The Million Dollar Man Was Right, "Everybody has a Price."

The old World Wrestling Federation, now known as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has always had good instincts when it comes to marketing their product. They know how to tell a story that depicts the struggle between good and evil without melodramatic preachiness. The WWE characters almost always personify good and evil. In wrestling terminology, the "Faces" are the good guys and the "Heels” are the bad guys.

One of the more colorful wrestlers from the late 1980s and early 1990s was Ted DiBiase, also known as "The Million Dollar Man."  DiBiase was a "heel" if ever there was ever one.  DiBiase would condescendingly sneer that "Everybody has a price."  He would then demonstrate the "purchasing power" of his money such as buying off the manager of a local swimming pool to close it for the entire day so that he could have the pool to all to himself.

After this last weekend we all should know that the "Million Dollar Man" was right.  The recent cloture vote on the misnamed Health Care Reform shows that anybody can be bought.  We have the "Louisiana Purchase" of Senator Mary Landrieu's vote for up to $300 million in Federal Medicaid funds that are certain to disappear in the corruption rathole that has characterized Louisiana politics since the days of Huey Long.  (As an aside, the old Huey Long "Share the Wealth" limitations on executive pay sounds strikingly familiar to the limitations on insurance executive pay and expense accounts contained in the proposed Health Care Reform (sic) legislation.)  Some like Glenn Beck have likened her to the highest paid hooker in history.  This greatly upset those genteel loving folks at MediaMatters, the propaganda front group for that little Fascist, George Soros. 

We also know that Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) from got additional time to "study" the legislation.  But after all those hours of study Blanche's answer to the question as to where the Constitutional grants authority to force Americans to purchase insurance is plain wrong.  Blanche du Bonehead answered that the U.S. Constitution “charges Congress with the health and well-being of the people.”  BZZZZZT!  Wrong answer Blanche, because unlike Prego® Pasta sauce it's not in there.  You could take another 100 years to study and you still wouldn't get it right. 

Senator Ben "Let's Make a Deal" Nelson got the Federal government to pick-up the full tab for Nebraska's growing Medicaid population.  Other states also got similar Medicaid assistance.  Lurking somewhere in all of this is the apparent illegal use of public money to de facto purchase the votes of Senators.  It used to be that bribes were done privately with cash-filled envelopes left at a drop spot.  Now it's brazenly done and condoned as doing the people's business.  What kind of people are we to stand for this overt corruption?  At a minimum, there has to be an equal protection argument in favor of the aggrieved taxpayer citizens of those states not chosen to receive a piece of the Chicago style bribery action.  Query: Has your Senator committed political malpractice by not bringing home any of the Medicaid loot?

Here's a handy rule of thumb to employ whenever listening to any Democrook politician pontificate about ethics in government.  Always assume the opposite that they say is the truth.  When "Broke" Hussein Obama talks about transparency in government, you know the Liberal-Fascists are busy with their backroom Chicago deals and looting the Treasury in every way that they can.  The bottomline is that the Democrooks sincerely hate America and are looking to destroy this country.  They are plutocrats only concerned with feathering their own nests and relegating the rest of us to subservient serfdom.  Yes, it's true that they believe in equality--the equality of misery for us little people.  If you don't believe it, then why don't the 60 Senate elitists that voted for this health care legislative mess subject themselves to the health care reform monster that they created? 

Perhaps we should all pause and consider the opening words of the Declaration of Independence.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The blatant corruption of the Democrook Party impels us to ensure in that in 2010, they be separated from the body politic with all deliberate speed and by any legal means necessary.
