Daily Rant – Part 2, January 6, 2010
January 6, 2010
I listen to the liberals who call in to the talk shows and realize we will never please them. The good news is they are in the minority. True, they are a loud minority with friends in the House, Senate and White House, but come November 2010 they will see what they are up against.
Up until Obama’s election, liberals have been flying under the radar. True, Pelosi was starting her agenda even when Bush was President, but after the inauguration it was full speed ahead. No amount of tea party protests would dissuade them from doing their dastardly deeds. From government stimulus to corporate bailouts and buyouts, people were upset as they should be.
Now we are up against health care. This is the lesson I want to impart to anyone who will listen. Just as Republicans thought getting someone with an R behind their name elected to office was most important regardless of what they stood for, Democrats are making a similar mistake with the health care “pass it at any cost in any form just so we get a win” mentality.
Republicans made the mistake of accepting the likes of Jim Jeffords (who later switched to Independent but would caucus with Democrats) or Arlen Specter who changed parties AGAIN, this time back to Democrat! Even choosing John McCain through allowing open primaries was a huge mistake and helped get Obama elected. Had McCain won, however, there may not have been as big of an opportunity to change things as there is right now! A chance at a second revolution, if you will.
So let’s look at the Democrat playbook. We now have a bill that Senators had to be bribed to vote for it AND they had to be allowed to opt their states out of the program. How good can it be if they want out? And if it’s that bad, why did they vote for it in the first place? Ben Nelson is not up for re-election in 2010, but could face a recall if Nebraskans get wise. He needs to go now rather than later. Sure his state gets goodies paid for by the treasury, but they will be taxed first to pay for them; out of one pocket and into another. What a great system! So my point is, this “must get something passed no matter how bad it is just to say we won” attitude is going to KILL the Democrat party.
Watch the special elections in January and see if this doesn’t bear out. Places that used to be Democrat will now be represented by Republicans. We already saw it in December’s special elections back east. Let’s just hope it is in time to save our country.
