Thanks to all but thirty-eight democrats and one republican, we now have a health care bill ready for the senate. The political know-it-all's are telling us that the house bill is DOA in the Senate.
Boy, I feel better knowing that. (I'm lookin' right at you Lindsey Graham)
If anyone thinks for one minute this bill doesn't have a chance in the senate, I'd sell you some beach front land in the Arctic, but thanks to global warming, there is no Arctic. (I'm lookin' right at you Rush.)
You have roughly 100 would-be presidential candidates in the senate. That's more ego's than a NBA locker room or hollywood movie set. So a ton of money is going to have to be thrown around to make these guys and gals do the 'will of the people'. Granted they could milk this for months and get invites to the Sunday shows (John McCain) and have these Joan River-wanna-be-interviewers ask such probing questions like, "Senator, how does it make you feel to know there are 40 million people uninsured in this country?"or "How important is this upcoming vote?"
Don't count on the media for an in-depth, unbiased look into the facts of this bill. Do wait for them to talk about all the tax increases and what effect they will have on an economy hanging on by a thread. An certainly don't expect them to question the rush that is likely to occur to get this voted on in the Senate. They could milk this, but they can't. The longer this lingers for the public to think about and digest, the more opposition grows vocal.
DOA in the Senate? Not likely.
Watch these guys carefully. (I'm lookin' at you Ben Nelson (NE))
There's one massive kick to the groin coming our way. Hold your breath.
