No Prisoners! Why Any Health-Care Compromise Is Dangerous!

By: Ausonius (Diary)  |  August 17th, 2009 at 09:32 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

As of 9:00 this morning (Aug. 17th) Drudgereport is carrying a news item saying the White House is willing to eliminate the “public option” and enrage the Howard-Dean Left to pass some kind of health care reform.

Beware!

Number One: Why would we want to give NObama any kind of appearance of a legislative victory? Why would we want him to seem like a 21st-century Great Compromiser, bringing reasonable people together to effect a grand reform?

Number Two: Why would we trust anything about this proposal? This president’s pathological lying is on record, attested to by videotapes showing him lying or at least not telling the whole truth about his proposals. So why would we think that there would be no Trojan Horses in any “compromise” bill?

People have already found one large Trojan Horse for health care in the Porkulus Bill: I wrote about this on Saturday:

The Dems, especially in this administration, have no trouble being duplicitous, and therefore no compromise can be trusted!

    Have they forgotten “Rope-a-Dope?

    Are they that clueless?

    Or do they just want to be loved?

      Yes, I am afraid that in some cases they want no conflict with the national media: they want Cokie Roberts and Bob Schieffer etc. to like them and say reasonable things about them. Or worse, they are still actually afraid of the MSM and think that a negative press from the MSM means anything any more.

      The worst ones are those who will automatically throw out leftist blurbs about Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter while they are being interviewed.

      One of Ronald Reagan’s greatest strengths is that he did not care what the Washington Post or the New York Times said about him!

      And that drove them nuts! But it drove Reagan into History as one of our best presidents!
