In a typical piece of broken logic, right-wing cartoonist A.F. Branco has decided that Obama is responsible for broken condoms everywhere. That's right, in a recent cartoon that apparently is supposed to be "funny" if you're a republican, he actually tries to blame Obamacare for a guy getting an STD on the grounds that all the free birth control is going to make women sleep around more, and therefore contract more STDs. Of course, if the guys were using condoms in the first place then these women wouldn't be getting STDs or be able to pass it on to men if they did have them. But let's forget medical science, because it clearly has a "liberal bias". Clearly, Obama must be using the NSA to sabotage condom factories, so that more condoms will break, creating more STDs, so that more people will want to enroll in Obamacare. Only, the cartoon has already anticipated that, because it complains that the healthcare.gov website doesn't work. So it is also Obama's fault that this guy has never had government subsidized healthcare, which republicans fought against tooth and nail, but now he needs. I seem to recall Mitt Romney trying to argue that you can't wait until your house burns down to buy fire insurance. When even Mitt Romney makes more sense than the current batch of republicans then you know that their political philosophy is in trouble.
By the way, Mr. Branco also complains that the healthcare.gov website is not working, but then how did these women in his cartoon get their free birth control. Furthermore, why are they complaining about not being able to get on the website when they opposed any kind of government healthcare in the first place. If you work at a job that already provides healthcare, or if you make more than four times the poverty limit then you can't even qualify for this government healthcare. So if republicans weren't all a bunch of trailer trash losers, and had real jobs then they wouldn't be worried about buying health care on the exchanges. If republicans really were rich, as opposed to just always voting to give tax breaks to the rich and ship their own jobs overseas, then they would also be able to afford healthcare themselves without going to any federal website to buy it.
