Democrats SUCK!

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called the health care bill that is now headed for cloture “a legislative train wreck of historic proportions.” Most of the country agrees with him. Nonetheless, the Senate is on its way to imposing its will on the American people just for the sake of saying that they accomplished something. This is a truly sad moment in American history.

The Senate Democrats have cajoled, bribed and threatened their way to a 60 vote super-majority. Each of the Democratic Senators that had objected to the bill have been “convinced” to vote for cloture. This puts the bill one step closer to passage. The next step is to reconcile the bill with the House version.

Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) was the last hold out against the bill. He had expressed concerns about federal funds being used for abortions. He wanted specific language in the bill to prevent public moneys from being used for this purpose. According to reports today, he got some language inserted into the bill, but it is not clear what it is or how much he compromised his conscience. There are also rumors that he was given monetary incentives for his state. How pathetic is that?

It is not too late. Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them how you want them to vote. Remind them that this is the United States of America—not the Socialist States of America. Remind them that your vote and opinion matters.
