Tea Party freshman invokes 'chains of ObamaCare'


Tea Party freshman Morgan Griffith of Virginia said the following:

“As Virginians we did not accept the chains of George III nor will we accept the chains of ObamaCare.”

Here's what he had to say today:

"I believe the minimum essential coverage prevention penalty is unconstitutional. I took an oath to uphold the constitution. This time last year as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, defending that Constitution, I was proud to cast my vote for House Bill 10, which mandated no Virginian shall be required to buy health insurance. Our Attorney General has joined the fray and filed suuit in court and is winning.

"As Virginians we did not accept the chains of George III nor will we accept the chains of ObamaCare. I yield back my time."

1. Look at his face.
It is the face of the rightwing fringe that wants to rule this country with anger instead of brains. It makes me sick.

3. Oh man. I can't believe the Democrats let this happen
I can't fucking believe it.

We had to suffer through this same shit with "HillaryCare"

If Single Payer was off the table, if there wasn't going to be a public option, why didn't they just "reform" the current for-profit insurance system with some consumer protections?

:banghead:

4. I reply
"AS AN AMERICAN WE DIDN'T ACCEPT THE CHAINS OF GEORGE III NOR WILL WE ACCEPT THE CHAINS OF THE TEA PARTY!!" See the capitals mean I'm yelling that means I'm important right? Although the statement is true.
