Quote of the Day, insulting analogies edition.


(Via neo-neocon, via Instapundit) Nancy Pelosi:

”It’s like the back of the refrigerator. You see all these wires and the rest,” said Pelosi. “All you need to know is, you open the door. The light goes on. You open this door, you go through a whole different path, in terms of access to quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans.”

So, you know, never you worry about the fact that the wires seem to be hooked up to a baby. Which is crying. And on fire.

Dependency, not education, is the goal of the left

RedBeard Thursday, April 8th at 8:43AM EST (link)

In fact, the more ignorant a person is, the better for the leftie agenda. So all you supporters of Obamacare, forget finding out anything about it. Be good little dependents and let Nanny Nancy wet nurse you.

Er… sorry about that mind picture.

I thought for sure, this comment fit with Erick's post

on Obama outlawing internships.

The comment fits both.

It's never enough

For these RATS and RACCOONS to just destroy every last thing that was once great about this country. They need to LIE about it to our faces as they’re doing it.
We won’t survive this RAT administration’s lies and destruction if we don’t do something BIG.
We need to RAM them with the facts.
Fact: This legislation will collapse this country’s economy (some estimates say we can expect the total meltdown to begin in earnest by 2013).
Fact: The passage of this abortion of justice was illegal, unconstitutional and WILL be repealed when Republicans take full control of congress next year.
And, finally, a FACT for our side: Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama are destined to fail, fail, fail just as they’ve failed at everything they’ve tried to do so far except their Maosist take-over healthcare.

Facts.

Boom.

Imagine if the refrigerator was made using the same methods as health care reform...

kyoufuu (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 9:03AM EST (link)

Imagine the kickbacks given to Westinghouse to use their electronics, bribes paid to GE to outfit it with their lightbulbs. Then, in the end, when someone decided, after paying all that money to get it, they took it apart and looked at it to find that there was no compressor; instead there was just a giant block of ice, hidden in the back which would have to be replaced every few months at a tremendous cost.

That’s a much more apt analogy.

Of course she ignores the reality that the refrigerator was developed over many years by diligent, hard working individuals who used their talents, and not their pull, to build a device that has bettered the lives of people the world over. Forget that. Just think of the fact that the light bulb goes on. As though that’s the most complicated part of the unit.

“I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”

I was thinking the corollary - if Maytag wrote the health bill

E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 12:20PM EST (link)

If Maytag or Westinghouse wrote the health care bill the way they design their refrigerators, I’d be somewhat inclined to at least have MINIMAL faith in what went into it.

Nancy presupposes, like you say, that the Democrats are entitled to some trust.

At least if the refrigerator broke someone competent would be sent to fix it...

kyoufuu (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 1:44PM EST (link)

When the health care reform breaks, we’ll have the same fools who wrote the original bill fixing the problem (barring DOOM, of course).

If the people behind this crap sandwich actually believed in the greatness of America I might be able to keep my fingers crossed that it could possibly succeed – - yeah, I know it’s failed everywhere else but AMERICA hasn’t ever tried it. Trouble is, these people hate America and everything she has ever stood for – - guaranteed epic fail.

except that 30% of the compressors just said they'll quit if this refrigerator is sold.

This is almost too good to be true: “All you need to know (you mind-numbed, simpering, ignorant, bitter-clinging member of the general population and registered voter, you!) is some crap about a refrigerator. Now shut up and reelect me.”

If this isn’t a Vulcan mind-meld from Karl R, then the Botox has actually begun to seep into the gray matter. Either way, cheers!

look at the refrigerator or evaluate its features before we bought it. “Mommy Pelosi” told us to just trust government to give us what we need. How condescending!

 

Pelosi's arrogance IS the fault of voters

TxCon (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 9:29AM EST (link)

Just look at the last two election cycles. Why would she think any different?

 

The old House bill was 1017 pages

renny (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 9:59AM EST (link)

and stands 8 inches high when printed out–of course, it had huge margins, but still.

The Senate law is 2070 pages, so ,y guess is it would print out just under 2 feet thick, and I guarantee NO ONE knows, and Pelosi for sure not, what is in this horror.

Work for the night is coming in Nov. Check local tea parties. They are holding activist training–our own answer to Alynski.

 

Nancy doesn't know the details, why should you?

The O only knows that it will save $3,000 in premium costs, and they all only know that the higher taxes will be paid four years before the plan kicks in.
Oh, and they also know that having spent all that money, taxes will have to be raised again.
But they don’t know about Greece, or don’t want to know.

Liberal?

josephusmyer (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 10:35AM EST (link)

Once again, the left proves that it is anything but liberal.

Liberals believe that leaders are just as fallible as the rest. Pelosi clearly believes that Government can do no wrong. She is thus an authoritarian.

It’s strange that the ‘conservative’ movement displays the commitment to civil and economic liberty that is the hallmark of true liberalism, whereas the ‘Liberals’ certainly don’t.

Don’t call Democrats Liberals. Call them what they are – Lefties.

Look at the back of your refigerator

Hugh (Diary) Thursday, April 8th at 11:34AM EST (link)

and you will not see wires and other stuff. That is of course if it was made in the last 15 or so years. My refrigerator is completely closed on the back like Nancy’s mind. I bet She hasn’t looked at the back of a refigerator in over 40 years. She just once again proves that she is an eliteist prima donna. What arrogance. We must find a way to get her out of the US House so she can go to her owwn house and maybe really look at the back of her refrigerator. No telling what ahe would find.

All Nancy needs to know is who she hands the gavel to next January.

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics.

It’s just that she KNOWS those who support her and Obama are. She is talking to them about all the free goodies they are going to get as long as they help fight the mean old us.

At least she didn’t add “and the food is always there after the maid goes grocery shopping…” or “and we’re thinking that maybe we should just take the door off to make it easier for everyone to access the fridge…”
