Not A Dime
Posted on January 21, 2010 by andrew- Filed Under DCCC, Democratic Party, health care | Leave a Comment
The DCCC just sent me a fundraising email. Meanwhile, health care is apparently dead. This is very simple: If the Democrats can’t pass substantial health care reform now, they don’t deserve a single penny in their campaign funds, they don’t deserve a single organizer working for them, and they don’t deserve a single vote for [...]
Promises, Promises

I couldn’t bring myself to vote for this particular incarnation of the national Republican Party under any circumstances. The good news is that I live in Washington. Would I vote for a local Republican as our mayor? Sure. This is such a one-party town that my protest vote can’t possibly amount to anything more than [...]
Goodbye To A Lion

The one thing I’ll remember about Senator Kennedy, above all else, is that he was always there.
That may not sound like much, but it truly means quite a lot. Kennedy was a constant in our national politics, from the time when my parents were kids until today. For just shy of fifty years he fought [...]

Wow, the White House has finally told us exactly what it wants in the final health care bill, and, oddly enough, it covers almost everything I expect most middle class Americans care about. If Obama had been publicly hammering these eight points as his goal for the past three or four months, Congress would be [...]
If I Had Any Senators…

I would be calling them up and saying some not-so-polite things tomorrow morning. This particular version of the legislation is, to put it mildly, utter bullshit. I’m absolutely furious.

And This Applies To Whom, Exactly?

Apparently, it’s a big deal that President Obama is walking back from his pledge that the health care reforms he signs into law will not force anyone to lose their existing coverage if they prefer that coverage to whatever might be created by the reforms. Now, I’m not going to say that the president should [...]
Tom Daschle Is The Harry Reid Of Slightly Older Losers
Posted on February 1, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Obama administration, Tom Daschle, health care | Leave a Comment
I never liked Tom Daschle. He was just as weak and anxious to capitulate in his day as Harry Reid is now. I am fully prepared to place all of the blame squarely on his shoulders if his tax issues that he failed to disclose to the president end up delaying- and possibly preventing- the [...]
