Victory With No Honor – Senate Passes Healthcare Bill

Special sweetheart deals for Florida and Connecticut are overshadowed by what may be the most expensive and openly public bribe in U.S. history for the state of Nebraska. The Corn Husker's are mostly insulted by Sen. Nelsons last minute deal to circumvent paying some 100 million dollars a year to help foot the costs of the bill but even the Governor of that state, Dave Heineman, says Nebraskans don't want this kind of exclusion.

Republicans have vowed to fight on in both the last bit of work to reconcile the House and Senate differences in the bill and more importantly with legal challenges and actions intended to question the constitutionality of the bill. Representatives from both the House and Senate have been getting onboard the idea of testing the bills legality; the latest among them is Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., who on Tuesday Dec 22, 2009 renewed the call to others who are doubtful, to check the constitutionality of the bill.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R- Ala., has indicated that the Constitution may have been violated because the understanding of the constitution is that the government must play a limited role in the commerce and free trade of the nation. Forcing people to buy health care is anything but limited and may clearly be seen to most Americans as a step toward a complete takeover of their rights and free enterprise as it has been for over two centuries.

Frankly, when a highly respected Republican chooses to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate just a few days before a presidential election, one has to wonder, what went wrong? The question here is for the Republicans, because whether or not the Democrats thought Powell's decision was forthcoming they now hold a major trump card they do not need to question.

MTV has revealed the video and proud proclamation of the youth organization called "Rock the Vote." The video asks that sexual favors be withheld from anyone not willing to support the Obama healthcare bill. Some see it as a reprieve on the promulgation of STDs and a moratorium on unbridled immorality. Others have suggested that it is a chance to clear up the gene pool at least for a while.

The Rock the Vote video objectifies women, speaks reams about the shape of America's MTV generation and leaves a taste in the mouth something like a rotten egg. It seems to prove that even with all that is new in packaging, advertising and marketing the contents of the latest treats should still be checked for an expiration date. It also proves that there is still very often a fine line and a short space between proclamation and regurgitation.

Some members of the judiciary were strongly opposed to the introduction of the Supreme Court. This may have been because they felt it an unnecessary extravagance or some have argued that it was foisted on them by Tony Blair, without consultation or discussion with any of the judges.

The Conservatives have not been keen to back it either, complaining about the new court's set-up cost of £100 million and increased running costs of some £10 million per year more than the cost of the old House of Lords.

The war in Iraq is the oracle of what went wrong for the Republicans. And, their legacy might forever remain a government that initiated a war in Iraq causing our nation to lose many courageous soldiers who fought a battle with a mission that is yet unknown.
