Now that healthcare reform has passed, Democrats and the liberal media have made
haste to shun the "R" word. No, it's not "Republican," or even "Repeal." It's
"Responsibility." Jack Cafferty wrote an idiotic article on CNN.com lambasting
Republicans for being "sore losers," and inviting the hordes of Obama sycophants
that read CNN to join him, which they lustily did. It is as though the whole nasty
healthcare mess was caused by Republicans refusing to participate instead of being
systematically excluded, obstructing because they persistently voted against a bill
in which they did not believe and spouting hatred because they called Democrat supporters
of the bill out for the liars they demonstrably are. How typical!
The truth is that Democrats are first in line for taking credit, but nowhere to be seen
in the line of accountability and responsibility. Their so-called healthcare reform bill
is the single most fiscally irresponsible act ever perpetrated by American legislators.
Gaming the Congressional Budget Office by handing it unsupportable assumptions
in order to get a low score, pretending to improve Medicare by slashing $500M
from it, raising taxes during a recession so deep that millions remain unemployed,
mortgage foreclosures are commonplace, investments are worthless (even before the
Draconian new Obama taxes), Democrats have persisted in a series of unsuportable
claims. The utter fantasy that overall care will be improved as millions of the previously
uninsured flood the waiting rooms of a shrinking medical population while, at the same
time actually reducing the stunningly frightening deficit they have fueled with their
profligate spending boggles the reasonable mind.
Instead of tightening the belt, fixing the broken system and containing costs within
the current generation, they have whistled a happy tune, torn the best medical system
in the world down to the ground and passed the tab on to our children and grandchildren.
Ignoring the fact that legislators are supposed to fix problems instead of creating new ones,
spend and waste Democrats have put America on the fast track to bankruptcy by
underestimating costs while over-estimating savings and revenues. And jerks like Jack
Cafferty can't tell the simple difference between "sore losers" and Americans who ponder the mendacity in which this bill of goods is mired and fear for their future and that of
their successor citizens.
So Jack's position is apparently that we should all just say "don't worry, be happy"
and move on while Obama the socialist grants amnesty to millions of illegals so that
they, too, can enjoy free healthcare, tells us what we can drive and where we have to
set our thermostats and runs us out of our small businesses while padding the pockets
of his union buddies. Well, guess what, Jack. In November we're going to find out
just what kind of losers Democrats are. And I'll be the one jogging your feeble memory
to write an equally one-sided piece about their sorry attitudes, feeble self-justifications
and venomous accusations. After the decade long Dem whine over Al Gore's
presidential defeat, it is plain laughable that you harpoon Republicans for their wish
to repeal a hideous spendthrift bill most Americans never wanted in the first place. You
media ostriches can keep burying your empty heads in the sand, but the lies used to
pass this bill will soon come home to roost. Maybe then you can get a job as a pitch
man trying to save Obama's miserable legacy, because your journalistic credibility
will be in the toilet.
