The inside of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's mind must be a lot like Disneyland. It stands apart from the rest of the world - a colorful, carefree, fanciful place where imagination has triumphed over the reality in which real people spend the majority of their lives. There's simply no other way to explain the DNC chairwoman's latest claim.
Brace yourself, because Wasserman Schultz's hubris here is simply astonishing.
"There was nothing about what President Obama - or that I or any other Democrat supporting the Affordable Care Act - said that was not true."
Yes, that's a real quote. Let's check the record, shall we?
Democrats told us that Obamacare would lower rates and deductibles. That was not true.
Democrats told us that the signup process would be a few simple clicks on a website. That was not true.
Democrats told us that snail mail and telephone signups would be just as simple. That was not true.
Democrats told us that the American people supported the legislation. That was not true.
Democrats tell us that the American people still support the legislation. That is still not true.
...and of course, there's the whopper. It is, quite possibly, the single greatest, and most oft-told, bald-faced lie in the history of the White House.
Democrats, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and President Barack Obama told us that "If you like your plan, you will be able to keep it. Period." That was - and is - not true.
Yet, Ms. Schultz has the audacity to appear before her MSNBC allies and claim that no Democrat who supports Obamacare has ever lied about anything?
I often write that Obama and his cronies must have some kind of mental affliction that allows them to easily disassociate themselves from reality. Usually when I do this, I'm at least half-joking. Now however, as the endless array of Obamacare lies unravel before us - and the administration faithful continue to deny the existence of a single falsehood - I'm honestly starting to wonder.
Is it possible that these people really have some sort of clinical, pathological disorder? If not, do they not understand how hopelessly out-of-touch they sound?
Ms. Schultz's complete comments - including the ground-breaking concept that web-based signups could "arguably" be working better - appear below. Seriously. "Arguably?"
Enjoy the insanity.
