White House Health Care Extortion

December 17, 2009 8:53:56 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

I’m sure you heard all about this in the news…….sorry, I couldn’t say that with a straight face.

This is the thug “Chicago way” of doing things.

“How desperate has the White House become to get anything passed under the name of health-care reform? According to Michael Goldfarb’s source on Capitol Hill, the Obama administration has targeted the last remaining Democratic holdout, at least among moderates — and they’re willing to damage national security to extort his support. The White House has threatened Ben Nelson (D-NE) with the closure of Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska if he opposes Reid’s latest version, despite its status as the headquarters of US Strategic Command:”

They went after Joe Lieberman's wife  as ambassador to a cancer foundation for crying out loud. Nothing gets in the way of this runaway train. Republican's might be the party of No, but Democrat's are rapidly becoming the part of vitriol and hate.

Couple things that sounded my bullshit alarm:

1. The base closing could not happen until 2013 at the latest, which would give the next president time to adjust it. Sounds to me like they used a bad barganing chip.

2. An independent commission reviews the list; hence, I find it unlikely that they would agree to closing the base, given it houses the United States Strategic Command.

2. The story is a lie; in fact, it has been refuted by the very man who is supposidly being threatened. (Source: http://www.omaha.com/article/20091217/AP09/912169975 )

As I said, they feel, but they dont care.  And they sure dont think.  That would be too strenous.  Liberals are much like animals.  Prick them and they bleed, but instead of making sure you do not prick them, they sue the knives.

Now they're trying to not only shove it down our throats, but prevent us from ever puking it up or shitting it into the toilet where it belongs.  If this isn't enough to trigger a revolt, there'll never be one.
