Only Six People Signed Up for Obamacare on First Day
- Thread starter Max E.
- Start date
Ho hum. Another day, another baseless attack of racism by the left against those who dare question the agenda of President Obama. Yes, this is the state of politics today. In the words of the late great Andrew Breitbart: âThat Broccoli Is Racist!â
From the DC:
Georgia Rep. John Lewis on Tuesday compared Republican opposition to President Obamaâs health-care law to racism.
The Democratic lawmaker made the comments comparing the Republican resistance to Obamacare to the opposition to civil rights in the the 1950s during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing with Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Referencing the numerous Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare over the last several years, Lewis said: âJust reminds me of another period in our history. Not so long ago during the 50s, many Southern senators signed a Southern Manifesto after the Supreme Court decision of 1954. And those senators â along with many Southern governors â subscribed to the doctrine of interposition and notification and some even massive resistance.â
âThatâs what we saw on the part of the Republican members of the House and some of the Republicans in the Senate,â he said of GOP attempts to defund Obamacare.
Ironically, while Lewis used the Southern Manifesto â which was in opposition to integration â to attack Republicans, 97 of the 99 politicians who signed it in 1956 were Democrats...
