How To Take Back America, From Americans?
Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country – and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians. ~Charles Krauthammer
Now I am confused? Who exactly are WE taking back America from and who are we giving it too Again? Irony of this Republican conference held last month, is they are only perpetuating the US vs THEM problem that is ripping the United States in two! Is that their goal? Is that why they are dreaming of a military coup to take the power away from the liberals?[*] So if we can’t keep power through democracy, we will take power through a forced dictatorship! Guess Newsmax didn’t have the rocks to stand by their guy John Perry’s craziness.[*]
My Question is, do the Republican honestly think moderates are going to be ok with their vigilante tactics to sink Health Care Reform? Republicans continue to run the same playbook of their typical smoke screen tactics, with their Death Panels, Abortion, Communism smears! Their only goal is to distract from the real pressing issues at hand! Most intelligent people I meet regardless of their party affiliation agree health care reform is needed. Grandma Fran, who’s ass is permanently fixed to the couch when her favorite Fox News Blow Hard is yacking about the latest conspiracy theory, maybe sold! But most intelligent America are NOT SOLD on these theories, they may have some concerns as they did with Medicare, Social Security, ect! Real questions and concerns can’t be addressed because of the child like check out lane temper tantrums the republican are throwing. Glenn Beck should just get on the floor and start kicking and screaming… Oh wait
Was it any surprise when Republican finally admitted they just want to sink any health care reform yesterday? [*] This is probably the most honesty we have gotten from the Republican in a long, long time! Republicans have been “on tilt” since November! No Republican wants Health Care Reform, that would all but kill the Health Insurance industry! They would rather have a Public then have Health Care Reform. WHAT YOU SAY?!? But, I thought all the outrage was about the Public Option? NOPE! If common sense reforms, which most people would agree is needed where put into place Health Insurance would cease to be profitable! They would no longer be able to deny coverage to the sick, which would greatly hurt their ability to be profitable!
Why did Insurance companies never go on the attack against the evils of socialism for the elderly? Because Insurance Companies love Medicare, WHY? They don’t want to cover seniors anyway! WIN WIN for them! Seniors cost to much to cover and they VOTE, they want them happy so they don’t make any waves for their people!
If the kind of practical Health Reform were to happen, Insurance companies would cry for a public option! They don’t want to be forced to cover sick people! The Republicans want everyone to believe the public option is about covering lazy free loaders on welfare. While abuses are unavoidable with any program is a reality, just look at TARP! This is about covering sick people in our country which Insurance companies do not want to cover anyway! I guess they should have tried harder not to get cancer. YIKES! I guess Alan Grayson had a point since Republican said they would oppose health care regardless of whether you met their demands! Yikes again!
This is going to push the Democrats to go reconciliation if they can’t get the 60 filibuster proof vote. I think if Democrats get a Health Care reform bill through, they ensure more defeats in future election for the Republicans. They are leaderless, factioned beyond reconciliation, with the extreme right hijacking the party and under mining the main base of the party. This conference is an act of desperation and should be called, taking back our party and finding a leader conference.
