Now it is all coming clear (harumph!) as clear as they want it to be..'Transparency in government' as a tag line to gain popular support during the election season, followed by a Senate Finance Committee vote along party lines to insure that the Health-care bill is NOT posted in full for the public (or the voting body of the Senate) to see prior to the floor vote! Why? well as our ever enduring traitor from 1970 Senator John "I'm a hero" Kerry puts it " Let's be honest about it, most people don't read the legislative language." He doesn't want to confuse us with the legalese! (Oh thank you Johnny!) Do you mind if the senators who are supposed to vote on it get to see the 'legalese'?
They want to post the 250+ pages of the 'strawman' framework that their 'staffers' will fill out with the actual verbage that will be enacted and will come in at about 1200 pages. We don't need to see the result of these non-elected (and non-oversight) staff who are the biggest targets of the 'lobbyists', do we?
'Lobbyists' another dirty-word slurred and sneered at in election season to gain support from the mindless masses that are all too willing to believe that the big bad Republicans all pander to these (say this with a sneer on your face and great distaste) "lllobby-yists' and that the new dems with 'change' in their heart will step in and unleave the strangle-hold that these (get ready, here we go again) 'llobby-yists' have had on the Republicans for decades. My, I'm breathless from the derring-do that the Change-artists are going to perform....
Did you catch the senate review of the Senate Finance Committee goings on for Wednesday night (the 23rd of September)? Senator nelson, D-Florida told reporters that night that he hoped to sweeten Medicare prescription drug benefits, contrary to the direction that the Finance Committee was moving, and lay off these added costs onto the pharmaceutical industry (never mind the fact that these will just appear in price increases to the consumer, this gets even better!). This Nelson proposed change has everyone in the administration and the dems on the Finance Committee up in arms since it will (get this...) violate an agreement that the Obama Administration and Senator Baucus had struck MONTHS AGO with the Drug Companies! WAIT A MINUTE!
That sounds mysteriously like a...BACK ROOM DEAL cut with (say it loud and say it proud..) 'lllobby-yists'; lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Let's cut to the chase here: campaign slogans=0 and Congress as usual=2....
Two major points used to drive a wedge between the two parties, differentiate their actions, highlight the 'New Deal' if only we elect President BOH and exile the big bad Business lobby! Net-Net; No to Transparency and Yes to Lobbyists. my-my where has this last 12 months gone; America-bashing; apologizing to our detractors; TARP I,II, III?; didn't post the stimulus bill; aren't going to post the full H/C bill; took over the auto-industry; gave it to the Unions (who had no claim to it) while ripping off the creditors/investors, (who did have a claim to it); firing private company CEO's and installing Czars; ramming a H/C reform bill through when no one wants it; spending inordinate amount of time pandering to the Lettermans and talk shows; Not meeting with our Allies (Great Britain) buddying up to our sworn enemies (Iran and Venezuela); neutering our remote allies (Poland and Czech Republic) and making every concession to Russia.
I've got to admit...NOW THAT IS CHANGE!
Are We really That Stupid?????
Really? You don't think so? I haven't even gotten started with the ACORN cover-ups
