DUmmy Sarah Imaboobi Spins An Inept Insurance Bouncy

[GOBUCKS]

DUmmy Sarah Imaboobi, whose skill in the sack has resulted in an exodus from her bedroom like circus clowns coming out of a subcompact, spins a lame bouncy about insurance.  Her writing is so poor, it's really hard to say what point she was trying to make. But the bouncy is so poorly done, it's funny:

My exposure to some really dumb Americans
I don't know why, but I keep encountering Americans that amaze me with their stupidity. Today at work is a case in point.

Today I was in a client meeting, along with my boss and another fellow in our firm. The clients are a married couple.

Halfway through the meeting, my boss asked, "so why don't you have insurance?"

They explained. Neither has health insurance because they cannot afford to pay insurance for him, and as for hers, she couldn't get insurance even if they could afford it, because she is simply 'uninsurable' due to a series of chronic health issues (she has end-stage kidney disease).

So there we are, all 3 of us, listening to her discuss her myriad illnesses, which are why she is denied insurance, when all of a sudden she opens her mouth and says this:

"... and then there's that universal health care, Obamacare, whatever it's called. It's all a bunch of bs! That Pelosi telling us we need to approve Obamacare first so we can then figure out what's in it. Hah! Do they think we're dumb? They'll just tax us to death!"

Our mouths fell open. We generally don't get clients discussing politics, but what shocked the most was the stupidity of this woman. She has chronic illnesses, she is uninsurable, they cannot afford insurance for either of them, and she's criticizing her ONLY possibility of having access to insurance?

And then she's accusing others of being 'dumb?'

How did Americans get so idiotic, become so low IQd?

Sarah Imaboobi really needs attention from coach, or maybe stevenumbers. Her frustration at being unable to hold on to a boyfriend
has made her a very bitter, unpleasant DUmbass.

2. This astounds me.  
The stupidity of some people, primarily republicans, is unbelievable.

3. It's part of a larger mindset that goes: "The government can do nothing right"
Many people believe this in the same way they believe the sky is blue or the sun will rise tomorrow.

 
By George, I think he's got it!

4. I hope you adviced[sic] her of her
error. Told her that her only chance was the Affordable Healthcare Act.

9. Calling Americans "stupid" on a Democratic message board will get us lots of votes in 2012.  
Makes me question the IQ--or maybe the motives---of some folks.

Don't worry about it, DUmmy. No one reading posts at your monkeyhouse is on the fence.

10. She certainly used the usual talking points.
I don't know the origin of the talking points (possibly focus groups? Pollsters? The RNC?), but I hear them again and again:

First, the term "Obamacare." There is no such thing. The term is just a swipe at the president. Used by Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and other presidential hopefuls and GOP members in general.

Secondly, the typical GOP invocation of taxes as an all-purpose boogyman, and without rational of, say, tax rates under various presidents (and who was affected by what changes) and/or the cost of living and how that squeezes the poor and even the middle class.

(And oh, the grim irony of her referring to being taxed to death...).

Thirdly, the swipe at Pelosi and also the reference to finding out what's in the bill after it passed.

I hear/see variations on these all the time. Since they are basically boilerplate rhetoric and have nothing to do with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it's clear they are being fed to the faithful, who duly repeat them.

I think it's cute how DUmmies will dissect a bouncy as if it were true.

15. That is the power of propaganda

It's a de facto bouncy.


Finally, a DUmmy who is embarrassed by such a lame bouncy, the same DUmmy who fears Skimmer's monkeyhouse will lose votes in 2012:

16. Opps. Sorry. I did not realize at first that this thread is meant to be satire.  
Never mind. I just hope the folks on right wing sites who copy and paste it have a good sense of humor.

DUmmies don't do satire.

19. They Believe Anything the Tee Vee Tells Them
   
They were raised to do what they were told, and to believe what they were told without question.
Critical thinking skills are regarded as subversive and strongly discouraged.

 

You think 0bama is a great president and that 0bamacare is wonderful, and you say we have no critical thinking skills. 0bama goes on the tee vee on a regular basis and you goons eat it up.

27. Even my Bush-loving cousin figured it out when he looked at me at his mother's funeral
   
and said, without warning, "My son's joining the marines. Do you think he'll die in the middle east?"

The kid was raised on librul-bashing and war-mongering, and now it's coming home to roost. They "home-schooled" him, which means he's barely literate, and doesn't believe he can get a real career.

Maybe now they'll figure out there was a price for their bigotry, fear and hatred. They're gonna pay with their 18 year old boy.

We've never discussed politics (no point, what-so-ever) so it really surprised me when he said it right to me as I entered the calling hours for his mother. He probably doesn't even know what a librul I am. But he was terrified he'd lose his son, just after losing his mother.

Hey asshole, you have to be literate to join the Marines or any branch of the service, and the military is more of a career than any of you ****sticks could ever hope to achieve, especially since your career ambitions are limited to slipping on the floor at Wal Mart and suing for a gazillion dollars, or living off of govt checks while you sit in the basement eating Cheetos and smoking dope.

[JohnnyReb]

The cousin that raised a Marine is a credit to his mother and his country....The DUmmie, however, probably raised a bunch of government tit sucking criminals and a drain upon their country.

Thirdly, the swipe at Pelosi and also the reference to finding out what's in the bill after it passed.

  She said it, DUmass.  I heard it.  It's on tape.  How you people deny stuff that's right there on YouTube is beyond me.  The rest of us aren't as stupid as you, thank God.  This is no "talking point."  She said it, and it is decidedly undemocratic.  It's totalitarian. 

[ConservativeMobster]

Bouncy.  I may be wrong but end-stage kidney disease qualifies for Medicare/Medicaid and disability.  But again, the supposed clients are republican and they wouldn't know about that hmmm?

[Ballygrl]

A question, have insurance rates comes down thanks to Obamacare?

[Aristotelian]

I love it when there's a mini-bouncy within a bouncy thread.

Accepting for a moment that the cousin actually exists, then good for him for choosing a military career.

As for being semi-literate - several familes at my church home-school, including a boy who is usually server with me. Their literacy far exceeds what I'd expect from 'normal' schooling (and this part of the country is well known for the high quality of its schools)...though I freely admit that they're probably behind their peers in being brain-washed.

Now a government bureaucrat will tell the woman to take a pain pill because she is not worth the money.

Medicare turns down 5 times the number of treatments than private insurance does.

28. People like you, who are so SCARED of life, are the reason our country is in this situation
   
You need to grow a little courage and forge on against the Repigs, and stop shivering in your underwear.

Jesus H Christ! Wimpiness is EXACTLY what we need right now. NOT!!!!!!

Umm, that response makes no sense at all to what she was responding to.

Leftists have no sense of humour and beyond all else cannot cope with being mocked.

She is giving Beth a run for money on being the stupidest woman on the internets.

29. Voting against their own self-interests, exhibiting idiocy, and being proud of it.
   
That's what the Repigs are about.

You have no idea what my self interests are, neither does the govt, that is why I and people like me, don't want govt in control of everything, because no one will do a better job protecting my self interest than myself.

53. They're not stupid, they're selfish! To the point of hurting their selves
along with everyone else. Would that their selfishness only affected them. That would be sweet!

Sometimes, the DUmbasses flash a beautiful symmetry.


Uh oh!! Nutcase nadin has been on thesaurus.com again!

88. Yes, but you do not know what they are subejected[sic] day to day
People are not stupid, more like not aware, Also, and I am willing to bet on this... your clients were not college graduates (not that this is a guarantee, by no[sic] means) and if they were, they have never been exposed to HOW this works. Either in an autodidact way, because of personal interest, or in a formal class.

And it still works with you and me, just not as well

 
Yes!! A new word! To be listed alongside "parenteral" and "sievert" in the Nutcase Hall of Fame!
Oh, Pancho!
