Yes, it is. So what to do, Sir? What do we do?
As I write this at 1:26pst, tomorrow we will see an out of touch Congress pass the Senate health care fiasco. Then that and the House bill go to conference. They will massage it and buy off any dissenting politicians, and the bill will be passed (no matter how watered down) just to get the camels nose in the tent.
The Dims/libs believe that this time next year, all will be forgotten and they will be voted back in office. I fear they may be correct. And even if conservatives were to take back the House and the Senate (unlikely), then what? Obambi will still have the final say, and any socialist health care bill is solidified into the National paradigm. My suggestion...
STATES' RIGHTS is our last best hope.
Push the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. Make that the issue of the day.
STATES’ RIGHTS is our last best hope.
...and that rests in the hands of Governors with balls of brass, and state legislators with the same. Apologies in advance to the ballless, a gender issue that has less to do with the situation, than the mental toughness, indicated by the metaphor.
There have been hopeful signs recently that some of them will stand. I believe if five, as you say, did stand, that quite a few others very well could follow suite.
