December 15, 2009 I wrote two posts regarding the passage of the Socialized Medicine Bill (health care). Unfortunately, these fears are coming to pass. As written in The Stimulus Tragedy, this is all quite predictable and will continue as long as WE THE PEOPLE allow these career, entrenched politicians to remain in office. The Democrat controlled congress will pass a health care bill before November and will try to do it sooner, rather than later in hope that you, the voter, will forget about it before election day in November. What is even more disheartening is there are Republicans who will now vote for passage on the premise this bill is not "as bad" as the original. Unless WE THE PEOPLE hold these bought off, career, entrenched politicians feet to the fire, they will continue to buckle because they have no principles. Go back to The Stimulus Tragedy and reread about the importance of principles. Look at the increasing number of Republicans who voted for the new stimulus (jobs) bill today! These unprincipled, career, entrenched politicians are weakening, and fast. Sadly, many of these will vote ideology over the will of WE THE PEOPLE even if it costs them their jobs. Remember, these people believe they are much smarter than you. The President has called WE THE PEOPLE "the masses". Certainly a politician is smarter than "the masses". Right?
