GOP Media Strategist Says Republicans Would Choose Killing Obamacare Over Killing Osama Bin Laden
72 replies, posted
[quote]According to a Republican strategist, Republican voters hate President Obama so much, that they would choose killing Obamacare over finding and killing the man who orchestrated the murder of 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001.In an article about Newt Gingrich in the National Journal, GOP strategist Rick Wilson claims that he polled a conservative focus group about what they would rather do, kill Obamacare or have killed Osama Bin Laden. According to Wilson, his group would have ignored the number one threat to American safety to dismantle President Obama’s health care law instead.
From the [URL="http://mobile.nationaljournal.com/columns/against-the-grain/the-newt-moment-20111206"]article[/URL]:
“A candidate “needs to have a warrior ethos to be the GOP nominee. They have to be a fighter, and they have to have some substance,” said Republican media strategist Rick Wilson.
If Democrats suffered through “Bush Derangement Syndrome” during the last decade, Republican primary voters view the current president with near-contempt, thanks to the lousy economy and a liberal governing agenda. Obama’s unpopular health care law is still driving much of that anger. Wilson said he recently conducted a focus group where Republicans were asked whether, if they had a choice, they would rather “kill Obamacare” or have killed Osama bin Laden.
“They would have killed Obamacare and waited for the actuarial tables [to] play out for bin Laden,” Wilson said.”
I have to admit, I’m both shocked and not shocked at all. I know that Republicans are obsessed with killing the Affordable Care Act but I never thought they’d be so obsessed that they would pass on killing Osama Bin Laden if he were still alive. So basically, Republicans are admitting that they hate President Obama more than the terrorists who attack America. Way to go Republicans. You’ve successfully chosen hatred of an American leader over the safety of the American people. How much lower can you possibly sink?[/quote]

So... stopping doctors from helping people is more important than stopping a mass murderer?
Stay classy, Republicans, stay classy.
Republicans don't want to get revenge for 9/11?
That obviously means they're non-American, send them to death wish haste!

I don't think your typical Republican voting citizens see it that way. They're just fear-mongered into believing that Obamacare is something that it's not.

Well, it's basically a choice between what they see as damaging the economy or killing somebody in what is ultimately a symbolic move. He's dead now, and Al Qaeda hasn't stopped killing people, or hating the west. Of course, the only reason they dislike Obamacare is because the Democrats backed it. There are some things in it I believe they genuinely oppose, but it's mostly just politicians being politicians.
So when do the smart people triumph over the stupid?

Today on the radio I heard a commercial, can't remember the company it was for but it said 'we have TV's and microwaves smarter than most Republicans!' keep in mind this was on a rock station, in the south. That says something, even the rednecks think it's all bullshit.

I didn't say I agree, I'm pretty neutral on that point. I'm just stating the facts. You really should learn both sides of the argument before you go blindly defending one side.
