The health (s)care bill last night was actually bi-partisan—bi-partisan opposition, that is. These are the 34 Dems who voted no yesterday. And if any of them are in your district, call and thank them. They deserve it:
Rep. John Adler (N.J.), Rep. Jason Altmire (Pa.), Rep. Michael Arcuri (N.Y.), Rep. John Barrow (Ga.), Rep. Marion Berry (Ark.), Rep. Dan Boren (Okla.), Rep. Rick Boucher (Va.), Rep.

Exactly. It was a CYA to help soften the political fallout come november. It’s all about power, nothing else.
It is true that many are starting to see through the deal, dare we call it conspiracy.
It is still depressing how many do not. When one is an organization man, a yes-man, one is indeed covered by the organization (incl. financing), until one's number is called. This has only been an MO among the corrupt since humanity organized.
Although many on this website refuse to see it, similarly maintaining that the "Republican Party" is the only way to stop the Left is exactly wrong. The Republican Party is also an organization man, i.e. a yes-man. And when and if they acquire power there is again only some myopic orchestrated agenda from the top, with reaction and conflict all over again.
This is the logical fallacy of Game Theory, you against me; the most sophisticated versions being The Prisoner's Dilemma, or from the Cold War, Mutually Assured Destruction. This logic is fallible.
When an evil like Leftism (centralized dependence and control of individual humanity) is rampant but widely recognized and loathed, then it is critical to invoke creative, multiple, spearheads, in today's political circumstances third or fourth or fifth parties.
Imagine a national debate with five participants, four of whom ruthlessly expose the corruption and human violation of the LEFT. Expose it from all sides, its deal making, its arrogance, its avarice, its incivility, its juvenilism.
Does any one expect The Republican Party, on its own, to do this?
Yet over and over here we see the frustrated "Republican" organization man trying to re-straighten the Party. This frustration is what The Tea Party is about, and we give them all encouragement to go wide and put the elitist conspiracy of "parties" in general in perspective.

Yeah, right.
At least for one of them, Ike Skelton of MO...it was surely a CYA move.
Trying to sound like he feared for our military vets.
What a hypocrite.
The “proud” was sarcasm.
Vote Them Out!
