Up Or Down Vote Will Kill Democratic Careers

With Obama pushing hard for passage of a Health Care Bill many Democrats in Congress are beginning to weigh their chances of getting re-elected if they go along with his strong arming.

With little to show for his first year in office and the distinct possibility that he will be a one-term President, several are wondering why they should flush their political careers down the toilet on a bill that the American public has clearly said that they do NOT want. It’s been quite obvious to Democrats how the voters feel based on several recent elections, most notably in Massachusetts.

Now the President is painting new lipstick on a pig (reconciliation) and asking for an up or down vote, staying away from calling it what it is, “Reconciliation”. Even after his much publicized meeting with several members of both Republicans and Democrats to iron out differences, he is forging ahead with plans to invoke reconciliation for an up or down vote on a Reid/Pelosi Health Care Bill.

What a lying sack of shit he turned out to be! He had this plan in his back pocket the whole time he was ‘playing’ the Republicans to come to his summit. Pelosi all but let the cat out of the bag when she kept saying that she would deliver a vote to the President with or without bipartisan participation. We already know what a piece of work she has turned out to be. She isn’t too worried about her chances of re-election since she usually runs strong in her district. But, even if she should stumble and fall (have you ever noticed her chicken walk), it’s quite obvious that Obama would make her an Ambassador to some nice sunny place. We can only hope that these three individuals have a short career ahead of them.
