Even This Cuddly Teabagger Dude Might Vote For Hillary, So He Can Keep His Beloved Obamacare

[Capt. Obvious]

Tyrant Obama sure did set a mighty fine trap for the Republican Party, with their constant efforts to repeal Obamacare! With the full benefits of the Affordable Care Act starting to come to fruition in 2014, and even more this year, people around the country — even those who don tri-cornered hats and hold Gadsden Flags at Koch Bros.-funded tea party rallies — are starting to realize, well, goddamn, look at my general healthcare situation getting better! Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers learned this the hard way when her FaceSpace call for “Obamacare horror stories” was met with a whole lot of “my healthcare is cheaper!” and “my grandmother didn’t die!” and “these are my slut pills now!”

Exhibit A: THIS GUY. His name is James Webb (not to be confused with Jim Webb), he is 51 years old, and he has a tea party/gun-themed YouTube channel called “Hot Lead retired.” In a video posted Tuesday (NOT April Fools’ Day, we checked), Webb, a self-described “charter member” of his local chapter of the Tea Party Patriots, says that he’s facing a tough decision in the upcoming election, and he just may have to abandon his 32 years of Republican voting, because said Republicans want to take away the healthcare that has literally changed his life, for the better. (THANKS OBAMA.)

“If it wasn’t for Obama, and that Obamacare,” he says, “I would still be working.” He explains that he has some serious health problems that would, under the old system, make healthcare extraordinarily expensive for him. However, instead of having to work up until Medicare kicked in, he was able to retire without worrying whether or not he’d be able to pay for his medical care. (THANKS OBAMA AGAIN.)

....

To put this in a little bit of perspective, a perusal of the rest of Webb’s YouTube channel is in order, where we find videos about guns, guns, guns, homosexuals, and also guns. In one video, Webb declares to the world that he is not going to be able to watch that Walking Dead program anymore, due to all the gay kissing, and in another one, he complains that even his damn COFFEE is gay now, and “this madness has to stop!” He just says thank God there’s no Starbucks around his neck o’ the woods, because there’s too much “faggot crap” on the coffee you get there, like rainbow-colored sprinkles and shit. Why won’t coffee stop putting gay culture in our face and in our mouth?!

1. That's perfect. What I don't get is

the old teabaggers who are receiving Social Security and Medicare yet vote against their own interests. It just boggles the mind.

[gordianot]

2. Have seen this several times just one question.

Is he a retired Mall cop?

[3catwoman3]

3. What's that sound I'm hearing?

Scales falling from eyes?

I do hope he works on his health. He obviously needs to.

[napkinz]

4. "The Republican Party ... they haven't done nothing for me."

5. I'm Thinking This is a Trap

A Teapublican associating Hillary with Obamacare with "not working" (as if Obamacare is the same as welfare or SSI).

This is a set up, and they are going to let Dems themselves spread the meme. Think about it.

6. Sounds like a mooching "taker" to me that needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps!!!

So sad that it takes a personal experience to make these people see sense.

7. I thought that too, but it does say he has serious health problems,

implying that it is difficult for him to work.

8. Did he post it from Galt Gulch?
