Republican Tea Bagger and freshman Congresswoman, Renee Elmers, ran her campaign just like every other nut slapping Republican out there, repeal the socialist Affordable Care Act at all costs. She is so against what she calls "socialized health care" that she has decided to partake in it herself. But not for the reasons you might think. Oh no, Rep. Elmers is gladly using her socialized medicine because she thinks her $174,000 a year (minimum salary) is not enough to pay for a private plan.
Of the 100 or so new Republicans in Congress this year, all of which campaigned to repeal President Obama's signature health care reform package, only 14 have opted out of the socialized plan to pay for a private Patriotic plan. If that number doesn't sound hugely hypocritical, consider that less than two weeks ago 242 Republicans voted to repeal the ACA. Only 11 of those 242 have opted out of their tax-payer funded plan.
None of this is surprising to regular Fold Blog readers. Tea Baggers are anything but small government conservatives. And Republicans are against anything but tax-payer funded health care for themselves. Just please, whatever you do, don't judge such hypocrisy as a party problem.
