Obamacare: Health Care No One Wants, At A Price We Can’t Afford. Fabulous!

Published by Mockarena on February 23, 2010 in Really?. 2 Comments Tags: .

According to this, we are so totally screwed on this healthcare deal.

Obama’s 11-page proposal, according to the article, “manages to take the worst of both the House and Senate bills and combine them into something more destructive.” There are more taxes, more subsidies, and more spending like we have piles and piles and piles of extra money just laying around. Remember the sweet deal Ben Nelson got in Nebraska? Well, now EVERYONE gets it! FREE MONEY FOR ALL! YAY!

And better yet, there’s more government control! There’s going to be a new “federal board” which will oversee premiums in the private insurance market. Even though we already have state oversight, Obama doesn’t think that’s good enough. We need more government people to have jobs paying more than the average private sector employee to decide whether or not insurance company rate increases are “reasonable.” Yup – now Obama wants to set pricing. Which is odd, really, seeing as how he’s convinced that his plan will stop costs from continuing to rise in the first place. I mean, if his plan is going to stop costs from rising, why does he need a whole board to oversee rising costs? Oh that’s right. Because he ultimately wants single payer, and this is a sure fire way to get us there.

The bipartisan summit this week is such an utter and complete joke. Obama has no intention of compromising or even listening to Republican ideas. For that matter, he has no intention of listening to the American people who have been overwhelmingly clear about their disapproval of his plans. He’s just going to force it through Congress using any means necessary.

After all, we don’t know what’s good for us. We’re just ungovernable ankle-dwellers.

Attention Townspeople: Scott Brown Remains Hot

I love the up-and-coming, new blood stories that are starting to surface for the 2010 elections. One election that may prove pivotal is Massachusetts. If Scott Brown is elected to represent Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate, he “would be the 41st vote against Obamacare.”

And, of course, he’d look hot while doing so.

Just thought I’d throw a reminder out there that it’s time for new Sheriffs in town. I have a feeling that 2010 is going to shape up to be a banner year.

I Cringe At The Thought Of Making The Title Of This Post “Yet Another Lie.”

It’s a definite head-scratcher. I mean, the dude cannot STOP LYING.

But here’s another one for the week. Oozing in its boldfaced glory. Funny how the exact thing he smeared McCain for in the campaign is the thing he’ll ultimately pat himself on the back for.

You know, I’m not surprised by the lying at this point. I’m just surprised that all of those people who think he poops platinum haven’t given him the collective middle finger yet.

Wow.

Kickbacks And Deals For Democrats. Republican States? Screw You.

Published by Daisy on December 22, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 7 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

This is your hopey-changey world of butterfly kisses and compassion and fairness and tolerance, people.

Harry Reid is actually defending his sweetheart deals and backdoor slimeball tactics to get this monstrosity of a healthcare bill passed. Because, this wackjob and his buddies believe that they’re not doing anything wrong here. I mean, they think it’s O.K. to speak out of 18 different sides of their mouths. They think they’re good, compassionate, fair and morally-sound people, and it’s O.K. to pay off a bunch of Democrats and buy their votes (at the expense of TAXPAYERS) to make their little agenda come to fruition. All the Senators who got kickbacks? I know you’re shocked, but they’re Democrats. And when they get to duck all the increased costs we’re going to see, guess who gets the bill for it? Yeeeaaah. That’d be you and me! Yay!

The entire thing is a freakin’ sham. It’s a blatant example of how the President LIED to the American people. How Harry Reid is a delusional old man. And, how Nancy Pelosi hasn’t a CLUE what the Constitution is.

But yeah, Obama promised non-partisanship. And no deals like this. And transparency. Lies are awesome, aren’t they? Especially when they come with a smile and a handshake.

Sure, you can cheat to win. But in my book, it’s not winning. Eventually, it’ll bite you in the ass. And most of us in this country – those of us in the majority that do not want this – will be the ones biting, I’d assume. I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face – it’s NOT DEMOCRACY, you guys.

You people in Nevada, for crying out loud, get this delusional, arrogant old windbag out of office. YESTERDAY. I’m not above begging you at this point. Oh, and FYI – I’m not the only one who despises him at this point. Apparently, 54% of his voting pool does, too. Go figure.

Hey, Look Everyone! It’s Another Lie! I’m Shocked, Too.

Remember this load of steaming horse crap from the campaign?

Yeah, I do, too.

The sketchy healthcare legislation that most of us DO NOT WANT passed the first floor vote in the wee hours this morning. And no one really knows what the hell is in it.

Still no pissed off liberals, huh? Because I have to say, I’d be giving buyer’s remorse a whole new meaning at this point if I had been one of those lemmings who guzzled the Kool-Aid.

Open up wide and take your CHANGE, everyone. Because that’s all you’re going to have left if this thing goes all the way through.

Transparency, My Butt

Hey you guys…did you know that “Any big agreement is progress. Even if we do not know all of the details.”

Did you know that?

Yeah. Bob Casey, the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania said that. Because this healthcare bill is all about making HISTORY, folks. It has absolutely nothing to do with helping the American people. It has everything to do with politics, higher taxes, and higher premiums. It has everything to do with going against 61% of us that don’t freakin’ WANT it. How on God’s green earth is that democracy? How is that progress?

And that transparency thing they’re always bragging about? The only thing that’s transparent in all of this is how absolutely full of monkey crap they are in shoving this down the throats of the American people.

FAIL. Again.

So now the President is putting a huge scare out to the American people that if this monkey poo monstrosity healthcare reform bill doesn’t get passed, we’re just all going to go bankrupt.

BOO! (I scared you, didn’t I?)

In an interview with Charlie Gibson, he spewed the following:

If we don’t pass it, here’s the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they’re going to drop your coverage, because they just can’t afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year. “

The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”

That is so precious.

Do you guys remember when he yelled at Republicans last summer for using scare tactics? It was kind of all over the news, actually. I mean, what a bunch of meanies those Republicans are trying to scare the American public. SHAME on them.

Here’s an example.

And another one.

And yet another one.

I could continue here, but I think you get the point…

The hypocrisy is so deep, I now need some of those ridiculously-expensive, couture, thigh-high boots that Michelle Obama got from France to wade through it all.

It perplexes me that people still take this guy seriously at this point.

GAWD.

The Compassionate Liberal Left Would Like To Ruin Hadassah Lieberman

Published by Daisy on December 16, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , .

There’s a liberal blog that wants to basically ruin Hadassah Lieberman for, well, being married to Joe Lieberman, I guess. His stance on healthcare and her lobbying alongside him is grounds for her to be outed from her post as global ambassador for breast cancer research, according to the liberal blog.

Her “husband’s opposition to the public option makes her unfit for the role.”

Um, alrighty then.

The Susan G. Komen foundation issued a statement defending her (which restores a bit of my faith in humanity, FYI):

“As a global ambassador, Ms. Lieberman is focused on helping us reach out and educate women outside our borders about breast cancer, sharing our knowledge and experience in a culturally sensitive way that is making a real impact on the lives of women across the globe. We have every intention of continuing our relationship with Ms. Lieberman in our mutual pursuit of a world without breast cancer.”

Never mind the good this woman has done, though, if you’re a compassionate liberal blog. I mean, who gives a rat’s butt that she’s actually done some good and has been a shining example of an ambassador for a cause? Joe doesn’t agree with the sh*tty public option? Well, what a beeyotch his wife must be, then. Let’s pull out the educated and better-than-you big guns! CELEBRITIES. Aw yeah. Ones like Christie Brinkley, Cynthia Nixon, Trisha Yearwood, Ellen Degeneres and presumably other Mensa candidates as well. Because, let’s face it, folks. When you want to get the real people out there fired up about a cause, pull in some celebrities that are totally in touch with the real world. That should do the trick.

Very compassionate. Way to eat your own, liberals. Bravo.

Dissection Of An Obviously Race-Driven Conservative Ad – Really?

Published by Daisy on December 16, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 6 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Shame on those race-card-playing conservative wackjobs. I mean, they’re causing confusion among the liberal elite. In the clip below, Rachel Maddow and her lemming du jour need help in understanding an ad put forth by conservatives to mock the fact that if they disagree with Obamacare, they’re all labeled as silly racists. I think it’s pretty self-explanatory – and it honestly doesn’t take an entire 8-minute segment to dissect, but I’m also not of the same intellectual capacity as someone like Maddow and friend, obviously. I mean, the last time I checked, they all thought I was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, so take this entry for what it’s worth, people.

For all you simpletons like me out there, I’ll break it down in Readers Digest for Dummies format –

Liberals are allowed to play the race card. Liberals are allowed to scream “racist!” at conservatives who are opposed to the healthcare bill, mainly because if we don’t agree with Obama on ANY issue, we are obviously racist. And, of course, liberals are the only ones who can determine what is offensive, as they’re the only ones who are allowed to get offended. If a conservative is offended, on the other hand, well, um, HUH? WHAAAA? Conservatives can’t be offended, silly! I mean, we’re all just a bunch of walking white stereotypes void of feelings and emotion and compassion. This is common knowledge in today’s MSM, right?

If one can’t understand the blatant mocking of the fact that race is even an issue at ALL in this monstrosity of a health bill, then one may need to take the giant “I’m a victim” plug out of one’s assular cavity. Especially if you’re spending a whole segment on your show dissecting it. I’m just sayin.

Here’s a newsflash to the ones offended by this ad. The bill sucks monkey poo. And, out of the 61% of people who oppose it, I would venture to say that not all 61% of them are racist a$$holes. They maaaaay just think it’s a fiscally irresponsible piece of crap. They may believe that it’s going to cost way more than what the Messiah has promised (because, let’s face it, the dude has broken just a wee bit of his campaign promises already in one short year). They may believe that their freedom is being stripped away, and this is a huge part of the beginning of that stripping process. They may just have an issue with government attempting to have more control over our health, our families’ health, and the ramifications that are consequential from such governmental control. They may believe in personal responsibility. In a free market. In LESS government. Hell, they MAY be actually satisfied with their current healthcare. You know – the one they work hard for to provide to their family, because they don’t see it as a right, but rather a privilege.

And all of this maaay just be what this ad is trying to point out. By being snarky. Hello.

According to Maddow and company, it’s pathetic that conservatives would use race in this way. It’s OBSCENE, I think was the exact word used in the dissection. Because, you know, Democrats NEVER pull the race card for their own gain. Ever.

Wow.

More Bad News For Boobs

Published by Daisy on December 15, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

So you remember that entry I posted a while back about boobs? You know, the one that talked about the government’s new recommendations for who actually needs a mammogram. Well, apparently, after those lovely recommendations came out saying that women didn’t need to get screenings until their 50s (unbelievable), 20 states have already cut funding for mammograms. This is after liberals got their panties in a big ol’ wad, claiming that those crazy wackjobs on the right were wrongly screaming “rationing!” And it was after the Obama administration even said, ‘um, yeah…you may want to ignore those recommendations.’

According to this, though, it’s not been ignored. Quite the opposite.

Here’s a quote from the AP:

As the economy falters and more people go without health insurance, low-income women in at least 20 states are being turned away or put on long waiting lists for free cancer screenings, according to the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network.

In the unofficial survey of programs for July 2008 through April 2009, the organization found that state budget strains are forcing some programs to reject people who would otherwise qualifyfor free mammograms and Pap smears. …

At least 14 states cut budgets for free cancer screenings this year: Colorado, Montana, Illinois, Alabama, Minnesota, Connecticut, South Carolina, Utah, Missouri, Washington, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. …

The issue of when women should get mammograms erupted into controversy last month when the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended that the exams not be given routinely until women are 50, and then every two years.

That broke with the Cancer Society’s long-standing position that women should begin getting mammograms at the age of 40 and annually thereafter; the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends mammograms every one to two years for women in their 40s and every year after age 50.

What do I think? Well, I think this type of thing is a preamble to that that hopey-changey, “everyone gets free healthcare! YAY!” piece of monkey crap legislation that may be to come. But what do I know? I’m just one of the crazy wackjobs that screams stupid things like “rationing!” when SURELY that’ll never happen here in the United States. No way. How silly and ignorant to think such a thing could happen here…

Reid Only Wants To Work When It’s Convenient For Him

Published by Daisy on December 11, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

So, you know that whole healthcare bill thing? It’s kind of huge and stuff. Yeah.

“Republicans are prepared to provide a platform for the debate as long as it takes,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell, noting that “The majority leader said we would be working every weekend and we took him at his word.”

Well, apparently, his word is only good when he doesn’t have a $1,000 a plate fundraiser to attend. And this weekend, Reid wants to NOT work so he can attend one of those fundraisers – which happens to be for him.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that people are starting to not like him? His current approval rating is hovering at around 14%. Huh.

Or maybe that has something to do with he and Nancy McBotox shoving this legislation down the throats of Americans who don’t want it.

Either way, nice double-standard, Harry. Bravo.

McCain Smacks Harry Around

Published by Daisy on December 8, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 2 Comments Tags: , , , .

So, you know that whole Harry Reid thing Mock wrote about this morning – the one where he compared people against Obamacare to those who supported slavery and the suppression of women’s rights? Yeah. That one.

Well, John McCain answered Reid today, seen here in a 7-minute video of graceful and responsible discourse.

I’ll recap for you into a Reader’s Digest numbered-list format (in no particular chronological or hierarchical order):

1. The healthcare debate has indeed been a “spirited” one.
2. Harry Reid is cracking under pressure and pulling things out of his assular area like slavery and women’s rights to try to pass his monkey crap legislation.
3. Harry Reid has absolutely no dignity.
4. Harry Reid has zero class.
5. McCain would like an apology from Reid, as the Republicans involved in the debate are upholding their constitutional duty of acting on the part of their constituents in a situation where EVERYONE AND THEIR FREAKIN BROTHER will be affected.
6. Harry Reid is a moron.

But, you can go ahead and watch the video for yourself, if you want:

Wow. Americans Are Kind Of Pissed Off Right Now.

According to Rasmussen Reports, the following surveys have been brought to light, and of course, I felt compelled to share:

And last but not least, The Rasmussen Reports “daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters strongly approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) strongly disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12.”

Keep up the stellar work, Dems!

I think this illustrates big government versus private sector quite well:

If It Walks Like A Bribe And Talks Like A Bribe…

Published by Daisy on November 24, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 7 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

The Washington Post reported on a provision in the health reform bill that would give the state of Louisiana – whose Senator, Mary Landrieu, is indecisive on health reform – $300 million.

This is called a big ol’ fat bribe, but Dems will call it something else semantically-correct and full of rainbows, kittens, and sunshine, I’m sure.

What I’d like to know is if we’re in so much debt and Obama and Reid and Pelosi and all the other stooges think this legislation is so “deficit NEUTRAL,” then how is it so darn easy to just throw $300 million at someone for a single vote? And if you’re having to shell out this much just to get ONE STUPID VOTE, then maybe your plan kind of sucks monkey poo. I don’t know about you guys, but $300 million is SORT of a lot of money. In fact, I myself wouldn’t mind seeing some of that $300 million back in my own paycheck. Sort of like a Christmas bonus, if you will…

Watch as CNN’s John King makes Sen. Sherrod Brown and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen squirm at first, only to regain their obviously fake composure and dance around the notion that Obamacare is all about buying votes and doing what it takes to “HELP” people (even though more than half of us don’t want this damn thing).

I could just be hormonal, but their arrogance makes me want to punch both of them in the face.

You ready for this? Harry Reid thinks that the healthcare monstrosity is all paid for, you guys. It’s FREE!!!!!!! And he doesn’t know what “world – what SPHERE” – conservatives are living in.

Um, Harry – that would be the sphere of existence where I’m going to have to pay out the butt for something you feel superior to participating in yourself. This “FREE” thing he speaks of will have 85% of us with health coverage seeing our premiums go up. Not to mention the fact that our liberty is at stake. And it’s yet another $2 trillion government takeover. But yeah…it’s hard to see why people with Actual Brains would want to stifle the crap out of this.

I’m just glad I’m living in that “other sphere.” I like it here. Quite frankly, I don’t want to live in the land of age-spotted senility, thank you very much.

Last night, it was a 60-39 vote. The Dems rammed it through for the next debate to take place after Thanksgiving. And just in time for Christmas. Yay!

GOP Weekly Address: Let’s Just Call This Atrocious Healthcare Bill What It Is – 2,704 Pages Of Pure Monkey Crap

Below is the GOP weekly address, delivered by Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID). Just so we’re all clear, the vote’s at 8 pm tonight.

“This 2000-page bill will drive up the cost of health care insurance and medical care, not down, increase taxes by hundreds of billions of dollars, cut Medicare for senior citizens by hundreds of billions of dollars, grow the federal government by over $2.4 trillion in new spending, push the needy uninsured into a failing Medicaid system, impose a damaging unfunded mandate on our struggling states, leave millions of Americans uninsured, and establish a massive governmental intrusion into management of our health care economy.”

This One Is About Boobs, Everyone.

Published by Daisy on November 21, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 22 Comments Tags: , , , , .

That usually gets both men and women’s attention.

In light of the healthcare debate today (oy vey), there’s a piece of the legislation that is clearly indicative of the whole piece of crap. In the socialist nightmare that is the healthcare bill, there are “recommendations against mammograms for women in their 40s.”

Now, as a 38-year old woman who is approaching this 40-something milestone and who has already had three mammograms in her life combined with a biopsy on a benign thing in at least one of her breasts (at age 34, mind you), this information made my ears perk up a bit. And rightly so. And if you’re a woman with fabulous boobs that you would like to keep healthy without having someone tell you when it’s “appropriate” to do so according to age (and bureaucratic red tape), your ears should be perking up, too.

It’s called rationing, people. Or at least the start of it.

And Republican women, at least, are actually calling it what it is:

“One of the real dangers, I think, that we are talking about with this health care proposal that the Democrats have put before us is the concern about rationing,” said Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) on Friday, calling the mammograms recommendations “a peek under the curtain, if you will, of what we can anticipate with a government-run program.”

“This is how rationing begins,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said Tuesday.

“This is the little toe in the edge of the water. And this is where we start getting a bureaucrat between you and your physician. As we have gone through this health care debate over the past several months, this is what we have warned about.”

Of course, the Dems are calling the Republicans actually taking heed of this crap, well, “bizarre” and “outright low,” blaming our irrational beliefs on fear of cancer.

Um, DUH. Fearing cancer is a BAD thing now? WTF?

See, the White House is using this thing called “comparative effectiveness research” to reduce health care costs. Because health care, in their minds, is about economics. Not health. Or innovation. Or HUMAN FREAKIN BEINGS. Regardless of what they spew to the masses who think they’re doing this to help everyone get medical care.

I call major B.S. on that. It’s NOT going to lower the deficit – it’ll just add to it, and if you have any common sense whatsoever, you know this. It’s putting a bureaucrat in the way of you and your doctor. And it’s putting people like Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a position to tell American women to “ignore the new guidelines” that the medical community puts forth on things like breast care and mammograms.

And the debate on this monstrosity is today.

And guess what, clever and competent readers? This is just a TINY, itty-bitty portion of the massive, craptastic bill that’s being debated on today.

Can I get a YAY for democracy? Oh yeah.

Don’t Have Health Insurance Under Obamacare? GO TO JAIL.

Published by Daisy on November 12, 2009 in General Political Mockery. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Yeah. He’s pretty much solidifying that fact in this video – well, in his own little B.S. rhetoric-professor-of-comparative-literature kind of way, that is.

Of course, when asked about jail time, he “stopped short of endorsing (it) for those who refuse to pay a fine for not having insurance.”

Which, in Bo semantics (based on his history of being such a straight shooter so far), means that he’s pretty much for it.

Just as a personal sidenote, I have been a contractor/consultant for 14 years of my career so far. During that time, I probably went without health insurance for 3 or 4 of those years. Why, you ask? Because it was MY CHOICE. Because I don’t live in a Communist nation. Because I’m an AMERICAN. You know.

Just sayin.

Nice work, Dems. Bravo.
