And so it is that Democrats are once again determined, as well as quite content, to use the American people as pawns in what is very clearly nothing more than a warped attempt to advance their rather twisted agenda. They seek to force the Republicans to compromise, aka to acquiesce and/or to surrender, and to abandon their effort to keep taxpayers from covering the cost of healthcare for those in this country illegally. Democrats seek to do so because they see it as being politically advantageous. Democrats apparently view providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants as being their pathway to victory in the rapidly approaching midterm elections.
And Democrats
have all but admitted that that is in fact the case. And it was this past
Friday, during an appearance on the broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire,” that Sen.
Chris Coons, Democrat, admitted as much saying that because the Republicans
control both chambers of Congress and the White House, the government shutdown
“is our only moment of leverage,” and while shutting down the government is “a
very unpleasant tool to use, it’s gotten us focused on what we have to do to
change direction on health care.” Apparently not unpleasant enough for
Democrats if it will gain for them sufficient forward progress on what it is
that they hope to accomplish.
Coons
said, “[T]his is principally a fight over health care and trying to prevent
what’s going to happen on November 1, which is millions of Americans get
notices that their health insurance is going to double in cost. That’ll impact
all Americans. We’re going to see emergency room wait times go up, total health
coverage go down. President Trump ran for president on lowering costs and
making America healthy again. He’s actually doing the opposite, and the
consequences of the so-called big, beautiful bill, in terms of throwing
millions of Americans off of health care in the coming years, is something that
Democrats consider a crisis."
He
continued, “Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage, and although a very unpleasant
tool to use, it’s gotten us focused on what we have to do to change direction
on health care.” Focused? Seriously? Clearly the Democrats are the exact
opposite of focused! American are leaving the Democrat Party in droves; they’re
upside in all the issue polls and can’t raise money. From where I come from that’s
called being a failure. They’re focused on healthcare which they broke and is
their biggest failure of this century next to education, which no one talks
about, and a massive crime spree.
I seem
to remember a time when Republicans tried to use a government shutdown to
effect a change in policy by opposing a clean CR. And it was then that
Democrats said that it was “hostage taking” and referred to the Republicans as
“terrorists.” I wonder why doing so now is any different. And contrary to what
those like Coons may say, the Democrats really don’t have any leverage here.
These public statements made by Coons, and any number of others, are only meany
to stir up the fools who continue to support this party of losers and haters.
You see, the Democrats simply cannot afford to allow their masses to quiet
down. That would bring about certain defeat.
Holding
the country hostage while poor people, or those whom the Democrats claim to be the
sole guardians of, can’t get food stamps is pretty low. So, I guess what Coons
is really saying here is, “we’re fighting for healthcare for you while you
starve to death.” Which has to be one of the dumbest arguments ever. It’s become
common knowledge that this shutdown is all about free healthcare for illegal immigrants
and not U.S. citizens. But his “moment of leverage” comment does however
demonstrate that Democrats do in fact own this shutdown. The last time the
Democrats were this “focused” is when they rammed through the Unaffordable Care
Act.
Finally,
a little honesty from a Democrat. Democrats continuing the shutdown is all
about remaining political relevant despite the fact that the people they claim
to represent are made to suffer greatly, including those serving in our military.
Why doesn’t Coons and his party do things to help the American people instead
of pursuing their relentless pursuit of power no matter who get hurts? That
said, the welfare bums will still vote for free everything after the shutdown
is over. But once over welfare should never come back. It shouldn’t even be an
option. If healthy enough to pump out children and waddle down the aisle at
local stores, you can get a job.
Coons is
just one more piece of shit on what has become a long list of many other pieces
of shit! He cares nothing for the taxpayers. Democrats are simply trying to prop
up Obamacare, which the Democrats so casually shoved down the throat of the
American people. Democrats crafted the legislation, brought the legislation and
passed the legislation, all without a single Republican vote. It’s called Obamacare
for a reason. And Democrats have had the better part 12 years to fix it. They
all knew this day was coming. And now the only way Democrats have any hope of
getting what they want is to deny thousands of Americans enough money to eat.
I gotta
be honest, it’s difficult for me to have sympathy for a young 300-pound woman
on ‘X’ telling me how it is that she intends to get groceries and walk out
without paying for them because the government won’t give her food stamps this
month. She wants you to believe that her children are going to go hungry. No
one is buying any of it this time around. It’s called getting a job. It’s the
Democrat way. Using poor and weak people to try and push through an agenda.
These people have no compassion towards anyone in this country but themselves. What
Coons clearly doesn’t understand is that no one cares about the shutdown. No
normal person is affected.
So,
riddle me this. How can the insurance costs of Obamacare plans possibly double?
I mean, wasn’t the entire point of the thing to lower costs and to prevent
those “double digit” price increases that private insurance plans had? If the
cost of the insurance plans are going to double, then are Democrats, like Coons,
admitting that Obamacare was an abject failure when it came to controlling
costs. And on the subject of an extension for the subsidies, I was under the
impression that the Republicans had offered a one-year extension of those subsidies,
and the Democrats rejected it. If the Democrats are so sure about winning the
midterms why not accept?
Putting severe economic
pressure on the American people for political leverage in attempting to move
the unmovable may make good political sense, but those people who have been
made to suffer will likely remember their suffering next Election Day.
Republicans will not cave to Democrat insanity. No way, no how, not gonna
happen. Democrats can keep digging their political graves. Because, at the very
least, the Democrats are admitting that this government shutdown is purely political.
Contrary to what Coons may think this ongoing shutdown is not giving Democrats
any leverage. It’s only prompting more Democrats voters to rethink their party affiliation.
