<p>Imagine that you were a politician (disgusting, I know, but try&#8230;). Imagine that you were trying to pass a wildly unpopular piece of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">shit</span> legislation, that your <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">overlord </span> boss insisted must be passed (something to do with the end of civilization as we know it). But, your  <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">quivering slimeballs</span> comrades in this endeavor don&#8217;t want anyone to know what they have done.</p>
<p>So <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The Wicked Witch of the House</span> Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi wants the  House to  vote on a more popular package of fixes to the Senate &#8220;<strong><em>Health Care Reform bill</em></strong>&#8220;; under the House rule for that vote, passage would signify that lawmakers “deem” the health-care bill to be passed. This sounds like &#8220;Let&#8217;s Pretend&#8221; to me.</p>
<p>It is one of three options that Pelosi said she is considering for a late-week House vote, but she added that <strong>she prefers it</strong> because it would <strong>politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure. </strong></p>
<p>God Forbid that we should have and accountability or transparency in government! God Forbid that any of our elected representatives should have to admit that they voted to pass a bill that slightly over half of the American public doesn&#8217;t want.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t want this bill</p>
<p>No, Sir we don&#8217;t</p>
<p>We want it not,</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t , We don&#8217;t</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t you hear,</p>
<p>it&#8217;s not for us.</p>
<p>How many ways can we say NO</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve said my piece, I  think I&#8217;ll go</p>
<p>By the way MY ANSWER IS (STILL) <strong>NO</strong>.</p>
<p>What part of &#8220;No&#8221; don&#8217;t they understand?????</p>
