I haven't heard a good analysis of the Massachusetts election yet.
Senator Elect Brown, the new icon of The Cheney Observer. Interesting. College I think he said. Well there is no reason to continue to use Darth Dickie Vadar. So much for modesty and right wing rhetoric, lest we forget.
We have a Constitution in this country. One man does not make a Constitution, especially one that lies and manipulates the electorate to the extent Brown did.
The Independent Voters of Massachusetts chose unwisely. They'll figure it out along with the rest of the country.
But, there was only one bill passed in the USA regarding Health Care. The House Bill went to the Senate. There were additions made to it. There is only one path for the bill to take and that is for the House to put their business in order and send it to the President's desk for signature.
There is a process in this country and it has to be honored.
Speaker Pelosi has a job to do. She has been doing that job since 2006. She needs to carry out the process prescribed by the USA Constitution and care for those that are uninsured and uninsurable.
This plight was not Americans making, it was forced on this country by the Greed Merchants of Wall Street. And while stocks have advanced in value since the bill has made progress that doesn't have any meaning except there are speculators expecting to receive dividends from health insurance companies. Speculators are what Wall Street is all about and that is all they have been about since its inception and that is why it is "W"rong to hinge a USA economy on that market. It is unstable in nature.
THE ONLY REASON that health insurance company stock has gone up (did I say 'gone up') is because NOW it is LESS RISKY an investment. I'll be darn. Less risky an investment. Does that mean costs to the insured will go up? No. Because there is no one that has seen the final bill and there is no one that can 'speculate' to its outcomes. End of that discussion.
Now, if I were Speaker Pelosi I would also pay attention to the fact there is rising anger in the country. The President is right, the anger is directly related to eight years of broken promises and unresolved problems Americans face. Health Care is one of them, but, a "W"rongful war in Iraq and the corruption in Afghanistan while al Qaeda still exists on Earth are all broken promises. In addition, there has been a backward movement in innovation in the USA due to some idiotic ideology by the Right Wing Extremists in the Republican Party of which Brown is a proud member now.
And don't tell me he is a 'new type' of Republican. No way. He has a record and even though that record was ignored by the propagandists in the nation that is driving the irrational rhetoric Brown does have a record. He is a hardline, right wing extremist just like every other Republican in the Senate.
But, if I were Speaker Pelosi and realizing the country is very upset over many issues they are lead to believe are unresolved, I would DEFINATELY have the 'intact' House with its expert legislators that wrote the backbone of the Health Care Bill go to work on writing legislation that Senator Elect Brown has promised to live up to while protecting the best interests of the people of this country.
In other words, we all know this new Senator Elect is a wolf in sheep's clothing and I'd make him eat every word that he states makes him a New Breed of Republican and have him pass legislation sent to the Senate that will deal with all the concerns of the people.
But, to stop the Health Care Bill is not only stupid, its imprudent. We know people die daily with problems related to the lack of health care insurance and to go back to a place where we are allowing that to continue is an outrageous demand. The people making those demands are as guilty of killing the uninsured as Wall Street is.
The Health Insurance Reform bill must go forward as it has many, many good and quality aspects to it. It not only insures the uninsured, it also provides for funding for new health care practioners and significant reductions in the national debt over time.
Go back? You've got to be joking?
As I have stated many, many times, our Constitution is a process and the legislation will take on many aspects of the process as change will be needed as it is implimented and we can witness for ourselves how completely outrageous some aspects of the bill are that were forced on the American people by the Right Wing of the Republican Party including Joe Lieberman.
I guess, that vacation to the Far East might have to be postponed a year or so in order to have a bill that protects all American's health. Gee. What a sham, huh?
