The Politics Of The Slave Stimulus Bill

On a vote completely along party lines the Democrats shoved through the “Slavery Stimulus Program.” As this monstrosity goes to the Senate it is sure to garner some RINO (“Republican in Name Only”) votes.

Still, if the House Republicans hold true after this bill is returned from the House Senate committee what will have been successfully accomplished is forcing the Democratic party to take complete ownership of this “Slavery Stimulus Program.” While conceding that there is a long time before the 2010 mid-term elections, this forcing of the Democrats to be completely and uniquely identified with this legislation will give Republicans the opportunity to do in 2010 what they did in 1994 and that is to Nationalize the mid-term elections. Mid-term elections traditionally means losses for the party in power and Republicans will have the added benefit of being able to run against a dismal economy that can be hung around the necks of the Democrats. The Democrats, sed contra, will try to run in 2010 against George W. Bush and the failed Republican economy.

However, keep in mind that we are talking about the Stupid Party here so anything can happen.

Here is a good article that quickly summarizes what is in the “Slavery Stimulus Bill.”

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. Good article in the Spectator. Of course, Obama’s people say that Reagan’s policies are the cause of the current economic crisis. Where do these people come from?
