And Im serious because I asked myself, Which party has helped me out the most in the last, I dont know, 15 years, 20? And it was the Democrat [SIC] Party, Webb lamented. If it wasnt for Obama and that Obamacare, I would still be working.
With Obamacare, I got to retire at age 50 because if it wasnt for Obamacare, I would have had to work until I was 65 and get on Medicare because health insurance is expensive when youve got medical problems, he continued.

(9,865 posts)He's a Plant. He's stoking all the baggers worst most ignorant fears about the ACA and the Democrats by saying he sits around all day and doesn't want to have to work.
He's delivering a "dire warning" that if Hillary wins, then all the lazy people in the country will suck up all your money.
Who the hell can retire at age 50 because of Obamacare?
This is a Rovian/Breitbart type operation.
Can't believe people on this site are falling for this.

Answer: people with not-very-interesting careers.

That's part of the insidiousness of his messagebecause it confirms and pushes the RW theory about all us lazy, liberal "takers". We just want to sit around all day on government hand-outs. It's a get-out-the-vote video against Hillary. Pretty well done I guess.

(111,304 posts)The patriots in the party believe that everyone should work from the moment of birth to the moment of death with no excuses allowed.
Sadly there are plenty of people in similar situations that are too stubborn to switch their votes to the Democrats.

(7,820 posts)The guy just realized the party he'd been derisively calling the "democrat" party for years actually does more to improve his everyday life that his beloved republican party. He'll get there on the name

(80,699 posts)That "Democrat Party" crap HAS to be cut off at the knees. That's one of those sneaky-ass little tactics they've employed against us for YEARS. I correct it every time I hear somebody say it. But I can't shout loudly enough at my TV to fix it there!
That's one reason why I refer to the GOP as the republi-CONS. ('Cuz all they offer is a CON JOB.) I do that because I will decide what to call them. If they're gonna pull that on my party's name, then back atcha, assholes!!!! Have some of that TOO!!! If you think YOU can decide what the name of my party is, then I will do likewise with YOURS. I'll stop, CONS - when YOU do.

Just like the bigoted asshole politicians the Baggers elect every election.

(5,751 posts)They tried to make the ACA sound bad by calling it Obamacare, but this guy is happy with "Obamacare". They've convinced EVERYONE that if elected, the republicans would repeal the ACA, which is starting to instill fear in their constituents that they will lose it.
These republican congresszombies should keep it up. And for all their female constituents, keep up the anti-female, anti-gay rhetoric!!
Dumbasses!

(9,865 posts)This is not real. He's lying about the ACA. Can't you hear that? That's the baggers whole belief system---that people who want the ACA just want to laze around all day and never work.
Hope you heard how many times he said "I don't want to have to work". Or words to that effect.
He's faking all of this to slip in bagger anti-ACA ideology.

(19,926 posts)That's a deal breaker for me. I would like a primary please.
But I love that a Tea Partier is seeing that it's the Dems that have done things for the people, not the GOP. Thom Hartmann is always challenging people to tell him one thing - just one - that Republicans have done that has benefited the working people of the US. He has yet to hear one.

(8,261 posts)I felt this guy was reading a script and it was staged. I don't believe a word he says. It's the Democratic Party and a bagger would have known that. I'm not buying it.

(159 posts)I also was inclined to believe this was a set-up; but only a cursory glance at the rest of his videos inclines me to believe this video is genuine.
