Wednesday Quotables

Presenting the latest rubbish from politicos and Leftmedia talking heads.

Upright

Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh: “This ObamaCare lie is lying about the most personal thing in many people’s minds: Their relationship with their doctor and their health. Not only that, the health of their entire family. This is as personal a lie as this president or any president could have told people.”

The BIG Lie

Barack Obama “Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you could keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed. So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you’re grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we’re saying is they’ve got to change it to a higher standard.”

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “[W]hat we’re talking about here is insurance companies who chose not to keep the plan they could have grandfathered, and they chose to change the plan that they were making available to people that they already insured in the individual market. … So, no. there was nothing about what President Obama or that I or any other Democrat supporting the affordable care act said that was not true.”

Alpha Jackass

Barack Obama: “We [passed ObamaCare] to put to end the days when the individual market had no standards, when every year, thousands of Americans would be dropped from their coverage. People are acting like this is some new phenomenon.”

Demo-gogues

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Well, as I understand it, you can keep [your insurance plan] up to the time – and I hope this is correct, but this is what I’ve been told – up to the time the bill was enacted, and after that, it’s a different story. I think that part of it, if true, was never made clear.”

Village Idiots

Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer: “[I]f the president were to allow people to have those [insurance] plans be downgraded, or insurance companies to keep selling barebones plans … he’d be violating [an] even more important promise to the American people – that everyone would have a guarantee to access of quality affordable health insurance.”

Dezinformatsia

National Journal’s Alex Seitz-Wald: “America, we’ve got some bad news: Our Constitution isn’t going to make it. … [T]he Constitution simply isn’t cut out for 21st-century governance. … As we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, constitutions have started to look and more alike. Not surprisingly, the U.S. has one of the world’s least generic constitutions. … American exceptionalism is a fine thing, but there are still things we can learn from other places.”

Non Compos Mentis

Southern Poverty Law Center’s Mark Potok: “The TSA … is an agency of the DHS charged with ensuring the security of transportation, most notably air transportation. Although it has not been widely singled out by Patriots, it has been subjected to criticism by far-right homophobes, among others, who have alleged that TSA agents engaging in hand searches are really sexually groping travelers.

Short Cuts

Humorist Frank J. Fleming: "Maybe Obama speeches should have that guy at the end of prescription drug ads who quickly explains all the side effects. … Obama and the Democrats lied about how Obamacare would force people off their plans, and the only way to deny that is more lies. … If you like your lies, you can repeat them.”
