Et Tu, Baucus?
On September 30, 2009, the US Senate, which is currently/supposedly “controlled” by the Democratic party, “voted against a proposal to put a government administered ‘public option’ in the health reform bill that will come out of the Senate Finance Committee” (www.intershame.com). For those too lazy to follow the link, here are the names of 5 Senators who betrayed the Democratic party, accompanied with links from the “contact me” section of their official websites: Max Baucus (D-Mont), Kent Conrad (D-ND), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark), Bill Nelson (D-Fla) and Tom Carper (D-Del).
Update: The ASS Party
According to NPR, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid began private meetings Wednesday with fellow Democrats and the White House to merge his chamber’s two health care overhaul bills into a single plan that could win a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.” This means that, despite Baucus’s and other Democrats’ epic backstabbing, Majority Leader Harry Reid rode (or flew, rather) in on his magic dragon and busted a cap into the ass of his party, herein known as the “Ass Party.”
But the battle ain’t over yet, nor has the obese woman screeched. We still need to make sure the 5 Democrats mentioned earlier make the filibusterer-proof majority a reality and not just a novel notion. Myself a hobo and avid doodoo sculpter, I am somewhat of a skeptic of their success. But homeless or not, I will stand by my party…until they fail, until which I’ll run as a 3-rd party candidate under my very own just-now-created “Hobo Party,” the requirements of which require the lack of permanent housing, no more than 2 sets of clothing or at least 3 scars acquired during scuffles over discarded food (most Americans now qualify).

Jeremy is just upset that Democrats haven’t pushed as hard to legalize sodomy with hobos as they have for health care reform.
That’s the thing. “Conservative Democrat” is an oxymoron. If you’re conservative go be a Republican. And since WHEN am I against classless hobo jokes? WHEN have I stated “This site is about serious political discussion?” If I did, I probably followed it with a tasteless hobo joke. Thanks though for taking the time to review my site. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy (sort of like gay sex fantasies, you know, the ones that YOU try to forget every night but they just get stronger and gayer?)!
Why do you expect conservative Democrats from such staunch liberal bastions as Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas and Florida to support an extremely liberal proposal on healthcare? The only one on that list that surprised me in the least was Delaware, and even Delaware is relatively conservative for the Northeast.
Also, your classless hobo jokes make your economic liberal credentials somewhat doubtful.
I’m still waiting for a laugh. You owe me 56 at this point.
And legalize sodomy.
Here here! Fuck you Democracy! People are too stupid to vote anyway. Seriously. A democracy CANNOT work properly if the populace is undereducated, as they are currently. Until such time, they should just STFU and let smart people tell them what to do. And legalize marijuana. =)
I believe the “Hobo Party” is also known by a few other synonyms…”Communist”, “Green Party”, “Socialist Party”, and “Anarchist”.
Let us give thanks…by busting another cap in the ass of Democracy.
