OBAMACARE: THE LIES JUST KEEP ON COMING!

65

By SheriSapp

I realize that politics is a seedy and nasty game based largely on the quest for power. Our founding fathers envisioned a nation where the leaders were just average folks taking a few years off from their "regular" jobs to govern the nation. I have NO DOUBT that they would be angry and disappointed about the career politicians we have serving in Washington today. Though the thrust of this article focuses on the democratic liars, I am under no illusion that republicans do not tell lies, after all, they ARE politicians too! Unfortunately for the future of America, the lies of the democrats are tearing at the very fabric of our culture and society. Many conservatives believe that the libs ARE well-intentioned, but their implementation of their vision is just plain wrong. After all I have seen and heard from this current crop of lib elites controlling the legislative and executive branches of our government, I am starting to conclude that many dems are ONLY concerned with expanding their power and retaining the good pay and benefits they receive from the public coffers. If they were truly interested in governing and leading, I think they would at least PRETEND to listen to the American citizens. NOT THIS BUNCH.....against the majority on AZ, immigration, and the mosque at ground zero, but STILL calling any dissenters all type of nasty words! I guess their rudeness to folks who disagree is just a symptom of their unchecked arrogance!

We CANNOT have a federal government that basically confiscates the money of those who WORK for it and produce SOMETHING in order to give it to those who freely CHOOSE NOT TO WORK! If those people desire a higher standard of living, and are physically ABLE to work, they need to get off their asses and contribute. I know we have high unemployment now, but McDonald's is still hiring....not a great job, but a JOB at least!! We have all heard the platitude that freedom isn't free; well, if you are an American citizen unwilling to work, the dems are oh so quick to invent some new victim status that will explain WHY you are incapable of working, and they (the dems) will just STEAL from those EVIL rich people (who probably WORKED some to GET rich) and give YOU whatever YOU want if you promise to vote dem and keep them in power. Honestly, it would be nice for a while to contribute NOTHING yet STILL reap the same benefits of those who DO WORK! In fact, some of these slackers live BETTER than some of the people who DO get up and work everyday. Sick isn't it? These are the promises the dems make ad nauseum to ANYONE wanting a free ride. Seems to me like an incentive to NOT work!!

In fact, with the unemployment rate as high as it has been for over a year, one would THINK the dems would be focused on creating jobs. NOT THIS CREW!! They wasted over a year focused on a HCR the majority of citizens did NOT desire. This is where we find the most enormous lie EVER told by a politician anytime, anywhere. If you so desire, you can even see and hear an audio/video clip of this WHOPPER. See, too bad for the power-hungry dems who grow NOTHING but the size and scope of the federal government, we really are NOT as damn stupid as they think and hope we are. During the HCR debate, BO went on tv MANY times to try and explain this stuff to us dummies; he INSISTED that adding 30 million more people to insurance rolls would NOT increase the cost. It really is a marvel that he was able to deliver that one without even a snicker, most "average" dumb Americans, even those supporting BO, were not STUPID enough to believe that pile of crap!

Well, in the last few weeks, we have been treated to more face time from the commander in chief AGAIN talking about Obamacare. Now, the POTUS freely acknowledges that costs WILL go up, and they KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!! Gosh, wonder why they were so insistent that costs would actually DECREASE? Why were they so nasty in the rhetoric they directed at anyone BOLD enough to question their rather questionable accounting method? Remember when they called the republicans and other dissenters flat-out LIARS and FEAR MONGERS? In retrospect, it certainly seems that the liars WERE and still are, on the democrat side of the aisle.

This past week, insurance companies have come under fire from the secretary of the HHS department, Kathleen Sebelius, when the companies were so foolhardy as to freely admit that ALL PREMIUMS ARE RISING due to the added cost imposed by the future implementation of Obamacare. These are PRIVATE businesses that are now operating under GOVERNMENT imposed rules, and they are still in the business of turning a profit for their shareholders. Don't worry though, secretary Sebelius has levied a THREAT at these companies that they just damn well better shut up, sit down, and pay up. Now, a threat from a citizen surely would not hold much weight, but when the threat originates from the GOVERNMENT they would be wise to listen. These companies have been told they will be totally EXCLUDED from the future insurance pools of Obamacare if they continue to .....TELL CITIZENS THE TRUTH!!! Is this our government abridging the freedom of speech of these companies? I know our constitution disallows that VERY thing, but most of us understand how contemptuously the dems view our constitution at this point. They trample it daily.

Is this REALLY what the democrats think is just and fair to Americans? Are we expected to just work, pay, work, pay, and continue to see our incomes DECREASE because the democratic government has decided that we have made enough money and we need to share our wealth? Funny how many members of the legislative branch are MILLIONAIRES, but they NEVER see themselves as the "evil rich" BO lambastes daily. Of course, most of them also are not subjected to the same laws they force upon the rest of us. If they are so serious about social justice, they should set the example and give their paychecks to charity. STEALING from those of us who do work in order to subsidize those who will NEVER work is the dem way of keeping themselves in power. As long as the dems keep championing illegals and other law-breakers, they hope to keep themselves in power by rewarding their supporters with entitlements that will eventually bankrupt this nation.

This entire HCR CRAP was smoke and mirrors, lies and bribes, payoffs and winks, but the really sad truth, is that it was all based on BALD-FACED LIES!!!

Patriot,

Thanks for being my first commenter and leaving such a GREAT comment. I am becoming more and more concerned and afraid about the future of America. I will be voting as early as I can in Nov. I even have an election countdown on my board at school!!!!!!

Dear Sheri,

The CBOpredicted rising costs and now word has gone out to Dems not to mention cost when discussing health care. What a complete disaster, which I believe is exactly what this President wants. When he isn't promoting class warfare he is making promises that can never be kept. Rated up!

Pop,

Thanks for commenting. If we don't get control of the congress after November, this nation will be bankrupt before the 2012 election. Scares the hell out of me to think what will happen if this spending and lying continues unchecked. Wonder if the MSM cheerleaders are proud of themselves?

Nailed it here! I love the passion behind your words! If the democratic party really

feels the need for all these handouts what's so wrong with making the recipients work for it. We currently pay for street cleanup, beautification of cities, beach cleanup...you are telling me there is absolutely nothing those on welfare can do to earn their money and help reduce expense elsewhere? I'm willing to bet as soon as "working" becomes a stipulation to their welfare checks all of a sudden they will find better paying Jobs. Only thing democrats know how to do is stifle peoples hopes and dreams.

Bail up,

I don't think I have heard from you before. Thanks for commenting. I find it appalling how the dems are ALWAYS trying to pit one group against another instead of working to sovle problems. This POTUS is proving DAILY what happens when somebody who has NEVER managed ANYTHING is suddenly in charge of a very large corporation. If he couldn't continue to blame Bush, he may be forced to admit he is just an incompetent fool!

Sheri,

you've really out done yourself with this work of vibrant words painting a portrait of professional deception mongers in the perfect light! It just doesn't get much clearer than this. I cannot believe we are on the eve of 20 states suing the potus over the constitutionality of this maggot breeding pile of worthless flesh that is the federal level of government. Then we move on as the potus sues Arizona? In all my years I'd never had thought that we would stand in a time of law suites of government against government, now I understand Rev. Write's words from 2008 when he called for damnation of America, it had to be the government to which he referred because he doesn't know you or I even exist.

It's dangerous waters that the potus and friends are treading, if they crash the economy to times like the "Great Depression" people won't be jumping out of windows, they be smashing them in to loot what they need to survive. Some will be stupid and loot for a television or other things, but I believe with all my Instinct that there will be hell to pay, and we are teetering on the edge of the end. A scary thought.

Good Job! Keep the pot hot until election time this year, when we hopefully change liars for the good to stop this crap, Dusty

How many times have you heard pundits say the American people have short memories? It's not true - it's the pundits who don't remember. We do remember. And more and more who voted for Obama remember what he said last year. That's the breakthrough. His numbers will only go down.

SheriSapp Hub Author 20 months ago

Dusty,

Your words of praise are sweet to my ears!! I agree that it is UNACCEPTABLE that the fed is suing AZ simply because they are trying to protect their citizens when the fed refuses to. I will definitely be keeping up to the election and beyond. Like you, I fear America is teetering on a precipice from which we may not recover for years.

At this point the MSM and the dems may actually be resorting to prayer in order to help them come November!!

Thanks so much. I also have been getting a good number of views and comments, but my hubscore seems stuck at 92. You don't think the San Fran libs who run this site could have anything to do with that...do you? LOL!!!

Liberals lovers need to come to the realization that the supposed "RICH" the democrats love to demonize are really small business! People who own business and have income tax returns to the tune of hundreds of thousands, What they always fail to mention is this is not always profit! I owned a business that made 600K a year, yet I was only able to take home around 70K, The rest went to parts, employees, taxes, more taxes, and more taxes! just wanted to point that out! Thanks for a great write!

AR,

Thanks for the great comment. The dems are so desperate to use their proven strategy of class warfare, and they are pretty scared about November at this point. More and more folks realize the folly of believing ANYTHING the dems say.....LIES LIES LIES!!!

Health care was nearly a death knell for Clinton. It WILL BE a death knell for the Obama administration in 2012, and will certainly be a death knell for the current democratic majority in Congress in November.

They simply cannot win with this big of a weight over their heads—EVEN IF we suddenly had a one or two point drop in unemployment figures between now and November.

SheriSapp Hub Author 20 months ago

Springboard,

Thanks for leaving a comment. I agree that this great HCR is a pig in a poke. My concern is that the repubs STILL have their priorities askew. I have heard that if they get control, they will open lots of investigations into BO and his crew. The main focus they have,other than to create jobs, SHOULD be to completely repeal Obummacare!! I just hope if we win in November, the new conservative legislators will work to govern and help we the people instead of playing politics!

Sheri, Did a Democrat really tell a lie; not in the present administration. Our President ran on HOPE & CHANGE; wasn't that for the betterment of all Americans?

Just ask the people how much better their lives are. Better have a gun with you! H

Harvey,

Too bad for the dems that almost everybody's lives are much WORSE than they were before the great liar took office. I don't even own a gun, so I will heed your advice and NOT ask anyone!!

I don't own a gun either, I don't like them, but I will take up for anyone's right to have them.

Very good article, and you are right. Obamacare frighten's me. I use supplements to doctor my overactive thyroid and see a natural practitioner and from what I'm hearing, Obamacare will completely do away with natural supplements. I can vouch that natural remedies work much better and do your general health better than depending upon our present 'medical' system. Obamacare is just going to further expand our very 'sick' healthcare issues and even enforce those that do not want to participate do it. We have yet to see whether there will be enforced vaccines, but it is wrong. I believe that vaccines tax your system down, and plus, our Constitional Rights should protect us to have our own choices! They are slowly, but surely eroding out the Constition and unfortunately, now there are even times, when I wonder about re-locating to another country. I love my country, but things are changing here and not at all for the good. Good pub, thanks for sharing

Sunny,

Thanks for such a thoughtful comment. The more I learn about Obummacare, the more concerned I become. My parents are both approachijng the age of 70, and this plan is imposing HUGE cuts in the money spent on seniors. I also agree that this is against our constitution. It sickens me to hear them trumpet the "free" preventive care that any thinking person must realize will be paid for by hikes in rares elsewhere. I'd think even the dems are smart enough to understand that NOTHING is ever free!
