Overrheard in Washington, D.C.


Sen. Mike Lee

“Yes, by God, we Republicans are ready to shut down the entire U.S. government just to keep any more of this Obamacare bullshit from going into effect! Yes, we have voted to repeal it 38 times. Yes, it is the law of the land. Yes, the Supreme Court has said it is constitutional, but we don’t care; we will stop at nothing… to make Obamacare stop! God does not want Obamacare! He told the GOP that. It’s in the bible, dammit. Yes, the Mormon bible, the one we read here in Utah. It is the one with stick figure drawings so we can understand it better. And yes, all the male stick figures have seven or eight stick figure wives around them.”


Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who took office in January 2011. He was a co-conspirator in the plan to raise the U.S. retirement age to 70 and cut benefits as a way to ensure long-term solvency of the Social Security System. Lee has a net worth of about $16,000 and in May 2012 was forced to short sell his dream home.
