Inasmuch as Obamacare has a snowballs chance in hell of passing (but did you see how much snow they got in hell last week?) everyone is wondering what President Obama is up to by calling Republicans to a televised Reykjavik summit this week to discuss socializing health care.
At least they served beer at the last White House summit this stupid and pointless.
If the president is serious about passing nationalized health care he ought to be meeting with the Democrats not the Republicans.
Republicans cant stop the Democrats from socializing health care: They are a tiny minority party in both the House and the Senate. (Note to America: You might want to keep this in mind next time you go to the polls.)
As the Democratic base has been hysterically pointing out both the House and the Senate have already passed national health care bills. Either body could vote for the others bill and -- presto! -- Obama would have a national health care bill replete with death panels abortion coverage and lots and lots of new government commissions!
Sadly as the presidents Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has noted the Democratic base is @#$ retarded.
The reason massive Democratic majorities in Congress arent enough to pass socialist health care is AMERICANS DONT WANT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!
In fact you might say that the nation is in a boiling cauldron of rage against it. Consequently a lot of Democrats are suddenly having second thoughts about vast new government commissions regulating every aspect of Americans medical care.
Obama isnt stupid -- hes not seriously trying to get a health care bill passed. The whole purpose of this public summit with the minority party is to muddy up the Republicans before the November elections. You know the elections Democrats are going to lose because of this whole health care thing.
Right now Americans are hopping mad swinging a stick and hoping to hit anyone who so much as thinks about nationalizing health care.
If they could Americans would cut the power to the Capitol throw everyone out and try to deport them. (Whereas I say: Anyone in Washington D.C. who can produce an original copy of a valid U.S. birth certificate should be allowed to stay.)
But the Democrats think its a good strategy to call the Republicans The Party of No. When it comes to Obamacare Americans dont want a party of No they want a party of Hell No! or as Rahm Emanuel might say *&$#@ No!
Its as if the patient has a minor fever and the Democrats (as doctor in this example) want to cut off his arms and legs. The Republicans want to give the patient two aspirin. Compromise means the Republicans agree to amputate only one arm and one leg.
Complaining that Republicans are obstructionists is not a damaging charge when most Americans are dying to obstruct the Democrats with a 2-by-4. While youre at it Democrats why not call the GOP the Party of Brave Patriots?
So Obamas sole objective at the summit is to hoodwink Republicans into agreeing with some of his wildly unpopular ideas on national TV. If this were a reality show on NBC it would be called Dateline: To Catch a R.I.N.O.
This shouldnt be hard inasmuch as he will be talking to elected Republicans. About a third of them were enthusiastically engaging in bipartisanship on Obamacare last year -- Chuck Grassley you know who you are! (Thats better than Lindsey Graham who still wants to compromise.)
And then the American people spoke up.
In town halls and tea parties across the nation Obama lost the argument with Americans. So now he wants a debating partner who will be less challenging: elected Republicans.
If Republicans were smart theyd shock the world by sending in one of their most appealing members of Congress who can speak clearly on health care -- Sen. Jon Kyl Rep. Steve King or Rep. Ron Paul.
Actually if the Republicans were really smart theyd send in 14-year-old Jonathan Krohn who understands the free market better than most people in Washington. Of course so does my houseplant.
There are other important points Republicans cannot raise often enough -- such as putting scuzzy medical malpractice lawyers like John Edwards out of business. OK that wasnt fair: Even trial lawyers are almost never as scuzzy as John Edwards. We want to put them all out of business.
But theres really only one idea the Republicans must cling to -- like theyre clinging to their guns and religion! -- in order to resist agreeing to something moronic and losing their advantage as Americans only allies in Washington.
Please Republicans remember the free market -- the same free market that gave us cheap cell phones computers flat-screen TVs and stylish affordable eyeglasses in about an hour.
Congress needs to outlaw state and federal mandates on insurance companies and allow interstate competition in health insurance.
The end.
Love the American People.
