Jewish World Review Jan. 11, 2011 / 6 Shevat, 5771 The charge of the Right brigade By Dave Weinbaum
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
After a debatable start in the Lame Quack Session, Republicans have promised —
well, to keep their promises, thus raising the hackles of Dems and the Obama
Regime. All of a sudden lefty Congressmen are coming to the defense of what
some would say was the bill that killed the donkey: Obamacare.
Following their election mantra to repeal Obamacare, Repubs recognize what
Dems lost sight of: the will of the American People. It should be noted that the
only Dems bragging or even bringing up Obamacare during the last election were
those who voted against it, desperately separating themselves from the puppet
strings of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. In case you're from Fishkill , New York , the
Dems experienced an election tsunami, not seen since 1938.
I will admit to one insensitive, outlandish cruelty perpetrated by those on the right
side of the aisle.
The House Repubs assaulted sensitive Dem and Progressives ears everywhere
by reading the Constitution in front of the whole country as their first activity
after the swear-in.
The audacity!
Long time Progressive NYC Congressman, Jerrod Nadler whined the
Constitutional reading was "ritualistic…total nonsense…propaganda." Yet, he
and 549 others in Congress have sworn before G-d and the world to uphold
and defend this brilliant document from foreign and domestic enemies. Makes
one wonder how many of those who swear the above oath are committing
perjury as their first act in office.
Those who wait for things happen are beaten
by those who make things happen.
On the legal front, a federal judge ruled the main cash-raising tool of Obamcare,
forcing all citizens to buy health insurance or be penalized, unconstitutional.
This judgment will be appealed all the way to the Supremes, where chances
are its unconstitutionality will be upheld. But the country can't rely on "Hope
and Change."
As a political issue, the Republicans must follow though. Reasons?
The bill's repeal is all but guaranteed in the House. The Reid-run Senate is
another story. Reid will do anything to protect Obama from a potential veto
if, by some chance, it passes the upper chamber.
Either way, it's a winner set-up for Repubs in their quest to grab the remaining
2/3 of government, the Senate and the Presidency. Dems showed they're only
capable of personal attacks like the Aqua Buddha accusation in the Rand Paul
election, the witch label for Christine O'Donnell or the illegal maid scandal of
Meg Whitman. When it came to policy debate, Dems detested them like
Bubba in a room having to share the podium with the Obama.
Let's not forget the albatrosses Dems have allowed to continue to drag them
down. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been voted another term as leaders
of the Dem Party. Who doesn't believe in miracles after that?
And they're still using the blame-the-last-guy game. Former Speaker Pelosi
recently said the shellacking Dems took in November was Bush's fault!
History will be kinder to Dubya than anyone thought.
Right Brigade, one thing—before you "charge," cancel your US Treasury
credit cards.
We're way over our limit!
