Don't Be Brainwashed by the Press on Health Care

With a desperate combination of corruption and insanity, the Senate voted 60-40 at 1 AM on Monday, Dec. 21, to cut off all further debate on the "Manager's Amendment," i.e., the Harry Reid crap that was introduced over the weekend as the "final version" of the Nazi health-care bill. This cloture vote means that the Senate can now vote—set for 7 A.M. on Tuesday, Dec. 22—to approve Reid's amendment by simple majority. Then there will be another "cloture vote" (requiring 60 votes) ending debate on the final version of the bill itself, followed by a fourth vote to pass the bill.

This maneuvering means nothing.

Lyndon LaRouche said today that, after the defeat of the British oligarchs and their Obama at Copenhagen, these would-be legislators are "losers," and they are finished. "You have a change in dynamics, and the people who were on top, in terms of making legislation and so forth, are now on the bottom," said LaRouche. They are "flopping on the beach like fish left behind by the outgoing tide.... The tide has turned against Obama's health care and other legislation. And only the stubborn losers are going to stick to it.... Don't be brainwashed by the press and similar kinds of things, by the lobbyists running around the congress."

Reid thinks that he's clever, but his own re-election in 2010 is in doubt. From both the Republicans (in an RNC conference call today) and the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, there are threats that every Senator who sold his or her soul to vote up this Nazi health plan will be run out in the next election. Firedoglake.com calls every Democrat who voted for this, "an idiot," and warns, "If you don't fix this, we will watch/help you lose next November and again in 2012. Trust us."
