Pick Your Health Care Plan (It Just Better Be Ours!)

Yay.  We have Health Care Reform now.  "Reform" being the new, hip keyword during the upcoming week of polling before the Senate passes their version and hashes out exactly what the Democrats want Government (not Universal) Health Care to look like. 



Before I interject some more, here are some videos of this historical and disastrous vote by the United States House of Representatives:





This is the House Bill passing, and now I present to you what so many liberals tried to use as a euphemism against former President Bush, but is more appropriate here:





Ryan Grim of HuffPo has a fantastic (sarcasm intended) article of the elation and emotion produced by this vote. 

Couple things:

The White House, two sources told HuffPost, had been working hard to win the vote of Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.), a freshman in a strongly Democratic district. The pro-life Cao's vote came into play when an amendment from Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) passed overwhelmingly, greatly restricting reproductive rights.
After several minutes, Cao cast a yes vote from his seat, making the bill bipartisan.


Awesome; one Freshman Congressman's vote is what makes this bill "bi-partisan?"  Are you fricking kidding me?  This seems to me like a future lead-in for Huff and other "journalists" to claim President Obama succeeded by creating a "bi-partisan" bill.  I say Nuts.  

The normally stoic Pelosi had tears streaming down her cheek.

I doubt it unless the Botox wore off...

Not even the extreme pro-life amendment could dampen enthusiasm. "We'll live to fight that battle," said Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), a passionate supporter of reproductive freedom.

The "amendment" being referred to is the Stupak (D-MI) Amendment that does not allow abortions to be Federally funded.  However, it is widely believed that this will be negated in the final House-Senate Bill sent to the President.  Thus, Rep. Slaughter's above comments. 

Also, how is it "extreme" when the government should be denied the ability to pay for terminating pregnancies?  If you notice, Mr. Grim has turned the "Pro-Choice" mantra into "reproductive freedom."  I guess that is the hip spin for not being accountable for your own actions. 

What a glorious day we had!
