Or with a bullet in the head:
WTF?? If the Progressive Movement hasn’t yet died of shame, someone should put a bullet in its head.
I couldn’t agree more.
Now I will not hide anything from you, I do not agree with PUMA’s 100% of the time. They want full on “Single-Payer” (Medicare and Medicaid for everyone, but they hate ObamaCare) and full troop withdrawal from Af-Pak-Iraq. I don’t think anyone here on RedState would become card carrying PUMA members anytime soon.
However they are clearly disillusion with their people in Congress. Even Stateofdisbelief via The Confluence thinks the Medicare compromise is a con:
[T]he Medicare compromised being described sounds more like a bait and switch con. From all reports, which are sketchy at this point since we haven’t been told the secret handshake and password, the program will be limited to a minute number of uninsured individuals over 55 and set to expire in 2014. And who knows when it would become effective or what it would cost the individual? You didn’t hear them say it would be at the same contribution rates for premium cost sharing as paid by those over 65 did you? Then why the hell should we make that assumption? Dean’s claim that “people over 55 can buy into [the medicare "compromise"].” is misleading at best, and dishonest in it’s form.
…
I don’t know about you but all of this is beginning to feel like mental waterboarding.
Ouch. They basicly don’t believe this is a good idea or even if this will even be the brought to the floor. You should read the whole thing.
If I was Obama, I would be dreading the upcoming elections. I foresee nothing for the Democrats but a huge pounding in 2010. The TEA Party movement is energizing a move of this country to fiscal sanity and those running for more taxes and speading will only get swept away.

Great Christmas gift for your liberal friends

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Rossiter. “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”
“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity - as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population - as liberals do.
And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which overregulates and overtaxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state - as liberals do.”
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
“The roots of liberalism - and its associated madness - can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says.
“When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”
“When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
Thomas Jefferson
