Dem Damned Lies, Deceptions, and Dolts
Gene Lalor | October 28, 2009
This mess of Democrats in control of our government has come near to perfecting the fine art of political obfuscation and nervy prevarication.
Whether it’s the president who now says that, “Gee, when I said that my Obamacare proposals never incorporated funding for aborting the pre-born, I didn’t really mean that Obamacare wouldn’t incorporate such funding,” or other deceptions, it’s transparent that this ilk has gone to the top of the Prevarication Charts.
Seriously, now, they are absolutely superb at twisting the truth, that is unless, ala Bill Clinton, everyone else is lying but they are telling the god’s-honest truth.
For example, “Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.)
told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that ‘under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions’ he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan—which has never been written.”
Huh?
“I don’t know if it is a game of semantics or what,” Stupak said of Obama’s nationally-televised declaration to Congress that the health-care plan will not allow federal funding of abortion:” http://bit.ly/11fnaq.
Rep. Stupak, it’s not semantics. It’s baldfaced lying, a political technique developed into an art form by Barack Obama and his acolytes and predicated on the assumption that the American people are dolts.
All Stupak wants is a floor vote on an amendment prohibiting abortion funding in Obamacare, a transparent, democratic procedure to determine specifically where House members stand. Speaker-wannabe Steny Hoyer has now tried to placate Stupak with more mealy-mouthed, vague promises of compromise: http://bit.ly/4dy7iw
Then along comes the Queen of Deceptive Prevarication, House Speaker Nancy Patricia D’Alesssandro Pelosi, who feigned ignorance–or was it feigned?–when asked in a news conference where the Constitution authorizes Congress to mandate that Americans buy health insurance.
Adopting her usual aged-babe-in-the-woods, dumbass pose, her Botox-frozen face inhibiting any real emotion, she asked, “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
In other words, the Pacific Heights millionairess hadn’t the foggiest notion about what our Constitution authorizes or mandates. She quickly moved on to another, more serious, question.
A little fyi for Botox Nance: As far back as 1994 the CBO concluded that, “The government has never required people to buy any good or service . . . it would impose a duty on individuals as members of society. Second, it would require people to purchase a specific service that would be heavily regulated by the federal government:” http://bit.ly/Jmdii
Pelosi is either a consummate liar, a total ignoramus, or both.
Finally on the falsehood front, a horse is a horse, of course, of course, right?
Not necessarily, since a horse may not be a horse or, when a government official says it’s a turtle or says expending vast sums of taxpayer monies really means saving vast sums of taxpayer monies.
The chairwoman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer
pulled off a simply marvelous act of prestidigitation when she said with a straight face that spending a trillion dollars actually saves money: http://bit.ly/4vrsLO.
And I say horses are really turtles. It all depends on your perspective, nomenclature, and the depth of political deception.
