ARROGANT, SECRET PLAN TO GO AHEAD WITH HEALTH CARE PLAN

Word is leaking out of the House of Representatives that plans are underfoot to go ahead and pass the current version of the Health Care Plan, using the Reconciliation method in the Senate with 51 votes. In reading between the lines, it appears to me that the February 25th “summit” is designed to be a dog and pony show. The Republicans can’t back out now. Obama, Pelosi and Reid will sit there with their condescending smiles and arms folded while listening to what the Republicans have to say, and then the pre-designed media blitz will start off with the three of them deriding the plans put forth by the Republicans as being “stupid and obstructionist,” and then they’ll fake utter outrage at their “blatant failure to come to the table in a bi-partisan way,” and they’ll ram the current plan through both Houses within 48 hours and follow that up with triumphant remarks about how they saved the country.

This move gets them past the “We’ll post the whole thing on the Internet for the country to read and see” promise that Obama made and sets the scene for passage before we can mount a strategy to stop it.  It also provides a televised stage for them to showcase their sincerity and begin their attacks, in a subtle way, against the Republicans. 

Anthony Weiner, (Representative from New York), was on TV yesterday defending the move with more of the “Americans don’t understand what’s best for them, we can’t sit by and do nothing, it hasn’t been explained in a proper way,” line. Weiner said it doesn’t matter what the Constitution says about a 60 vote requirement, a mere majority should certainly be enough in this country, and that’s 51 votes. When asked what the overwhelming majority of Americans who adamantly oppose the plan as it exists, will think, he basically said: “They’ll have to get over it.”


Of course, that begs the question of what our reaction will really be. We think, “Aren’t they aware of the fact that they will all get chased out of office?” And that is the point. What happened in Massachusetts and in the days after, what the polls say, and the number of incumbents who are announcing they will not seek reelection… All of these things have already convinced them that their future prospects in Washington are already non-existent. Therefore, in their minds they have nothing to lose by going ahead with this really shitty move against American democracy, do they?

And, who do you think has devised this grand scheme to catch us totally off-guard and flat-footed? Nancy Pelosi? I hate to say it, but she doesn’t have the ability to strategize her way out of a wet paper bag. Harry Reid? Maybe. Obama? Most likely. I think Obama, Emmanuel and Holder came up with it and ran it by Reid and he liked the idea, and then they told Pelosi how it was going to play out. Pelosi, unable to contain herself at the thought of shoving something like this up our “Astroturf” rear ends, could not resist letting the cat out of the bag, and that’s where the leak seems to have originated.

Now what?

The arrogant audacity of these Benedict Arnolds cannot be overstated. They have consistently lied to us about what the contents of the Bill have been at various stages. They have concealed or misrepresented the true costs. They have even stonewalled on “transparency.” They’ve said one thing and done others. They’ve pulled every dirty trick in the book. This latest revelation should certainly come as no surprise. They are charlatans, traitors posing as patriots, Beelzebubs posing as archangels.

We may have to get on trains, buses, planes, horses, and donkeys…whatever it takes… and get our fannies back there to Pennsylvania Avenue to flood the streets with angry protests. That day may come, very soon. We need to be prepared to march through the halls of Congress and look these scums straight in the eyes and let them become fully and personally aware of our angst. This “crisis in the making” may ultimately be the seeds of a real revolution against the incumbents. But, we need to be careful; Obama may seize upon our anger that HE created to turn us against our own Constitution.

Before we reach the point of such action, we need to exercise every reasonable effort that we can to get the message across without creating a showdown on the Capitol steps. We need to fax, call, write, email every Congressman and Senator in Washington, whether or not they are from our state, and we need to totally vent our rage over this scheme. We need to do it now, today. Forgo the cost of a 12-pack or a bottle of good wine and use the money to unload on these worse than senseless beings. Don’t mince any words and be sure to send a copy to your local newspaper when you do it.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, urgently submitted.
