game changers

so apparently america's pissy little children of politics, the republican party, can't get it through their fuckin heads that they had their turn and its time to share. apparently according to many republican senators, and confirmed by rachel maddow, the democrats need to get 75 or 80 votes to pass health care. so i decided to inquire into which orifice these people (and i use that term loosely) unceremoniously yanked this 80% requirement. considering the us constitution requires a mere majority (51 votes or fifty and Joe Biden) hell, dems even conceded to the republicans the filibuster which requires a 60 vote majority to overturn, then proceded to put baby in a corner by winning 60 senate seats (yay al franken!). okay so where in the blue crossed/blue shielded hell did they come up with a 75-80% majority... as a launching point? so i checked the constitution and nowhere does it require more than majority. checked the ammendments: no 75% senate vote for bill ratification ammendment (though the 20th changed the dates of terms). checked case law precedent: found results about indonesian vendors, corporate business contracts, and senator vivian davis figures but no 75 vote majority in the senate. i was perplexed, and a little dejected. would a political party really have no precedent for such an outrageous figure?

then it dawned on me like dish detergent on a greasy pan: they don't want this bill to pass at all!! it's always bugged me that this rebel party would always seem to undermine the best interest of the people they claim to serve if it would increase their power, or, worse, just to stick it to the dems. they're like that kid who got told to sit out, so they kicked the ball into the neighbors yard. this is party that would rATHER HURT EVERYBODY THAn let the other guys win. you know those movies where the bad guy gets his ass kicked, and rather than just accept that his ass is kicked, he hits the self destruct button and takes everybody down with him? that's the republican party right now, and that's exactly what will happen if health care is defeated. but the pussy dems look lie they're going to sit back and let this affront on american politics slide! well i wont. those who are responsible for concocting this cockamamie scheme, this albatross, this unicorn of 75 senate votes as a requirement to pass health care must be set straight. they have to be forced to accept that they can't cheat us out of our necessities. besides the system is set up so that changes can take place, we oughta use it. so here's my proposal: every republican calling for a fillibuster on health care, or for a ridiculous majority, or for some bs bipartisan bill must write "universal health care is not a socialist conspiracy" over 1000 pages. and anyone who falls for any of the bs surrounding this issue (death panels and what not) must eat their words before the can become a real people like you and me, dear reader. after all, anything that tastes so gnarly must be good for you. and god knows they need to eat right, i mean, it's not like they have health care.
