The 'Hand Out Bill' Passes

Well, it's over.

Are we now living in the "Socialist States of America"? It seems so today.

I can almost hear FDR: "Yesterday, October 3rd, 2008 —a date which will live in infamy— the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by corrupt and power hungry forces of the Empire of Pelosi (and Frank, and Dodd, and Bush, and etc. etc. etc.)."

I thought foolishly that when that abomination of desolation was defeated Monday, it might have died there. But no, like Frankenstein, Jason Voorhees or even Mr. Spock, it inexplicably came back to life. Why? Why did so many 'fiscally conservative' D's and R's change their vote?

Even more, I could not understand why Bush would support such a horrible, freedom crushing, rights squashing, money thieving, power grabbing atrocity as this oh-so-misnamed legislative turd, the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008."

I started thinking about this hard. No dice, it still was as stupid looking as a Honda Element. Then I started thinking like a politician - dishonestly, cynically, selfishly and very, very shortsidedly.

Boom. I figured it out.

You see, John McCain and the Yellow Stripes (formerly known as the Republican Party) were terrified that the economic 'depression' hoax was going to squat on the front pages for weeks and weeks, thus throwing the election to His Holy Highness, the Marxist Prophet Obama and the Politburo (formerly known as the Democrat Party). Thus, they made the tactical decision to accept a Socialist Bill in order to defeat a Socialist candidate.

Well, if you believe that continuing to fight on conservative principles would have extended the bill's discussion long enough to hand the election over to His Highness Barak, then your reasoning may be logical.

However, there are two problems with that logic:

1. It proceeds from a cowardly point of view, presuming you are going to lose anyway: it means you are not playing to win, you are playing to NOT lose. That is always a disaster waiting to happen.

2. Every national poll showed at least 75%-85% of the American people were against that damned bill: can ANYONE intelligently argue that the handful of clowns that passed this thing know MORE about economics than 75% of 300 million Americans that opposed it? Please...

So, McCain and the Yellow Stripes think that despite all of us hating the bill with a clear understanding of what it is and by a vast margin, he promoted it and then voted for it hoping that would evaporate the appearance of any opposition to the bill in Washington so it looked like it was the 'only' thing to do. "See! We are all in agreement, now! So, we must be right!"

A clever political trick designed to avoid taking a stand.

In simpler terms, he and his cronies basically said "Since we have the numerical majority needed to pass this bill, we have to. Obviously, a majority number of votes means we are right." So just because a majority of idiots in an overall body of idiots are in favor of something means they must be right over a roaring tide of protests by a massive body of Americans smart enough to know that 'something' is damn wrong.

What? Huh?
Dude, I think someone just stole our republic.

Anyway, Dick Morris had a great piece on his website last week in which he stated McCain could have become the movement leader against this damned bill and surfed to the top of a popular tide against it, batted it back in the Politburo's face, fought to bring up a clean bill that offered insurance, tax relief, whatever it took so the free market could rescue Wall Street, NOT Socialize Wall Street, and saved us from govt. usurpation of our economy.

McCain then could have then claimed victory, underscored his true maverick status, boasted that he fought to save the free market, that he defeated a 9% favorably rated Congress in their attempt at Grand Theft Economy, AND finally, he would have seen his poll numbers shoot up like Oprah's eyebrows upon seeing a free chicken and dumplings buffet table.

But, no. He folded up like a cheap Ikea press wood chair and bleated out his "Yea" just like the rest of the thieving creeps on Capitol Hill. As Dick Morris said in closing his article, "It is admirable to see a candidate of principle and conviction lose an election by standing on his beliefs. It is sickening to see one lose by abandoning them."

Oww.

Morris let this anger at McCain peep out in an interview on Fox News after the first McCain-Obama debate. He accused McCain of bumbling the entire first week of the bill's discussion, having stopped his campaign, then stuttering around Washington hesitantly supporting the bill, then not supporting it, then supporting it again but weakly. In fact, ol' Dick seemed to be cooking on a full steam boil about McCain's timid and tepid response to the bail out and the economy in general during the debate.

When Hannity asked Dick who won, Morris went on a pointed lecture about how McCain threw away the largest tactical advantage of the entire electoral season, how he got clobbered on the economy in the first part of the debate ("Uh, earmarks! Yeah, earmarks! They're bad!") and finally how the Yellow Stripes had totally nominated the wrong guy.

Go, Dick go!

Morris' wrong guy' comments referred to Rudy Giuliani, who not only shredded Alan Colmes in his interview after the debate but also summed up all of McCain's points in a fraction of the time, a tenth of the words and with thrice the passion. (Gad I wish Giuliani was our man.....whimper.....)

Can we do a recall election on a nominee?

OK, one last point here. Can anyone explain to me why oh why oh why, inexplicably, McCain refuses to point out how deep the Politburo and Obama are in this D.C. created mega scandal!?

Hello!?
McCain campaign!?
Anyone home!?
Does Franklin Reins ring a bell!?
You know, Obama's Financial Advisor!?
HELLO!!??
McCain keeps bringing a pillow to a knife fight!
Okay, deep breath, deep breath...hoo haa...hoo haa...hoo haa...ok, that's better...

Now, let me get this straight.

We made the trade off of accepting a Socialist economic takeover of Wall Street over presumably electing a Socialist Idiot Boy Snob as our new Dear Leader at the behest and promotion of a candidate who can endure excruciating torture at the hands of Vietnamese sadists, but won't even call Obama out on his close associations with the thugs that caused the damned problem in the first place. And he did this so he can save his campaign, no matter what the bill does to the Constitution.

And his convention slogans were 'Country First' and 'I'll Fight For You'?

And this is a 'conservative'!?
