The Morning After

The WSJ hates Obamacare.  In other news, the Chicago Cubs have failed to win the World Series again, and the sun is on fire and hot.
And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the last few days before Christmas are the opportune moment for a narrow majority of Democrats to stuff ObamaCare through the Senate to meet an arbitrary White House deadline. Barring some extraordinary reversal, it now seems as if they have the 60 votes they need to jump off this cliff, with one-seventh of the economy in tow.

Mr. Obama promised a new era of transparent good government, yet on Saturday morning Mr. Reid threw out the 2,100-page bill that the world's greatest deliberative body spent just 17 days debating and replaced it with a new "manager's amendment" that was stapled together in covert partisan negotiations. Democrats are barely even bothering to pretend to care what's in it, not that any Senator had the chance to digest it in the 38 hours before the first cloture vote at 1 a.m. this morning. After procedural motions that allow for no amendments, the final vote could come at 9 p.m. on December 24.

Even in World War I there was a Christmas truce.
Dear WSJ Editorial Board:

The Democrats aren't the ones who declared war.   I know you guys have a long history of being unable to tell which side actually is the one starting the war and you haven't gotten that right since 2002, but once again you're going after the wrong people.  I also know that it hasn't occurred to you that the reason there's a vote on Christmas Eve this year was because Republicans tried to kill funding the wars we're currently fighting just to try to slow down this bill until the New Year.

Do attempt to get the facts right once in a while.

Thanks.

  1. Ha, no. These assholes are PAID to make sure the facts aren't straight, and lies are taken as truth.

    It's times like this I have to wonder why these failures aren't, you know, being shot. I guess people aren't pissed enough yet.
