All of you "Shrill Liberal" children really need to settle down, shut up, and get back in your assigned seats, places, and closets! The Adults in DC know what they are doing, just look at their record!
And once you are in your assigned seats, place your head between your knees and kiss your rights, your healthcare, and the Rule of Law goodbye.
Just because the Republicans, lobbyist and shills are yelling louder and on the verge of establishing their paradigms, frames, and conventional wisdom....just because THEY are effectively Yelling Louder on every frikkin issue.....doesn't mean you should be allowed let your voices raise above a polite whisper and a golf clap.
After all! Just think how bad things would be if McCain had won!
So OBVIOUSLY now is the time to be vewy vewy qwiet! We are hunting mediocrity here!
Or worse.
Just because the Republican Party is at a new all time low of approval, lost the House, The Senate and The White House by a landslide doesn't mean that they and their Corporate Owners shouldn't still set the frame and agenda on every issue!
Especially when they can also buy Max Baucus and other Congressional Dems so darn cheap!
Right out in the open and everything!
And how can they do that if we are yelling at them!
Just because they are yelling louder certainly doesn't mean that we should shrilly and loudly yell that 73 PERCENT OF ALL VOTERS WANT A PUBLIC OPTION!
oops
sorry
Now I don't want to insinuate that the reason that, in spite of overwhelming public support for a Public Option, they "Don't Have The Votes" is that our government has been bought.
I want to come right out and YELL that the reason they "Don't Have The Votes" is that OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN BOUGHT.
But that might scare away the fish that Senator Baucus and his Corporate Owners are trying to catch on their little trip.
And a bunch of people on Daily Kos.
We don't want to yell loudly about torture and get on TV.
We don't want to yell loudly about gay rights and get a private meeting with the DOJ
Because yelling loudly about stuff OBVIOUSLY doesn't work as well as a whispering and a polite golf clap in hopes that our government might throw us a crumb here and there.
So I won't.
I also won't tell everybody here to go around "the Rulez" and bury Senator Baucus with e-mails at this link using the Montana Zip Code of Missoula, 59801 so he doesn't have the excuse not to read them. Or tell people to flood his office with faxes at this number (202) 224-9412. So that his staff has to at least acknowledge them before throwing them away.
Or tell you to call him at (202) 224-2651.
And I certainly wouldn't tell you to so the same to our dignified, august Senate MINORITY (apparently) leader Harry Reid ....at this e-mail addy and this Fax number...202-224-7327 or call him at 202-224-3542. Using Las Vegas, 89199.
That would be rude, uppity, shrill, and loud, ineffective and...immoderate...and might upset their schedules of spelunking in the biggest cave ever discovered....the Democratic Senate Caucus.
That would be wrong. There is nothing illegal about it, but hey.
That would be even wronger than having a Congress that consistently sell out to the highest Corporate Bidder on every freaking issue that comes before them. We certainly wouldn't want to be seen as trying to TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT FORM THE CORPORATIONS AND THE RULING CLASS.
oops
sorry
But I WILL urge you to call, mail and fax your Congress Members every day. To read and support slinkerwink and NYCeve's health care action diaries.
And I will even be so bold as to encourage you to include a note on your selfish single issue impatient pony wanting concerns as you beg for the Congress not to sell our government out from under us.
As long as you do it QUIETLY!!!
oops
sorry
