mid-week politics dot com make sure you're getting the mid week politics
newsletter
if you're not u
la you're missing out all tell you i don't know why blood i'm told
if you're not getting that
there certainly something you're missing out on mid-week politics dot com
the health care bill
has as most of our audience i'm sure has heard past
it's an okay bill not particularly liberal as we discussed sab
last week the bill share
from the campaign for america's future and of course the liberal oasis radio
show
it does some good things it does cover
quite a few i mean we're talking thirty million new people or will cover them
once all aspect of it are enacted
the question now that's coming up for democrats lewis's
do they do more now that they've passed us and they have momentum
or do they do less some democrats are saying it's time to lay low
and not try to pass anything else to significant because the magnitude of the
health care bill did just past makes it seem like now they're just pushing tons
of stuff over on the republicans
i don't agree with that
well as momentum even a factor is there such a thing as momentum
i think there is not in a really accomplish i mean you just are making a
push for single-payer system net not not as far as health care just other
initiatives that financial reform ab
on wars on other policy that i can't think of a worse idea
to be honest in laying low now now is the time to do more they worry if they
want to have any chance of maintaining their majority
well in the senate that's a whole other worms that that although off to
accomplish more about the possibility maybe god
that you're right i think it is but
the hippocratic risky i think that there is no man's and there is this political
they've gained political capital
bypassing
what sadly is a pretty neat mediocre bill that does do good things i know a
lot of time some of the
the tried-and-true democrats when they hear me say that the bill isn't is a
great they say i don't i don't approve of the bill i'd rather the bill not of
past what i'm saying is given the hundreds and thousands of maybe even
tens of thousands of man hours
person powers to be politically correct
that went into passing this bill
it would have been great to really put something out there that was more
liberal i mean afterall it was only the democrats who were involved in the
passing this bill and by the way not all of them
why not have something more liberal
regardless the the poll numbers are rising for the democrats now even if
only slightly
that's that's good for them
amp approval ratings for the health care bill itself in the provision there
has increased significantly from before the bills passing
what i think about this what's going on
our people hearing
how i was against it i was against it i was against it poet one
well now i'm for it that's that's one possibility and
why would that happen any art one option is people want awagner
same reason that very popular very good sports teams
are very popular right people want to be on the side of the winter weather it's
their home team or not
and therefore people are switching to the side the prevailed
and prevailed i'm using the term with a lot of discretion prevailed in that the
democrats did pass
a van okayed bill that included
fraction
i would what they originally wanted option two is people are actually just
now learning what's in the bill and people like that
so through the lead up to the voting people just didn't know what was in the
building heard
death panels
media was dominated the talk of death penalty
but cetera so on and so forth and based on that ended standing
if you thought that the government wanted to pass a bill
that would allow them to choose
to pull the plug on grandma
on grandma's healthcare i can't understand why he wouldn't vote for that
now that it's past people are learning what's actually in the bill
and there are concerns about snow the the cost of it
but the reality is faring much better than the doctor death panels
which of these sounds to you like it may be what's going on people just want to
be on the winning side
the realize what the bill is in they like it don't know
i'm sure is a combination of the two but i have to say it's very rare
while listening to any
standard media outlet on t_v_ you hear what exactly in a bill
now is very rare that and maybe it's just really try to have to do some
research may be too difficult to to go through the list which we did last week
by the way and certainly and maybe politics dot com
you can't you can listen to our discussion it's probably a combination
of both and other factors
if you've been paying attention to the republicans they're now saying that
they're not going to cooperate with democrats anymore
because of what happened with health care because of what those
dad democrats did
with health care
correct me if i'm wrong but
the republicans haven't been cooperating with the democrats and struck a bomb it
was sworn in as president i mean it them i'm missing something now they're not
going to cooperate
are now require preview what's that i think that's what they're saying now the
other will be the moscow operation and let's be honest
no one cares
about bipartisanship neither side does unless it's the other side helping you
out
right know it bipartisanship is great when it's the other party going along
with what you want but not vice versa and by the way barack obama is not doing
anything unprecedented by going it alone without
these uncooperative self-described uncooperative republicans george w_ bush
did the same thing with his judges
the patriot act
we could do fifteen minutes just listing
the things that george w_ bush was essentially just going with the
republican party on
also rush limbaugh remember he said if this health care bill passes he would go
to
horm where where the costa rica he would go to costa rica he wouldn't move their
you would go there for all of his health care which has the exact national health
care system that he so desperately of trying to prevent from coming to the
u_s_ that's where he would go
my question is when does he go ones' next checkup
and if he's going
first next heart attack or if there is nexrad akers next detox
i wouldn't take southwest right and remember what happened to kevin smith
and and understandably i saw brush
not this year last year
at a talk radio conference he's looking pretty self and i have to say
but etc it's acai
i don't know when his first trip to costa rica will be will see
