republican paranoia

Free Thinker · Mar 23, 2012

Why is this happening? At least part of the answer must lie in the way right-wing media create an alternate reality. For example, did you hear about how the cost of Obamacare just doubled? It didnât, but millions of Fox-viewers and Rush-listeners believe that it did. Naturally, people who constantly hear about the evil that liberals do are ready and willing to believe that everything bad is the result of a dastardly liberal plot. And these are the people who vote in Republican primaries.

So the CBO's making up the $1.76 trillion?

President Obama's national health care law will cost $1.76 trillion over a decade, according to a new projection released today by the Congressional Budget Office, rather than the $940 billion forecast when it was signed into law.

It's not that the cost doubled. The CBO is just finally telling the truth about it. They accepted various ruses put up by the democrats before it was passed to fudge the cost estimate.

If the republicnas take over the Senate and House, canning the people who run CBO might be a good first step.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence." -Bertrand Russell

I have realized that in our world today, it is possible to create a complete bubble. One can literally live in their own little world. The election of Pres. Obama was a shock to the system of many of these types of people, and their reactionary behavior is to be expected.

First, denial.....America will elect McCain even with that nutbird veep he picked.

Then anger.....Obama is the anti-Christ, a usurper, a foreigner, a muslim, a closet terroist.

Then bargaining......which is what the birther movement is about, if we can just convince people he is a foreigner, then they will impeach him.

Then depression.....our country is screwed, Im leaving....the sheeple.....the parasites.....if by some miracle Obama loses......

Acceptance will come in November, when the bubble is burst once and for all for those folks who watched too much Father Knows Best.

Indeed. I'd like for Obama to win for two reasons. First, he's the best man for the job among the available candidates. And second, for some high-entertainment in-your-face-style satisfaction. Oh, we'll have such fun.

You forgot '' Pink Pantie Fetish Sheriff Joe ''

Actually it is hilarious that a local sheriff can take on the President of the United States. Its an example of how powerless and feckless Barrack Obama is.

Your posts are well, not all the remarkable. Its the mental illness exhibited by RCG that is really fascinating. Yours is a supporting role at best.

The Grief process among some these wingers is fascinating to watch

Another good call Brother.Much better then PSPR's predictions

PSPR on Chuck Hagel being confirmed...

Quote from pspr:

He's toast. Next!

Quote from pspr:

Liberals everywhere are acclimating themselves to the fact that Obama is toast and Romney is going to be the next President.

Quote from pspr:

We should start a poll on how IQ-47 is going to end it when Romney wins.

Quote from pspr:
I think AK may be right.
When Obama doesn't even get 200 electoral votes it's going to look like unskewedpolls.com was wrong saying he will get 217.

Quote from pspr:

Hopefully, President Romney and Republicans in the House and Senate will have replaced the law with something realistic by then or soon after.

Quote from pspr:

My personal feeling is that they will NOT uphold the insurance mandate in ObamaCare

Quote from pspr:

In saying "run out of office"I mean that he (Obama) won't be able to get on the ballot for a second term.

Quote from pspr:

I suspect the same thing will happen when a party doesn't show up to any civil case. The other party wins and Obama will not be on the Georgia ballot in November.

Quote from pspr:

I just see catastrophe if he (Obama)is re-elected and I don't think God will allow nationwide catastrophe to happen to the U.S. So, I have always had faith that he will not be in office in 2013.

Quote from pspr:

If you can remember your history, the election after Speaker Gingrich shut down the government saw the election of President George Bush

Clinton won the election after the shutdown

Quote from pspr:

Regardless, it will be interesting to see if the judge decides to keep Obama off the ballot. I don't see how he can rule any other way.

Quote from pspr:

I'm still waiting for Obama's October surprise but the pollsters may be doing the democrat oversampling on purpose so his supporters don't see how bad he's really doing and don't pressure him to make something happen.

Quote from pspr:

The race hasn't even started yet. As mentioned in the analysis, "these polls will change". Other polls show just the opposite so it's better for people, at this stage, to be concerned you are behind than to get too confident in April.

Besides, we have all these and other shockers to come:

The Holder Contempt Trial
The Occupy Riots
The Black Riots
The Obama Historical Movie
More BC Revelations
The Summer Economic Slump
Possible Stubbornly High Gas Prices
Possible Stumbles in The Debates (Obama doesn't do good without a teleprompter)
Possible Inflation taking hold
October Surprises

Quote from pspr:

This is just sad.

I'm hoping "Fast And Furious" will turn out to be Obama's "Watergate". If we can get him out of the White House Biden will be inept and won't do more damage. Obama has more damage planned for the economy if he stays for another 18 months.

Quote from pspr:

I think they (Arabs, Palestinians and Obama) are trying to box Israel into a corner. Of course the Arabs would just love for Israel to defend itself and have the U.S. on the other side. This could be Obama's Watergate (or Waterloo).

Quote from pspr:

At least until we get to the October Marshall Law event. I've noticed even the Weather Service and the Social Security Administration are ordering tens of thousands of hollow point pistol rounds and the military has written a manual on dealing with civil disobedience.

Quote from pspr:

Then there is the October surprise. Israel attack on Iran, Obama military action somewhere, Obama push at civil disobedience, polling intimidation, etc. I don't know what, but if Obama is behind Romney in Ocotober he is going to do something shocking.

Quote from pspr:

I'm still waiting to see what the Obama manufactured event/crisis is going to be that supposedly will unite the country behind him in October. A failed (staged) assassination attempt would probably do it.

Quote from pspr:

Could this be how Obama tries to rally the country behind him before election day?

Possibility 2)
During the debate a shot rings out and the President clutches his shoulder and falls to the ground. The perp (put up to the deed by the Obama Campaign) has fired a blank round but a device under the president's jacket has imparted a shallow wound to his shoulder.

The perp is hauled off to an undisclosed location and after treatment Obama says he will continue the debate with his right arm now in a sling and bandages apparent under his jacket.
