Health Care Reform - Using A Move Like The Vote Of No Confidence In 'Star Wars'?
If you saw "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", then you are probably familiar with the "Vote Of No Confidence" that removed the Chancellor from his seat in the Senate. This parliamentary move freed up the seat for Senator Palpatine who would later become the Emporer of the Empire that would spread evil and destruction all across the galaxy. Sound familiar?
Nancy Pelosi and her cronies are now considering a parliamentary move much like that of the Vote of No Confidence in Star Wars which will clear the way for the House to pass the hugely unpopular Senate Health Care Reform bill without even having to vote on it in Congress. According to Lori Montgomery and Paul Kane of the Washington Post, the House Democratic leader says that she likes the move "because people don't have to vote on the Senate bill." Furthermore, in their article, "House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it," Montgomery and Kane state that Pelosi favors the parliamentary move known as the "deem and pass" maneuver since "it would politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure."
So, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic party, knowing full well that neither their own political party or the American people want this Health Care Reform bill to pass, are seriously contemplating using what boils down to a procedural loophole - just like the Vote of No Confidence - in order to pass their agenda into law. Doesn't this sound familiar to all you Star Wars fans?
Nobody wants the government to control their lives like the Obama/Pelosi health care bill is attempting to do. The lawmakers who are charged with handling such things don't even want to do it and are only considering doing it in such a way that they would be, seemingly, absolved of accountability. Shirking accountability? That's par for the course with the Democratic party. Just look at the Pro-Abortion platform they run on. But how long will the politicians in power be able to get away with spitting in the face of Americans and spitting on the Constitution and the ideals that America was founded on before the American people stand up and do something about it?
Can you see it YET America?? I understand the people that voted Obama into power, at least those who voted him in for his ideals and not for other possibly more shallow reasons, can't see their mistake because they don't think that it is a mistake but for the rest of us Americans who are not so blind and can see beyond our own delusions, when will we finally say enough is enough and get the job done right by throwing these jokers out on their ass?
Americans are currently unemployed at an alarming rate, and yet the people in Washington D.C. who have never had a real job a day in their lives, are taking advantage of this dire situation by feeding off the fact that Americans have more pressing needs to worry about than fighting the corrupt politicians in Washington. Without strong opposition, the leaders in Washington ram their socialist agenda down the throat of the American people and the American people won't or can't do a damn thing about it because instead they are fighting for their lives. Do the politicians care? Of course not! This is exactly how they wanted it. That way they could push their agenda, as they are now, and the American people would have to just shut up and take it up the ass. Now, you might say, "their are checks-and-balances in place to protect us from that." Yes, there are, or at least there should be but the parliamentary move that the House is currently considering using will side-step all of the checks-and-balances in place to protect us by using a procedural loophole that doesn't require the majority vote in the House as is required. Now, it does require a majority vote on the procedural move, which the Democrats would have to win, but the House would not be voting on the bill itself. Instead, the House would be voting on the procedural move and would essentially be considering the Senate bill that previously passed to be considered passed by Congress which they would "later fix." That idea in and of itself is so laughable that I am almost crying as I write this.
When has anyone known Congress to "fix" anything? Moreover, when has anyone known Congress to do ANYTHING in a timely manner? NEVER!!!
The system is broken and all you saps who bought up President Obama's lies during his campaign should now be realizing that you got duped. There was no change that came out this administration. It has been business as usual since Obama took office, and then some!!! Actually, I stand corrected. There was change after Obama took office. There was a change for the worse.
Now, following the change that Obama promised us all America get to look forward to:

Now, following the change that Obama promised us all America get to look forward to:
- No accountability on the part of big business since they will be allowed to do whatever they want, and, when they get in trouble, they will be deemed "too big to fail" and the government will take them over and American taxpayers will foot the bill
- No accountability by the leaders in Congress, the leaders in the Senate, or the leaders in the White House because those who hope to be elected will simply buy the White House and run it into the ground by side-stepping and re-writing the Constitution to fit their every whim using parliamentary moves leaving American taxpayers to foot the bill
- No sustainability since the nation will be in such a state of disarray and financial ruin, having to try and clean up the messes and overspending of their predecessors, that the U.S. government will be running to stand still while the American taxpayers foot the bill. ****NOTE: Democrats argue that George W. Bush spent us into the hole that America is now in, and Republicans and others might agree with that but how does that mean that the new President, President Barack Obama, must then double, triple, or even quadruple the spending of George W. Bush when he takes term in order to fix it? That doesn't make any sense. If anything, Obama should have cut spending to offset the spending of the previous President. Was George W. Bush's spending a preemptive strike?
