Dems Bailing-Not A Good Thing
Posted By TFMo on January 6, 2010
This week, we’ve had three Democrats saying they’re out; Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan, both Senators, announced they will not seek re-election in November. Unfortunately, we’re still stuck with them until November, and Dodd has announced that he plans on making the health care overhaul-slash-nosedive into socialism his legacy, in the memory of his good buddy Ted and all the waitresses they sexually assaulted.
This is not a good thing.
The Dems know this bill is wildly unpopular, and they know it’s going to be a nightmare. Why else would they insist on closed-door deliberations, refusing formal conference, midnight weekend meetings, and telling C-SPAN to go pound sand? And lest we forget, none of the people voting on this monstrosity, from either side of the aisle, will be forced to participate.
Unlike you and I.
By announcing that they are not seeking re-election, they announced to us all that they have nothing to lose. Worse than lame ducks, they are Kamikaze pilots; fully intent on sacrificing their political careers for their socialist ideology. They are now free to dive headlong into any insane legislation they can imagine, and the voter be damned.
It’s great to see fewer Dems, don’t get me wrong. But please, do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security. We must be even more vigilant now. It’s a long road to November, and the Dems are playing Wile E. Coyote with the signs.
