Open Letter: DO IT, Democrats!
You can whine and cry all day about how the republicans are stopping you, but everyone knows the truth: The Democrats have the super majority in BOTH houses and control the White House. Even addressing the very sad passing of Senator Kennedy, you can use the Nuclear Option: Pull the trigger on Reconciliation and be done with it: a simple 51 majority votes passes rather than the historical 60 to overcome the filibuster.
So why don't we stop the ridiculous petty partisan antics and speak the truth here?
The republicans aren't stopping you. The PEOPLE are.
The PEOPLE have scared the poo right out of you with their vehemet opposition to this government "solution" you're offering, and THAT'S why you haven't passed it. THAT'S exactly why the President wanted this passed before the August recess because he knew the PEOPLE would have a chance to speak their minds. And we certainly can't have that in America.
But you know what? If you're all soooo right and we're all sooooo wrong and simple and ignorant and misguided in our "paranoid fears and delusions" of government run healthcare, then DO IT. There isn't anything stopping you from your supposedly righteous cause, so DO IT!
What's wrong? Afraid your opposition, afraid THE PEOPLE might actually be RIGHT? That couldn't possibly be true with all your high and mighty conviction.
In fact, I have another few questions for you democrats:
If Private Insurance Companies are SOOOOOO bad and unfair and literally hellbent on cheating every last dime out of you
1) Why do ANY of you use them?
2) Why aren't you calling for the abolition of every single ONE of them?
3) Why is it so important that you stress to us we'll be able to keep our evil coverage, regardless that at least the House Bill specifically outlined that you would not be able to?
4) Why do the Congress Critters have the option of over TWENTY PRIVATE HEALTH PLANS to choose from rather than Government run healthcare, and why did they specify in at least one of the Senate bills that Congress Critters would be immune to the passing of the bill?
If Doctors in this country are SOOOOO concerned with chopping your limbs off and taking out your tonsils simply to make a buck rather than look after your health,
1) Why do you use ANY of them? How on earth can you trust a word that comes out of any of their greedy mouths?
2) Why don't you go to Canada or France or England where the doctors are apparently far more ethical and far less concerned with lining their pockets?
3) Why on EARTH would you want the input of any US doctors in this bill?!!
If the Prescription Companies and Researching Firms are SOOOOO bad, then how dare you use any of the break-through medications they discover?
You complain about their methods and then greedily, hypocritically enjoy the benefits of their labors?! I'm sorry! I thought you were being righteous and noble fighting for the people and tearing these industries and working American citizens down, but you're going to enjoy the benefits they offer?
My President is a liar and a coniving manipulator of the highest degree. How can anyone listen to a single issue-focused sentence without seeing all the blatant omissions and spin he's packing within it?
I am so SICK of the left throwing every. single. industry. that has made this nation the GREATEST under the bus, backing up, attaching a metal hook into its back, running over it again, and then dragging it through the mud-covered jagged rocks!
If you so hate and mistrust the People and Industry that have made this nation so great, then at LEAST be up front about it instead of playing your ridiculous game of doublespeak, tearing down the hardworking American populace and supposedly "defending them" at the same time! It's not. possible. Has the thought ever occurred to you to THINK about what it is you're saying, the accusations you're making, and the CONSEQUENCES of your policy actions?
No, of course not.
But by all means, at the very least have some INTEGRITY and STAND BY YOUR CONVICTIONS!
Put up or shut up, Democrats. Stop blaming everyone else.
DO.
IT.
