This free poster takes sen. rob portman (R-OH) to church over his brutally un-christian vacillation over the senate republican health care bill. This satirical poster is yet another installation in my “parity or parody in democracy” series. Wile Sen. Portman is considering the gutting of medicaid, costing about $800 billion, he may be bought off with $46 billion in funds to treat opioid addiction, and perhaps a similar amount thrown at, or into, the gaping hole in medicaid. This poster uses the lethal logic that the high priest Caiaphas used to justify crucifying jesus, that is, killing a portion of the nation to save the hole nation. Here is the scriptural text from the poster (in republican-ease):
If we let Obamacare go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then democracy will come and take away both our Party and our christian damn nation. Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! You do not realize that it is better hundreds of thousands die enriching the rich than that the whole christian damn nation perish.” John 11:48-50 (republican jesus inversion)
Let's stop this damnable vision of so-called health care, a health care bill paid for by poor, sick, and elderly Americans as Republicans mirrorly enrich the richest Americans and powerful corporate campaign donors.
