I think you can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up quicker............
And following is the perfect example.
.........you best be concerned with how your party is going to hold power in November, because it is looking like it may be a bloodbath come November.
Once the Republicans take back over, let me assure you.....
Dixie, Dixie, Dixie. Let me reiterate what Bittermark wrote, "As I've said before, as long as UHC passes, I don't care if the Republicans gain 100 goddamn seats. This is now the road America has gone down, and there's nothing you can do to stop it."
It's all over but the crying, Dixie. At least for the Republicans. As commentators have noted the vote on the health care bill is bigger than an election vote. It has greater impact.
Regardless of whom is in power they will be obliged to govern within the health care framework the Democrats have set. There will be no more "We don't have the money. We have to study 'this'. Blah, blah, blah."
They will have to find the money and that is good. Very good. The Repubs deliberately, by cutting taxes, wanted the government to be in a position where it couldn't help the people because Repubs don't believe in the government helping. The Repubs wanted the government to be in debt so as to prevent any future programs from being implemented.
Their plan was simple. No money. If there's no money, there's no money. Can't argue with that. However, Obama and the Dems knew that was the plan but they went ahead with the health care anyway. Now succeeding governments have to find the money. Raise taxes. Cut a few things. They will have to do what they have to do to stay within the framework of the health plan. The Republican strategy didn't work. They tried to put the government in a position where it couldn't help because they don't want the government to help but as Obama said it's time for change. The time is now.
This is the road America is going down. The road every other country with universal medical has constructed. The same road the citizens in those countries have traveled and it is posted with "NO 'U' TURN" signs all along the route.
It's a one way highway, Dixie. No "U" turns. No exits. Depending on the elected government one may stop for a while but the next government will continue the trip.
Think of it like this. Remember going on vacation with your family when you were a young'en? On the way maybe you whined and cried because you didn't want to go or deliberately soiled your pants so as your parents had to stop the car before everyone was asphyxiated. After a clean-up you continued on the way.
That's the same principal. We're all going to the same destination regardless of how often the Repubs soil their pants.

I think you can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up quicker. You are beyond delusional if you think this (or any) Congress is going to launch some sort of investigation in what Cheney did or didn't do as VP in 2006. It has as much chance of happening as an indictment against Bill Clinton, which also "could" happen, in a delusional person's world.
Listen pinhead, I know you are feeling all cocky and arrogant today, on the heels of what you perceive to be a big win for your party, but trust me... you are in more trouble than you know. Rather than wishfully thinking about what you'd like to see happen to Dick Cheney, you best be concerned with how your party is going to hold power in November, because it is looking like it may be a bloodbath come November.
Once the Republicans take back over, let me assure you, the LAST person they will be interested in investigating is Dick Cheney... although, they might be interested in launching an investigation into the shady Chicago-thug-style politics of this administration. Like... why did the president of the SEIU, Andy Stern, meet with Obama 22 times between inauguration day and July 31... what could possibly be so important that one man occupies that much of the president's time? I think the American people need to know what was discussed, what was the purpose of these meetings, and what kind of under-the-table dealings went on, in the lead up to socialized health care. Yeah, I think those 22 meetings trump Cheney's ONE meeting, and I think when Republicans take back power in November, we will have to investigate that, along with other things... Vann Jones... connections to ACORN... stuff like that. But NOT Dick Cheney, sorry!
