Here was Democrat House of Representatives kook member Dennis Kucinich just three days ago, in a Cleveland Plains-Dealer op-ed:
I voted for this version of the health care bill, and it passed in committee. It was a compromise, but a reasonable one. However, the version of the bill that reached the House floor was considerably watered down. It had a severely weakened public option and the employee-retirement waiver had been stripped. It no longer constituted an incremental step forward that would provide relief to my constituents, so I could not support it. The version of the bill that passed the Senate was even worse.
Absent a strong public option or legal protection for states that wish to pursue single payer, the bill that the president is proposing is a step in the wrong direction. Even with the few modest improvements in the bill, the insurance companies will still have dozens of loopholes to deny care and continue to find ways to leave Americans with the unpayable bill.
Read the whole thing. So this UFO afficionado voted against the House bill because it wasn’t socialist enough, and he told readers in the Plains-Dealer that the Senate version was even further away from what he couldn’t support.
Now, after some White House schmoozing and bribes, the goofball has decided gee, he will vote for the Senate version that, days before, he had just trashed. So much for principle, right? This is why people hate politicians and loathe the city they lie and pontificate in. He thought it was a bad bill before…now, he’s seen the proverbial light and the “call of history” negates all that? Only a schmuck would buy that.
Did I mention his might be the deciding vote on this abortion? Yeah, it just might be.
