Remember your old grade school classes, when the teacher - after licking her fingers - would pass out the day's lesson to the students?
Picture the traditional parochial school back in the old days; with Nancy Pelosi as "Sister Mary Meany," standing over her classroom of scared children (the blue-dogs) - ready to jump at her every command!
But that's exactly what's going on in our most humble chamber of Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives (House of Horrors would be more appropriate).
This is why the democrats always manage to be on the SAME page everyday. And notice how a democrat at a townhall meeting in New Jersey, or one at a townhall in Texas, each use the EXACT same phrases, and tell the same lies almost verbatim.
But how?
How could a Democrat in New Hampshire, or one in Minnesota - having been home for the last 3 weeks- all be saying the same thing (and sounding like poll parrots) if they were not receiving general talking points from Washington every morning?
Picture Rahm Emanuel and Pelosi in private conference last night:
(scene: Nancy Pelosi in her office, in deep thought with Rahm Emanuel)
Emanuel: "These stupid *%$#**!# just won't give up! What's it gonna take to subdue them? This is the first *#%!!*#* time we’ve failed to invent a good cover story!"
Pelosi: "Well, it's not easy, like with the stimulus, where we kept scaring them about getting laid off, and had 'em worried about rising unemployment numbers."
Emanuel; "Hmmm. You're right. But we should've come up with something by now. After all, we were in the same mess with cap and trade for a month, until I came up with that phrase "creating clean energy jobs." "The suckers sure bit on that one!"
Pelosi: "Well Rahm, what's gonna be your big idea this time? Another crisis? Barack's under a lot of pressure from George (Soros). He says if we don't get the bill he wants passed by November, George is gonna make it real tough on him for 2012. And you know what that means."
Emanuel: "Yeh...I know. But I kind of like that one Barack began using a while ago...'doing nothing is NOT an option'...maybe we should just forget all the other stuff and keep pounding away with that."
(the conference drags out into the early AM)
As we speak, Obama; Pelosi; Reid; Axelrod; Emanuel - all the big ringleaders are under huge pressure from the "big guy" - Mr. Soros!
In 2008, Soros played kingmaker:
It was George Soros - using the internet - who funneled all those hundreds of millions of dollars into the DNCC's campaign coffers, which enabled them to run zillions of negative TV campaign commercials.
Result? The democrats swept not only the Whitehouse, but the other two Houses as well!
Sure people were unhappy with Bush in '08; but how about Congress? Could there have been THAT MANY people who were upset with their local congressman? No way!
The democrats won an incredible amount seats last November, and it wasn't just because of dissatisfaction; it was because of huge campaign funding; Democrats outspending Republicans by as much as 5-to 1 in some contests.
How does someone like Al Franken - one of the lowliest, ugliest, most graceless and evil-minded persons around - defeat a well-educated, well-spoken classy INCUMBENT like Norm Coleman, and win away his seemingly secure Senate seat?
ANSWER: Repetitive, negative campaign ads- and hundreds of them!
October 31, 2008: one week before the election - a Minnesota Quinnipiac poll had Franken far behind Coleman- 51% to 41.
Then, the Franken smear machine switched into overdrive: The DNCC stepped in and spent 1.5 milion dollars to run unending, negative campaign commercials - ALL lies!
The most damaging of the Franken ads claimed..."Norm Coleman has been ranked the 4th MOST CORRUPT Senator by the watchdog group, "Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington" (CREW):
The ad continued..."Coleman has been listed near the top as one of the 20 most corrupt members of Congress."
But as it turned out, the whole thing was fabricated! Coleman was not on CREW's "corrupt" list, which contained only three Senators.
Another phony Franken ad stated..."Norm Coleman voted to give billions in tax breaks to oil companies"..."Now they're raking in record profits, and we're paying four bucks a gallon for gas!"
Michele Bachmann, another heavily-favored Republican from Minnesota, came within a mere 2% from being upset, after suddenly popping up on the Pelosi /Emanuel radar screen for her comments on MSNBC's "Hardball."
After accusing Congressional democrats of being 'un-American', Bachmann survived a razor close race that had no business even being close. Pelosi personally had come to Minnesota, and assumed control of Democrat challenger Elwyn Tinkleberg's campaign, injecting a cool 2 million in DNCC money - mostly going towards negative campaign commercials.
So the next time you see some arrogant democrat on TV, defiantly answering back at a roomful of shouting constituents- stop wondering why. Their minds were made up last June, when Obama first began talking about reforming health care
Emanuel and Pelosi have given their "constituents" (the House democrats) zero leeway: vote FOR the bill - or we work against you!
If they vote "nay" they will not get any money from the DNCC (democratic national campaign committee) for the 2010 midterms. This translates to very few TV commercials - the "lifeblood" of incumbency.
So even though one's constituents may be pleased with a "no" vote on HR 3200, any House democrat who crosses "Sister Mary Meany" Pelosi will be dealt with harshly; a whack over the head with the yardstick, plus no campaign money- and they will still be in jeopardy (from the right) with the Republican effort to win back the House.
Now on the other hand, for democrats voting "yes" on Obamacare (HR 3200), many political goodies shall be forthcoming:
- they receive millions in DNCC campaign money; which means hundreds of negative campaign commercials - usually sufficient to defeat ANY challenger
- they will receive a flood of earmark money for their home districts: Just think about all those FRONT PAGE stories in local newspapers, with headlines "Local Congressman Brings Home the Bacon" (works every time) .
- they advance rapidly up the "key committee" ladder: There are chairmanships galore to be shuffled around; and to the victors go the spoils.
NOTE: Committee chairs are the most powerful positions in Washington, outside of Speaker and Majority Leader.
So if you were wondering about our democratically-elected Congress...wonder no more. It's no longer up to the constituents - it's up to the power elite in Washington, who can either bribe one to the moon, or cast them off into the political landfill, where they remain buried in ignominy for daring to go against these mafia-like power brokers.
Government healthcare (HR 3200) will pass in the House; not because anyone really wants it, but because the democrats have bowed to their money base (George Soros). And if they dare cross him, its just like any chain of command: the big man at the top calling the shots, and all the underlings below, who must answer- or else.
It's all elementary.
