Democrats to pass Healthcare at their own peril
There is a lot of this going around right now. Intellectual mistakes and cognitive errors abound. First, the Republicans… Many on the GOP side believe that the people want bi-partisanship to the point where they are willing to take one in the rear. Those republicans would be wrong you see? The public opinion polls show that the American people DO want health care reform, but they do NOT want this bill to pass. Let’s just assume that this bill will pass and a number of Republicans vote for it in the spirit of bi-partisanship, I will guarantee that they will not win their primaries or re-election. For whatever reason, this healthcare bill has been poisoned with kick-backs, buy-offs, union favors and corruptions that would make any Chicago politician proud. This is nothing new in Washington, and this is what the people are fed up with. They’re done. They don’t want this bill and ANYONE who helps this bill pass is going to pay dearly this November. Just sayin’ GOP.
Now the Democrats… I have never seen so many smart people completely unable to learn from the mistakes of the past. The last time the Democrats tried to pass this they got they’re asses kicked in the mid-term elections. They have somehow managed to fool themselves that the reason they lost big time in 1994 was because they FAILED to pass Hillary Care. Idiots. The reason you guys lost in 1994 was because you tried to pass it in the first place. Calling it a different name and making it sound happier isn’t going to help you this time. There is too much information available to the American people now. It’s just too easy for us to see right through this bill even though its almost 2000 pages. Sorry democrats, you will pass this Healthcare reform at your own peril.
Republicans would do well to start campaigning to repeal the legislation as soon as it is signed by President Obama. If they do, I think there will be super-majorities of Republicans in the House and Senate. And they will be able to repeal the legislation over any Presidential Veto. There are going to be so many new Republicans in the House that they can pass a law to force Nancy Pelosi to change her name to Bozo the Clown.
Yeah, I think the American people hate this bill THAT much. But hey, what do I know? I just talk to people and look at the information available to everyone.
Right-o then. So the Democrats are going to use the reconciliation process to pass this legislation. A process that they will tell you the Republicans have used way more than they have. I would wager though, that the GOP used the reconciliation process to pass more popular things like, tax cuts and other things the American People approved of. Not a comprehensive healthcare bill that would ultimately doom us all to excessive national debt, poor quality of healthcare, rationing, and the loss of the control of our lives and liberty.
And even if the GOP did use it to pass unpopular legislation (I have no idea because I haven’t looked it up) it doesn’t make this any more popular now. It’s just a terrible idea and the Democrats are going to pay for it at the polls. And for every day this legislation stays in place we the people will pay for it the most.
Rangel to step aside until after elections
Are we to assume, then, that after the elections (if democrats still control the House) that Rep. Charles Rangel will re-assume his post as the chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee? This is Hypocrisy in action folks. The man is corruption on a stick and his only regret is that his corrupt actions will hurt the Democrats during the election. Of course only THIS time he was busted for ethics violations.
But this is still a serious blow to the Dems credibility (if they had any left) leaving the people of the US the choice of sending them back to power in 2010 or to unseat them and put the GOP back in power. It’s not a happy predicament to be in, but at this point I’d say you have to unseat the Dems and hope there are enough new Republicans to form some kind of ethical, efficient Congress… fingers crossed eh?
Of course if the Dems return to power, we will no doubt see Rep. Rangal back atop his position of power in the House. You know its all about winning elections and not about whats right for the people.
Saul Alinsky
I have been neglectful of my duties to keep this blog updated. For that I apologize.
The big story, for me, is that there is a huge outcry of negativity for the health care proposals put forth by the House. Congress is on a break and the town hall meetings are filled with angry citizens who want the government to back off their health care.
But what’s being said about these people in the town hall meetings? Oh, they’re nothing but a bunch of corporate sponsored political hacks. Or they’re a bunch of loud, angry idiots who are trying to shout down free speech by talking louder than everybody else. They’re just a bunch of thugs.
Think about it for a second. It makes no sense to even say that. There is no evidence of it. There is nothing that would indicate that it is even remotely true. So why even say it?
Saul Alinsky, that’s why. The Saul Alinsky method of dealing with opposition is to “isolate and ridicule” any opposition to the radical liberal cause. That’s why these legitimate citizens are being trampled on by the media and the Democrats in Washington.
If you look back at how they handled the Tea Party protestors you’ll remember they were called “tea baggers, ” a derogatory term for a type of sexual conduct. This fits right into the Alinsky model of thinking. The only thugs here are the Dems in Washington and the people pulling their strings.
Glenn Beck has done a wonderful job at exposing this methodology. He has shown us that while the “Community Organizer” tag that was used to try and ridicule Obama was much more powerful than anyone could have thought. Community organizers have lots of money, and lots of mindless willing foot soldiers. Community organizers are not afraid to throw their own under the bus in order to propel the cause onward. Community organizers use the Saul Alinsky method of reaching their goals and they will bulldoze anything and anybody in order to do it.
So, while the news and the Dems in Washington are ridiculing the people who disagree with them, the people must be strong and stay loud, obnoxious and be heard. The only way to beat these people is to beat them into submission. And if that doesn’t work, then we can beat them right out the door in 2010.
