From the Confederate Yankee:
Robert Byrd has been around a very long time, and his many decades of service have made West Virginia a wonderful state in which to manufacture methamphetamine or frame the locals for murder. But it’s time for Senator to do the right thing, and expire. It isn’t too much to ask for Byrd to step off for that great klavern in the sky before the Senate vote that may force this nation to accept government-rationed health care. Even a nice coma would do. Without his frail, Gollum-like body being wheeled into the Senate’s chambers to cast the deciding vote, the Senate cannot curse our children and grandchildren with crushing debt and rationed, substandard health care.
Sad. Wishing ill on someone, to avoid putting practical solutions to work for the betterment of your country. It really didn’t have to come to this. Conservatives decided to use their time to obstruct and forego any real dialogue that would have potentially led to a bipartisan solution to health care reform. Wanna know why? Because they didn’t care one wit about it. They’ve had years to come up with a free market, less government answer to our health care dilemma. They had an opportunity to shape this debate. Instead it they let it linger, and the ultimate solution was decided ostensibly without them.
Perhaps the next time major policy issues are weighed, they should take a page from the campaign of John McCain, and put “country before self and party.”
