing kids all over America, and start calling with EVERY thread, political speech and news article “The Democrats Biological Warfare on America”. Please help.

You are crrect. PLEASE copy and paste my prior reply and insert on any Ebola, HNwhatever thread. Maybe this COULD be a tipping point that makes it into the news.

Why do I get the feeling that Wendy Davis is about to come out with a commercial saying Ebola is Gregg Abbott’s fault?

Think of all the possibly contaminated voting booths! We had better put off the elections until we can decontaminate all public polling centers to assure the safety of our citizens!

We must become a cashless society. Paper money can contain the virus. Take this mark on the back of your hand instead and you can use it to make your purchases.

Meshuga!!! The best graphics guy on the net. I know it would be difficult but it would be cool to make an animated gif from the Ebola strain into a B.O. signature. With the caption like "something stinks and it's deadly."

Or better yet on one of his exectutive orders allowing flights in from Ebola affected countries. Morph that Ebola strain into Barry Hussien Obamas signed initials.

Suppressing the vote due to Ebola fears is likely to keep less motivated voters away, especially urban voters. Both groups are disproportionately leftist. The patriotic, anti-Obama voters? We'd crawl through broken glass to vote against anyone who supports the communist in our White House.

OK, Freepers, time for action.

Call your reps in DC and tell them the flights from West Africa through any hub HAVE TO STOP!

The place to fight this disease is at its source, not here.

The “screening” process at our airports is a joke and ineffective. 150 people a day are coming here from West Africa—that is 4500 a month. Some will show a fever and yet may be carrying the virus.

Our healthcare system will shutdown if this continues.

We already have cases in Kansas, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.

The first order of business of a government is to protect their citizens. And this government is failing to do so.

Make the calls.

The family you save may be your own.
