Rumblings that the “public option” is dead?

I just posted a version of this as a comment over at Classical Values[*1] . It’s regarding reports coming out of Washington that the Democrats are giving up on the “public option” for health care/health insurance reform. As far as I’m concerned, that’s a good start.

There are some who are saying that the people have won, that our voices have been heard, and that–miraculously–our “representatives” in Congress will actually represent us, for once.

Me, I’m not buying it.

No, we have not won yet.

The time to rest is when all of the current set of 435 idiots who currently either wander around the U.S. Capitol voting on things they haven’t read, or cower in abject fear from facing their electorate, are sent home and a new crop of Congresscritters are brought in next year to spoil in the fetid heat of the Washington swamp.

And not a moment sooner.

These people will try their damndest to get their way, in the dark of night, by passing some abomination of an unread, pork-laden, special-interest-feeding bill into law, then they will try to come home and tell us it wasn’t their fault.

No sale. No health care bill, period. You had your chance, chumps, and you blew it.

Go home. This nation is better without your kind of “representation.” Do not bother us again.

Update Changed “cowering” to “cower.” Mind your tenses, out there.
