No Isn't An Option!

Hey you’ll, I hope that you are doing well. Well the true political intentions of the Democratic Party along with those of President Obama have surfaced. It’s quite clear their willingness to use the 51 vote option to pass Obama Care. Isn’t it funny how opinions change when desperation sets in, and isn’t it sad to witness the use of political intimidation to force those in Congress to shove another undesired piece of legislation down the throat of every American?
President Obama in the past blasted Republicans for utilizing the so called nuclear option when Democrats refused to participate in the confirmation hearings of judges that President George W. Bush had nominated. These judges were qualified in every conceivable aspect, yet Democrats blocked these hearings for months. When Republicans used 51 votes to overcome this block Senators such as Barack Obama called this approach “arrogant and power grabbing.” Hmm, how time changes. Now that Obama Care has lost the support of the American people, the support of moderate to Conservative Democrats, and even some Liberal Democrats fearing back lash in November. This chain reaction has resulted in President Obama to ask his Party members to use the nuclear option. Wait, certainly the President wouldn’t want his Party to appear arrogant and power grabbing though?
The leaders of the Democratic Party have realized that every measure of intimidation must be enforced against those who oppose this overhaul. For instance, an investigation was initiated by the House Ethics Committee for “inappropriate comments” made by Rep. Eric Massa to a member of his staff. This all happened after Massa informed Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff, that he wouldn’t vote for Obama Care. Massa on a radio interview discussed the harsh relentless techniques used by the Obama administration so as to persuade him to change his vote. He described a series of encounters with Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff that took place inside of the shower area of the House gym. He also described a phone call in which Emanuel used foul language to reprimand Massa. A characteristic often attributed to Emanuel.
For a softer approach Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah voted against Obama Care the first time around, but by some miracle more like political bribery President Obama nominated his brother Scott as a federal judge. Rep. Matheson has now altered his emphatic no to a maybe. I thought President Obama had insisted that no more back room deals were going to take place in Washington.
When will Washington learn to do what’s best for Americans? When will they listen to those who put them in power? Every poll shows an overwhelming opposition to this bill. In fact, CNN reported a couple weeks ago that only 25% of Americans still favor the current bill. Why must a President impose its will on his constituents. He isn’t supposed to act like a dictator. He continues to emphasize that the political future of all politicians aren’t important as long as Obama Care gets passed. A true sign of total desperation.
It’s my firm belief that all American’s must stand up to any politician or politicians who decide to impose their will on all of us. We live in a Democracy not a radical extremist state. Anyone who can vote should make an effort to get involved in the political process now not in November. Letters need to be sent, calls need to be made, and emails need to be sent to the 535 members of Congress. They need to know that Americans aren’t sheep’s who will follow the commands of the political shepherds that will lead this country off of the precipice. It would be catastrophic to surrender the freedom to manage our own health to the tentacles of the federal government. The Constitution doesn’t allow for such a tyrannical empowerment of the federal government, and as a nation neither should we allow it to happen.
