Markos, Stern And Obama
Update: Michelle Malkin has a report on the SEIU in Massachusetts up.
In solidarity? Coming from Stern, that's a hackneyed phrase. Along with his wanting to take up the health care reform fight, what's also worth noting right now is that Stern gave Markos and Armstrong, and in essence the Nutroots, their start, leading them into the promised land where politics and big money mix it up to gain influence for both.
Our challenge to you, to the President, to the Senate and to the House of Representatives is to fight. Now, more than ever, all of us must stand up, remember what health insurance reform is all about, and fight like hell to deliver real and meaningful reform to the American people.
In Solidarity,
Andy Stern
Today, the Democrats are reaping what Stern, the Phoenix Group, Kos, and others sowed, as they were always out of step with the majority of the country. These are precisely the fights, the changes, they wanted when taking over the DNC. They've been plotting it for years. They're there. And if they fail, the Democrats, the Netroots and all the associated characters will find themselves in disarray.
It took the Republicans a decade or more to get there. The Democrat Party as currently aligned is on the brink. It has to fight, it has no other choice. The consequences of defeat will be huge for the far Left. And I doubt Obama is going to be willing to go down for, or with them. Grab your popcorn and watch that fracture play out. It might be fun!
Just don't kid yourself that we've already won.
Won?
It’s all downhill from here …. straight to hell.
But if my some great luck/alignment of the stars …. Buraq the Magic Pony is finally shown the door. Before Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
Then I will dance a jig, in the streets (sing it Martha). While swilling Cali sparklin vino.
(Yeah, I know Santa’s busy this time of year …).
What is amazing to me is that a week ago Kos and all the rest of the ‘progressives’ were 100% on board with a mandate forcing people to buy health insurance, but suddenly, now that the little brats didn’t get their public option, mandates are terrible, unconstitutional, ridiculous.
The scary thing is that they appear to REALLY believe that the change of position is not hypocritical at all, but is wholly consistent with their values and beliefs, which goes to show you how far down the road of denial and brainwashing the liberals have gone…that they can do a 180 about face in the span of a few days and not only fail to recognize it but earnestly claim and believe that there is no inconsistency at all.
Dan’s readers won’t like this comparison, but its kind of like reading the ever changing rationals and rationalizations for the Iraq War from conservatives which changed from week to week and month to month.
Moral to the story: Idealogy Bad/Facts Good
So when is Andy scheduled to appear to answer for his unlawful lobbying activities?
Yeah, I know – I was being snarky.
When you put Rats in a bag they will always turn on each other.
first it was universal healthcare, for the 47 million uninsured.
then it was 32 million for the uninsured, sans, illegals.
this latest attempt, expanding medicare to 55, was the ‘hail mary’ of health care, as the clock winds down.
one point of this healthcare bill is very clear:
this was NEVER about americans in general-it was all about saving union healthcare plans.
their trust funds, from which they funded their exorbitant existing healthcare plans, is going to go broke, soon.
the whole healthcare scheme was about providing an out for unions, so that they themselves wouldn’t have to make any effort to save their own failure of a system. andy stern? turns his finanical responsiblity over to the govt and pocket the funds.
unless the dems finally produce and pass a bill that provides a path for unions to keep from going belly up, we get to watch unions flop within the next 3-5 years. stern and dean know this, but kos is just along for the ride. the beauty of the apocalypse of the unions is that when they do go bankrupt, their books will be opened to the public.
it will read like enron or madoff-except in the pages on the nyt and wapo-where it will be as if it never occurred.
Just when I thought this might come to an end, leaving Republicans with nothing so big to tar Democrats with, along comes Andy Stern to the rescue.
Yes, please fight on ..
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in DC,
we shall fight on the floor and backbenches,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength of our smell in the air, we shall defend our dream, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the cable news channels (except FoxNews),
we shall fight on the broadcast networks,
we shall fight in the committees and in the subcommittees,
we shall fight in the caucus;
we shall never surrender
The irony is so rich it drips. To think that it will be the progressives ensuring that DeMint’s Waterloo statement comes true is priceless. On top of the fact that Lieberman threw a whole tub of Brokeback Mtn. love all over the progressives and got his way (it must burn them up that it was a Jewish former Dem that did it, especially if you sat in Obama’s church for 20 years). And the cherry on top is Nelson looking at the data in his state and saying oh hell no am I voting for this crap b/c of the abortion stuff, I plan on getting reelected in 2012 (imagine the gnashing of teeth to all the progressive liberals who takes pride in the aborted fetus body count like conservatives do AQ’s after 8 years of war). Watching this unfold is better than going to see Avatar.
If this does fail, how long before the progressives resort to full scale violence? Any bets?
These traitors are mentally disturbed. They’re so close to their progressive utopia that they’ll resort to violence if need be to make it happen.
Knuckle up boys next year is going to get nasty.
This is the reason why I get concerned when I hear Republican suggesting we pander to certain groups, like the Dems have done just to return to power. When you build coalitions simply to win or crush your opponent. You can sometimes end up with a group of people with conflicting interests
I have an acquaintance who doesn’t keep up with news at all. He watched Obama’s interview on 60 Minutes for lack of anything better to do. Afterward he said, “I believe him. I think they will be making a movie of him soon.” It’s so frustrating because people who aren’t paying attention have no reason to believe the President of the United States would lie to the American people.
