Editing Note: Sheesh, I should proofread more carefully. Fixed some small things and finished the last sentence in the last paragraph before my last two lines. It's what happens when I rush.
Wow! Just wow! Democrats, we are often (and by often I mean in just about every thing written or reported about them in the MSM) told, are for the little guy. They must be for democracy because they get a little testy if you say "the Democrat Party" instead of the more populist sounding "Democratic Party". They take great pains to make you think they mean democratic with the "little d". The inference is that they reflect the will of the electorate. It's becoming increasing clear that that is more illusion than reality.
In truth, all political parties are about power and keeping it. The Republicans in the past few years succumbed to the glittering fob of spending money in the hopes of gaining some favor with the populace and the net result was the Democrats, who promised us fiscal responsibility if we voted the bums out, was returned to power. Of course, barely over a year into their total domination of the Congress and Whitehouse, they have managed to out deficit the previous 43 administrations and are on course to creat a deficit larger than all of them combined. Hope and change but, I digress. This isn't specifically about spending, it's about how the Democrats couldn't care less how you think or what you want. Stupid prole!
The Democrats are about to try, by any means legal or illegal, constitutional or unconstitutional, to pass some kind of health care reform bill. Never mind that most of the people in the country are dead seat against the government taking over health care and especially the Senate Bill, they are going to pass it and you will like it.
The Democrats like to blame their failure on their inability to get their message out, not on their bad legislation. They truly think you and I are so stupid, we wouldn't come out of the rain unless they pass a law telling us to do so. They blame talk radio, Fox News, and anyone else that disagrees with them for disseminating lies. Never mind that the MSM is, and has been, in the tank for the Democrats for decades. Never mind that MSNBC is all Leftists, all the time. It's the messenger not the message. They also say their failure thus far is that people are bewildered by the process, not the bill and once we get past their gyrating antics to pass the bill, we'll all love it 5 years down the road from now when it actually starts to take affect.
This brings us down to the parliamentary shenanigans that will play out this week. They put a bill on the table (which includes a form of "death panel", a public option and take over of the student loan system). All of this is supposed to be amended in the Rules Committee. Apparently there are rules and then there are rules and it seems that only the Rules Committee is the only one who really knows them.
I consider myself reasonably intelligent and frankly, I'm somewhat mystified over this whole process. Fox News has a piece that tries to explain it all. I understand it, but the whole entire process is as arcane and convoluted as anything I've ever encountered.
Regardless of the outcome, the Democrats do not give a damn about how anyone thinks on this issue. They want to "fix" healthcare and they are in charge and by all that is unholy, they intend to do just that. They don't care because most of them know that it will likely never be repealed and when they regain the majority at some future date they will attempt to add even more.
So shut up, you stupid prole! The Democrats know what is good for you!
