Martha Says You’re Not Smart Enough To Understand Health Care
96.9 Boston Talks/Fox 25 Boston ^ | 1/18/2009 | Michael Graham

Posted on 01/18/2010 6:30:52 AM PST by Dayvester

This is a fascinating interview of Martha Coakley this morning on a local TV station, focusing mostly on health care. Note how Martha Coakley dismisses the concerns that voters have about health care by claiming the voters are too “unfocused,” don’t really understand this issues involved, etc.

In particular, watch her adamant response to the question about the fact that 61 percent of voters in the Suffolk poll don’t think we can afford government-run health care. “Are they wrong?” the interviewer asks.

“They ARE wrong,” Coakley practically shouts...

This is the underlying assumption of “liberalism” in general - that the masses are not smart enough to make their own decisions for themselves, and that they elite have the right and the duty, yes, the DUTY, to make our decisions for us.

The woman is so dumb she doesn't understand the basic facts. And her liberal elitism comes off as crass arrogance to the voters. They are sick of it. Martha, keep on talking!

Wow, stupidly and arrogantly digging herself and her cohorts deeper. LOL

Keep it up Martha for the next 24 hours.

Someone needs to keep Marcia away from microphones. I can’t remember seeing a candidate this bad... and I’m old enough to remember when John McCain ran for POTUS.

Martha’s problem is that we are smart enough to understand it’s not about healthcare.

I had a thought in the shower this AM. (oh, don't even go there)... The feds are in charge of the IRS, and we need CPAs, Turbo Tax, H&R Block, and similar companies to help us with our taxes.

Does anyone doubt that if the feds get control of our health care it won't be long before we need similar professional help filling out health care forms, making plan elections, heck, even to get basic services we may need "Turbo Helthcare" etc. Insurance, including health care insurance, is already complex enough. Does anyone think adding federal bureaucracy will make it better?

Hey, you dimwits in MA (FReepers excluded)!

You have two candidates. One has vowed to vote for a bill she could not have read nor understand. The other wants to send the bill away and start over on something new and affordable.

You choose.

Yesterday,liberal Salon Magazine reported Coakley was unable to warm up the meager crowd of loyal Democrats for Obama.

Today, Coakley chills Democrats, Independents, and Republicans.

“”President Obama speaks at a campaign stop for Democratic senate candidate ...
The nominee herself had not yet ignited the crowd when the president appeared.””

And when the masses resist, the elite find that resistance more of a threat to the nation than anything else, so it must be outlawed, prosecuted and crushed.

Should the resistance turn violent, the elite resort to greater violence......all simply to impose their ideas onto others who do not share their view of the world.

Hell.....I already do! I hate filing claims — I understand so little of it and I’m sure I lose money.

The Massachusetts state bird is the Black-Capped Chickadee, but it’s a little known fact that Mahthur (Martha in Massachusetts-ese) is the State Simpleton.

Each day I think can Marcia say anything else as stupid as she just said and whoosh whoosh she does. Good grief. I can bet the people of Mass are wonder how they ever elected her AG.
