Scrawny "opts out" of getting a brain

Scrawny Harry Reid is in trouble. He’s polling at about 30% in Nevada, well behind either one of his Republican challengers for his senate seat. He’s trying like hell to thread the needle between the public option and no public option to get to the magic 60 vote total required to do anything in the Senate for Dear-Dope-a-Care. And there’s not a crooked land deal to be had anywhere near Las Vegas. Damn! What’s next, no patronage jobs for his no-talent off-spring?

But ever the fighter, the Scrawny One who always looks like Mr. Ziffle sucking on a lemon, blames Republicans for his woes. Apparently Scrawny is a public school grad and isn’t able to count the members of his own caucus. Hey, Scrawny, with the stolen election in MN and the seating of Demo-Dope clown Al Franken, you have 60 Demo-Dopes in the Senate. Go ahead, pass Dear-Dope-a-Care.

Ahh, but it easier said than done. Certain Demo-Dopes value their cushy job in DC more than doing what Dopes everywhere say 60% of Americans want – government run health care. So is the 60% number accurate? No way. If it were, Dear-Dope-a-Care would pass 99-0.

So these rebels will stand on principle and against 60% of Americans? I do not believe that there are 10 members of the senate who place would principle above re-election.

Poor Scrawny has to try to herd all 60 of his Demo-Dope prima donna alley cats to vote for his bill. A bill that apparently is as unpopular as Scrawny himself back in Nevada.

To prove that he is at least twice as clever as anyone else in the world, Scrawny came up with an “opt out” plan. Hey prefect, if states do not like the public option they can simply opt out the plan. Well sort of. States that "opt out" will still have to pay the freight on the public option but they can “opt out” of any of the benefits.

This guy has to be dumber than a truck load of dirt. States pay for the service and then “opt out” of the service provided? You pay for your groceries but leave them on the shelf in the supermarket. You make payments on the new car but you never bring it home.

The ONLY thing dumber than the Scrawny One coming up with this plan, is that there will be – no doubt – 40 Demo-Dopes who think it is a good idea and will vote for it with no reservation what-so-ever.

If the Scrawny one can get to 50, he can bastardize senate rules and make it law.

I hope he does, because there will be a lot of things that will need to be reversed if sanity ever returns to DC. It’ll a lot easier to reverse if some pompous dumb@ss has already set the precedence of a simple majority passing law in the senate.
