So much for blogging with a vengeance again. That lasted about a week, but now my Internet is restored and the Christmas crazy season is over so maybe I can get back at it.
I am looking forward the the Massachusetts vote on Tuesday. This is going to be an important and telling vote on Obamacare. I am, of course, hoping for a Republican win that will force the Democrats into serious underhandedness to pass the health care program no one who understands it wants. Passing the bill in the Senate using a proceedural manuever intended to prevent budget impasses will further enrage an already livid public. No Democrat facing reelection in November should be reelected. They simply do not deserve it for the harm they are inflicting on this country and on future generations of Americans.
A central ideal of the founding fathers was "no taxation without representation," but this congress and president are inflicting taxation on future generation in which they have no say. It is wrong, and it must be stopped. The Massachuesetts senatitorial election of Teddy Kennedy's seat is the next chance we have to stop it. If that fails, then in November we will have to elect a new congress that will begin the work of undoing the damage of this health care bill now being concocted.
The fact that Obama has felt the need to go to Massachusetts this weekend says they are feeling desperate, as well they should be. Let's hope he is as sucessful as he was in New Jersey and Virginia last year.
