Harry Reid on healthcare reform: “There is no rush”
While reading this article about the chaos surrounding the Democrats in relation to the healthcare debacle, I saw a quote by Harry Reid that I found interesting.
Democrats appear to be putting healthcare reform on the back burner to focus on the economy and this is what Harry Reid had to say about healthcare: “We’re not on health care now.” As for the schedule to get it done, there is no rush.”
There is no rush. Really? When did that happen? For months the administration tried to convince us that healthcare reform is directly tied to the economy. We were told that there was a healthcare crisis and that without immediate action on healthcare the economy could collapse. But now suddenly there is no rush? I thought there was a healthcare “crisis.” Has it suddenly passed?
It should now be painfully obvious to all of those who believed the nonsense about healthcare reform truly being about the economy, that it was nothing more than a shell game. Democrats were ignoring the economy to push a far left healthcare bill when they should have focused on the economy, and in order to justify their misplaced priorities they tried to tie the two issues together.
Now that healthcare appears dead– or at least on life support– the Democrats want us to forget that they were ignoring the economy all this time.
Harry Reid’s statement has exposed the truth, by turning to the economy Democrats are admitting that they were ignoring it while attempting to pass healthcare– not trying to save the economy as they were claiming. After the stimulus bill was passed the Democrats took their eye off of the economy and turned to healthcare, now they realize it was a mistake.
The Democrats in congress may have finally gotten the message that we have been trying to send them all along– we do not want this bill. All it took was for them to lose their super majority. So now they will focus on an issue that Americans care about– the economy– and they will ignore the healthcare “crisis” that they manufactured in the first place.
Democrats are having trouble trying to keep their stories straight; that is what happens when you are not telling the truth.

It is quite amazing how a few hundred thousand vote in a deep blue state can change the lay of the land. Suddenly Obamacare is not urgent–baffling in view of what they have said in the past. These guys have no shame. Lying appears to be the only truth spoken in the halls of congress these days. An honest man–well you know the old saying, “as rare as hen’s teeth”.

Have no shame– that is the perfect way to explain them. They will do and say anything in order to hold on to their power.

I’m getting that sinking suspicion that we’re being sold a bill of goods here. Times like these, I remember back to the Clinton days, and how they’d intentionally float false information to keep people off balance, or get them to run something, only to find out it was false to begin with.
Maybe I’m being a bit paranoid, but what if there are some more dirty tricks and misleading info out there?

A little end around? Distract the people and them move in a different direction. I wouldn’t put anything past them, but we will be watching.

I do think, though that all the bull is in some ways is being exposed by different people. Between this, (Nan said herself, “this year”–how many more times can they put it off!) and the trial of KSM, people are hearing the other side, and speaking up. And let’s not forget– winning elections!
