Democrats proving Again That Compromise is Not an Option on Healthcare

In this report we get a nice one-two punch. Not only are we seeing Democrats once again refusing even a tiny compromise with Republicans on Obama's takeover of nearly 20% of our economy with his healthcare plans, but we also get to see another example of why Huffington Post is not journalism. I like a nice one-two punch for a Wednesday.

For one thing, the HuffPo article hilariously calls Democrat pitbull Rahm Emanuel a “conservative Democrat.” But let's start with the more important political point and deal with the HuffPo chicanery second.

In a HuffPo "report" by Sam Stein, we see leftists, and extreme activists getting their shorts in a wad over the proposition from Republicans that the so-called public option only be set off by a "trigger," one that would usher in that public option if insurance companies "fail to deliver" the affordable coverage that Obama is demanding. This trigger idea would exclude the public option at the outset only to have it come in later if needed.

So, Obama is playing the I’m-a-reasonable-guy game. Pretending on one hand that everything is on the table and he’ll listen to everyone to get a good plan, yet on the other insisting that everything isn’t on the table because he insists that a government takeover of healthcare be implemented.

“Not only are we seeing Democrats once again refusing even a tiny compromise with Republicans.....”

This is a point I’ve tried to make at the site I attended prior to coming to FR in 2004, and have tried to make since being here as well.

It drives me nuts everytime I read about “reaching across the aisle” to some damned Democrat(s) by some damned RINO(s) representing, or rather of the Republican Party.

MY POINT has always been that there is NO SUCH THING AS NEGOTIATION WITH A DEMOCRAT. Those days have been gone for thirty years or more.

The Democrats have left us no choice but to DEFEAT THEM, OR CAPITULATE TO THEM. No other choices are available.

If they want Healthcare, then we have to defeat their drive towards that goal period. There is no negotiating, there is no discussion, there is only stop their advance towards their goal, or roll over and let them have their way.

That is why the Left rejoices in the Lindsey Graham’s, the John McCains’s, the Snowe’s, the Collin’s, etc. they have on the inside at the GOP, thus why I constantly rant about getting rid of the RINO’s as being the major battle to winning the war.
