In a Politico post about Democrat’s mounting anger (which is really fear), Obama demonstrates how tenuous their grasp on reality is:

“Believe me, I know how big a lift this has been,” Obama said. “I see the polls. … I catch the occasional blog poster, cable clip that breathlessly declares what something means for a political party, without really talking about what it means for a country. 

“But I also know what happens once we get this done, once we sign this … bill into law: The American people will suddenly learn that this bill does things they like and doesn’t do things people have been trying to say it does. The worst fears will prove groundless.”

That man is such an snake-tongued politician. He’s telling them exactly what they want to hear. Obama knows the public will flip out and the Democrats will be slaughtered in the next election if this travesty passes. He’s hoping the heinous legislation will ’stick’ and the constitution will ultimately be subverted. Even an unqualified political blogger like me knows that.

Mr. Messiah-Complex sees himself has Our Savior and he’s therefore willing to sacrifice himself in the next election, if necessary. Since he’s their Dear Leader, he’s also willing to sacrifice individual Democrats for the “greater good.”  They sense their impending doom, but, like good little groupthinkers, they’re still committed to their suicide mission. This situation produced Rep. Earl Pomeroy’s statement that “he might as well retire if [the health care debate] drags on much longer.” Pomeroy isn’t even entertaining the option of NOT voting for the corrupt bill. For Democrats like Pomeroy, Obama is purposely perpetuating the strange myth that the public fury will ease off once the bill is passed.

The public does N-O-T take kindly to having it’s will thwarted on Health care. Recall the Clinton decision to govern from the left, with gays in the military, HillaryCare, and a tie vote tax increase in the face of a Bush-Perot vote of 57% to 43% for Clinton followed by Republican revolution of 1994? The public will only become further enraged when they find out what’s really in this DeathCare bill. It will make health care much worse, no socio-economic group will truly benefit from it, save one.

Make no mistake – this “health care” legislation is a major power grab for the Power Elite Class. They’re pushing the constitution to the limits, hoping it will break in their favor. It’s important to note this class crosses party lines. From Gallup:

20% of Republicans support this legislation? This legislation is so nakedly anti-liberty, so hostile to individual freedom that nobody who cares even a little about our constitutional democracy’s survival would ever support it. But, one out of every five Republicans do support it? 

I’d wager most of these are Colin Powell Republicans, members of the Power Elite Class. These are the weak-minded Machiavellian Princes interested in giving themselves more power over those unruly common citizens by suppressing bothersome inalienable rights under the auspices of “‘helping’ those less fortunate.” These are the people that want to take away your right not to buy something you don’t want.

An open challenge to Colin Powell.

Ah, Colin Powell, you contemptuous, awful man, you. Over the years since you left the military I have been continuously thunderstruck at how you manage justify your callous, disgraceful behavior to yourself. 

You are a craven fool. Do you get lots of pats on the back from your beltway friends after your appearances on softball liberal news shows? Do they say, “Good Job, Colin, we’ll keep on accepting you socially as long as you betray the Republicans” or do they just give you that impression?

I suppose you have not yet depleted your dorsal knife supply, which is good for you. There are so many more Republicans to undercut in the name of “unity” and “diversity.” If the Republican party is the party of inclusion, compassion, and tolerance, as you said - why are you are trying so hard to exclude and marginalize fiscal, ideological and religious conservatives? Could it be because you aren’t  any one of those? What’s true is that you have no business calling yourself a Republican or a conservative.

But, WOW, you sure do love to pretend to be a conservative/Republican!

Your recent appearance (vid below) on Rachael Maddow’s show where you deliberately undermine valiant GOP efforts to stop the schizophrenic Democratic spending was especially illuminating:

Powell: “I have never seen a spending freeze work.”

That is despicably false. 

1) There has never, EVER, in the history of the US government been a “spending freeze.”

2)  The discretionary spending “freeze” the GOP budget (pdf) is referring to is a freeze in spending increases for EARMARKS. That’s right, a “freeze” in Washingtonspeak means Congress doesn’t spend any more money than they already are and the GOP is proposing to stop spending more $$$$ on pork! How terrible of them! Of course, you already know this; you’re just playing the game. All in the name of unity, right, Powell?

Your “I have never seen a spending freeze work” lie is just one ice shard on the tip of your iceberg of deceit. There is MUCH more to be said, but fisking you would be pointless.

Damn Traitor, Damn Liar:

Note: I recognize that Colin Powell has given a great deal to America, but that does not in any way excuse him from being challenged for his current dishonorable behavior.
