Diary or not I do not care. Daily Kos is super slow? Is it the commercials? Is it the embeded videos everywhere? Seriously what is going on. I do not think it is my computer or my Internet provider because I have a fast computer and Cable internet. Anyone knows why this site is becoming so slow? What is the solution?

Enough with the "Purists"

I had it with the purists. Whining and complaining that the sky is falling because President Obama agreed on a two years Bush tax cuts extension for everyone. Well I have news for you purists. According to a Gallup poll 66% of Americans agree with the tax cut extension for two years and for everyone. You do not want to hear facts because they interfere too much with your delusional pure ideological world that you live in. In this regard there is no difference between the left wing purists and the right wing purists.

Do you really believe that a majority of Americans are pure ideologues with a strict left or right ideology? If you do then you are as delusional as the right wing ideologues. The system that was established by our Founding Fathers was exactly created to prevent pure ideologues from being able to take over the reign of powers whether they are from the left or from the right. You go against the system with your pure ideology and you will be crushed, it is that simple.

The history of our Republic is full of crushed and defeated purist ideologues on the left and right. So you go ahead and join all the ideological losers if you want to, I and 66% of my fellow Americans will not.

Despite all the evidence that show with zero shadow of doubt that the last compromise in the Senate healthcare bill is nothing but utter defeat for the public option and for the progressive demands for healthcare, let us convince ourselves on this forum that this healthcare is good.

Seriously folks, what part you do not get about "Democrats Do Not Have 60 Votes" to overcome a filibuster on the current public option proposal in the Senate healthcare bill. You can yell, scream, jump all over the place, fax, e-mail, call, but at the end they do not have the 60 votes needed.

Since yesterday we have been seeing another wave of delusional euphoria erupting on Daily Kos when the CBO scored the Senate healthcare bill in a positive way. For many, this is it, we won, we finally got a healthcare bill. But the delusion will always be crushed by reality and the reality is that this Senate healthcare bill is going nowhere in its current form and in particular in the current form of the public option that it contains.

From AP: http://news.yahoo.com/...

WASHINGTON – The Senate Democratic leader indicated Tuesday that lawmakers may not complete health care legislation this year, missing President Barack Obama's deadline on his signature issue and pushing debate into a congressional election year.

As expected by some here the story posted yesterday that Lieberman is not going to fillibuster the current Senate healthcare bill is porved to be wrong.

Greg Sargent contacted both Reid and Lieberman offices and both denied that Lieberman will not fillibuster the bill. In fact Liberman office was very clear that Lieberman was going to allow a debate on the bill but he will fillibuster a cloture to vote on the bill if it contains the public option. Read More

After all the fuss, public health plan covers few (2%)

WOW, what a super powerful and robust public option we got in the House. Here is an article by AP published on NPR stating that after all the fuss and energy spent by democrats on public option only 2% of the population less than 65 years old will be covered under the public option as presented in the House bill.

This public option is a joke and spare us the other joke in the bill that says it will be open for everyone in 2015, making something to start five years in the future is a total delusion in the world politics.

Moreover the public option is dead in the Senate in it is current form of opt-out public option so if they agree on a trigger it will be a trigger of a very insignificant public option similar to that of the House bill. Read More

I am amazed by the people who are celebrating the presumed "public option" in the House bill. Where is the public option? How do you define public option? The House bill simply expands some type of Medicare coverage for a family of four making less than $ 34,000 a year and this medical coverage is not an available for families making more than that. Also it is not available for individuals making less than $ 34,000. I do not know when an individual is qualified for this coverage but for certain he or she should make much less than $ 34,000 a year to qualify. So where is the public option? This is a joke folks and many here are celebrating a joke as if it is a huge victory.

It is just amazing what 10 months can do in politics. The healthcare reform went from single payer to strong public option, to a weak public option, to trigger public option, and now to co-op. This is a joke but a very bad one. The Democrats control the White House and have very strong majorities in both houses of Congress, they can pass anything they want but yet they cannot pass anything meaningful. The weakness of the Democratic Party is simply shocking. May be it was better for them and the country if they have stayed a minority party, at least they had strong stand on principles when they were a minority party but now they have all the power and they showed their true colors: They are cowards, not all of them, but enough of them to self defeat themselves, the party, and the country.

The irony is that many on Daily Kos, a possible majority, are now OK with the Baucus bill. The Baucus bill?! Give me a break. Few weeks ago the Baucus bill was so hated here but now, OK that is fine, at least we will get something. What the hell are you going to get? Co-op, really that is how desperate you are now to get something done and claim a pyrrhic victory? Enjoy your silly victory. The Republicans are laughing. Why? Because they have won the healthcare debate.

Go ahead, flame away, I do not care anymore.

This is from someone called tribble ad agency:

http://www.tribbleagency.com/...

Obama chooses Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President:

We have a credible lead that Barack Obama will be announcing Kathleen Sebelius for Vice President / VP.

Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama campaign, and have noted that the vast majority of the discussions there are regarding material logistics in terms of Kathleen on the vice president ticket. Now until this is verified please file it as rumor, however our sources on this are not bad.. and have yet to be proven wrong.

Our source noted "It will get a women on the ticket that shares the same views as Obama" a reference to many of the Hillary supporters..

Then of course we had to do some research......................

Obama should announce his VP pick in the 24 hours because it is the smartest thing to do politically. If he does so then Obama will totally control this week news cycle and then he will have the week of the convention. That is two weeks of absolute Obama news coverage.

Some say that it is not good to do it now because of the Olympics. That is a very weak argument. In fact Obama should announce his VP pick during prime time coverage of the Olympics so even NBC will cut their Olympics coverage to break this important news and thus having a massive audience who will hear about it. Moreover all the news media will be talking about this all the way until next Monday the start of the DNC convention.

PS: Do not be surprised if Hillary Clinton will be Obama VP.
