Representative Diana DeGette (D-CO) asked the chair of the House subcommittee that put on the BS show yesterday to hold hearings on Ebola, not once, but twice! Once on Sept 2 and again in early Oct.
“I’ve been on this committee for a long time: I’ve seen SARS, I’ve seen bird flu, H1N1, and I knew this could be happening,” DeGette told msnbc’s Chris Hayes Thursday. “So on Sept. 2, I asked the chairman if I could have a hearing on Ebola. We’re not having a hearing now until two and a half weeks before the election.”
“Only just a few weeks before the election, everybody is now called back to do this hearing, and you know, I will say, Sept. 2, that’s before Mr. Duncan showed up, that’s before the nurses were infected, so maybe we could have gotten to the bottom of some of these protocols before that. And, I don’t know, maybe none of this would have ever happened,”
Where the hell is the media on this?! Nope, they're just parroting the talking points those dumbass Republicans are screaming, TRAVEL BAN! TRAVEL BAN!
Ebola is the October surprise and Democrats are screwing it up!
Instead of talking about an Ebola Czar, why isn't Harry Reid calling back the Senate and demanding confirmation of President Obama's nominee for Surgeon General?! And why aren't they screaming that the Republicans have been blocking him and have cut the CDC's budget?!
Holy Shit!! Once again the Democrats bring a minivan to a formula one race!
Maybe, or maybe not, we might possibly think about naming an Ebola Czar if it's OK with you Republicans? Oh wait, You're screaming about a ridiculous and counter productive travel ban? Oh, we won't rule that out, but we kinda think that maybe travelers might try to go somewhere else so that's a good idea but it just might not be the best way to handle the situation.
What kind of wishy washy crap is that! The Democrats better get off the damn defensive and start screaming about the Surgeon General and the slashed budgets! While the Republicans are holding hearings in the house, where the hell is Harry Reid and the Senate?!
In the mean time, let's not even admit that we're Democrats and actually voted for a Democratic president.
When the hell are you whimpy ass Dems going to realize you're in the fight of your lives, and if you lose, we all lose!!!
GOTV! GOTV! GOTV!
UPDATE: The WH just announced they and the Dems, are caving on the demand for an Ebola Czar, so instead of fighting for a Surgeon General and putting the Republicans on the defensive, they'll name a lawyer to do a doctors job.
Sighhhhhhhhhhhh.
