Standard Mischief

That would be me. I’d meant to have at least one more post out there by now, but…

So let me steal a quote from TD :

Contacting your elected representatives to ask them to vote a certain way on a bill is SO 20th-century. The new and cool thing is asking them to at least read a bill before voting on it.

He’s got a link up over there.

Meanwhile, over at leanleft.com, Kevin thinks ObamaCare is dead in the water. What killed it? Transparency in government. OK, okay, he doesn’t exactly say that of course. He says that because of the Kos kids, there’s a delay on the final vote, and that means that it will not be rushed through like the PATRIOT act, the new and improved Perpetual PATRIOT act. and both TARP bills. That means someone will actually be able to read the thing first, and know what they are voting on. Here’s the money quote:

First, it now appears that meaningful health reform is dead in the water. Harry Reid has delayed the passage of the bills, which gives opponents more time to the spread lies like “page 16 of the health care bill outlaws private insurance” and to use their money to browbeat or buy congresspeople.

I’m reading the comments too and I doubt I can stand to jump in the fray. Besides the fact that “meaningful health reform” can’t stand the light of day, there’s a bit about “social justice” and my favourite ObamaCare euphemism, “single payer system”.
