Get ready for Obamacare! Whatever it winds up becoming …
Now that the GOP has officially surrendered on all fronts in the fight to defund U.S. President Barack Obama’s socialized medicine legislation, the time has come to feel the burn.
Back in 2010 we were told by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that “we have to pass the bill so that you can, uh, find out what is in it.” Well the bill passed … all 906 pages (and 380,000 words) of it.
Since March 2010, though, the Obama administration has promulgated more than 100 regulations associated with the new law – spelling out how it is to be implemented. According to CNS, those regulations contain a lot more detail than the bill itself.
How much more detail?
“At an average of 1,100 words per page, the 10,535 pages of Obamacare regulations consist of approximately 11,588,500 words,” the website reports.
Wait … WHAT? Eleven million words?
Talk about “finding out what’s in the bill.”
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has been bashing the cavalier, extralegal manner in which Obamacare is being enacted for months – referring to some of its arbitrary delays as “unconstitutional.”
“The president doesn’t get to write legislation, and it’s illegal and unconstitutional for him to try and change legislation by himself,” Paul said at the time.
We agree … of course that’s exactly what is happening here. And with the nation’s chief justice in his back pocket, we doubt Obama and his cronies are going to pay the Constitution much mind as they proceed to ram this abomination down the throat of the American free market.
In fact we suspect there’s something in those 11.5 million words that’s just for you …

Jesus, are we all going to need to retreat to BigT’s bunker and hide in a corner? Please tell me he still has some tin foil left!
The Repuklicrats have no place to hide.
It won’t be a big deal, the 300 people who will actually have been able to sign up by the deadline will understand.
ha ha ha ha ha the GOP LOST bigtime ! Have fun being the minority party for generations to come !
That’s the price you will pay for your unreasonableness, and your naked attempt to undo the social contract binding Americans together since the 1700’s.
Can’t wait for the ACA to go into effect. Best thing since Medicare. So why are you tea baggers against it? Oh you are STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you fred6?
No arsehole. I’m Numero Uno Fred!!!!!
That’s right fred, everyone else is stupid, you really can get something for nothing.
To quote the queen of tea baggers, Sarah Palin, “YOU BETCHA”. Why does Sarah like black guys????
Probably for the same reasons you do.
Can’t wait until people who desire a free country again decide to leave. We’ll see how well the tit suckers do when the well runs dry. I am guessing a little larger EBT fiasco, or Katrina scene. Ape eat Ape!!!!!
Take a look at your personal policy IF you have one, then imagine trying to insure millions of peeps. We know why the pubs are trying to stop it, it will be popular, they will sink in polls lower than they are now, which btw is why they caved..
