RRD: There are some individuals who believe that Obama is "a Peter Keating",and that Ryan is "the real threat" . To those I would say this is what the "pragmatic”,”go along” Democrats,led by Obama,are saying about the Health Care Bill that cost them the House.
Dems embrace Obama health law - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill | TheHill.com http://thehill.com/conventions-2012/dem-convention-charlotte/247729-dems-embrace-obama-health-law Kathleen Sebelius:
....“For us Democrats, ObamaCare is a badge of honor,”
“Because no matter who you are,
what stage of life you're in, this law is a good thing.” Michelle Obama at the convention:
“When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave
health reform for another day, another president,” “He didn't
care whether it was the easy thing to do politically —that's not how he was raised — he cared that it was
the right thing to do.”.... Fmr.Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania said that Democratic candidates ....should challenge Republican opponents
about what parts of the law they would repeal,citing
provisions banning insurance companies from
excluding children with pre-existing conditions and
giving seniors rebates for prescription drugs not
covered by Medicare.
“We can kill them on it,” he said." Neera Tanden, a former adviser to Sebelius who is now
at the liberal Center for American Progress, said:
.
...“My advice to them will be to use Mitt Romney’s
experience on healthcare as an attack on Mitt Romney
but also a character point about what he was willing to
do five years ago, six years ago. He was arguing for the
individual mandate,” ... .
...“Do I think we could have done a better job of
explaining what’s in the legislation? Yes, I think we
could,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), a close ally
of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “But I
think people are experiencing it, and that, I think, is the
best way to get the word out.”
DeLauro said the healthcare law represented “the
proudest vote” she had taken in her 22-year career.
“I think this is an opportunity, one, to let people know
what’s in this legislation, and two, to dispel the
misinformation about the legislation,” . “We are proud of the Affordable Care Act.We are proud of what’s in it and the difference it’s making in people’s lives. And we are going to talk
about it here.”
“I think we Democrats have basically turned a corner
on that,” said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), “We all knew that it
was going to take some time for average Americans to
understand what the Affordable Care Act was. But now
they’re getting it. People are now saying, ‘Wow, this is
good stuff.’ ” House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) “We don’t need a reason to defend the Affordable Care Act,” ,“We have
millions of reasons to defend the Affordable Care Act.”
Harkin again:
“Don’t run away from ObamaCare. Embrace it.”
“If people have something of value, and you want to take it away from them? Look out,” ...“That’s a losing
proposition.”
RRD: As someone said recently "This is the power of belief!"
But you see Obama is just a Peter Keating,he isn't a driven ideologue,no,no he bends with the wind. He's not a Toohey, or a Ferris or even a Walter Breckenridge. Keep telling yourself that a Peter Keating could have gotten Obamacare passed. Keep telling yourselves that Obama is a Peter Keating,but that Ryan,on the other hand is E-V-I-L.
Why?
I could understand it if someone said that both are evil in different ways or to different degrees,but how can one conclude that Obama is some kind of benign weakling?
Maybe because Ryan is Catholic & wants to enact a constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion, even though that will never be passed or ratified?
Is that it?
If not, then why,& how?
How,exactly,is Ryan "ten times worse than Obama",or "five times worse than Obama"?
How?
What specific harm will Ryan inflict,that makes him worse than Obama?
The first time that I heard the claim that Obama was like ”Peter Keating” was during the 2008 election. It was made by Robert Tracinski,so far as I know he has long since abandoned it.
But never mind:Keep telling yourself that Democrats are just taking "some ambling steps" towards socialism. Keep telling yourself that socialism is "a fad",which "has had its day" (during which time the ”fad” just happens to have killed tens of millions of people and left whole countries in ruins). Keep telling yourself that it is espoused only by "anti-ideologists" & "that Leftists are no longer the passionate collectivists" that they once were.
Keep telling yourself that long after the person who made such statements has (at least partially) modified his view. Remember Obama is Peter Keating! One day he may even get the memo.
