Oh, The Hypocrisy!

Health Reform—the song that will NOT end!  Kinda like putting “ina-da-gada-da-vida” on the turntable and go out to get laid……

I have said this for many many posts…..the GOP is full of hypocrites with NO alternatives….I know that is a bit harsh….but the major players just keep making my case for me…..they cannot help themselves…..

I will give people the reason I say this over and over and over…….

The great “Maverick” John McCain is come out of the closet against health reform of any kind, but if you go back to the 2008 campaign and his ideas on health care then you will see that it sounds similar to the Senate bill that we have now….but he cannot find any spot to compromise…..HYPOCRITE!

Now we move to Mitt Romney who has derided “Obamacare” as the lunatic Right is calling it and which by the way Mitt has jumped on that band wagon, but if you listen to the reports then the health reform bill is modeled on the Massachusetts, which was supported and passed by Mitt during his days as the governor….and oh BTW, the Mass plan covers abortions…….but there is NOTHING that he can find to support…..HYPOCRITE!

Now to my fav GOP person Sarah Palin……by now we all know what she thinks of the health reform bill…socialism, death panels, etc, etc…….she derides the health bill at every turn, trying to strengthen her position in the polls…she says that Obama’s plan will ruin American medicine…..but wait there is a bit more….the Huffington Post has found an interesting post by Sam Stein:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care — admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada’s single-payer system.

The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada’s health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and ‘death-panel’-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska.

One thing to add……HYPOCRITE!

And finally, we have another of my favs…..the Rush-ster, on his recent radio show he said that if the health reform bill passed, that it would be disastrous for the country and that he would move to Costa Rica (a paraphrase)……thinking…….if I am not mistaken, Costa Rica has universal health care run by the government…..HYPOCRITE!

They make way too easy for me……and for that I thank them……

Playing Games With People’s Lives

Daily Agitator

I have pointed out many times the silly little pathetic games that politicians are playing with people’s lives and livelihood……..health reform is one of those games and we can talk and talk with NO common ground…..either you think Americans need adequate health care or they do not….it is that simple but the lawyers in Washington, those people we call our representatives, care not…the only thing that is important to them is the GAME…….

There is other place these pathetic little toads are playing this game….one of the newest is with unemployment benefits….in an article written by Patrick martin:

Inaction by the US Senate last week will result in the cutoff of extended unemployment benefits and COBRA health care coverage to more than one million workers. The cutoff, which began to take effect Sunday night, demonstrates the unbridgeable social gulf between the working class and the denizens of Capitol Hill, both Democrats and Republicans.

The bill to extend unemployment benefits and COBRA coverage was blocked by Republican Senator Jim Bunning, an arch-reactionary from Kentucky who took advantage of a Senate rule requiring unanimous consent to bring the legislation to a vote before the weekend.

Bunning, who is not running for reelection, was contemptuous of the suffering that he was helping inflict on more than one million workers, including an estimated 60,000 from his home state. He demanded that Senate Democrats agree to pay for the extended benefits without creating new debt, and declared that his actions were intended “to send a message to the American people.”

The Democratic leadership calculated that by allowing Bunning to block the extension they would be able to put the Republican minority in a bad light. Reid, Durbin and Vice President Joseph Biden issued hypocritical statements denouncing Bunning, but there was no move to invoke cloture.

Instead, the Democrats said they would bring the bill up again next week. Responding to the political embarrassment, Republican Whip Jon Kyl said Sunday that while he supported Bunning in principle, the Republicans would vote to approve a 30-day extension for the unemployment program while further negotiations were conducted on a bipartisan bill to extend the program for an entire year.

As I have said….a pathetic pack of arrogant, self-indulgent pr*cks…..they are playing with you LIFE….do you NOT understand that?

I know I should stop asking this question….when will the American people wise up to these false prophets (in case you wanted a biblical reference)?   BTW, that is NOT a rhetorical question!
