Democrat Donkey: I have some deficit reduction proposals... Republican Elephant: Democrats are trying to cut your Obamacare! Democrat: No we're not. Republican: Then they don't care about the deficit! Time Machine Forward to 2012.
Speaking of “I was against it, til I was for it, til I was against it tili I was for it- til THEY were “for” it then I had to be against it cause I didn’t have a clue what it was, so I re-wrote it, then burned it, then re-wrote it, which wasn’t it, ‘cause it din’t matter cause I waaaaaass against it! —cause they were for it!
“Right like the D will ever cut a program. That was not a time machine as much as a in your dreams machine.”
Medicare was pitched as a “government take over of healthcare” back then. It is a government run program. So when we had talks of cutting some of the funding to medicare, which are supposed to have happened and will have to happen regardless, Republicans were quick to now take the stand “they’re cutting your Medicare, don’t touch our Medicare” which was … originally billed as a socialist government takeover of healthcare… much like the current health bill.
Basically history is repeating itself. The insinuation here is that after rallying against it this second time, they will do the same again in the future if there’re any proposed cuts.

The cartoon is accurate and pretty much politically neutral even as drawn. What the/any opposition will do in any future election is predictable.
