A Dem Running on Health Care

While most Democrats are running away from their votes in support of Obamacare, Rep. Bob “Who Are You” Etheridge last week produced an advertisement that attacks his challenger, Palin-endorsed Renee Ellmers, on the health care issue:

On Friday Ellmers responded with this video clip from her debate with Etheridge, in which he avoids her question about the government takeover of health care:

Curious move by Etheridge, considering his District is anything but Pelosi-friendly, despite his long tenure. Charlie Cook has his district “leaning Democrat.”

And I just noticed that Cook told Daily Caller that he’ll be “sacking groceries” if the Democrats retain the House.

    Ordinary people are simply not aware of what a disaster the Obama health care program really is. Why would the Government produce something so bad?

    In 1993, Bill Clinton charged his wife to come up with a Health Care reform program. Bill even held up his faux Health Security card – to give people the impression that Hillary’s program was an entitlement like Social Security and how could anybody complain about that?

    - until it was realized that Hillary’s program had less payout than the average State Lottery, and people would pay in a lot and get very little in return.

    Anybody could come up with something like that, even the President, which is exactly what he did, plus having the additional “health care benefit” of making it impossible for a number of health insurance companies to stay in business at all.

    Pinkish TV interview hosts give the President all the air time he wants to tell viewers how great he and his advisers and his Programs are.

    These same TV networks tie in anybody who has anything negative to say about the President’s programs with gun-toting “tea party-ers” who are all set to demolish anything that has the word “government” remotely associated with it.

    Some years from now these TV hosts are going to be getting a few laughs from their jokes about what a disaster this all was – and actually making fun of themselves from their tacit endorsements of it (TV audiences will have forgotten about that)
