First off, you got your Clintonista, centrist, business friendly Dems who are beholden to Big Money. Not as beholden as a Pubbie, kinda like an indentured servant compared to a slave, but still. Remember, the Supremes clanged the dinner bell for corporations to pursue their civic virtue by generous contributions! Nice little incumbency you’ve got here, shame if anything were to happen to it.
And they wouldn’t even have to show their colors, they can cut a deal to simply not support it as strongly as they might.
Then you’ve got the awesome persuasive power of money. As Mark Shields said tonight, every lobbyist not currently under indictment, or in prison or de-tox is being hired. Mighty bucks were spent trying to stymie HCR, but you ain’t seen nothing yet! We’re talking great hulking wads of raw cash, Godzillabucks. They’ll take hostages!
Impossible to paint the Pubbies as the protector of the proletariat against the running dog jackals of Wall Street? Maybe. But they’re sure as shit gonna try!
So God responds to legislation He doesn’t like by… grounding airplanes?
How disappointed Limbaugh must be that the recent catastrophic earthquakes causing massive fatalities both happened before the HCR bill passed. Wonder how long he sat around crossing his fingers for another devastating earthquake after March 22 before deciding to go with the Iceland volcano as his candidate for God’s expression of anti-HCR wrath.
I just find it bizarre that people believe that God is omnipotent, yet also believe that He seems limited to sending painfully obscure signals such as striking a month late and on the wrong side of the Atlantic.
Also I was clean out of coffee this morning. I could have sworn I bought more, but apparently not. To me it’s very clear that God is punishing me to show his displeasure with the healthcare bill. YMMV.
The start over bit wasn’t credible the first time Pubs tried it, but apparently it’s all they got because they’re trying it again.
That’s mighty stupid of them, even if it does demonstrate that they are a party of idea.
They are the party of ‘No’. No cooperation, no contribution, no grey matter. Just no.
Fear mongering, obstructionist, shit stirrers. Riling up the stupid, again and again. Willful misrepresentations and outright lies. There is, apparently, no level to which they will not stoop. They even invoke God, like he’d ally himself with people so racist and cold hearted.
They are going to get somebody killed before they’re through. Mark my words.
They are a giant shit stain on the greatest democracy on earth.
And you know whose fault that will be don’t you? Those damn liberals. Taunting those good people, those REAL Americans until they could not stand it anymore and snapped! Those damn liberals drove the Good Patriotic American to do this evil deed!
They need to be saved. If they did not over rule the AG , the people would have been forced to have health care. that would be bad for them. I don’t know why, but it just would.
