This week the indictment and arrests of leading San Francisco and California Democrat politicians follows a long string of corruption cases involving prominent Democrats. It brings to mind the ridiculous charges by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (echoing Howard Dean) that the Republicans were responsible for a “culture of corruption” and that she, a woman, was going to sweep the Congress clean of it. Included in her litany of things charged as corrupt was the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill which she attacked in a press release and privileged resolution on December 8, 2005:
Across the country, seniors are trying to navigate the complicated and confusing Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit; it is complicated and confusing because it was written to meet the needs of drug companies and private insurers, not the needs of Medicare beneficiaries.
Today Democrats tried to hold Republicans responsible for the culture of corruption and cronyism that led to this sham of a bill. Instead, Republicans have rejected calls to give beneficiaries an additional six months to choose a plan, and remove the prohibition so the government can negotiate for lower prices. Democrats believe that our seniors deserve better, that is why we are going to keep working for a real Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit.
It’s worth remembering her words in a week where the president has once again delayed implementation of a key portion of ObamaCare (which HHS Secretary Sibelius had earlier said could not be lawful),a law whose popularity, like that of the president, continues to tank as her party colleagues step into the criminal dock in droves.
Whatever America’s political version of Maerose Prizzi says is worth a laugh for the sheer chutzpah of her mendacity, but will voters who aren’t getting their news online even be aware of the nationwide Democrat criminality, something so serious that David Kahane has dubbed the Democrats, “A criminal organization masquerading as a political party”?
The Boston Herald’s Howie Carr detailed the week’s criminal roundup and noted:
What a crime wave, in less than one week. So guess what most of the networks led with on their newscasts last night? The 5-month-old story of Gov. Chris Christie’s Bridgegate. Because it has one thing going for it that none of these other stories had, the only thing that matters to the corrupt American media.
Christie is a Republican.
If you live in a blue city or state chances are your newspapers didn’t cover much of this either, so feel free to cut and paste this roundup which despite my best efforts probably doesn’t come close to being all-inclusive. Mail it to those of your acquaintances who still don’t get their news online.
In Nancy’s own backyard are three eyebrow raising indictments against Democrat leaders.
Phony, phony, phony, liar, liar, liar. Pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain, nothing to see here, it’s all Republican’s fault.
Interesting to learn about the scandal involving Pacific Hospital in Long Beach.
As a resident in LB for over 30 years I can recall no one recommending Pacific Hospital of Long Beach once they had been there!
The only recommendations came from hospital owners and union employees.
Everyone who ended up there transferred elsewhere to get good treatment or talked about their experiences very negatively.
We specifically moved from one place to another to get away from an automatic trip there by EMT. (They take you to the closest hospital.)
Living closest to that hospital was not the smartest thing to do in an emergency.
