We all know what the real goal of government healthcare is - control over all aspects of Americans’ lives.
The sheeplibs, though, still try to make that “moral, we care more than you” argument, and completely dismiss all examples of government control and rationing that have occurred in all other countries where this has been tried.
They seem to believe it’s a moral argument, moral as in social justice. Food, housing, education and health care provided as human rights over property rights and freedom (classic Marx).
And initially (a year ago) polling showed that in the abstract that the public agreed with Obama and democrats on health reform(especially his promises). But once the details of how this must work came out, especially to get it passed, it turned to poison. Add the bad economy, the failed stimulus and the deficit and you got a political disaster.
Liberals really believe the moral/social justice argument, and believe the government can ‘control costs’ by providing free services, with no profits. And they trust the federal government to make these decisions for everyone. They always seem to think that Obama will be in power forever. I always tell them that when Sarah Palin gets elected she will put Dick Cheney in charge of the death panels and he doesnt like liberals (just joking here, lighten up!)
Many big government conservatives (I call the TARP conservatives) seemed to believe Bush would be in power forever too.
