Bill is a fucking jackass (Obamacare allegory)

Found this on CeeeDub: http://ceedubb.com/2013/10/bill-is-a-fucking-jackass/

Best allegory ever for Repubs and the ACA. Well worth a click.

So, Imagine that the company you work for held a poll, and asked everyone if they thought it would be a good idea to put a soda machine in the break room. The poll came back, and the majority of your colleagues said “Yes”, indicating that they would like a soda machine. Some said no, but the majority said yes. So, a week later, there’s a soda machine.

Now imagine that Bill in accounting voted against the soda machine. He has a strong hatred for caffeinated soft drinks, thinks they are bad you you, whatever. He campaigns throughout the office to get the machine removed. Well, management decides “OK, we’ll ask again” and again, the majority of people say “Yes, lets keep the soda machine.”


Much more at the link.

NSA spying ( ) ...

Then why haven't they had ONE or more votes to defund/repeal either of those?
