BS Article of the Day: Dems Will Lose in 2010 if Health Care Deform DOES NOT Pass
Some days, all I can do is shake my head at the stupidity of the Left. Obviously, the Left is so out of touch with reality that they don’t want to admit that it is their fault that the Commiecrats are going to get slaughtered in the 2010 election cycle—which I have affectionately dubbed, “The Bay of Libs.” America is fed up with the out of control Socialism in our country that is destroying our great nation.
How out of touch do you have to be to think that passing Health Care Deform will somehow stave off “The Bay of Libs” in 2010? The reality of the situation is that if the Commies in Washington D.C. vote against their constituents—who have been quite vocal in making their wishes known—and pass the Health Care Deform bill, their constituents will only grow in resolve to remove all the un-representatives from power.
However, if the Commies in Washington D.C. do not pass the Health Care Deform bill, a sizable chunk of Americans will fatuously think that the battle is over and go back to sleep. Which, of course, will minimize the damage to the Dems in 2010. Don’t get me wrong; the Commiecrats will still lose in 2010, but not to the extent that they would if the Health Care Deform bill passes.
Obama Ally: Dem Majority Is History If Health Reform Fails
August 20, 2009
ABC News‘ Teddy Davis reports:
A top Obama ally predicted Wednesday in an interview with ABC News that Democrats will lose their congressional majority in next year’s midterm elections if they fail to put a health-care reform bill on President Obama’s desk.
“I think we’re talking losing control of Congress,” said Andy Stern, the president of the Service Employees International Union. “[The failure of health-care reform] would totally empower Republicans to kill all change.”
“It’s hard to imagine the Democrats convincing the public that Republicans are to blame for health-care reform going down when the Democrats have such large majorities,” he added. “After last year’s promise of change, voters will start feeling buyer’s remorse.”
Stern, who was invited to sit with the Obama family during the president’s inaugural parade, is watched closely on health-care reform not only because of the labor muscle he wields as the head of the 2-million member SEIU but also because of the effort he has made to work with business groups: in 2007, he started “Divided We Fail,” a coalition which joined SEIU and AARP with the Business Roundtable and National Federation of Independent Business to promote the general principle of universal health care coverage.
Stern did not tie his 2010 prediction to the inclusion of a public option in the final bill. He did, however, warn that dropping a public option could “unravel” support for the more modest package of insurance reforms that President Obama began emphasizing last week.
[...]
While warning of grave consequences if the Democrats fail on health-care reform, Stern said that he is optimistic that Senate Democrats will find a way forward, possibly with the help of Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe (R).
[Did you hear that, Maine? When a mobster starts giving a politician the "thumbs up," it's time to remove said politician. Of course, I warned you all about Olympia Snowe a long time ago!]
To help Democrats get the votes that they need, Stern is prepared to use SEIU resources to pressure recalcitrant Democrats in Congress if progress is not made by Sept. 15, the deadline which Senate Finance Committee negotiators have set for themselves.
[What's he going to do? Beat the crap out them like he did the innocent Americans at the Tea Parties?]
For now, however, he is holding his fire against fellow Democrats since the president has signaled through his staff that he does not want Democrats shooting at one another.
“We call it: ‘helping the president be successful,’” said Stern with a smile. “I think Democrats find a way forward in the Senate when they stop believing that they’re going to get [Iowa Sen. Chuck] Grassley and [Wyoming Sen. Mike] Enzi.”

At what price, service? Are the services that they provide so important that we would sacrifice our rights? It appears that the servers are trying to become our masters. Reject them. Support a free America, look for the union label, and then put it back and move on to something else.
It really comes as no surprise that government workers are part of the seiu, no surprise at all.
A government of the government by the government and for the government. I don’t think that was the way it was intended.

“…Stern is prepared to use SEIU resources to pressure recalcitrant Democrats in Congress…”
I am heartily offended at the presumption of that statement. The unions have no business injecting themselves into politics. They are to represent the workers to the employers. The people of this nation elect the officials that represent us, not the unions. If our congress weren’t so far in the tank for the lobby that pays them the most, we might have a chance of authentic representation.

At this point, I’m hoping the Dems shove healthcare through and the GOP follows through on its promise to shut Congress down indefinitely. Most of the healthcare bill implementation is delayed, so it can be repealed after the Ballot Box Massacre of 2010. Plus, if Congress is shut down, they can’t do anything else, like cap-n-tax or amnesty, which WOULD be irreversible.
The GOP needs to come up with, and start publiciaing, an alternative plan, however. It isn’t enough to just oppose their monstrosity; the GOP needs to offer a better way.

Does that mean they’ll send SEIU goons around to beat up congresscritters that oppose the dark overlord’s medical industry takeover plan?
I’m so torn…
