Debates Won: Wars Lost...

by j. wright - October 8, 2009


In a recent Wall Street Journal article, former Bush Administration White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove indicated, “The GOP is Winning the Health-Care Debate.”
.
Allow me to take on a former tennis great John McEnroe in-your-face attitude for a second: ''Winning the Debate? But Losing the War? You Can’t be Serious!” Great... if that's a victory please excuse me whilst my head explodes!
.
The Marxist idiots many of us voted into office are going to pass their idea of national health reform regardless of rapidly growing public disatisfaction and the possible political consequences. That's supposed to be a win for the nation?
.
Once in place, especially with Obama's veto pen until 2012, their idea of health reform will never be repealed and eventually we'll be ''enjoying'' a single payer monstrosity similar, maybe worse, than that in the UK and Canada.
.
Its becoming more and more plain that these power guzzling Marxists have no conscience when they are in the majority, and in typical liberal fashion, have this inane belief that they and they alone know what is best for the rest of us, the uneducated inferior types.
.
Sure, many of them will suffer at the polls in 2010 but it’s a small price to pay for their cause, as again, they will have forced their will upon us.To put it bluntly, we've had it. And I'd dearly love to be wrong.
.
Additionally, even with the so-called pass the CBO just gave Senator Max Baucus and the Senate Finance Committee's version of national health care; the numbers are a joke.
.
Out of that expected cost of $829-billion spread over ten years is a huge reduction in Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals of almost half; $404 billion. It's doubtful that will happen. Too many politicians see the folly in screwing with the seniors.The additional proposed taxes and fees will certainly take effect but not enough to offset the ''savings'' in lower Medicare expenses.
.
Then there's the so-called savings to be garnered by eliminating Medicare ''fraud and waste'' to the tune of $500 billion? LMAO! As if any Congress ever discovered fraud and waste and did anything.
.
So let's pretend this plan of theirs works for ten years. After that there is no allotment of money on any one's table to maintain this monster entitlement plan. Like now, Medicare/Medicaid is costing ten times what was planned at its inception 25 or so years ago. Imagine what our kids and their kid's kids will be facing in a couple of decades.
.
The radical leftists have been compared to as an army of ants. Close, only worse. The ants aren't so much interested in control and power as they are in survival.
.
They will accept a loss of the House in 2010 as long as they pass nationalized health care ''reform'' now.Like good socialists, they love their martyrs and are a patient lot. Sooner or later they would regain the House and control of the taxpayer dollars.
.
Personally, I don't see a miracle in the making that will prevent them from passing Obamacare or whatever it’s called. And the arrogant One's ego trip will be nauseating to behold when that takes place.
