These Guys Have Got To Go

Democrats in Washington realize how unpopular their actions are.  That's why they're doing their level best to concoct their nefarious work in secret.  And without support from anyone in this country beyond the rabidly liberal left.

The Wall Street Journal:
Change Nobody Believes In
A bill so reckless that it has to be rammed through on a partisan vote on Christmas eve.
editorial

Mr. Obama promised a new era of transparent good government, yet on Saturday morning Mr. Reid threw out the 2,100-page bill that the world's greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating and replaced it with a new "manager's amendment" that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations. Democrats are barely even bothering to pretend to care what's in it, not that any Senator had the chance to digest it in the 38 hours before the first cloture vote at 1 a.m. this morning. After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on December 24.

The rushed, secretive way that a bill this destructive and unpopular is being forced on the country shows that "reform" has devolved into the raw exercise of political power for the single purpose of permanently expanding the American entitlement state. An increasing roll of leaders in health care and business are looking on aghast at a bill that is so large and convoluted that no one can truly understand it, as Finance Chairman Max Baucus admitted on the floor last week. The only goal is to ram it into law while the political window is still open, and clean up the mess later. [link]
The future of our country is in the hands of these snakes.  At least until next November.

Let's fix this problem then, starting by sending these scumbags back to whatever cesspit they crawled out of.

Till then fear for the survival of our beloved USA is in order.

And if I may be allowed to play my little broken record -- don't let the opposition divide and conquer us.

Don't let the Roanoke Times and others in that camp fan a war between Conservatives, Tea Partiers, Libertarians, Palinistas, and the GOP. This is their game plan. This is how they think they will survive 2010.

We need to argue and fight over principles among ourselves, but when the time comes, we need to turn on the corrupt "Progressives" and send them packing. The fate of the American Republic is at stake.

Rope. Tree. Senator. Assembly required.

Salt Lick,

Too bad, this split has already happened.

Jerry,

As I have mentioned in the past, you want to shine a spotlight on any Democrat "conspiracy" to limit debate, although you never called the GOP out for doing the same... remember CAFTA?
