Events swirl around s even as I write this. Honor and truth are all too rare in the well of commodities that make up the political world.
Those who claim to stand on principle are manipulated like junkies. The Louisiana Purchase? Out of the trillions this mess is going to cost future generations, Sen. Mary Landreau (D - La) sold out her honor much like, I'm sure, she sold out her virtue... $300 million got it done. Ben Nelson of Nebraska signed his political death warrant by ignoring his outraged constituency as he committed political hari-kiri by getting his state superficially exempted from putting money into that particular pot.... while they, like us, get screwed in so many other ways that will hurt our economy and delay any recovery, thereby increasing dependence on the government and redistributing more and more of our wealth.
All of it is likely for naught.
Even if, ultimately, Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Mich) is either overwhelmed or undercut and this heaping pile of feces is actually signed by that empty suited, anti-American racist bigot running the show, there is little doubt that when he GOP takes control of Congress back in the next election, this stinking pile of garbage will be tossed... as will that nonsensical section that tries to tie the hands of future Senates...
At issue is Section 3403 of Senator Harry Reid's manager's amendment that the Senate adopted Tuesday morning and is now part of the pro-abortion, government-run health care bill.
The section, on page 1020, says "it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection."
That would be a problem for any section of any bill but the language in contention concerns pro-life advocates because it is the so-called death panels section whereby regulations are imposed on doctors and patients by the Independent Medicare Advisory Boards.
Yup... The democrats have made a weak attempt to implement a section in a bill that is unconstitutional on its face.
But then, it's pretty clear that the leftist leadership of Congress and the White House just views the Constitution as so much toilet paper anyway, so is that kind of manipulation of law and constitutional abrogation of their oath any particular surprise?
Meanwhile, the empty suit and the Belle of Botox tried to lean on Stupak who, in his own far-too-polite way, politely declines to be leaned on.
He will not be silenced, as the hypocritical left, who would be rioting in the streets if a GOP Administration tried such a stunt, remains silent.
You get the feeling that Dr. Griffith's defection from the forces of the Dark Side may not be the last.
Here's Stupak's take on the so-called compromise language of the horror care wrecking bill:
The current version of the Senate bill contains so-called “compromise” language crafted by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). This language does not bar taxpayer funding of health plans that cover abortion, but does create a firewall to supposedly keep federal money from being used to pay for abortions. Over the weekend, Stupak issued a statement calling the proposed Senate language "unacceptable."If Stupak is successful and sticks to his guns, this thing winds up on the ash heap of history it so rightly deserves. If the 64 in his caucus remain men and women of integrity, unlike the democrats in the Senate, then this thing is done.
"A review of the Senate language indicates a dramatic shift in federal policy that would allow the federal government to subsidize insurance policies with abortion coverage," said the statement.
If he falters or fails... if he's hung out to dry and deserted... then this heaping pile of garbage becomes law... at least for a day or two until it's thrown out by a federal court.
This kind of government arrogance is what causes people to lose faith in their country.
Sigh
