Two senators sniping, 10 AGs conferring... and the passage of a health
care bill
By Tom Baxter
Southern Political Report
December 24, 2009 �
As the US Senate headed toward the Christmas Eve passage of its
version of the health care reform bill, one Louisiana senator took a
shot at the other, while 10 Republican attorneys general signed on to
an effort which made lead to a suit challenging the constitutionality
of the bill.
...............................................................................................................
Led by South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, the 10 state
AGs are investigating whether the deal which gives Nebraska an
exemption from the state share of Medicaid expansion makes an
unconstitional exception for that state.
McMaster, a candidate for governor, launched the effort after South
Carolina senators LIndsey Graham and Jim DeMint sent him a letter
requesting he look into the matter.
The bill passed Thursday morning on a 60-39, party-line vote.

The sore losers keep howling.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Harry
Right now the dominant faction of the Repooplican party is locked in
an infinite loop of self righteous denial, circular reasoning and
ideas from the 1930's that are more worn out than the running board of
a 34 Ford coupe.
Locked into such repetitious denialism and avoidance of reality, these
fools don't realize that they have alienated significant portions of
their own party as well as a large segment of the American
electorate.
We don't need to be told anymore that high taxes are bad and big
government needs to slim down and be efficient. But the really funny
part is that the Repooplican leadership just DOES NOT GET IT. They
have repeated their nonsense for so long that they have come to
believe it - like Liebermann they are losing drastic points in their
polls and don't even know what's wrong - a classic recipe for an
overthrow of the party by people ready, willing and ABLE to admit that
neo-con "free" trade nonsense is all wrong and that fundamental
radical idealogies which were somehow made centrist in the Repoop
party are ALL WRONG and need to be acknowledged as wrong and
EXTIRPATED.
Eventual rapproachment and cooperation between Demoos and Repoops is
to be expected as the pro "free" trade neo-con elements of BOTH
parties get the heave ho into the dustbin of history AND of failed
candidacies.
Meanwhile, the VICTORY of reform casts a shadow of the remnants of the
party of NO who persist in avoiding reality, espousing fairy tales as
fact and pretending to themselves that their opinions have anything
whatever to do with benefiting the United States of America.

They won't get rid of Reaganism which entitles a handful at the majority's
expense.
It will be you and the sore simple-minded dummycrat loser howling after
the elections of 2010 and 2012.
Barack Hussein Obama...mmm mmm mmm
Send HIM to Pakistan to fight Osama...mmm mmm mmm
Simple-minded lying dummycrats (the party that birthed the KKK) and
liberals...morons electing morons.
Why is Harry Hope gloating about a coming disaster?
And passing Social Security, then Medicare eliminated the dems.
Oh, wait, were still here and doing rather well.
2010 is going to be a blast!!!
Fifty-six percent (56%) now disapprove of the President’s
performance.
Most voters (54%) also believe they personally will be worse off if
the health care plan passes. Just 25% think they will be better off.
Some Democratic leaders and strategists have suggested the plan will
become more popular once it has been passed and people see how it
works.
Generic Ballot: Republicans 44% Democrats 37%
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Republican candidates have bounced back to a seven-point lead over
Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44%
would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate
while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
Support for GOP candidates is up just one point over the past week,
but support for Democrats slipped two points. A week ago, the
Republican lead was down to four points from a seven-point margin the
last week in November.
We are just finding out the real cost of SS and Medicare that you
Liberals forced on us already.
> Oh, wait, were still here and doing rather well.
NOT so well.
Wait till the election and we'll see how well you are doing.
It's called.... a local anesthetic applied to Harry's little pecker
before he inserts it into the meat grinder of 2010.
When he ends up with nothing.... it will surprise him.
You've heard all the Liberal-Socialist economists claim each month they
were surprised/shocked at the numbers.
Harry Hope is a jerk who uses insults as a substitute for reasened
argument. This is what Ayn Rand called the argument from intimidation.
Ayn Rand was a great novelist, a genius and a lunatic who named
herself after a typerwriter.
Her views of the world were very relevant to the 20th century. Check
your calendar,
we are in the 21st century.

I see Citizen Jimserac al;so uses name calling.
Ayn Rand named herself after a typewriter. This is irrelevant.
So this is the 21st century. Did relevancy change at the stroke of
midnight on January 1st, 2000?
A name is an arbitrary thing. The name is not in the DNA.

Who would you prefer to tee in the white house? A follower of Ayn
Rand who believes in limited government and low taxes or Barack
Obama, who has done nothing to get us out of the recession?
Remington and Rand might have an opinion!
But, in an ironic twist of fate, her name became completely
appropriate.
She named herself after a shiny black mechanical device, well made and
a mainstay for generations of typists.
A symbol of the golden age of Capitalism with its long lasting well
made cheap products.

Things like our country's demographics, the location and means of
production, offshoring, the impact of the personal computer and the
liberating effect of personal technology - along with dramatic
political shifts - all have gradually occurred since the 1970's or so.
The decline in our cities' infrastructure, coupled with the impossible
sustaining of large illegal alien population in "sanctuary" cities,
paid for by already overburdened taxpayers so that some corporations
can have CHEAP labor - I would love to hear Rand's reaction to that
situation. I'm certain she would oppose the arbitrary corporate
welfare that such a situation obviously entails.
Things have gone so far from her ideal world, that she would probably
be forced to lean leftwards to regain some control. IN fact,
somewhere in her writings, perhaps in her Ayn Rand Letter which I read
back in the 70's - I believe she said that of the damage done to our
government by the Repubs vs. the Demos, the Repubs were far worse
because of their easy subversions of personal freedoms by benevolent
looking legislation. The Bush era passage of that cunningly named
"Patriot" act is a perfect example.
Suddenly we have major corporations, I think it was AT&T and Sprint,
SPYIING on local citizens - something that was expressly prohibited
before. And the beauty part, is that the Bush regime magnanimously
managed to pass legislation PROTECTING these companies from
lawsuits !! The "righties" will remind us of the evil terrorists that
are hiding under the bed as the justification of that particular Bill
of Rights busting bit of trickery.
Those are just a few of the things which make it impossible to revert
to the ideal state she envisioned in her half century old major novel
and which relegate her philosophy to mere historical initerest.

Why should the majority complain just because congress went against
their wishes? They don't run the country, do they?
Those that don't vote don�t count.
In Germany, in the '30s, voters began to look pass the standard
political alternatives. The results weren't pretty. The general public
knows you conservatives suck bad as policymakers, and democrats under
our system of legalized bribery talk a good game but fade in the
stretch.
