Bill Maher on the GOP Doomsday Prophesies - This is great!!

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/09/19/maher-gop-prophecies/

Republicans love to prophesize doom. They take any action or proposal that the left offers and regurgitates it as a sermon predicting the coming apocalypse of the United States. Of course, just like the doomsday prophecies of any religious cult, they never pan out. Those failed prophecies were the subject of a hilarious segment on last Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Maher skewers the GOP’s failed prophesies and their “political religion.”
Maher points out some of these failed predictions from the right, saying:
“During the last election Mitt Romney said, ‘If President Obama is elected you will not be able to get a job.’ But unemployment is now lower than it ever was under Reagan. It’s Romney who can’t get a job. Mitt also said if we bailed out the car companies you could kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. But we did bail them out, and it’s doing better than ever.
Donald Trump said Obamacare would be a job killer. But it didn’t kill jobs. It didn’t result in death panels. It didn’t bankrupt the states. It didn’t bankrupt the nation. It didn’t bankrupt Medicare. It didn’t bankrupt the insurance industry. Here’s what actually happened. Insurance companies got richer; some black kids got inhalers, and John Boehner had to pay more taxes on his tan.”
