My blood pressure has been boiling for the past week or so. Today I am soooo livid I don't know what to do???? I've called, I've e-mailed, I've faxed, I've donated money to Organizing for America, I'm organizing an event in support of the President's Healthcare Reform measures and I know I am not the only one. I just want to know 2 things: Why is the minority party more powerful than the majority party? And, why can't the Democratic Party ever...and I mean ever draw a line in the sand and fight for it??
Republicans have nooooooooooooo problem shoveling whatever policies down the throats of democrats and the American people. In power/out of power...doesn't seem to really matter. They get whatever they want. In the last 8 years the democratic congress just closed their eyes and let whatever the Bush Monarchy wanted to happen...happen. Now we have a chance to really do something good something that will actually make a difference in the average american's life and it's quickly going down the toilet. WHY DOES THE DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED SENATE ALWAYS CAPITULATE TO THE REPUBLICANS? Why I ask??? My sinking suspiscion is all the money that lobbyist and special interests are sinking into our government makes them more of the same party. Democrats talk a good game but really it's all talk what have they done in the last 10 years (and I am as liberal as they get)!! Really?
There's alot of blame to go around from the President on down but the legislature makes the laws and darn it...I believe that's congress. They should NOT go home until they DO THEIR FREAKIN' JOBS!!
Now..Harry Reid. I can't think of one solitary thing he has done to benefit the people of Nevada, the Democratic Party, or the United States of America in the last 8 years. His mis-management of this healthcare debate is a reflection of his non-leadership. Folks I am tired. I am tired as could possibly be but with the $2 I have left in my pocket I will do all I can to get Harry Reid OUT and all the other DINO's out of office. He is done. We've got to start primarying useless polticians out of office.
So, as the Republicans, DINO's, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and others toast to today's delay...my last hope in this healthcare fight is that the President has enough votes to push this through reconciliation!!
