The lie that Liberals are telling themselves these days:
Lefty spinners have been out in force this week, trying to not only put some lipstick on the Obamacare pig, but a cocktail dress, earrings and pumps, as well.
However, it seems to be having the opposite effect, which makes perfect sense. After all, you can argue ’til you’re as blue-in-the-face as a Smurf, and folks’ll still figure out that paying hundreds or thousands more each year for insurance is NOT the same as “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan…“.

But that’s not slowing down President Pinocchio and his lackeys-for-hire. For example, check out the eagerness to flat-out lie, repeatedly, by NJ Rep Frank Pallone. He keeps smugly repeating his White House talking points even after Sebelius’ video is played, which utterly refutes him:
THIS is what we’re up against: truly cretinous individuals who crave power so much that they have zero compunction about telling ANY lie, as they try to convince anyone who’ll listen that up-is-down and black-is-white.

Additionally, the Insurance Industry is being castigated by the Left as the villains here, even as they’re being threatened by the Administration into not defending themselves publicly.
This isn’t a new development, either. Do you remember this “…Nice place ya’ got here; be a shame if sumthin’ happened to it…“ moment from Secretary Sebelius back in 2010?
(via Boston.com) – President Obama’s top health official warned the insurance industry yesterday that the administration will not tolerate blaming premium increases on the new health care law.
“There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases,’’ Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a letter to the insurance lobby.
“Simply stated, we will not stand idly by as insurers blame their premium hikes and increased profits on the requirement that they provide consumers with basic protections,’’ Sebelius said. She warned that bad actors could be excluded from new health insurance markets that will open in 2014 under the law. They would lose out on a big pool of customers, as many as 30 million people nationwide.
And just in case this isn’t crystal clear by now, here’s a quick interview with Jonah Goldberg to explain further:
The industry is partly to blame here, at least initially. Many (but not all) of the big insurers originally viewed the Affordable Care Act as a boon to their bottom lines, rather than a deal with the devil. However, now the entire industry is in serious danger, as their ability to set reasonable rates for risks is being taken away by the government.
Gee, who could have seen THAT coming??
I’ll leave you with one more brief clip, again starring the slimy congressman Frank Pallone. But this time he’s on CNN with Piers Morgan, usually a safe harbor for the Left.
The fact that Piers hammers him says everything about how ludicrous their entire argument is, and what it portends for the future as more people finally realize the size of the lemon President “Joe Isuzu” Obama sold them originally:
Let see, I have Frank Pallone just to the south of me. Bill Pascrell to the north of me. My representative is Alberto Sires, who I’m proud to say has greatly improved his English. Cory Booker was sworn in today as my new Senator. Just over the river mega-progressive, Bill De Blasio is poised to be the new mayor Of NYC. Do I have to mention my governor?
I feel like a character in a horror movie.
The Zombies have me surrounded and they’re coming to get me!,
UGGGGGG!.
HAAA!!!!!
You paint a scary picture, Bret.
😀
‘Course, your exact situation was what chased me out of Massachusetts once I graduated college.
I think they were supposed to replace me with another Conservative (the Bay State only allows one per county), but honestly, I’ve never checked…
Reblogged this on That Mr. G Guy's Blog and commented:
I’m speechless at the obvious prevarication put on by Pallone.
He’s a reprehensible slime-ball, MrG…

Love reading your text.
Did you read that America’s top hospitals are opting out of ObamaCare or at least limiting their exposure. Why wouldn’t they?
From US News & World Report:
Doctors are opting out as well. If you’re not paid even costs, why would you provide service?
Slowly but surely the information is getting out. I hope it gets out soon enough.
Thanks for the compliment, tannngl! 😀 Just trying my best to generate a chuckle out of a crappy situation.
Thanks for the link, and yes, I’d heard about the doctor/hospital situation.
I’ll do another follow-up on ’em soon, but there’s more to that than even what you linked, …
…and it was all 100% predictable.
“OK class, the obamacare talking points homework for this evening is to repeat the points over and over, individually,out loud, until you no longer laugh…”
“….until you no longer laugh…”
This will take some time, so please allow 8-10 hours, minimum……

Dang JTR! I love your style! This is excellent as usual, but you’ve got a way with words and usage of their own words to use against them! You Rock! 😀
Gosh, Duckie: coming from YOU, that’s a big-time compliment.
Thanks, my friend! 😀
Just thrilled you stopped by again. These insane Leftists need to be stopped, and we need all the help we can get!

Sorry…it just never gets old.
