As did Orwell in "1984", Patrick feels free to define words to suit himself. Black is White; up is down; good is evil; right is wrong; truth is falsehood.
"... to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the (Republican) Party is the guardian of democracy"-Orwell or Patrick? Hard to tell the difference.

The writer says, and I quote directly "... only people ... would benefit from rushing this legislation through without debate ...".

Yeah, yeah, I know ...

But this nonsense about "rushing" health care reform is just as bogus. Republicans have been successful in preventing reform or even serious discussion for decades. The result is the untenable, horrific situation we have today. Democrats are this nation's last, great hope. Today's republicans care not a whit about the people, and work ceaselessly toward a single end ... "Obama must fail", no matter the consequences to the nation.

I watched the Presidential debates last year. If you missed them, let me remind you that McCain promised he would "get Osama Bin Laden".

Not just talk. No weasel worded qualifications, no paring of language and no "maybe's". Just straight talk. McCain claimed that he positively knows how to get him and knows exactly what to do and precisely how to do it. John McCain would never have made such a clear, positive statement if it weren't true.

McCain is a Patriot, a war hero, so despite losing the election, I'm certain he has shared that knowledge with the Commander in Chief of our armed forces.

I believe that's why Obama has taken time to announce his Afghan strategy. He's been planning how, using McCain's inside information, to kill or capture Bin Laden with least loss of life.
