Of Lipstick and Pigs

We’ve all heard the old cliche about putting lipstick on a pig, but Democrats in particular seem to rely on futile attempts at doing so when things don’t go their way. For example global warming.

When it became abundantly evident that the MDI was beginning to lose their hold on the subject, they changed it to “global climate change”. Different name, same bad science.

First the planet has a fever that is going to endanger all life on the planet inside of 100 years and we must act now to stave off certain destruction. Now, since the planet is actually cooling, they cannot make the same argument with a straight face, hence “global climate change.”

Their latest attempt at package redesign is the much maligned public option.

As Congressional Democrats read poll numbers that indicate that the American public is by far opposed to a government run health care option Nancy Pelosi et al are now attempting to paint the proverbial pig with a new shade of lip decor. Some ugly critter she’s attempting to call a “competitive option”. However, she and her minions failed to send a memo to Harry Reid. Ooops.

Opposition to the “public option” is solidly in the mid 50’s and is showing signs that it is in the throws of near certain death. In an attempt to play bait and switch, SanFran Nan and her House full of liberal hacks want you to believe that their “competitive option” is something new. Their real goal? Achieve 218 votes on the floor of the House.

Harry, that senile old goat, has now announced the creation of a “public option” from which the states can “opt out”. Yeah, right. I’ll believe that when I see it. Supposedly the states could opt out of the Porkulus Package too but we’ve see how they’ve treated South Carolina for attempting to “opt out”.

The truth of the matter is they believe that if they just repackage anything that you don’t like into something that appears to be different than that which you oppose, you’ll just buy their polished up chotchkes like some tourist in a gift shop. The problem with this theory is that no matter what kind of wrapping they put on their box of shit, inside it is still shit. Now the question is, are you buying?
