It's Not ॐ (Om)

I heard the quote first thing this morning, POTUS saying something to the effect that if we don't pass health care, the U.S. (economy) will go bankrupt. Only half of this statement is true. And, passing health care will only accelerate the process.

It also points to the fact that the Dems have now totally given up on trying to be creative. They've resorted to the using Republican mantras, asking, “It works for them; why can’t it work for us? The constant threat of bankrupting ourselves seems to be something the voters are responding to. Let's exploit it with equal passion. Let's get the media to repeat it endlessly: bankruptcy; devastation; joblessness; sickness and death; that is, if we don't get what we want. Scare the bjesus out of them just the way Republicans are doing it, getting a herd to turn by the crack of the whip; clearing the premises with shouts of Fire!; predicting no less than the end of the species if the hall lights should inadvertently be left on at night.”

When I was a kid, the likelihood of a formal spanking sufficed to curb my errant appetites. Tell me again that the Left isn’t overreaching by promising Armageddon. All the noise from both sides is now merging onto one dystopian chord - and it’s not ॐ (Om). Pass the Quietus please.
