Politics Unusual

I'm disappointed in the politics of healthcare reform. Mainly because there is no more reform in the bill that is being eviscerated in the Senate right now. It's not just the Republicans who are doing it because they have lost any power they had and the only thing left to them is obstruction. If you can't do what you want to, prevent any good from being done by the other party.

It has become a political shell game. Leiberman is the biggest asshole in this mess. He has held up what would be the 60 votes needed to pass reform because he can. That is fucking criminal. That little shit should be recalled right now. Not because he is a weasel. Actually that is the reason to recall him. He is not working for the people who hired him by voting him into office, he is working for his ego. The President and all of Congress should take him out to the political woodshed and beat the political tar out of him. How Dare HE?

The bill as it stands right now has no public option, not lowering of medicare age requirements, basically nothing that would be reform. It forces people to buy into insurance companies products or get fined. Great boon for the health industry.

Harry Reid should put all the things that the bill should have back in and let it go for a vote. Put in the public option and everything else that Republicans and pansy ass hold out Democrats didn't like and let it get voted on. And when it fails go on television and tell people who don't have insurance that it is the fault of these Senators and Representatives listed here. You want healthcare, then these people need to be removed from office.

Mr Obama I voted for you. "Yes We Can" has become "What The Fuck?" You are the President. Play some fucking HARD BALL. And if you are a one term President, it won't be because you were a pussy. Sir, don't be so worried about keeping your job that you forget to do your job.

I watch The West Wing on Bravo all the time, and I would love to have Josiah Bartlett as my President. And why do I care so much? My health insurance thru SAG ends in 13 days.
