Health care over – Crazy talk not

March 22nd, 2010 bumpkin 24 comments

With Health care reform passed, there are those calling it the greatest progressive achievement of the last two generations and those that think it is disaster in the making – a valid concern providing you’ve gotten your information about the bill’s content from a reputable source.
.
And then there are those on the Congressional floor calling Democrats Baby Killers, accusing the president of lying, and threatening violence if health care reform passed. And let’s not forget the teabagger protesters who called a 60′s era civil rights activists a ni**er, called Barney Frank a fa**ot, and spat on democratic members of congress. I’m sure the vast majority of Republicans are mortified by these fringe lunatics – and GOP leadership would do well to start denouncing this behavior and distancing themselves from them instead of speaking at their rallies.
.
The November elections will be interesting. Without a single Republican vote, the Democrat’s rose from the ashes of the Scott Brown conflagration and snatched health care victory from the jaws of defeat. With they be praised or pummelled at the polls? Will Republicans be cast as the party of “No” who were still munching free chicken wings at happy hour while the health care bus roared past them on the way to history? Or will they be swept to victory by a pitchfork-wielding angry mob of voters.
.
Interesting and historic event but the Hitler mustaches and crazy-talk attacks have got to go.
