Once Again Democrats Change The Boogeyman and Victim

Liberals always need a boogeyman and a victim because they can never convince others to follow their path based upon merits of their cause. In the posting of August 4th, I commented on the tactic of Obama, Pelosi and the liberal Democrats in changing the "boogeyman" and the "victim" while trying to stampede Congress and the public into accepting ObamaCare.
The FIRST BOOGEYMAN, in the attempt to evolve to a government-run single-payer health care system, was the current system cost and quality of health care. It turns out that most people, 68% by recent poll, rate their current health care as good to excellent. The FIRST VICTIM was the 47 million uninsured. Information started to come out that many of the 47 million were either: illegal aliens, or already qualified for Medicaid, Medicare or SCHIP, or could afford health insurance but had made the choice to not purchase insurance. The remaining 15 million or so legitimately uninsured who needed help cold get it with a less disruptive solution, such as vouchers to be used for private health insurance.
The Liberals then concocted a SECOND BOOGEYMAN, this time the big bad private health insurance companies who were supposed to be taking advantage of the SECOND VICTIM, everyone who has private health insurance. Around this time, some health experts, a few media people and, surprisingly, even a few Congressman actually read the various House versions of the complex 1100 page proposed health care bill. The facts started to come out that the bill indeed involved huge deficit spending (confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office), contained a "government option" which would drive private insurers out of business over time and lead to a single-payer government-run system and would promote rationing of health care or even permanent withholding of certain health care for those on Medicare or approaching Medicare age. Spontaneous protests were sparked at town hall meetings and elsewhere, perhaps some organization was involved, but this appears to be minor, and Democrat Congressman who supported the ObamaCare bill were getting angry feedback from their constituents.
The Liberals switched to a THIRD BOOGEYMAN, the protesting citizens themselves, who were labeled as "Nazis", "un-American", "organized trouble-makers", "unruly mobs", "rich capitalists in Brooks Brothers suits" and so on. And we had a new THIRD VICTIM, the liberal Democrat Congressmen and those citizens who were pro-ObamaCare. The new class of victims were just being terrorized and shouted down by these Nazis, etc. Obama, The Great Community Organizer from Chicago, wanted these organized critics to shut up and "just get out of the way". Obama only likes organized groups if they help get him elected and support his socialist agenda, like the AFL-CIO , SEIU, ACORN and the Black Panther Party.
Right around the corner and coming next is the FOURTH VICTIM, that will be Obama himself . Watch for the FOURTH BOOGEYMAN, it will be a majority of those who opposes ObamaCare, not because ObamaCare will be a disaster for America but, because they are racists and cannot accept a Black president.
DON'T BE DIVERTED BY THESE BOOGEYMAN AND VICTIM TACTICS. STAY FOCUSED ON THE FACTS ABOUT OBAMACARE AND WHAT IT WILL MEAN TO YOU. There are a dozen or so postings on this blog that comment on the health care issue itself; if you haven't seen them, then check them out going back to June 2nd.
