"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Now we can prove that Liberals have no shame:
15. "Obama himself ...famously... promised over and over that all Americans who were satisfied with their health care providers and health insurance arrangements would be able to keep them. And the costless benefits he promised would help people not only in their capacity as patients and policyholders, but as taxpayers and citizens.
Speaking to Congress in September 2009, the president declared, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future.” Because of the “skyrocketing costs” of Medicare and Medicaid, he said, “our health care problem is our deficit problem. Nothing else even comes close.” Because the existing health care system “is currently full of waste and abuse,” it will be possible to extend health insurance to 30 million uninsured Americans and improve the coverage and health care for millions more without increasing federal debt. “Reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan.”
16. In 2009 the federal government spent $425 billion on Medicare and $251 billion on Medicaid. Together they accounted for 19 percent of all federal spending that year. If the two programs were indeed full of waste and abuse, citizens would be fully justified in the modest demand that their elected officials treat making Medicare and Medicaid effective and honest as an urgent end in itself, rather than hold the discharge of that duty hostage to the political effort to make those wasteful, abusive programs even bigger.
They would be further justified, as opposed to sickeningly childish and hypocritical, in supposing that if two huge, 44-year-old government programs’ endemic waste and abuse had not been rooted out, there might be good, daunting reasons for that problem’s persistence. Voters would go on to conclude, plausibly, that prudence dictated reducing the waste and abuse first, rather than making massive new spending commitments that were predicated upon reducing it somehow, someday."

Hmmmm....quite a pack of lies, huh?
I've lost track of how many times Liberals have been fools....er, fooled.
I believe it is approaching Avagadro's Number.
