There you go again, Bucco. Please don't tell me what I will do or how I will react to a future political developments. You have been consistent in your criticism of this President and this administration, regardless of what they've done. In fact, it's hard to believe that anyone could be so consistently wrong, but your criticism is your right. But as you well know, Bucco, I have praised this administration when I think they've done well as I've been critical of some other things they've done. Please don't paint me into the same one-sided, ideologically-unyielding, and ignore-the-facts political posture you so consistently demonstrate.
Yep. That's exactly what's going to happen. In fact, commentators from both the left (Tavis Smiley) and right (Joe Scarborough) on Face The Nation this morning say that's what should happen. Both observed that the American people spoke loudly in November, 2008 and gave the Democrats the legislative majority to do just about anything they want (until 2010, at least). Both the commentators as well as the members of Congress interviewed on the Sunday shows also say that "ramming it thru" is what is likely. It's just too bad that there is such an absence of statesmanship in the Congress to permit some meeting of the ideological minds. Short of that, something does need to be rammed thru to begin to correct our critical healthcare problems. If one side is trampled on as the result, so be it. The electorate has another chance to speak in 2010.If that's what the majority of Americans want, it'll happen. But if they vote as they have in many past elections, for the incumbents that are there and who have established the connections to raise campaign contributions to buy their way into re-election, like Chelsea said...it's not gonna happen. My reasons are in addition to those she cited (and will not reflect the way I intend to vote), but my conclusion is the same...it ain't gonna happen.
