The Hill: Harkin says he has the votes to pass public option bill in the Senate
The American people don't want it? Too. Freaking. Bad. We're ramming it down their throats. It's what we do.
Bonus: Is this picture crying for a caption contest, or what? Harkin: "Back off, Jack! I'm married!"
Towel-slapping fight the liberal way.
ReplyDelete"Ooh, there you have that!"
If they think the townhall uproar was bad, pass a bill that ignores the desires of 56% of the populace and watch all hell break loose.
ReplyDeleteMost of the townhall anger stemmed from feeling that our reps were/are ignoring us. The dems may think they want to do that, but they'd be in for a surprise.
We're ramming it down their throats. It's what we do.
ReplyDeleteI recall them saying almost exactly that in the Clinton era, but it didn't quite work out for them.
Tap, tap, tap...... Is this thing on?
ReplyDeleteHello...... is anybody home?
(and don't tell me you're all at work)
Harkin: "You want this poster? Here ya go...ha! Too late! Can't have it!"
ReplyDeleteeschew_obfuscation: I heard you! And yes, you are completely correct. It's going to make the townhalls look like -- well, like a tea party (of the white glove and cucumber sandwich variety).

Back to the topic: I don't believe the Dems have the votes at all. There's too much division between the supporters of the public option and those who oppose it. And no Republican in their right mind is going to vote for this atrocity in any way, shape or form. I can't wait to see how they're going to spin it to blame Republicans for the bill's failure, when in fact they can't sell it to their own members.

Remember the Emergency spending bill late last year? The first pass didn't happen, but would have passed if 12 democrats had voted "yay" instead of "nay".
Naturally, the Democrats went off and blamed the Republicans anyway.

ReplyDeleteI think that would work better. Give it a try, you can always change it later. C2 is a work in progress and will have to stay fluid.
Pink: No, we don't. They don't care about individuals; they prefer faceless groups that can be labeled and who are assumed to have identical interests. That's why their heads explode at the thought of a black or Hispanic Republican.
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole book about it - What's the Matter with Kansas, whose entire premise is that middle-class and working-class voters are too stupid to know what's good for them. The author assumes they've been brainwashed and bamboozled by Republicans, when it would be to their economic advantage to vote Democrat. I voted Republican when we were struggling financially because I knew GOP policies would make it possible for us to do better, and I was right.
Pi Guy: I like the 8am EST time slot as well. That way we get loaded up with fruit cup and news at 5 EST/2 EST, and then relax with fun facts and stuff. :)
ReplyDelete/also keeps threads from filling up too much until RB or CC starts the Daily broadsheet
Pi Guy, Erik - you guys are right. We didn't start doing the pub every day in the late afternoon until after I had suggested that time slot to Pi - so Pi, wherever you think it would work best is fine. I just thought people might miss it if it went up at midnight PST, and I wanted it to get more attention than that.
ReplyDeleteIn the new site, Pi Guy's forum will be open around the clock, so it won't be an issue - he'll have his own "room", and will be able to do a variety of things with it...and people can check it out all day long. (There will be an RSS feed site-wide so you can see when something new goes up in any given "room".)

ReplyDeleteYes, P2 - that's what all these different "forums" are about. There will be a Friends of Israel forum (managed by Carl in Jerusalem), a financial forum (managed by 3wood...he'll be helping out in the Pub with pro sports talk, too); Pi Guy is the history forum manager, Bar Wench and littleoldlady have the Liberty Pub (its own area on the site), and there will be a new "what are you reading" kind of book/coffeehouse forum that will be announced later today, but is still in development. Bare will manage a Help & Support forum with a little help from some others, and the main page, The Daily Broadside, will have a variety of contributors, including JCM.
ReplyDeleteWe have a terrific set of moderators too, with a great manager.
It's very different than what people are probably used to, yes - but think of it as seven or eight blogs all on one site, that are related and populated by the same people, but with their own distinct personalities.

ploome, illegal immigration is definitely a factor. Legal immigrants by and large are well educated and hard working. IMO, one of the benefits of eliminating illegal immigration is that we can become very selective about the immigrants we accept. We've got enough unskilled labor, thank you very much, and I think they are a big part of the problem.
ReplyDeletePeople with a victim attitude, who think others are gaining at their expense, want the government to take from others and give to them, because they think that's "fair." Sorry, Skippy - life isn't fair, but in this country everyone has an opportunity to make the most of what God gave them. If you don't make the effort, it's not my problem. (True need, unforeseen catastrophes and such are another story, of course.)

ReplyDeleteEven though it came out before the Roman Polanski news, this Andrew Klavan video is even more relevant than it was originally!
ReplyDeletePretty close quarters on a sub....I am not seeing the wisdom of that move either.
ReplyDeleteDesert Dog: You bet. She would have demanded we launch a campaign using special forces to retrieve him, send him to Gitmo for a little light waterboarding, and finish up with public execution and display of his head on a pike in front of the Capitol building.

ReplyDeleteopps, got a wayward "a" in there. Sorry. Although I kinda like it. :)
ReplyDeletedopppel,
ReplyDeletePolanski is a child abuser, a pedophile, and a rapist.
Such people in my book get no second chances, they go away for good, 1 strike your out, if I really had my way the twigs and berries would be in a jar out side their cell so they could look at them every day.

The View's Whoopi Goldberg on Polanski: 'It Wasn't Rape-Rape'
I know it wasn't rape-rape... All I'm trying to get you to understand, is when we're talking about what someone did, and what they were charged with, we have to say what it actually was not what we think it was...,
I just now saw a report on the Swiss TV about Polanskis arrest, at first they mentioned his filmographic accomplishments having some artists praising him and went on in talking about the legal whys and hows.
In conclusion they asked several people of the street and got an entirely different opinion the average Joe 'n Jane will always tell you that the rule of law must be abided by everyone. Even the rich and famous have to be brought before justice. Rape is Rape no matter how one tries to explain it.
- That showed yet again the moral bearings of the gliteraty as compared to us 'mere mortals'.
Naught to one!
I am outta here!
