Congressman John Carter (R-Texas 31) on Obama’s “New” ObamaCare proposal

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Since the Warlord of Mars is my own congressmen, I thought I would link to his most recent statement on ObamaCare, especially since it’s nicely concise and pungent:

There is no point, and great danger, in attempting to talk with President Obama about healthcare reform until he first agrees that the House and Senate healthcare bills are dead.

Republicans have not killed his bills. The American people have rejected them, from their knowledge of the details of the Democrats’ plans. Democrats and the President can’t seem to fathom that the voters of this country are pretty darn smart and very interested in anybody’s plans that include controlling their healthcare and 18 percent of the national economy from Washington. Average voters across the country have actually bothered to read extensively about these proposals, and have reached their own informed conclusions.

This fact is indeed a big pill to swallow for those who believe average Americans spend all their time bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles.

SNIP

Unless the President agrees in advance to wipe the slate clean and bury the rotting corpse of Democrat healthcare reform, we will really have nothing to talk about.

It’s a good speech, and short, so read the whole thing.
