"San Antonio Doctors Take On ObamaCare, Urge Patients to Vote Out Local Dems"

Guess they are among the 61% of Americans who favor repeal.

— And that’s before rates sky-rocket, and before more than just late-state breast cancer sufferers are told they’re too much of an economic burden to live that extra half year.

But hey, dead people don’t vote. So there’s always that that the government has going for it…

  1. You mean dead people don’t vote Republican right?

  2. cranky-d says:

    Dead people don’t vote? Sure they do. Not only that, they vote Democrat.

  3. sdferr says:

    The letter is real, has been around for a couple of months now, and patients have understandably had mixed reactions to it. They’re visiting the doctor for health care, not politics. The thing is, though, ObamaCare has politicized health care to a degree Americans have never seen.

    It’s funny, since the left has for decades insisted that politics take over everything, so that we might be watching an episode of NCIS and simultaneously get a lecture on George Bush’s Iraq war policy, or an episode of Law & Order to encounter a harangue about Global Warming, now the dentist has a patient trapped in the chair with a clamp and suction tube in their mouth to find themselves getting an unbidden discursion on the free market and Hayekian economic theory.

  4. dead people don’t vote

    They do in Webb County and Duval County. Demorat strongholds both.

  5. Bob Reed says:

    When I lived in Maryland, I remember that in every close election it would come out a few months later that 10k dead people had managed to vote in the city of Baltimore…

    Of course, that was generally long after the desired candidate had been installed in office. Folks would act like they were shocked, shocked!, that it had happened, but no steps were ever taken to rectify the problem or substantially prevent it from happening again.

    ‘Cuz, you know, one can never be sure when the “wrong” candidate might make a race closer than the Democrat machine likes it to be…

    I hear tell it happens in Illinois too. No really, in Chicago. Can you believe that?

  6. Bob Reed says:

    DEATH PANELS!11!11 Palin was right.

    Check-out clerks at grocery stores are next.

    Nose-ringed waif, while she scans and bags:”Hi Mrs. AverageAmericanVoter! How are you today? Hey, have you seen Stanley Kurtz’s new book on Obama’s radical socialist views and past? It’s killer.

    Countdown until they get a visit from a representative of the body that regulates them in three . . . two . . . one . . .

  9. Pablo says:

    I was discussing the matter with my pharma rep BIL last night. The medical professionals with whom he deals exclusively have, to a man, a “We’re fucked.” attitude about ObamaCare.

  10. Jim 'n San Diego says:

    We either need an outreach program for dead voters or to keep them dead on election day.

    The predictable Dem response will be that Republicans want to disenfranchise dead people.

    Poppycock. I saw a number of “medical professionals” in white lab coats behind the Golden Urkel demonstrating their support for Obamacare.

    At least most of the dead voters have a valid state-issued form of Identification.

    And Chinese restaurateurs with your pick-up order.

    Mr Chen, on the phone: “Ah, uh huh, two order nummer 5 dinnah! Good, so, wi’h nummer 5 dinnah you gih Ludwig von Mises criticism of government controlled economies! No substitutions! You like? Ah, good.”

  14. Spiny Norman says:

    In Washington, DC, if you want to release news so it doesn’t get much coverage, do it Friday afternoon. If you want to really stick it to the American people, do it after Election Day. Apparently, the Food and Drug Administration is following the playbook.

    Late Friday, the FDA announced it had postponed for 90 days — and until after the Election — a decision whether to ration the later stage cancer drug Avastin based on cost. With poll numbers that 60 Plus rolled out earlier in the week this is not a shock.

    Well, now that the cat is out of the bag, conservative radio and TV pundits should be shouting about this far and wide. Then, naturally, the clowns at MSNBC will sneeringly mock anyone who thinks politics might be involved…

  15. Squid says:

    I’m still waiting to see the crowds of Wimmin’s Studies majors marching with picket signs reading “KEEP GOVERNMENT IN MY UTERUS!”

  16. bigbooner says:

    The nice thing about dead voters is that you don’t have to give them an “I voted” sticker afterwards.

  17. pdbuttons says:

    dead voters can’t see whats over the horizon when
    they’re laying horizontal

  18. Silver Whistle says:

    the Golden Urkel

    That sounds like it would have a frothy head and a bitter aftertaste.

  19. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “That sounds like it would have a frothy head and a bitter aftertaste.”

    – More like an inflated head and an aftertaste promised but never delivered.

  20. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – The other puzzling thing about the dead voter demographic is that they always seem to vote as a block, and always for the same party. This phenomena should be investigated for voter irregularities.

  21. Blake says:

    SW,

    Speaking of frothy heads, check this out: http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2010/08/page/6/

    The referenced brewery sells or sold Whiskey Tango Foxtrot beer.

    Enjoy.

  22. Blake says:

    Personally, I think the dead should run for office. With some effort, the dead could attain a majority and the general population could enjoy the prospect of elected officials being unable to meddle in our lives.

  23. Silver Whistle says:

    I’ll have a pint if you’re buying, Blake, even if it has a whiff of smelly hippie about it. Beer’s beer, after all.

  24. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – “Do you have rights when you’re dead? Does the Democratic party have the right to use your vote if you don’t object?…..These and other 6 foot deep questions, Today on Ophra….”

  25. Swen, oversexed heathen black Norwegian says:

    Oh good, no one’s made the “He must be Teh Messiah, look how many voters he raised from the dead” quip yet and I so wanted to contribute to the thread :D

    But seriously, I actually did get a political lecture with my optometric exam today. Fortunately, we see eye to eye.
