Healthcare and the end of the world

Congressional Republicans and loudmouths alike, in light of the fact that they will be defeated on healthcare after a year of belligerently saying no, have sullenly and begrudgingly acknowledged what is going to happen tomorrow. After a few days of gathering requisite support from the Democratic rank-and-file, in a few hours, a great thing will happen. The House will vote to pass the healthcare bill (although the final product will not be the bill's current form). There will be no chance for Republican opposition after this point other than some more whining about how what has happened is somehow not fair. No. It's not that it's not fair. It's that the GOP, unsurprisingly, is being a sore loser. They constantly whine about how the procedures in Congress are being manipulated unscrupulously. Yet when they controlled the majority, didn't they try to put procedures in place to try and ban the filibuster? These idiots act as if they're being abused somehow by what the Democrats have done, when in fact it's the Republicans who have been doling out the abuse, screaming "ZOMG ZOCIALISM" and "HURR DURR TAXES" in our faces for the past year? They're abusing me by putting forth the same stupid claims about how the world's gonna end if we pass healthcare.

So it's the day of reckoning today, and if Republicans are right, expect the economy to crash tomorrow, for everyone to lose his or her job, for the government to immediately establish "death panels" that will judge whether your parents should continue to live. Oh, and the government--it's going to become SOCIALIST tomorrow. It's all going to happen, before your very eyes. I plan on listening to conservative programs tomorrow like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly and listen to them rage about the vote. They hate when things aren't under their control. I want Glenn to pull his hair out, do some yelling and screaming, and maybe fake-cry. I want O'Reilly's conniving ass to make some stupid ass commentary about how it's all somehow meaningless and it's not really a win for Democrats. It's all predictable to me now. People eat it up like stumbling into a pancake breakfast after three days in the desert. And the wheels of hypocrisy and fear-mongering will continue to turn. Yet something major has been accomplished, and it once again reaffirms that change, albeit slow, is possible. I, for one, am inspired by what looks to be the final crucial vote on HCR.
