He has hung his brief career and reputation on the passage of an unnecessary, over priced, economy-killing health care bill. Why would anyone be surprised he shows up to give the old Chicago land knee capper if this ends up in the crapper?
We all know the Democarats needed no help from Republicans to pass this monstrosity, but I really would have liked to see them put up more of a fight to the death.
- The first thing is they needed to line up behind Joe Wilson and denounce ALL the lies, beginning with the one that they hadn't presented any alternatives, and
- secondly, they should have never, never used the word "reform" when speaking of this evil take over. Once illegals were eliminated from the count, and people who qualified for other government plans but hadn't bothered, and those who were between employer plans, we were left with about 5% of the American citizen population. Anywhere from 80-85% of Americans were perfectly happy with their insurance. Fraud and waste are and will continue to be a huge problem in the government health care we do have. This is not "reform." It's the equivalent of flesh eating bacteria for our economy's recovery.
- Third, the lie that somehow, this weakened, lily livered group of Republicans could hold anything up, including their spines, should have been broadcast from the halls of Congress, but I guess that would have been hard to admit.
- And finally, trying to tweak a really, really bad bill by reaching an agreement on abortion just proves how weak the Republicans are and all they care about is getting reelected because that plays well at home, just like their Democratic twins.
