The Sunday Showdown
On the Sunday shows: Key Dems say their votes aren't secured on health care yet, and they've got demands for Sen. Maj. Leader Harry Reid.
Meanwhile, Sen. Chuck Schumer thinks the public option will survive in some form, and Treas. Sec. Tim Geithner's future remains unclear.
The best moments and analysis from our colleague, and OnCall founder, Marc Ambinder.
One more observation: A wise GOPer emails Hotline OnCall noting Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's (R-TX) performance on Meet The Press today. Why, the GOPer asks, is she doing national TV discussing DC issues when she's engaged in a race for GOV in which the dominant narrative from opponent/Gov. Rick Perry (R) is the difference between TX and DC? Doesn't that make her more of the DC candidate, even if she's arguing against the Dem majority in the Senate?
(REID WILSON)
The GOP Congress has indeed become the best Congress money can buy!
Saturday night's Senate Vote Just to have a debate on Healthcare, was a small victory for the "agents of change" (democrats) and reflects very poorly on the state of the Party of No & Fear that they would not even allow a debate on this issue to move forward -- thereby belying the title of being the greatest deliberative body on earth!
It is noteworthy, that the Party of No & Fear, also fought against Social Security Reform and Medicare, and true to form or color, they are fighting against healthcare reform today! Yes, Social Security and Medicare are subject to abuse and fraud, but that is one of the reforms in this healthcare bill to address that problem! Millions depend on Social Security and Medicare and they are glad that it is there. They want it improved upon not done away with.
The naysayers have even tried to Sabotage the reform by introducing a phony abortion debate (we all know Nancy Pelosi will never allow abortions to be done away with) , and another women's' issue (how time appropriate) was introduced (I smell a rat) into the debate -- that of Mammograms and the fear that we are somehow on our way to healthcare rationing, when we all should know that we are already experiencing healtcare rationing every time someone is denied healthcare because of a Preconceived Condition or some other phony condition like they weigh too much, etc. The aforementioned debates are false and designed to produce fear, to immobilize and to paralyze the masses to do nothing. We must come to recognize that "Fear is the dark ones’ most powerful weapon against the light because the energy of fear not only forms a barrier between the consciousness and the soul, it refuels the darkness to keep it thriving." [Matthews Messages].
We must also recognize that "as money has in the past ministered to personal and family need, so in the future it must minister to group and world need. The time has now come when money must be re-valued and its usefulness channelled into new directions. The voice of the people must prevail, but it must be a people educated in the true values, in the significance of a right culture, and in the need for right human relations. It is therefore essentially a question of right education and correct training in world citizenship – a thing that has not yet been undertaken." [Money, The Medium of Loving Distribution, A Compilation from the books of Alice A Bailey ]
Thank God for the Agents of Change whose intentions and Duty are to uplift the conditions of the people and to serve the people...., not stall them or obstruct them, because in all reality healthcare reform is Crying Out for change. And, as Science teaches us to do nothing and to be static only leads to decay and death.
Cool story as for me. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this matter.
