Blaming Ebola on Republican budget cuts: The Ineptocracy Strikes Back
By: John Hayward 10/13/2014 09:08 AM
A second case of Ebola has been confirmed in Dallas, Texas. Somehow, despite medical training and top-of-the-line protective gear, one of the nurses who treated the first patient has contracted the terrible disease. The increasingly overwhelmed head of the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Tom Frieden, mumbled something about a “protocol breach,” although no one is saying what protocol got breached, or indeed what the “protocols” are.
This is not the response expected from their multi-trillion-dollar super-government by the American people, especially not for a highly-publicized problem everyone could see coming from 5,700 miles away (give or take whatever diversions might add to the precise total of air miles from Monrovia, Liberia to Dallas, Texas.) But it’s exactly what every student of the Ineptocracy was expecting, and so is the next step taken by liberals to defend the shabby performance of the Leviathan they love. Overnight, in unison, as though a switch had been thrown on their messaging machine, the Left stopped saying that Ebola is a nothingburger blown out of proportion by the rubes in flyover country… and started telling the dupes in their voting base that Ebola is a horrifying crisis caused by Republican budget cuts.
Here’s an ad created by a “progressive” group called The Agenda Project (at least their name is honest!) attempting to hold just about every Republican in the land responsible for cutting funds to the CDC and National Institutes of Health:
