The Most Disgusting Health Care Deal Of All

I got a lump in my throat when I saw this article posted on Drudgereport.com. You can link to it here. It reveals the latest backroom deal offered by Pelosi and Company to bribe a few more congressmen into voting for, excuse me, not voting for but sort of kind of voting for health care reform.

I have friends who live in the Central Valley region, near Modesto, CA where water, the most basic necessity of life, is being denied to local farmers and citizens with the stated reason being the salvation of the lowly Delta Smelt. This tiny little fish, which may be endangered by a variety of causes, was championed by environmentalist wacko’s who coerced a willing EPA into shutting down the water supply. The irony is the move may not even save the smelt from possible extinction.

The argument was that the water coming out of the mountains and channeled by man made, state run aquifers for use in agriculture and drinking water, was destroying the habitat of the smelt and had to be stopped. A judge agreed and so tens of thousands of acres of once rich farm land now lies fallow and drying. Cities from San Jose to San Diego are developing rationing plans for citizens. Thousands of people, on the low end of the wage scale, have been put out of work and now have to live on government handouts to survive. Unemployment in some farming communities is 40%. Compare that to the Great Depression’s 25% rate. Prices for food are going up because of it. It is a disaster of epic proportions, but according to liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and others the salvation of the delta smelt was too important so joblessness, destruction of farm land, killing business and forcing skyrocketing prices is a price “we all have to pay” to save the smelt. In the meantime, all that precious water that was being pumped southward is now being diverted out to sea. Great idea, huh?

That is until health care came along. Apparently the need to pass health care reform far out-weighs the need to perpetuate existence of the delta-smelt. So much so that Pelosi is buying votes of a couple of California congressmen by offering to open up the flood gates and send the water back to the farms again. The deep, ironic hypocracy of this back room deal is that the people of this region have been desperately fighting to overcome this starvation by our federal government for 3 years, being told all the way that the delta-smelt is too important, when in truth, the facts show that the diversion of water is probably not the cause of the loss of delta smelt populations.

These people, these liberals, are so desperate to pass health care reform, they will say and do anything. Why? They know health care reform will swing open the door to socialized country they all wished they could live in.

VOTE THEM OUT!

  1. That deal SMELTS! Something fishy there, for sure.

  2. IT was fake

  3. nice to see that even in the face of unprecedented obstructionism by republicans, democrats were able to pass this historic piece of legislation.

  4. Ummm….they had a large majority. It is not really a miracle that it passed.

  5. Say no to socialism! No government-built dams! Why use my tax money to build canals so illegal Mexicans can grow some broccoli?
    We need to get rid of the environmentalists and health care people so we can be more like Mexico! They barely have any infrastruture!

  6. Other Side,
    Obstructionism by Republicans was never the issue preventing this bill from passing. In-fighting and not enough bribe money to go around among the Democrats was the only issue holding up this bill. They didn’t get any help from Republicans and didn’t need it. It only looked this ugly because the Dem’s got scared when the voters of Massachusett’s gave “Teddy Kennedy’s” seat to a Republican. The Democrats still didn’t listen.

    Scott,
    Stick around, your Democrat friends are trying their best to turn America into a third world nation.

  7. when did the republicans ever debate in good faith? they never did. obama comprimised on many issues to try and draw in republican support but didn’t get anything (tort reform, insurance exchanges, tax breaks). its true that democrats aren’t good at falling in line, but they shouldn’t need a 60 vote super majority to pass everything.

    with all the distortions (death panels, tea party cries of ‘socialism’) from republicans during the debate, how can anyone say that republicans were actually trying to do anything but sabatoge democrats?
