RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION and FARTING
When I listen to our politicians spieling about the cost and their concerns for the lives of our citizens, I envision a large mass of methane surrounding Washington and hopefully no one lights a match. Frankly they bring more excitement to the bowels rather than the brain.
I used to think the ignition of flatulence gas was strictly a college prank and the few idiots who tried it, failed, visited the ER and found out the importance of Nupercainal ointment for the rest of their lives. Obviously Congress is not that smart.
You would think they enlisted the help of Mr. Methane, a noted flatulist from Britain, where else, who actually plays tunes and blows darts through his southern end of the alimentary canal. Mr. Methane has also showcased his Performance Farting on many TV and Radio Shows during his long and illustrious career. Howard Stern called him, "A true Genius. A huge star!"
Mr. Methane recently appeared on Britain's Got Talent where Simon Cowell called him disgusting. Disgusting is the same word you can use to describe some of our political leaders. Selfish, corrupt, greedy individuals who think about nothing but themselves and lie through their teeth every time they open their mouth.
You got to love them when they act out all this passion about caring about health care reform. What have they been doing for the past thirty years? Thinking about it? Suddenly under the camera, they are all experts; magnificent speeches about distressed folks in their district, examples of fraud and corruption and they fail to mention small things like the money they get, the lobbyist bribe money for their re-election, while you get potatoes and onions if you ae lucky and get food stamps. Mr. Methane has competition, lots of it right here in Washington.
FRAUD, CORRUPTION, BRIBERY
Only when their needs are challenged do they bellow in righteous indignation. That’s your money for health care, over 300 million dollars spent by the Heath Care Industry to fight reform spent in the last year alone. Attention cave dwellers, if you believe that 300 million was spent to help you, get a new brain for free at vvv.neanderthal.org. They want to stop any plan that kills their profits. This is all about money, money and money and not about you.
It’s simple Health care rates are on the rise, preventive education going to pot and for many health care will be unaffordable. Meanwhile, the health industry shows record profits, and when you can afford 300 million dollars to stop reform, you got good reasons. Again it’s called incredible profits and compensation.
C-SPAN THANK GOODNESS:
Have you ever watched the stale and un-passionate scenes being played out by the actors on C-span when the Senate and Congress are in session. There are people in those seats but I suspect some are brain dead and already have made up their mind before the vote based on party lines, heavily supported by the lobbyists who simply put, BRIBE them.
The camera once in a while catches them nodding off under those hot camera lights. Of course it's kept really cold in the Congress and Senate halls because they wear suits and have to look the part. So, if one did pass on, who would know? When they accomplish nothing, who really cares if who voted for it. I think some votes came about because one of the other politicians walked by, grabbed the guys arm and raised it. As long as your hair looked good you were OK. Thats why the highest paid barbers are in DC. Former Senator, Philandering Scumbag and Presidential hopeful John Edwards and his multi hundred dollar cuts set the trend.
PORK WILL NEVER BE KOSHER
Our master-debaters are working overtime to create the largest Pork Sandwich Bill in the world. Not a word out of any of them for the public, that’s you and me. Only when it affects their personal bottom line do they react. All the money given to them by the insurance companies should bring tears to your eyes. And legally should be considered a bribe.
Just look to see who headed the committee on health care and wrote the initial draft of the Health Care Bill. It was Sen. Baucus, the initiator of the bill. His chosen job, by his peers, write the proposal to reform the Health Care system in the US. By the way, Senator where have you been the past thirty years?
The good Senator and financially close friend to the Insurance Industry, Baucus has been criticized for his ties to the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, (in criminal cases these are called "Bribes) and has been one of the largest beneficiaries in the Senate of campaign contributions from these industries.
From 2003 to 2008, Baucus received $3,973,485 from the health sector, including $852,813 from pharmaceutical companies, $851,141 from health professionals, $784,185 from the insurance industry and $465,750 from HMOs/health services, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
A 2006 study by PUBLIC CITIZEN found that between 1999 and 2005 Baucus, along with former Senate majority leader Bill Frist took in the most special-interest money of any one in the Senate.
While we were being screwed, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus’ office confirmed late Friday night that the Montana Democrat was carrying on a little screwing of his own. An affair with his state office director, Ms. Melodee Hanes, when he nominated her to be U.S. attorney in Montana. Right last name, he got in her Hanes....
Only three Senators have more former staffers working as lobbyists on "K" Street. The Washington address known as the "Block of Blockers", filled with offices of the lobbyists. Baucus had 24.
That’s like asking the FOX to do the Chicken inventory. Worse it's putting the FOX in charge of the Chicken Industry. Same result, FOX eats, gets rich, has good life, and Chickens die. I ask myself how do we pick and select 535 people to govern and rule our country and we have such a high rate of corruption in one place.
Because that’s how it’s played. Has Washington become a game? Yes, undoubtably I'm working on it... finding more things they don't tell us...
THE SUPREMES COURT
I actually thought highly of the Supreme court and the fairness of the individuals selected for it. That changed two days ago. The two conservatives who were brought on board by GWB voted for and turned the 5-4 decision to amend the nation's federal campaign finance laws, free-speech rights permit groups like corporations and labor unions to directly spend on political campaigns, prompting the White House to pledge "forceful" action to undercut the decision.
President Obama said the high court had "given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics." He called it a "major victory" for Wall Street, health insurance companies and other interests which would diminish the influence of Americans who give small donations. Obama pledged to "work immediately" with Congress to develop a "forceful response."
Now special interest groups, aka corporations can contribute anything they want to the political coffers of the party or person they choose. Corporations have the same rights now as people, persons, you, me, they, them, and those.
So if General Electric who paid no income tax last year and a few years before that, decides to give members of Congress millions of dollars to keep legislation, taxation and regulation away from General Electric. It's OK.
Sen. Feingold issued a statement that notes the decision does not overturn the ban on soft money donations to political parties, which can then distribute cash to candidates.
"But this decision was a terrible mistake," he said. "This court has just upended that prohibition, and a century's worth of campaign finance law designed to stem corruption in government. The American people will pay dearly for this decision when, more than ever, their voices are drowned out by corporate spending in our federal elections.
"In a stinging dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the ruling “threatens to undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the nation. The path it has taken to reach its outcome will, I fear, do damage to this institution.”
President Obama led a chorus of Democrats and public interest groups attacking the decision, saying in a statement that the court “has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics,” and vowing that he will work with congressional leaders “to develop a forceful response.”
“It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans,” the President said. “This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington—while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates."
Many will simply ask, “What are they smoking and where can we buy some? Are the Judges out of tune with today? Could they be going feeble? In the halls of corruption, bribes and payoffs, (CONGRESS) they got to be dancing and holding week long toga parties.
Individual votes and contributions when uncontrolled corporate media money can buy all the TV time and who is giving this money to them, the taxpayers, the folks paying insurance and many struggling to survive.
If the President of Pharma Care decides he wants to contribute 100 million dollars to killing health care, do you really believe the millions under his judgment who are the source of the money have a say in this. Or the other board members would take sides against it. Corporations are not and should not be granted the right of the individual.
And unions can take union money in support of those who would cover for them, forgetting it just might be money they might need one day if they go out.
The game is called simply “CORRUPTION”. Soon the People will of had enough.
The problem is how do we separate the corrupt from the good. Next....
