Going back to the post: Interestingly enough, he could have actually made the facts work in his favor: “Government has to step in to force evil insurance to ‘do the right thing’.” But I guess it pulls more heart strings to kill someone off. More thoughts here: http://tiny.cc/jisfU

o-blah-blah misrepresent something?!?! I’m shocked!

READ DAVID HOROWITZ’ “Radical Son”. Marxism/Activism is not about benefitting the people. It is a mechanism to consolidate power. That’s It!

Hmmmmm. Isn’t that what Representative Wilson did???

Don’t like it when you get “called out”, ‘ay o-blah-blah!

“We will call you out”. It is to laugh. My response to that is, “Fine, call me out and when you think I’m ‘misrepresenting’ what’s in the bill, I will use your own words to destroy your argument and you”

This is the kind of thing that lawyers love…the sifting of the words to get a dig on your opponent, to win the case before a judge…yayyyy, I’m so cool.

Kind of the way “Boston Legal” presents it. Though the real world is scarier and less urbane. To lawyers, it’s about winning. The issue at hand is immaterial, other than the manipulation of it to get to the victory.

But given that healthcare is NOT the root issue, the opponents of this bill would do well to keep that in mind and taylor their arguments in that direction, aiming at clever subterfuge to get them to admit what the root issue is. I’m sure there are clever lawyers in the GOP who can do this. And, when up against emotional windbags like Pelosi and Frank, I’ll bet you can get them to say “Dammit…it’s NOT ABOUT HEALTHCARE!!!” as in a Jack Nicholsen outburst.

At least, maybe something to that effect.

Get them to stick their feet in their mouths repeatedly…which is what most of us have been waiting for but they have avoided all real debate for that very reason. There has been no discussion of this bill except behind closed doors marked “invitation only”.

How is that bipartisan? How does that invite open debate? They tried to sneak it in on us until the voice started getting louder and they had to stop. Now…I see Blammo the boy king is using rhetoric that is threatening….indicating he thinks he’s got a pair. So I hope they DO try to “call someone out” who they think ‘misrepresents’ what’s in the bill so they can have the questions put to them.

Questions they’ve refused to answer, or statements that actually truly DO misrepresent what the bill implies.

They know this. That is why they accuse the republicans of the very thing they are doing themselves.

“If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.”

Most national leaders are fierce in the face of the enemy.

And The Moron is no exception. Unlike his usual butt-in-the-air posture with rogue dictators around the world, he was as tough and belligerent last night as a reborn Winston Churchill castigating the Nazis murderers.

Except, for Obamy, the enemy is us.

Yes, it’s extortion.

But it’s the Chicago way. And they see nothing wrong with that. We will do as we’re told, or we will “pay the consequences”.

Just watch.

“Thanks, Timmy” said President Obama, patting the crippled newsboy on the head. “Here’s a shiny new penny for you”.

“A penny? Hey, you lousy chiseller…” cursed Timmy until the Secret Service overpowered him.

“Mmmmmpppfff…aaaaiiieeeeeee” continued Timmy as the unhearing Chicagoan or Hawaiian or Kenyan or whatever the hell he really is, marched on, flipping eagerly through the news drenched pages of the Times.

“Hmmm…who’s on the Best Seller List? Me…me…me…me again. That’s good” muttered the President. “Opinion Page…hmmm…’I was Ted’s Bitch – and it Felt So Good’ by Adam Clymer. Read that one later.

“Science Page: ‘Renewed Interest in Decades Old Kennedy Accident Spurs Interest in Submerged Driving Technology’. Interesting. Ah, Page One; let’s see…uh huh, uh huh…what? What? WHAT?”

The Grey Lady fell from the brown man’s nerveless fingers. He swayed and passed a shaking hand across his eyes.

“Mr President! Are you all right?” enquired Top Aide Rahm Emanuel (known to all as “the Raccoon” on account of the dark circles beneath his eyes and his garbage eating habit). “What’s wrong? Speak to me, Mr President!”

Unable, for once, to say anything the President pointed to the crumpled front page. The Raccoon looked, read and then he too swayed on his feet. This was terrible news!

“Faith in Obama Divinity Dips Below 50% says Poll” read the headline. “More Americans question Obama Godhead” it continued in that longwinded NYT way. “Leader is ‘mere mortal after all’ say Majority of Americans. Rejection of ‘Messianic Chimera’ seen as blow to President”.

“Oh my God” gasped the Raccoon.

“Huh?” responded Obama, hearing His name. “Oh, right. Anyway, this is bad news, Rahm… Jeremiah Wright bad. If this kind of godless atheism catches on We could be in big trouble”.

“You said it, Lord” concurred the Raccoon.

“I mean, talk about ungrateful! I make the sun shine, I make the grass grow, I heal the sick, I bring a positive agenda of hope and change to the nation, nay – the world and all the thanks I get – not that I want thanks mind you; only unquestioning worship – is this, this…scepticism…this…unbelief”.

“Scandalous, Lord. It is true that we do not deserve You” grovelled Rahm. “You would be right to make us suffer Your just wrath”.

“Wrath eh? What kind of wrath?”

“It is not for me to say, Lord” toadied the Raccoon. “Universal flood. Plague of locusts. River of blood. Fiery bush…”

“Leave Michelle out of this!” snapped Obama. “How did you know about that? But maybe you’re right. Maybe if I withdrew My benevolence for a short time, these mortals would be a little more appreciative”.

“Indeed, Lord. And what form will Your wrath take?”

“Well” mused Obama. “I could make everyone surrender responsibility for their personal health care to a cumbersome and indifferent federal bureaucracy which will provide dilatory, mediocre and rationed care in exchange for an enormous and ever growing tax burden for businesses and for individuals, coupled with a massive expansion of an already overlarge government”.

“I like it, Lord!”

“Plus, having a created these ever expanding client groups of dependents and administrators I can fix it so that anyone with any money left ends up paying through the nose for illegal aliens (and what’s the definition of ‘illegal’, anyway?) for abortions, for sex changes… and reversals too. Oh, the list is endless. That’ll make them suffer alright!”

“Awesome! Truly I was wrong to ever doubt your Divinity, Lord!” squealed Rahm the Raccoon.

“Doubt?” queried the demigod. “Doubt?” he repeated redundantly. “You doubted Me? ME? Why you little worm. You shall feel my anger…” Obama’s eyes flashed with righteous ire, he raised his mighty hand and…

“Nooooooooooooo!!!” wailed a cringing Rahm “No! Don’t turn me into a pillar of salt! At least make it low sodium…huh? Hey?”

Nothing had happened. He was still the same old Raccoon and as Obama looked querulously at his misfiring mighty hand and gave it a couple of tentative shakes, the Raccoon scuttled quickly away, as his kind always will.

And yet the idea of him actually paying for the stem cell transplant himself never seems to have crossed their minds.

“When I called the hospital to see if I could schedule the stem cell transplant for him because he was in such a weakened state both physically and emotionally, I was callously told unless your brother brings in cash and a bundle of it, he is not going to get the procedure without insurance.”

They believed that he would die within months without the transplant, and yet they don’t seem to have even considered paying for it themselves.

Sure, it is probably an expensive operation, but would he really rather die than pay for it out of his own pocket?

This seems to be all too typical of the way many people think about healthcare today.
