Well, they COULD sendour guns to the moon too -- that is if it were part of the legislation -- and had built a big enough rocket ship.
But its not. No gun stuff. No public option. No constitutional monstrosities. No rocket ship.
The right has us foaming at the mouth over a "self-executing rule" and a health care bill that is far more modest than the one Richard Nixon proposed.
I am very suspicious of the bill that Nancy Pelosi wants to use that self executing rule or "deem and pass" because... she herself said it was a way to get the bill passed and still protect the jobs of those who vote for the "rule" but could pretend voting for the "rule" wasn't voting for the "bill". The snide, arrogant, condescending tone of that bald faced lie insinuating that the American public is too stupid to understand that voting for the rule IS voting for the bill is insulting.
The same bill Nancy Pelosi said would have to be passed before anyone can find out what is in it?
We already know the current Progressive controlled government is prone to doing things under cover of darkness... with back room deals... with appointments of radicals... and with circumventing proper channels (no cap and trade? No problem... have the EPA do it)... why on earth would anyone simply "trust" that a 2000+ page health care bill would NOT have insidious Constitutional monstrosities intended to expand governmental control of much more than health care hidden in it?
Public option? Who needs it when the government program simply prices private firms out of business leaving the only option the "public" one anyway?
Guns? Who was it that tried to blame Mexico's problems on America's gun owners in an effort to control America's gun owners... not Mexico's problems? Does anyone think the agenda to control guns has suddenly gone away? Or that the health care bill would not include a way to control guns? 2000+ pages concerns just health care?
I'm not buying it for one second. I do not believe this bill has much to do with truly addressing health care but has everything to do with the government expanding it's control over every aspect of it's citizen's daily lives.
Sheesh! "Slaughter rule" or "self executing rule"... such appropriate names! If the "Slaughter rule" passes health care.. health care becomes rationed (think it won't? Add 30 million new folks but don't add more Doctors equals rationing of patients access to Doctors right there) and people will die for lack of timely access to needed meds, needed procedures, needed hospitals.... And.... if "we the people" allow this to happen then we "self executed" ourselves by a "rule"... used by our "rulers".
Rant "off".
