In just a weeks time the 111th Congress will reconvene and Democrats in the House and Senate should stand up and pass health care reform. They should make it their first order of business. They should do it immediately. Once passed Obama should sign it into law immediately.
Why not?
The timing is perfect. Obama wants it, nay demands it before the end of the year. The far-left wing of the party (you know the one’s running the show now) want it and have wanted it for decades and they’re in control.
They control the Senate to a point that Republicans are powerless to do anything to stop it.
They control the House to a point that Republicans are powerless to do anything to stop it.
That is a mathematical fact. Again: Republicans cannot stop passage of health care reform. They do not have the votes. So, dear Dems I say, “Pass It Now. Pass it here.”
You’ve spent the past few months, and all of your “break”, blaming Republicans for the lack of health care reform. They can’t stop you. So pass it.
You’ve spent the past few months shouting down your own constituents and calling them “Mobs". So who cares about them? Pass it.
You say there is no genuine opposition to health care reform. All of you; Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Rangle, Doggett, all of you say that there is no grassroots movement to stop health care reform. Okay, let’s assume you’re right. Why are you just standing there bleeding? Do something. Pass the bill!
Your political opponents can’t stop you. There won’t be a backlash from voters because you’re on the record daily proclaiming that there is no genuine opposition from the people, so surely you can’t be worried about losing your phony baloney job. Can you? You’re smarter than we are anyway, because as you’ve pointed out the only people who do oppose health care reform are “misinformed” using “misinformation” or “distorted information” or have been organized by a vast right-wing conspiracy because we plain old people can't possibly think for our little selves. Insert a pat on the head here from Obama to all of us unwashed masses. Then pass El Jefe the sanitary wipes.
Speaking of “unwashed masses” the people’s BFF California Senator Barbara ("Call me Senator") Boxer blew the lid off of the truth when she pointed out that this so-called public opposition can’t be real because so many of the people protesting dress well. We all know that us dumb John Q. Public’s don’t know how to dress purty. It's a fact that conservatives spend their days shopping for clothes at Walmart and their nights cutting all the sleeves off their shirts ala "Larry The Cable Guy." Get-r-done!
Why do you fear us? Pass health care reform!. Do it now! What do you have to lose? Stand for your convictions. That's not the same as standing up for sentencing, most of you Dems will need to look up that word; “convictions” it doesn’t just apply to tax evasion charges…it has another definition.
If the Democratic Party truly believes that health care reform, this currently proposed health care reform, is what is best for this nation and for the people, then they have an obligation as our duly elected representatives to pass this bill. Pass it now.
If the public really doesn’t oppose this, regardless of what our lying eyes, and ears show us is happening nationwide, and contrary to what all the polls say, then the Dems should pass it. Pass it now.
You can even name it after Ted Kennedy and tug away at our heart strings. You guys love that stuff. So symbolic! Pass it now!
They won’t.
Not one elected official in the Democratic Party has the courage. Not one. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Why? They don’t believe their own propaganda, but labor under the assumption that you’re gullible enough to believe anything. Way down deep inside their frightened fragile liberal bones they know that the public opposition is real and all the reassurances to the contrary by ABC, NBC and The New York Times can not spell them from the nightmare of facing a vocal and informed electorate. They now know they’ve crossed the line. They know (and have always known) that the overwhelming majority of Americans are ideologically center to right and are actually people who do love this country and every ideal for which it stands.
And down deep inside, beneath all the lies and rationalizations, the Dems have fed themselves are falling apart before their very eyes at Town Hall meetings from coast-to-coast-to-coast and on YouTube every day. And that friends, means that there is not one Dem in the House or Senate willing to risk losing re-election.
Let’s get real. If faced with the choice of pouring a bucket of water on your burning head or getting re-elected the overwhelming majority of Senators and Congressmen in D.C. (from either party) will call you "crispy" and walk away.
There are few, if any real Public Servants in Washington, or in your state’s capital willing to lay across the tracks of public opinion and sacrifice re-election to do what is right.
The 111th Congress is no different. Obama is no different. Faced with your opposition these “leaders” will run for the nearest crack like a cockroach exposed to the light.
If you remember nothing else, remember that come election day in November of 2010.
