Daschle's Out-- How Will It Impact Health Care Reform?

>

Rootless, Inside-the-Beltway hacks all start acting like Republicans sooner or later

The nation's first post-partisan president is experiencing some speedbumps on the Post-partisan Express. As expected, John McCain announced he would oppose the Stimulus Package that Obama wants to use to fix all the problems caused by years and years of Republican economic and fiscal perfidy that McCain supported. And then Nancy Killefer's withdrawal for the new job at OMB, turned out to be the tipping point for Tom Daschle, who withdrew. Hopefully Obama won't nominate Bill Frist. I guess if he goes for Howard Dean he'd accomplish four things: teach his partisan enemies not to look a gift horse (Daschle) in the mouth, reinforce his commitment to keep lobbyists out of government (and that includes people married to lobbyists-- "Oh but I'm not in the Mafia, only my spouse is"), prod Rahm Emanuel into committing suicide, and-- if anyone really cares-- wind up with real health care reform, not the kitty cat version that Daschle envisioned.

Limbaugh and his cadre in Congress smell blood in the water and they're not into this whole post-partisan thing. Watch them go after Hilda Solis now-- and watch Obama run for cover... and lose the trust of the people who elected him. Next time, let's make sure we elect a partisan president to play in the shark infested waters.

Oh-- and here's the brand spanking new Howard Dean for HHS Facebook page. Expect all Inside-the-Beltway types to oppose this. Watch and you'll see who's trustworthy and who's not.

But the more I think about this, the more it pisses me off.

Limbaugh thinks he runs this country! AND HE DOES!!

When he belches out some nonsense, the entire Republican party falls all over itself lapping it up. And the Spineless Democrats don't do a damned thing about it - with only a handful of exceptions, none will call him out for being the stupid, worthless, traitorous, drug-addled gasbag he is.

This just turns my stomach.

I'm not about to cry any tears over a lobbyist being shown the door but imagine if ALL of Washington were held to the same standards as Daschle. Imagine if all of those senatorial and media hacks who point their well-manicured fingers were held to those standards. Suddenly, Congress would be virtually empty, parking spaces would be easy to find inside the beltway, and Washington restaurants and bars would be begging us to come in. I can't help but noticed that the media didn't bother to give John McCain's tax problems equal attention when HE was up for a position in our government , and his problems have been going on for at least four years. Bias? Fair and balanced? You decide!

The beauty of this is that Obama tried to pay back his loyal non-registered lobbyist lobbyist early supporter Daschle and it turned to cacka. So, even.

Doesn't that make a lot of sense- having an MD in HHS? YEEEHA!

Let's get a Democrap in there with STONES-Kucinich!
First Secretary of Peace!

Daschle's nothing but a lobbyist for the drug companies and HMOs and made millions doing it. During the campaign Obama seemed to favor Health insurance rather than health care. DR.s and Nurses provide health care. Insurance Companies run gambling operations where they bet you'll pay more than you need for your care so they can take a percent off the top. We need to pass the Conyer's bill now. Universal Heath care for all. This would do more to help our stupid economy than the stimulus package. Think how much more profitable our auto and other businesses would be. How many fewer bankruptcy's would there be? Who ever can help do this should be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not Tom Daschle who couldn't even get reelected in his home state. Of course he comes from a state of stupidity.
