As you know President Obama wants to have yet ANOTHER marathon talk-fest about his dead in the water health care “reform” bill. He has invited the Pubbies to sit down and in a “systematic” way go over the various points of his Medicus Maximus bill to see if any “common ground” exists. I sincerely hope Congressional Republicans are smart enough to see this for the setup that it is. The only point of this dreary, tiresome exercise in futility is to paint the GOP as the “Party of No.”
When I was making calls for Scott Brown’s campaign, one dyed-in-the-wool Democrat said we were the “Party of No.” I did not respond to his sarcasm but the thought did go through my head that being the ” party of no” was a very reasonable stance to take when considering the awful implications for society from this disastrous bill.
I urge the GOP to remain the “Party of No,” not for craven political reasons, but because it is good for the country. There is a very strange political philosophy that has tried to ingrain itself in Washington since the 2008 elections. It is almost self-destructuve in it’s attempt to remake the economy and society in a way that is anathema to a vast majority of Americans. You know this, I know this and poll after poll reflect it. And yet the lemmings of the Democrat Party have, until the Massachusetts Miracle was pulled off, continued to follow the lead of a rogue President who seems wedded to noxious bills that have been rejected by the voters, who have gone to great lengths to express their displeasure about the direction the country is headed in.
Hopefully the Republican leadership will reamin committed to their policy of united opposition to Obama’s attempt to wreck the Health Care industry and in the process, the economy. I predict that grateful voters will reward the GOP with big gains in both Houses of Congress this November.
Sometimes just saying “No” is a good thing.
