Liberals, it seems, are ever eager, willing and able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and let me explain what I mean.
The other evening, when I was trying to poll a survey sample of one about the Anointed One’s progress, she was all sweetness and light. She only reserved her vituperation for Joe Lieberman who she described as contemptible because, it was feared, that he would help defeat the Health bill. But the Democrats needed his vote and so they agreed to remove the legislation to which he objected.
Now Joe isn’t my most favorite guy either but the degree of venom from my “pollee” was more than I could stand without comment. But lo and behold, Harry Reid was so desperate for any vote he could get that he was prepared to grant almost anything and he did. And, more of that later.
Did you ever play a game at the fair called “Whack-a-Mole”? It’s silly but I suppose fair games usually are. Anyway, this one consists of a board with a series of holes drilled in it. And through those holes on, what appears to be a random basis, up pops a fake mole or a dilapidated imitation of one.
And then you, the player, has to whack it with a mallet. Depending on the number of hits you get, you’ll win a prize or not. For the most part, it’s not and that is no surprise either.
What is a surprise though, is that PETA hasn’t been all over this already. Or, maybe they have and I just haven’t been to a fair lately.
Anyway, when Joe Lieberman retreated back down his burrow, up popped Howard Dean.
Conservatives have to love Howard Dean. He is indeed a friend when we are in need starting with his primordial scream way back when in a New England primary. And today he continued by calling for the abandonment of the current healthcare proposals. His objection was the deletion of the “so-called ‘Public Option’", much beloved by Dean's base, at Lieberman’s insistence.
Put all this together with all the other stuff swirling around and it takes only a cursory scan of the liberal blogs to realize that there is trouble on the Hill and for the Hill. And for Obama big time!
So, Lieberman got his way about the “Public Option” which means, according to the Left, that Obama is prepared to sell out to the insurance companies. If that’s what it takes.
And, trust me on this, he will along with anything else in order to cement his "legacy".
Abortion via taxpayer funding is also gone. And, although Obama swore on a stack of bibles or Korans or, perhaps an interleaved and diversified selection of both, that, as far as he was concerned, the abandonment of killing feti was for him the third rail. So, that flip-flop is hardly going to endear him to the lunatic Left as well. But Obama doesn’t care about that either.
And, now for one more dirty little secret. The Senate proposal reaffirms the ban on individuals or pharmacies or companies from importing cheaper, already US-approved prescription drugs. So now according to the liberal Left, Obama has sold out to the big pharmaceutical companies. And, as the Left sees it and as I see it, according to his campaign pledges he’s done just that.
But not in his mind. All he wants is a Bill he can sign with the word “Health” somewhere in it. That way he can go to present his first State of the Union report with that on his resume and he doesn’t care how bad the legislation is. And that’s why he will throw anyone and any campaign promise under the wheels of the bus. After all, he ignores his illegal alien and penniless aunt in Boston and his brother in a hut in Kenya.
It’s all about him!
And always was and always will be!
When you know that, you will start to understand why Harry Reid is so desperate to get it done which is why he lashes out with accusations of racism at anyone who dares to defy his master.
However, Senator Reid would do well to remember that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. It was the Republicans who fought to get rid of discrimination and the Jim Crow laws. And it was the Democrats who fought to stop that effort.
Finally, as far as I know, there is still just one Senator on the Hill who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and he is one Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
A Democrat.
