Why the Republican Lies on Health Care Reform are Going to Bite Them Back
April 2, 2010
After more than a year of political battles with the Republicans, Fox News, the Tea Party, and the health insurance industry, President Obama and the Democratic Party were finally able to make health care reform the law of the United States.
It is quite difficult to overstate the importance of this victory for Obama. It’s a legislative victory so huge that it boosts President Obama into the discussion about the greatest Presidents of the past 100 years. Universal health care has been a goal for forward thinking people since Theodore Roosevelt proposed the idea about 100 years ago.
As huge as the victory is for Obama, it’s just as big of a loss for the Republican Party because they put everything they had on trying to take down this bill and they were beat. Far right GOP Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina said that he thought the Republicans could destroy Obama’s presidency if they could take down his health care reform bill. He said it would be the President’s “Waterloo” but as David Frum noted in a recent article, it is now the Republican party’s “Waterloo.”
The reason for this is because all of the outrageous lies that the the Republican machine (including Fox News) told about health care reform only work politically if the bill never becomes the law. Then they can say that they “saved America” from some evil plot and since it was never realized there would be no solid evidence that they were full of it. This is how the GOP won huge in 1994 after defeating President Clinton’s health care reform.
But now that health care reform is law average Americans will inevitably find out that they actually really like the changes since they are extremely positive for most Americans.
The GOP is now campaigning with the preposterous slogan “Repeal and Replace” but this slogan will seem increasingly ridiculous as normal people find out how good the reform actually is. I am confident that a majority of the American people will wake up and realize that the GOP has done nothing but lie about this topic for more than a year and this will probably lead to a very good November for the Democrats this year.
Follow the 2012 Presidential Campaign which will pit President Obama against a Republican such as Mitt Romney.

The Republican Party formed by abolitionists in 1854 take bold steps in securing freedoms for former slaves until the Democrats regain control of Congress. Once in control of Congress and many of the southern state governments the Democrats once again stripped away the rights African Americans wouldn’t again fully achieve until the civil rights movement of the 1960′s.
