An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings

An Observation

I’ve been watching the debate on the Senate floor, yesterday and this morning.  Yes, I’m a glutton for punishment!  :?   I’ve noticed something quite telling.  While the Democrats are speaking, I hear emotions.  With the Republicans, I see and hear facts, figures, and logic.  Am I biased?  Perhaps.  If I believed this bill would do anything to help in the costs of health care across the country, I would be a bit more supportive.  But I get the impression that none of the Democrats have even read the bill.

Invoking the Bush years makes them look rather petty.  Yes, Congress ran up the deficits during those years, and that’s why the Republicans lost the House in 2006.  Does it not occur to them they will lose in 2010 for the same reason?

    No Democrat ever met an emotion it couldn’t use to grind facts under its heel.

    Ah ha!  Well, then, I’d suggest conservatives in the Senate pull out the pictures of slaughtered babies.  If that doesn’t get some emotion going…….
