Washington State Demos Support BHO Agenda (Openly)

The local television campaign ads may not be examples of all that is wrong with American politics, but they are not far from it. Democrat Senator Patty Murry says that Dino Rossi is a pawn of big corporations, especially Wall Street. To prove it, she plays a short clip in which Dino says he would vote to repeal the Wall Street Reform Bill. He should have said he would repeal the Wall Street so-called reform bill. Obviously no one is against reform but he opposes the bill for what is in it, not for its title. The bill is over 2,000 pages of who knows what. Like the other bills passed by the sitting Democrats with the help of a few Rinos, it enacts into law more of the socialistic, state control agenda of the far left.

This blog and many others along with talk radio have explained some of the aims of recent Wall Street take-over attempts by government. The Party's primary purpose is to funnel power and money to the constituent groups of Barack Obama and his leftist associates, and Wall Street is where the power and money is. Mr. Rossi should obviously want it repealed. Unfortunately, his message is, "Our problems did not start yesterday, but I will start fixing them tomorrow." A Tea Party candidate would go to the the heart of the current debate and point out that Democrat Party socialistic policies are what caused our problems. In other states, the Democrat candidates are facing that kind of opposition and respond by disavowing their support of Obama / Pelosi / Ried. Unfortunately, almost all these 'blue dog' Democrats vote with their party when they are back in Washington, DC. In Washington State, the Demo's don't have to distance themselves from their Masters in the other Washington.

The Left Not Playing with a Full Deck

The Democrats, the radical left, and the press are always playing the race card, however ineptly. The truth is they do not have many cards to play. Journalist Chris Mathew's comment that during the Sate of the Union Address, he forgot for an hour that Barak Obama was black is a case in point. Since the campaign began, race has been the most important issue for Chris Mathews. Contrary to what he and Democrat politicians are always telling us, based upon the history of the last two centuries and on a lot of recent comments from Democrats, it is obvious that racial prejudice is a significant characteristic mostly of the left. Biden said candidate Obama was "clean." Democrat Senator Ried said he had light skin and no negro dialect. The liberal apologists in the press, i.e., most of the press, explain these remarks as clumsy compliments. On the other hand they never tire of stating that America is still a racist country. I would submit that comments like 'light skin' were calculated messages to racist Democrats that this black boy is OK. They knew he could usher in the most radical measures that this nation has ever seen. With him they had the black vote and the far left vote, they just need the old boy vote. They wanted to let their own party members know that it was OK to vote for this black. The only person I know who did not vote for him on account of race was one of my uncles who had never voted for a Republican in his life. I guess he had to skip the last election.

Race is no issue at all for conservatives and Republicans. At least, they never reach the issue of race in their deliberations. The choices are so stark already, why worry about race when there is so much wrong with just being a modern Democrat? I forgot that BHO was part black a long time ago. During the speech, I could not forget for five minutes that he is a communist. He spoke about one aspect of society after another which he wanted government to take a leading role in. A leading role, as we have seen, can quickly transform into near total control if not outright ownership. He wants to go from the current government assistance for student loans to government takeover, and give a repayment break for 'government service' while he's at it. Are ACORN members 'government service' workers? Probably are, according to BHO. He has already taken over General Motors and Chrysler. He has taken over AIG, the largest US insurance company. He has, for most purposes, taken over control of energy and he wants complete control via cap-and-trade. He wants virtual control, through regulation, over the financial industry and healthcare. The unions, especially government unions, and the press are already at his beck and call. Unfortunately, we can only imagine the extent of infiltration of radical socialists into all levels of government agencies. The Republicans are not racists but they are intimidated by the race card. They need to trump it with the truth.

The Only Good Health Bill Is a Dead Health Bill

The major media continues to the report that some Democrats have problems with the Health Care Bill before the Senate and they are working hard to resolve their differences. I also heard media blurbs that the Republicans are "concerned about cuts to medicare," or "think the bill will be a job killer." The major media also keeps playing Democrat Senator Harry Ried's comment that he has not yet heard of a single statement from Republicans indicating that they are willing to help with the bill. (This is because Republicans want sick people to die, don't you know.) Actually, Republicans have had many health care proposals, some of which were even adopted in the current House and Senate bills. The current bill however is unacceptable for many reasons, mostly because it affords the government too much control. Since government control is the essence of Democrat's long-held aspirations for health care 'reform,' it is obviously impossible for conscientious Republicans to support it.

I have heard even Fox Radio report the story this way in their top of the hour news segments. The press should report that the health bill is a creation of the Democrat Party, embodying many aspects of government control and totally devoid of free market mechanisms. As such, they need not pretend that there are just a few differences that need to be ironed.
