Health care reform bill: Hey Majesty, what's the rush?



His Majesty has purported to set an August 7, 2009 deadline for Congress to pass a health care reform bill (House dems unveiled their version of the bill yesterday). And dems are talking about the possibility, if necessary, of a strictly 60-40 party line vote on a health care reform bill in the Senate.

So what's the big rush? Actually, many of us know precisely what the rush is. His Majesty wants to ram-rod right down our throats every piece of massive ultra left-wing legislation that he possibly can before his poll numbers drop much further (low polls = high public pressure on dems in Congress not to vote for Majesty's bills). Cap-and-trade is another one that Majesty desperately wants to force through the Senate in the very near future. A second stimulus bill will probably be the next monster to creep out of the swamp.

And be sure to look for Majesty and the dems to choreograph as many distractions as they can over the next month to try to keep your attention off of these bills. You can expect, for example, more of the Pelosi/CIA soap opera, more talk about investigating Bush administration officials, and more efforts to keep fringe right-wingers like Palin and Slimebaugh at the top of the headlines. People, the world view of liberals is basically to think that you are an idiot. So don't be one -- recognize what's going on in Washington right now, and recognize the dangerous state of affairs that's been created as a result of one-party control of the entire federal government.
