1. Give it up 'Pubs

FFS

[windje]

41. Before . . .

Before Ted Cruz became a senator there was never a case of ebola in the U S.

[geardaddy]

42. Yes!

[unblock]

2. thanks to obamacare, the sun continues to rise in the east, like clockwork.

thank Obama that we don't have the total darkness we would have if the sun stopped rising in the east each day!

[whathehell]

3. +10 n/t

[vkkv]

4. If Texas had got on board and set up Obamacare exchanges last year -

then Mr. Duncan would not have been less likely to have been turned away from the hospital for having no insurance. He would have got in the 1st visit, admitted and less people would now be affected.

Thanks Gov Perry ! ! !

[vkkv]

5. Or Mr. Duncan might still be alive.

[vkkv]

6. Everything is BIG in Texas...

especially the SUCK!

( In my humble opinion htat is... Is freedom of speech now quashed at D.U.?)

[tazkcmo]

64. I live in Texas

And you are correct.

[n2doc]

7. Before Ted Cruz was elected Senator, we never had Ebola here either n/t

[Principled Peter]

9. Damn!

I was gonna say that.

[Ilsa]

34. Oops. i read this thread after posting the same thing as a thread.

[appalachiablue]

66. ha, ha, ha great one. Why don't the Dems. use this kind of thing?

[landolfi]

8. This is arrogant stupid.<eom>

[NewJeffCT]

10. Before George Bush

3,000 people had never died during a single terrorist attack on American soil.

[Cha]

56. There ya go.

[corkhead]

11. Yes, but before "Obamacare", there was no iPhone 6!

put that in your pipe and smoke it Nick.

[samsingh]

12. how do these imbeciles even look in the mirror with a straight face

no one is that stupid.
they are playing with lives

[FiveGoodMen]

17. "no one is that stupid"

He's hoping Cruz's constituents ARE that stupid.

And I'll bet some will be running around quoting him to their friends.

The anti-science (basically, anti-reality) crowd have brought us to the point where stupid is bottomless.

[NewJeffCT]

20. I bet a good portion of Cruz voters

will be parroting that line at their office water cooler over the next week or two.

[tazkcmo]

65. They are!

The proof is in the results of the election Cruz ran in.

[MADem]

13. GAWD, the stupid...it burns!!!!! nt

[demwing]

14. Obamacare signed 2010 | Ted Cruz elected to Senate 2012

OBAMACARE CAUSED TED CRUZ!

[pangaia]

15. Just to keep thing honest,

seniors are still getting screwed by the Part D DONUT HOLE.

Other than that it is pretty clear that Ebola was caused by Obamacare. No doubt. None whatsoever.

[wial]

16. and the sequester

which gutted the CDC had nothing to do with it.

[underpants]

18. Take a d/(knead eboling take them eboling

Sort of Camper Van Beethoven lyrics

[LeftishBrit]

19. What the hell does it have to do with 'Obamacare'?

And people died of other serious infections long before Obama. HIV was seriously neglected under Reagan; possibly there would have been fewer deaths if there had been earlier action on this subject.

[lunasun]

51. Now don't go being sensible trying to think it through just join the knee jerk hate rant

The people that repeat this crap and kick it forward never use reason

[Shadowflash]

21. ISIS never beheaded anybody before Obamacare, either.

Thanks, Obama!

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Here's Dr. Pussycat's reply to Ted Cruz and Nick Muzin. . .

[Cha]

57. Good look on the cat, Dinah~ Mahalo..

[Initech]

23. Oh if only they could find a way to link Ebola to Benghazi.

[Cha]

43. Ebolaghazi! Obamacarebola! Republicons are Stupid!

[Initech]

47. Ebola originated in Africa, Benghazi originated in Africa...

So by their logic Ebola and Benghazi must be linked! It's teh evil conspiracy!!!

[decrepittex]

63. Whoa............

didn't the blonde bimbo from the View already tie Ebola and Benghazi together on Faux news??

[Enthusiast]

25. Typical Republican idiocy.

[Auggie]

27. Stupid? It's intentional misinformation. That's their game.

[vlyons]

28. Cruz knows perfectly well what he is doing.

Don't ever think that he is stupid, because he's not. Ignorant, well yes, he's definitely ignorant in the Buddhist sense of that word. He probably thinks that he's making a real cute joke that his Tparty Taliban Thugs will go hhahaha guffaw guffaw. You know, sorta the way we make fun of Caribou Barbie. However, make no mistake, he is well aware of how to rouse up the base with all sorts of demagoguery. He is a very dangerous man, who would not flinch one iota to become a theocratic dictator and burn you at the stake for having different ideas. He is a Fascist.

[AlbertCat]

60. sorta the way we make fun of Caribou Barbie.

She only kills innocent animals from a small plane.... not people in a horrible lingering ordeal.

It's nothing like the way we make fun. It's beyond sophomoric and well into cruelly stupid.


When does all this equate to yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theatre? It should be illegal.

[Kablooie]

29. But the loyal stupids of the right vote more often than the educated left.

That's why idiotic messages like this help the Republicans keep control.

[SoapBox]

36. Yup.

[Dont call me Shirley]

30. Stupid = willful stubborn ignorance

[grahamhgreen]

31. Dems to to come out swinging and say ebola was stopped because of Obamacare. In fact, how will

Duncan's bills be paid?

My guess is the private Crapsurance companies will be off the hook, and it will be our social systems that take care of it.

[PatrickforO]

32. Before massive Republican budget cuts to non-military discretionary spending,

which includes the CDC, we'd have been able to nip the outbreak in the bud in Africa, and not have it be spreading. So, basically now we have plenty of death drones, we're on a nice war footing, and we have more national security that any of us would ever want, but the CDC doesn't have enough money to fight the ebola crisis in Africa.

Hmm.

[Alkene]

33. Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Logic-based discernment not being one of the cornerstones of partisan drivel, Muzin's statement makes perfect sense.

[SoapBox]

35. Come on Dems...use this kind of stoopid, against them.

Sheesh, DNC...the Pukes and Baggers just keep coming with this crap...use it against them, to show how batshit STOOPID they are.

Oh I know...spineless.

[stage left]

37. K&R

It takes years of practice to reach this level of stupidity.

[krispos42]

38. Before President Reagan, there had never been a confirmed case of HIV/AIDS in the U.S.

There you have it, folks... Reagan's presidency caused AIDS.


<drops mic, walks away>

[ET Awful]

39. Hey Nick - Before white Europeans, there had never been a confirmed case of Small Pox here.

Go figure . . . .

Also - there hasn't been a single confirmed case of Small Pox or Polio in the US since Obamacare, see how much good it's done?

[Lancero]

40. Here's the truthful version - Before George HW Bush there had never been a confirmed case...

Of Ebola in the US.

The first confirmed cases of Ebola in the US occured in 1989.

Further, before 1990 there had never been a US citizen infected with Ebola.

[tavernier]

44. And never a case of such overt racism

aimed at a POTUS until now.

Do you really think no one has noticed?

[marym625]

45. yes, there were

Someone probably already said that but it's worth repeating

K&R

[wordpix]

46. add: people with pre-existing conditions were refused insurance

that meant they had to pay out-of-pocket for health care and many ended up homeless and bankrupt

[christx30]

48. I know what he means.

Since I switched to crunchy peanut butter, my bus has been late 3 times.

[Bartlet]

49. This clown

is a staffer for Ted Cruz, which means he's too stupid to be a staffer for anyone who isn't a complete imbecile. Here's a clue for the sad little toady, there has never been a confirmed case of Ebola in Spain before Obamacare either, funny how that can happen when they don't even have Obamacare. I guess when you're just shitting out of your mouth it really doesn't matter just how stupid you are.

[Solly Mack]

50. Before Obamacare I had long hair!

But now my hair is short!

Now I know why!

It was Obamacare!

[blkmusclmachine]

52. Crazy is the new normal for the Republican Party. And the DEMS <still> want to seek out "compromise"

with the GOP! Always "compromise." Always.

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

53. stupid is as stupid does...

Hard to believe we're losing to these clowns.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

54. It's not "stupid". It's trolling...

Say something outrageous and giggle over the reaction.

[Cha]

[JayhawkSD]

58. Yeah, but asteroids were hitting Earth.

Before Obamacare hundreds and hundreds of asteroids were hitting Earth, and none has hit us since it went into effect, so Obamacare is protecting us from asteroids. There are still no wild elephants in the United States, either, so clearly Obamacare is still protecting us from wild elephants.

Pretty good trade off, I think: leaving us vulnerable to Ebola but protecting us from asteroids and wild elephants.

[AlbertCat]

59. Before Obamacare...

..... insurance companies would have dropped you like a hot potato the instance they just thought you might possibly have contracted ebola.

[wordpix]

69. Insurance corps were dropping people for pre-existing conditions

forget Ebola---remember the bad old days when people with cancer, Parkinson's, heart disease, etc. were dropped b/c they had pre-existing conditions?

I paid out for decades to the insurance corps and was in perfect health. They made huge profits off me. But then I had to see docs and get a diagnosis for an illness, which turned out to be cancer. The same month my insurance co. started receiving bills for the early consultation/diagnosis phase, it said it would drop me from my contract early. The POS corp gave me 10 days' notice.

Thank goddess I had a Dem rep in my Congressional district, Chris van Hollen. His office staff spoke to the insurance co., which said it was a "typo" about the end date. The co. reinstated me until the ACA was implemented. I was lucky but many people weren't and went bankrupt before Obamacare.

[corkhead]

61. Muzin is almost spelled like Muzlin. Hmmmmm

[libodem]

62. Thanks for the big dose of stupid

Pretty sure I'm inoculated, now. Natural immunity after you are exposed viral media. Yep.

[tclambert]

67. Now they've forgotten Reston, Virginia.

Hell, the movie Outbreak was partly based on that incident. Happened in 1990, as I recall. Four workers infected, all survived. All the monkeys died. Who was President then?

[drm604]

68. Before all of the Republican obstructionism there was never a confirmed case of Ebola in the US.

And that may actually be relevant.
