ANGRY ELEPHANTJoel's Rant

The Constitution vs. Political Corruption; the Showdown is Here!

Okay, it's now official.  The Democrat Party is now the political party of wholesale and unmitigated corruption.  Clearly the Republican Party has been known to practice some nefarious activities of their own, but not like this.  Not on this scale.  Not when that corruption reaches every home and every person living in America.  This is offensive and dastardly.  This is the Soviet Politburo come alive, right here in our nation's capital.

 

If Barack Hussein Obama and the Capitol Hill Democrats had the votes, would they be gaming the system, changing the rules, forcing their version of health reform down the throats of the American people?  If their health care plan were good for the country, would they need to bribe and buy the votes of senators from Nebraska, Louisiana, Florida, Vermont, and Massachusetts and their labor union contributors to the detriment of the rest of the nation?  Would they have to resort to this unconstitutional behavior?  And would they have to hide these and other debasements in a 2700 page document that even Nancy Pelosi herself, claimed earlier this week, has no idea what's in this bill?

 

Forget completely the Senate's standard rule of requiring a super-majority of 60 votes to pass important and far-reaching legislation.  If they had the votes would they need to float the idea that VP Joe Biden might, using his power as the President of the Senate, override the House Parliamentarian and change to the Democrat's benefit even the Reconciliation Rules to illegitimately bend them even more in their favor?   In effect, the Democrats are doing everything they can to literally steal this vote. 

 

If this isn't outright tyranny I'm not sure what is.  Can someone explain to me how this isn't tyranny of the sort practiced by the totalitarian regimes of the past?

 

Without even getting into the well documented economic peril this bill brings to our country, you have to know something is very wrong when even the Democrats admit that this bill actually collects 10 years of taxes to pay for only 6 years of so-called benefits and that's how they rationalize it will be deficit neutral.  Are you getting how insane that is?

 

But there are dangers hidden in those 2700 pages that rarely get discussed, that rarely see the light of day, which can bring misery and menace to the American people.  Are you aware that this bill allows the federal government to go into your bank accounts, without your authorization, and electronically take from them anything they want?  Why do they want that power?  If that doesn't scare you, try this.

 

 Are you aware that this bill authorizes payments to doctors based only on their "positive outcomes", not on the procedures they perform?  That sounds pretty good, no?  The answer is NO, that's not good, that's disastrous.   If a doctor will only be paid if you get well, then the physician community will only take the easy to heal cases.  The tough stuff, the life threatening stuff, the stuff that doesn't always work out, they'll take a pass on since otherwise they may not be paid.  Is that something you want to accept?

 

Or how about the fact that this bill authorizes the government to reduce the reimbursements of those doctors that perform the most procedures or tests?  This bill calls for reducing each year the reimbursements of the top 10% of doctors that run up the most procedures or tests.  And every year another "top 10%" get their reimbursements cut and so on and so on.  That's sounds pretty good, no?  The answer is NO, that's not good, that's disastrous.  What that means is that doctors will be reluctant to do a procedure, even if they think you need one, or be reluctant to send you for a test, even if they think you need one, because otherwise they may find themselves in that top 10% and thereby get their reimbursements cut.  Is that something you want to accept? 

 

That's just some of the stuff that's in this bill, for crying out loud. There's much more.   Are you worried?  You should be.

 

So why are Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats forcing this upon the American people when clearly this bill is unacceptable?  And why do they insist on voting this coming week?  What are they afraid of? 

 

The answer is because this bill will forever change the relationship the people of this country will have with the federal government.  This is what will change this country from capitalist to socialist, from a society of producers to a society of victims, beholden to the government for their survival.  The country will be changed from a place of liberty to a place of government control.  And they need to do it right now because they fear the American people, other than the drones and takers, are figuring all this out and the president and his minions are running out of time.  And they know it.

 

But I believe there's a silver lining if this catastrophe passes through Reconciliation and becomes the law of the land.  If that happens, the Republicans and conservative minded Members of Congress should immediately run on a platform of repealing this bill also through Reconciliation.  Now, since Barack Hussein Obama will veto such an appeal, it would be necessary to wait until 2012 when a conservative president takes control and in that case the bill will be repealed.

 

But that's not all.  In my vision, with the Reconciliation membrane breached, the conservatives, along with a conservative president, will be able to take a hammer to all the socialist and wasteful programs of the last 80 years and repeal or change them all; using only 51 votes instead of the otherwise required 60 votes.  It'll actually be possible to undo it all, and I mean ALL!

 

And that's all there is to it.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS  

Fellow Patriots,

Please help me and my campaign team distribute a second batch of 5,000 door hangers in Howard County. Targeted leafleting is one of the best ways of getting our "common sense" message out to the voters -- but we can't do it without dozens of dedicated volunteers!

 

Weather permitting (no heavy rain or snow), volunteers will meet at my house (9206 Perfect Hour, Columbia, MD 21045) at 10:00 AM on the following Saturday:

 

March 20

 

After leafleting for a couple of hours, everybody will be treated to lunch, hot cider and warming conversation! To sign up or if you have any questions, please e-mail campaign field coordinator Ron Bartyczak at rbartyczak@hotmail.com or call (410) 381-4938. Your help will be highly appreciated and will make a huge impact on November 2!

 

Best,

 

Ed Priola
