The government shut down looms, but the lies and distortion in the media are at an all time high. I listened to the CBS Evening news tonight to hear one commentator say that the only losers in the shutdown would be the American people. REALLY! I remember a few months ago being told by the media and the President that the sequester would destroy the economy and nothing of significance at all hashappened after the sequester went into effect except we have learned we can do fine with less and the economy has actually grown. Now we are told that unless the Republicans do as the Democrats say they are shutting down the government. NOT QUITE! The Dems need to look at their own polling data and realize that the vast majority of all American despise Obamacare. We are told today that the results of the elections have validated Obamacare. NO, the only way the Affordable Healthcare Act passed was because of a super majority of Democrats in the Senate and a huge majority in the house after 2008. Wait, Teddy Kennedy from Massachusetts seat in liberal Massachusetts was lost to Scott Brown because of the hatred of the Obamacare measures. Democrats lost the house in both 2010 and 2012. Where is the validation in that. Today, there are less Senate Democrats than in 2008. At least report a measure of the truth. The truth is that Obamacare is a loser and those who put it into law have exempted themselves. I am not a Tea Partier, but the ridiculousness and lies being portrayed are enormous. Wake up!
Update: The Senate just rejected the proposal by the House propelling us closer to the government shutdown. Who is closing down the government? Oh wait, it is the Democratic Senate that has voted against every proposal the House sends them. The Senate mantra is “It’s our way or no way!” What an utter farse. Don’t believe the ridiculous rhetoric trying to pin this on people who are doing what the vastmajority of Americans are saying in increasing measure….”SAVE US FROM OBAMACARE!” It is the House of Representatives who just said everyone including House and Senate members should be subject to Obamacare and after the President unilaterally delayed the employer mandate for one year voted the same for the everyday citizen. Wake up America!!! It is the Democratic Senate not the Republican House who is on the wrong side of history.
Interesting that President Obama pointed out today that a government shutdown would hurt the US economy because the Federal Government is the largest US employer…wait a second…isn’t that the reason we have a problem in the first place because the largest employer (the Federal government) keeps voting themselves exceptions to laws like Obamacare. No wonder some of them are afraid of a shutdown. Just agree to play by the same rules as everyone you are governing. I don’t think that is too much to ask…do you?
