What to look for during the Truman Show tonight

When asked what he thought of the debate on Dear-Dope-a-care, Rev. Jerry whitey can go to hell Wright said “the racists in the right-wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.” OK fine. I suppose just like the left-wing, which is loaded with anti-Semites and racists, Wright among them, the right-wing has its share of racists as well.

But Wright, the Dear Dope and the MSM are missing something rather huge. It’s not racist right-wingers stopping Dear-Dope-a-care. Even if every one of us right-wingers were a racist, we do not have a nearly 60 seat majority in the house and 59 senators in the senate. The Demo-Dopes do hold those majorities. Then just who is it holding up Dear-Dope-a-care? It must be racist left-wingers.

After rallying America’s youth yesterday, Truman (aka the Dear Dope) takes to the airwaves again tonight to sell Dear-Dope-a-care. But who is he trying to sell it to, racist right-wingers or the racist left-wingers who are the ones holding it up?

If you’re watching tonight, listen for several things:

We can not afford to do nothing.

WRONG!! Thanks to the Dear Dope’s so far successful attempt at bankrupting the country, doing nothing is about all we CAN afford to do.

Also “doing nothing” is code for the Dear Dope to allege that Republicans do not have a plan of their own and just want to block everything. He said as much at his special interest group talk at the AFL-CIO picnic. That is a lie. And that is why calling him the Dear Dope is a generous title. Better to think of our Exalted One as a sail-eared, pencil neck, buffoon being manipulated by evil doers than a sail-eared, pencil neck, lying buffoon calling his own shots.

America is the only industrialized nation that does not provide healthcare for its citizens.

Fine, go to one of those other countries and stand in line next time you or one of your kids gets sick.

And notice the line is always “doesn’t provide healthcare.” The Dear Dope and Demo-Dopes never claim that America doesn’t provide TREATMENT for its citizens. Why not? Well because, America does provide medical TREATMENT for its citizens, and it’s the best medical TREATMENT in the world.

America is the richest nation in the history of the world, yet we still have 43 million Americans without health insurance.

First, that number is BS. The Dear Dope knows the number is BS. And sadly for the Dear Dope and Demo-Dopes more and more Americans are learning that the number is BS.

But OK fine let’s play pretend and say that for the first time ever the Demo-Dopes aren’t lying through their teeth to us and that there really are 43 million uninsured Americans. Insure them and leave the rest of us the hell alone. It has to be cheaper and easier to work on that small number of 43 million rather than the slightly larger number of 350 million which is everyone in the US.

The Dear Dope will frame his idea – which isn’t his – in newer poll tested terms. Listen for the terms “cost savings” and “competition” to be used over and over.

Cost saving and competition can be achieved by lifting the bans on insurance companies doing business across stateliness and adopting a rule that if you sue your doctor and lose you pay (aka tort reform).

Last, everything will be repackaged. The government option will get some fancy poll- tested name like Co-Ops.

Don’t fall for any of this. This is the Dear Dope’s umpteenth attempt to explain and sell this albatross. I learned somewhere that if you have to explain something more than twice, it’s either a bad idea or too complicated. Dear-Dope-a-care fails on both accounts. Dear-Dope-a-care at 1,200 pages and growing is so complicated nobody knows everything in the bill. And it’s clearly a bad idea to take the best healthcare system in the world and turn up it upside down to model it after systems that have failed or are failing all around the world.
