Want to hear (or read, I suppose) something funny? Republican Idaho Representative Raul Labrador recently made the following statement: "It's absolutely false that the GOP sought an Obamacare repeal. We have never asked for a full repeal of Obamacare..."
Yet the following press release can be found on the representative's own website:
"Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) announced today that he is a cosponsor of a resolution introduced by Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) to fund the government for Fiscal year 2014 while fully delaying and defunding Obamacare until 2015. The Graves resolution - which has 59 cosponsors - would prevent a government shutdown from taking place after September 30, 2013, when current funding for the government expires.
'If there's any single issue that can unite House Republicans and has the strong support of the American people, it's getting rid of ObamaCare,' said Rep. Labrador."
No, the GOP never wanted to repeal Obamacare; they simply wanted to get rid of it.
"Honey, I never said I wanted to divorce you; I just wanted to separate from you for the rest of our lives so I could be with someone else." Yes, the difference is striking!
Labrador's quote is especially humorous given the fact that the Republican-controlled House has voted to repeal Obamacare not once, not twice, not three times, but a grand total of 46 times. So, what, were those 46 votes just an extended version of an April Fool's joke?
"All those taxpayer dollars we spent on the 46 repeal efforts - it was all a joke! Aren't we funny? Ha-ha. You can laugh now. Come on. Don't be so uptight about this. It was only $50 million or so. Why are you all leaving? Don't go yet! It's time for my knock-knock jokes!"
In other news, Representative Labrador and his brethren have said the following:
- "We don't want to defund Obamacare; we just want to not fund it at all."
- "We don't want to delay Obamacare; we just want to make it disappear for a while."
- "We didn't want to shutdown the government; we just wanted to close it for business."
