I'm just a Bill

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.

REMEMBER THAT LITTLE DITTY?


Since CHANGE is the KEY WORD HERE:

AMERICAN PEOPLE: Health Care Bill, you mean even if the majority of the people says you shouldn't be a law, the Congress can still vote yes?

Health Care Bill: Yes, that's called deal making. They don't have to worry about an Obama veto either. Don't worry about those that oppose me, Obama will not say No to me, the little Health Care Bill, he has made so many deals, given away so many tax payers' monies to get Congress to vote his way, told so many untruths, he is going to sign me...my ink will not even get a chance to dry before he writes his name on me. Your Congress has sold their honor, for a bridge, an airport, a new committee assignment, or even for a ride on Airforce One.

AMERICAN PEOPLE: What about us? What about us? What about us? Didn't we elect Congress and the President to represent us? Aren't they suppose to listen to us?

Health Care Bill: Sorry America, I'm too big, too important, too "historical" to fail. I'm the Democrat's secret love child. I'm going to be crammed down your throats and you are going to love me. And if you don't, the he!! with you. You can take your precious vote and shove it.
Health Care Bill: I was just a bill but now I'm a law
Yes, I was only a bill that a majority of Americans didn't want.
And when they voted for me on Capitol Hill they forgot about America, they forgot about the American People, they knew what was best for us, even though they had to be bribed with all kinds of deals to say yea.


Then I'm off to the White House on a really fast track
Where I'll move to the front of the line
For Obama to sign and then as a law, I go back to Congress to make the corrections to fix me because I had so many flaws. And then more deals, more threats, more sausage making, more giving the American People the finger will take place... but this is a Great Day for America, right?


What a sad day for all Americans. We finally found out how a real bill works. Yes, the truth comes out. Back room deals, threats, arm twisting, voting to save your job, lies, changing the way you vote multiple times depending on what is in it for you...but the sad part, the part that hurts the most...is not listening to the people who elected you to Congress. The Democrats and Obama can do their little dance of joy, but when all of these CHANGES, start sending our country down the drain, and the real truth comes out...life in America will be changed forever. That's CHANGE I could do without, now all I can do is HOPE we can correct this.

So are you talking about this only happening with the Democrats? I'm sure that the "holy" Repubs would never do this......:cool:
 
Republicans are no better. I'm sure that they have done the same thing. But I guess this is my first real time seeing it in action...watching votes change after special deals or special rides or even special $$$ given to certain states. Watching our President do his thing so out in the open...watching Americans trying to tell their Congress that this bill isn't what they want and being ignored or even made fun of by our elected officials. It was a real shocker knowing votes are being casted on bills that have not been read..also seeing for myself that bills are being written with the goal that they can't be read.

It was a real eye opener to the sad affairs that now describe our government. It is no longer a government of the people, for the people, by the people. It is a government for the party that has the most members and can shove their "special" agenda forward. I believe all of Congress should have limited terms...no more career politicians...too many multiple terms or "political careers" breed the "the big ME" attitude. No one should sell their vote for any reason and many Democrats did just that so that they could get to that magic number 216! They didn't try to hide it ....they did it right in front of our eyes. If this bill was so perfect and so great, and they control both sides of Congress, why did they have to arm twist, promise, threaten, and do special deals...if it was so wonderful for our country, couldn't it just have been passed it with an up or down vote?

As far as going from a grape to a raisin...I guess that happens when there is too much sun, air, and light as well as time....so perhaps I am a dried up Republican who has also been exposed to too much light...both about her Congress and her President...I do know that this old RAISIN knows that this Health Bill didn't see much sunlight, certainly not much air ...it was written in closed quarters and it certainly wasn't read before anyone voted on it. It didn't have time to age and in fact there is a rush to sign it. It will be signed on Tuesday. I think that soon the American public (including Democrats) are really going to be shocked to find out exactly what is really in this bill that has nothing to do with HEALTH CARE and how it is going to change OUR AMERICA and all of our lives. All ready the Student Loan Government Take Over is going to be part of it...and exactly what does this have to do with Health Care for the American people...again I say, a sad day for America.

Why yes American people...in THIS country, a candidate doesn't even have to receive the vote of the majority of the people to become PRESIDENT!!!! Right, Georgie W?
