Will Obamacare ‘Destroy America’?

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) told WOlf Blitzer Obamaacare is "going to take us off the edge economically. It’s going to destroy our economy and it’s going to push us into a total economic collapse of America. And that’s exactly what I mean by it’s going to destroy America.”

It's always fun to watch Freepers struggle between being somewhat politically savvy and really wanting to just let their fear and loathing run free.

cripplecreek explains about all the secret liberal parts of the law:
I personally haven’t forgotten that bill contained all kinds of unrelated crap that progressives have wanted for decades. Things like green building codes and energy mandates.

We haven’t begun to see how bad this really is.
workerbee knows a little hyperbolic demagoguery is totally fine!
“Do you still stand by all of those pretty extreme words?” the CNN host asked.

"Extreme". LOL. Little Wolfie can't seem to understand the concept of Repubs speaking up for their base. (come to think of it, most of us can't... but that's another topic...)
Boogieman wants politics to be done only through weak puns now:
“The Supreme Court approved it saying it was constitutional. The president was reelected by 5 million votes so it is the law of the land right now.”

“It’s the flaw of the land in actuality,” Broun shot back.


Brilliant.
Gritty is a bit unclear what is and isn't law:
The Law of the Land?

Isn't passing a national budget yearly also the Law of the Land Isn't the federal government defending states from foreign invasion also the Law of the Land?

Methinks the little mouthpiece 0bamakissin' Liberal twerp Wolfie just likes certain laws and doesn't mind if the really important ones spelled out in the Constitution are ignored.
PATRIOT1876 laments all the rich people and their "I got mine!" attitude
“Who cares if millions suffer with bad heathcare and have unreal burdens paying their premiums and gargantuan deductibles? Who cares if millions lose their jobs or become much poorer?

I'm set for life! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

~What Blitzer REALLY means
PATRIOT1876 explains there is no such thing as real law because slavery was legal once:
Can you imagine Blitzer if he had been born in the 1800’s and there was TV in 1863.

He'd be there defending slavery because it is “the law of the land”
sauropod wants Republicans to stop talking to the press:
Why does this Congressman have to answer Blitzer’s badgering?

I’d just tell the CNN host to go back to rump kissing President Stompyfeet (I love that).
cripplecreek has declared moral victory:
They don't have the courage to acknowledge that the house most closely represents the people or that some 24 states are fully in GOP hands with the democrats holding 12 or 13.
Dick Bachert - Obamacare is about wrecking Obama, who will destroy America:
The fight over Obamacare is about stopping the unvetted, unqualified, narcissistic megalomaniacal former community organizer and tyrant in the White House from bringing about his “transformation of America”. That phrase was and is code among his dumbed down and/or uninformed supporters for creating a despotic Marxist redistributionist Utopia. That it has failed everywhere it has been attempted and left misery and death in its wake is of no concern to them. The magic Obama can make it finally work.
1035rep knows liberals are losing the debt ceiling fight - and has a Fox News poll to prove it!
The problem these libs have is they know they’re losing this battle. They think more face time will help. I hope the GOP continues to hold the line. The democrats are domestic terrorists and we need to treat them as such.

A Fox News national poll asks voters to imagine being a lawmaker and having to cast an up-or-down vote on raising the debt ceiling: 37 percent would vote in favor of it, while 58 percent would vote against it.

Most Republicans (78 percent) and a majority of independents (57 percent) would vote against raising the limit. So would almost all Tea Partiers (88 percent).

Even Democrats, by a 48-42 percent margin, are more likely to say spending cuts must accompany an increase in the debt limit.

  1. I'm certain that Fox News poll was unskewed.

  2. The Republicans, and the Tea Party wing in particular, know this budget show down is their last stand ...
    caving on this (and its about to happen) foretells their loss of the House in 2014.

    1. They didn't lose the house in 2012 after the 2011 Debt Ceiling dispute and that was in a general election. I'm not confident that no matter what happens there will be enough turnout next year to make enough of a difference.

    2. They lost the popular vote in the house, it was only through gerrymandering that they retained the house. In 2014, more takeable seats are available.

      Plus, we've now had an actual government shutdown. Unlike a debt cieling fight, which looks like business as usual, a shutdown shows that these assholes are actually ruining things in an obvious way.

    This poor schmuck doesn't seem to realize that this is actually the official GOP platform, for all intents and purposes.

    Not only is the GOP not gonna hold the line on default, but after this debacle the business interests that fund a good chunk of the GOP are gonna do their very best to relegate the Tea Party to a historical footnote with about as much national credibility as the KKK.

    FReepers think they have plenty to whine about now, but they ain't seen nothing yet.
