One more time with feeling: Thank you Dede!! You liberal piece of trash. You were embraced by the party for 20 years, and when you suffer your first real setback you came out for the Democrat in the 11th hour.

Owens was brought into the Democrat fold real quick.  He lied on the campaign trail, and the idiot moderates, like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football Lucy is holding, voted for the Democrat expecting him to keep his promise.   Rats!  Owens said he would not support a public option, well he voted for it.   He broke that and three other promises the first day in office.  Where is that football now Charlie?  From the Gouverneur Times:

Many feel that it was unlikely Mr. Owens would have won those crucial few thousand votes if the voting public was aware of his intent with regard to the Health Care bill.  The majority of residents in this district do not support the Health Reform bill as it is now written and many feel like they’ve become victims of a fraud perpetrated by their chosen candidate.

Ya think?  Message to the great pho-intellectuals of the middle — read some history!  Democrats migrate leftward in a flash once they reach Washington.  Wishing it were otherwise will not make it so, accept reality.  Read up on economics and find out that there are NO moderate economic theories.  Either you are a socialist central planner, or you allow the market to make choices.  Mixing the two always leads to the former squeezing out the later. Always.  Wishing it were otherwise, will not make it so.

Let this be a lesson to Newt, Owens was the 219th vote. Owen’s win gave Pelosi enough ammunition to finish off conservatism in the US. Public Healthcare is the holy grail for liberals. Why, because historically it causes the country to drift ever leftward.  Gingrich has mud on his face for supporting Dede, and 2012 will be harder for him.

Note to Republican leadership, try to at least run a moderate.  Running leftists makes it difficult for the conservatives (who are 3/4’s of the party) to vote for the candidates you field.  Scozzafava not only threw her support behind Owen, she was more liberal.    I guess it would be more embarrassing if she voted for the bill, but, there was another option.  The primary reason for a political party is to espouse a philosophy in the political arena, and bring this philosophy to life in legislation.  Picking candidates that are hostile to this philosophy makes no sense.

This is the US, not France, not England. We are made of sterner stuff. I hope conservatives do not go quietly into the night.  This vote today will seal the fate of the Democrat party in 2010.  But if the Republicans cannot hold on till then, or, overturn Obamacare, we as a nation are sunk.
