Rise In Secret Bill Writing In Washington


No matter how long or how much of this nonsense goes on, some people still want to hang tight on the divisional aspects of party and ideology as the problem.

For Main St. there certainly is a problem. For Capitol Hill, everything is running like clock work.

And as long as everyone clings to this being a matter of left vs right, conservative vs liberal, Republican vs Democrat, this gov't which consists of but one party is free to do as they please and drag their feet on the needs of the people while moving forward with an agenda that has never been disclosed to the American people but remains a topic of conversation only in elite circles of business and in the back rooms of gov't.

The divisional properties of party and ideology as simply a means to difuse and redirect the anger of a distraught public and offer an ever shifting target for that displeasure while the machine of gov't conveniently moves on it's own accord towards whatever it intends to do and has intended to do for a century or more.
Perhaps it's time we as a populace should begin to hold government itself responsible for ethical behavior and producing the desired and promised results that a free society has demanded of it all along.
It doesn't matter which party "takes the hit" or appears to be responsible for the failure of existing or pending legislation.
Perhaps it's time we made it known of our displeasure with gov't as a whole and make Congress and the president accountable as a whole.
It's due time to strip gov't of the double blind it has created through the media and let our elected politicians know that hiding behind party lines is not going to afford either party absolution from the accountability they accepted when they were elected and swore an oath to this country and her people.

Rep. Joe Wilson Yells Out "You Lie!" During Obama Health Care Speech (VIDEO)

Wilson is a perfect specimen of the extremist right column that is driven to usurp any forward motion towards solving this country's 100 year social and domestic policy deficits. His rude and inaccurate interruption at an inappropriate time and in an inappropriate setting (which through fact checking bears out that he knew nothing of which he spoke) is indicative of the loose cannon... allow no one a view in opposition to your own...facts be damned... hell bent on being right in spite of all facts to the contrary attitude that we've seen for months in public debate over health care reform proposals in town meetings...where some fllow extremist right columnists have even brandished rifles in the parking lots of presidential appearances.

His outburst exposed him as the same sort of troglodyte in a Brooks Brother's suit that more than likely helped orchestrate the slew of fear generating lies that has thwarted the work of other good people of genuine effort to distribute health care to millions of people who desperately need it.

We now have a prime suspect in the allegiance that has come up with “death panels”, “higher taxation” scares, the forfeit of choice in physicians and the Socialism slanders and falsehoods we have been barraged with from Rush to Hannity to Fox News. Wilson owes not only the President and Congress an apology. He need publicly apologize directly to the people of America for his intentional dismissal of the rules of conduct and then roll up his sleeves and work markedly harder towards the betterment of any and all legislation which would improve upon the quality of life for American citizens rather than showing a continued willingness to only have concerns, accurate or otherwise to attempt to simply win the debate and deflate the popularity of a president for what simple deduction makes appear to be purely political and/or racial purposes.
If any private citizen even at an informal town hall or Bush appearance had done this, they would have been forced to the ground, possibly tasered and escorted off the premises.

It has taken place over less provocation.

Wilson should not get a free pass.

(And am I mistaken or are those two guys on either side of Wilson, clones?)
