Has anyone else besides me noticed

[Mr.Bill]

that the people who are clamoring for Obama to do something about the ebola crisis are some of the same ones who wanted the government to keep their hand off health care a few years ago?

[SheilaT]

1. You're probably not the only one.

Keep in mind those ones clamoring about Ebola are also some of the same ones screeching, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare?"

The ignorance is sad. And dangerous.

[wyldwolf]

2. It's a state issue

[Mr.Bill]

3. Which means so far,

Rick Perry is in charge. Scary.

[kestrel91316]

4. Yep. That's what I keep telling them. It's vital that we keep evil big gubmint

out of the ebola fight. States need to be completely free to address this without cumbersome government meddling.

Maybe they can get corporations to help fight ebola?

[Mr.Bill]

6. If corporations are people,

can they catch ebola?

[kestrel91316]

7. We can always hope, right?

[Generic Brad]

5. He'll get his Surgeon General on that right away

Oh, wait. That's another one of those perpetually blocked cabinet appointments.

How's that working out for Red State Texas?

8. It has nothing to do with healthcare, they just want him to shut the border and deny entry

Conservatives are not looking to find a cure for Ebola. They just want the borders closed to Africa and let Africa deal with their own issues.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

9. Yes, I guess even they will admit that --

-- "Big Government" is useful when it comes to controlling women and dealing with possible epidemics. I almost said "public health threats," but manufacturers create public health threats every day and of course that's perfectly acceptable because MONEY!

[MontyPow]

10. I'm hoping Democrats will point that out every chance they get.

Along with pointing out the effects of the austerity movement and lack of a Surgeon General.

[Skittles]

11. the same ones who want to do away with the CDC too

hypocrites, every damned one of them

[NutmegYankee]

12. Remember how the "small gov." nuts went apeshit that the Gov. wasn't doing enough for the oil spill?

That's their MO. All the bennies, no paying for it.
