The Day Obamacare Died
With Chris Christie’s victory in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, we hereby pronounce that Obamacare is undeniably and reliably dead.
UPDATE: I may be Mayor of the gay conservative city in the county of the land of blogs, but it seems that a few coroners have thoroughly examined Obamacare and have averred it’s not only merely dead, it’s really most sincerely dead:
BYRON YORK: In Virginia and New Jersey, Health Care Was A Losing Issue.
Dick Morris: A Deathblow To ObamaCare.
This is a day of independence for us and our descendants! Let the joyous news be spread! A government attempt to overhaul healthcare at last is dead!

Oh Dan, come on. They will still make us eat the sh*t sandwich by January.
My hope is that the Supreme Court will then find mandates and the “public option” unconsitutional (as well they ought to).

Look my employees and I were promised FREE health care and that’s what I want.

I will believe that when I have seen it hung, drawn, quartered, beheaded, staked through the heart, stuffed with garlice, drenched in holy water, burned to ashes, and the ashes buried at a crossroads under eight feet of steel-reinforced concrete.
And I’m willing to help mix the concrete.

President Obama is not watching the election results.
He must be tired from all the work he has been doing.

Like the tea parties he is ignoring THE PEOPLE at his peril. THE PEOPLE get the last word at the polls.

BTW Gene, and so does gold get the last word on Obama’s insane fiscal and monetary policies. $1080 today, a new high.
It’s been a great day all ’round.

The Democrats are the like the Borg in Star Trek TNG, they are relentless.

No, they’re barreling ahead! That pinhead from Florida Debbie Wasserman was just on FOX saying it’s the key to their next victory!

So people voted GOP to protest the lack of a fascist/socialist takeover of healthcare?
Yikes, how low some will go.

Debbie Washerman Schultz aside, the dems on camera look shell shocked. And the media…..holy cow the media except Independent Fox News, most of the MSNBC guys went home at 10pm. The media look like someone shot their dog!

Morally, Ethically, Spiritually, Physically, Positively, Absolutely, Undeniably and Reliably Dead!
I make no comment on the substance of the post, I just had an uncontrollable need to complete the line.

Don’t be so quick. My fear is that the Liberals will see the writing on the wall and be even more determined to ram through ObamaCare on party lines while they are still in the majority.
We need to be afraid – very very afraid.

[...] November 2009 by hamerdinger I have read several posts around the blogosphere that the results of last night’s election point to the death of ObamaCare. [...]

Obamacare is like a zombie or Jason Vorhees. When you thinks its dead all of a sudden it jumps up and ruins your health care.

Well, at least it’s slowing down a bit:
