You Know How It Is …
… when a song gets in your head and you can’t stop humming it all day long? And it makes you crazy but you can’t stop it?
Obamacare. Same deal. Republicans only, though.
The Tennessee lawmaker who compared Obamacare’s individual mandate to Nazis deporting Jews to concentration camps thinks his critics missed the point.
State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) caused a stir Monday morning when he wrote on his personal blog that “Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of manditory sign ups for ‘train rides’ for Jews in the 40s.”
To his credit, Campfield later added that his statement was misconstrued and he didn’t mean it the Nazi way at all. Not at all. He meant it the whole other way, you know, like …. hell, I’m looking at you because I don’t know what the other way is.
“I regret that some people miss the point of my post. It was not to offend. It was to warn,” he explained.
Well, there ya go. It’s MY mistake. Train rides for Jews in the 40s is not offensive at all. He just says it when he wants to warn us. Probably because he can’t spell “Look out!” And you have to admit that “Look out! There’s health care coming!” doesn’t work up the proper fear people need to have.
Thank you, Tennessee, for taking the heat off Texas today.
