Why do I get stuck with calling out Washington Tom foolery? Where are the Fox News and NewsMax interrogators? Such is my life. Senator Kennedy, you are hiding again. Instead of telling us the dirty laundry of the Senate, you deflect, more than likely to sell a book or protect the deep state.
Senator, you
rightly tell us that the Republicans in the Senate can pass a healthcare fix by
reconciliation, requiring only a simple majority vote. An enquiring mind would
ask you a second question. Senator Kennedy, if this fix is so easy, why hasn’t
the Senate Republicans already passed a healthcare fix?
There’s the
rub. There are not 51 Senate Republicans who will vote for a healthcare fix,
any fix, regardless of the pain inflicted on the people. Is this not dirty laundry? Apparently, some Republican Senators
have gotten or have always been as crazy as the Democrats. Could it be simply
Trump hate? If so, these few Republican Senators are as blind as a bat.
Every healthcare
fix will be messy. No matter what alternatives are chosen or not chosen, there
will be fallout, some voters will be angry. The question is, who is going to fall on their
swords to get it done anyway. The traditional Senate dirty laundry is backroom
deals and kicking the can further down the road. This time, another payday to the fat insurance
companies will be the end of America. Are there no brave souls in Washington?
The brave
take a stand and then make an argument to the people back home. The principle
or the cause is worth a good fight and it is bigger than any political career. The
brave live out every day, God, family and country.
Even when it
hurts.
