Levin: GOP ‘Lied Their Way Into Office,’ Perpetrated ‘Greatest Hoax in Modern Politics’
CNS News ^ | 07/27/2017 | Michael Morris

Posted on 07/27/2017 9:38:44 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mark Levin blasted Republicans in yet another Facebook note on Wednesday, saying they “lied their way into office” and perpetrated the “greatest hoax in modern politics.”

“Here comes rationing, long waiting periods, and massive red-tape,” said Mark Levin in all caps on. “The Republicans lied their way into office in what is the greatest hoax in modern politics.”

Levin’s comments came after seven Republican senators joined Democrats in voting no on a “clean repeal” of Obamacare promoted by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. on Wednesday.

In the note, the famed conservative radio personality laid the blame for future problems surrounding Obamacare squarely on Republicans.

“TODAY, SEVEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS… ,” Levin’s Facebook note is headlined in all caps. “…voted against repealing Obamacare, six of whom voted for repeal two years ago …

“Today is the day government-run, universal health care was born,” Levin continued. “It's just a matter of time. And you can thank Republicans in the Senate, House and White House.”

The power over Healthcare is not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, therefore, the power over Healthcare is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Amendment X

Levin is amazed that politicians lie to get into office? Really?

Maybe this explains why Mark Levin was such a huge supporter of political outsider Donald Trump last year in the Republican primary race.

Oh, wait a minute ...

No wonder Levin hates populism, he really sucks at it.

Gotta give Freeper holdonnow a huge mega bump on this. It took time to smoke out the treacherous political trannys and this issue did it. Now we know, beyond all reasonable doubt, that some Republicans never ever intended to repeal Obamacare, but they shamelessly campaigned on the issue. They lied, and now they are admitting it by deed, if not by word.

Why would he? Trump was clear and stated on 60 Minutes he believes government has a role in healthcare. He is right in line with the exempt congress..

Its called campaigning

Here was Trump:

TRUMP: 2016 before the election:“I want to keep pre-existing conditions [the Obamacare provision that prohibits insurers from denying coverage]. I think we need it. I think it's a modern age. And I think we have to have it.”

These are not real republicans, they’re democRATs masquerading as republicans.

Get real. He’s not ‘amazed’. He has known this for a long time. He’s outraged, as we all should be. What was needed was a definitive event that proves the Pubbies’ insincerity/hypocrisy. The vote provided that clarity, when these jackasses reversed their votes when it was no longer safe to vote for repeal. (because it could actually be passed and signed into law).

Levin is using his blowtorch radio signal to make sure that as many people possible get the point. It’s not like we’re gonna see it on the alphabet networks...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the bill of rights does not specifically take the power away from the federal government, then as far as they are concerned they can do it all they want. Obama got this thing passed constitutionally (unlike much of his actions via executive order, many of were things that should have been done legislatively according to the constitution).

If republicans want to start fighting fire with fire, unless they intend to get 2/3s majorities in both houses next term, they need to stack the courts and start ramming through laws, and more importantly, executive orders, to nullify, reverse, and displace Obamacare, and let the lawsuits get stacked up and knocked down

Even though I have written off Mark Levin, this is and accurate description of the current state of affairs.

This, the Trump era, is probably the only window to start a third party, if meaningful takeover is not achievable, because there is a legit reason that sensible people could get behind. Millenials, Latinos, Democrats that can’t believe whats happened to their party, etc.

A Modern American Party.

“Levin is using his blowtorch radio signal to make sure that as many people possible get the point.”

Yes.

I liked this headline, and is one of the reasons why I posted this article.

The headline is a “blowtorch radio signal.”

Hopefully, many people will get the point.

Also,

“The power [over Healthcare] is not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, [therefore, the power over Healthcare] is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Amendment X
