The Price of Betrayal

In the cover of darkness the U. S. Senate closed debate on this train-wreck called Healthcare reform. Once again, the promises of President Obama are ignored and forgotten by the majority party. We were supposed to have all bills available on the internet and at least five days to be read. This mess was being changed and amended in private and brought out to be voted on withoiut being read ( as is required in the Senate rules, but since when do liberals care about rules?). We were supposed to have all debate during the day on C-SPAN - not in the middle of the night. This is supposed to be the most open and upfront administration ever, but in reality it hides everything in the shadows.

Everyone from the President on down still tries to say this mess will cut cost and save money. Impossible ! You can't cut 500 Billion from Medicare, add millions of people to the rolls and save money. The savings cited are because the taxes start NOW and the benifits start in 2014 !! That's like buying a new car, signing a 10-year payment plan and then being told you can't start using the car until you make the first 4 years of payments. The worst part is, the government is ALWAYS wrong with it's cost estimates on entitlement programs - from Social Security ( which was to only be a "supplemental" income program) to Welfare to Medicare, and politicians always add more to the rolls and more taxes to the working people of America.

To justify the rush. they use horror stories that show we must act now, before it's too late. Like this gem from Sen. Reid "every ten minutes, a person in America dies from not having health isurance". Well then, that means that over 200,000 people will die while waiting for this healthcare plan to kick in. Aren't they worth saving? Doesen't he CARE ???

The truth is, they're making it up as they go, because they think that most Americans are too dumb to figure it out. This is caused by their own stupidity compounded by their own arrogance. Even in the face of polls showing most Americans against government-run healthcare and many so-called "safe" democrat districts up for grabs, they keep heading for the cliff.

Several senators are getting tens of millions of dollars in exchange for their support. The (so-called) independent Joe Lieberman got the public option removed ( on the promise of Harry Reid - which is worth about the same as used toilet paper ) and now liberal Feminist groups are attacking - his wife ! Senator Mary Landrieu sold her vote for $300 million for Louisiana. Ben Nelson got the Fed to pay for all of Nebraska's Medicare expansion.

These are just old-fashioned whores (although I hate to insult whores by comparing them to these politicians), out to get the most that they can. At least you can kind of understand why they did it. The thing that is really confusing is the senators that sold out their states for NOTHING. Iv'e heard over and over from Missouri's Clair McCaskell that she would not support a mess like this, but she just went along with whatever the democrats put in front of her. This is not the action of a whore, they get paid in one way or another. Giving it away is what a slut does.
