Passing the healthcare proposals before Congress will “hang out to dry” every Democratic incumbent running for reelection this fall, Howard Dean said Thursday.
Dean, a physician by training who’s a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said that Democrats in Congress — and President Barack Obama — would do themselves more harm than good by passing the current healthcare bill.
“The plan, as it comes from the Senate, hangs out every Democrat who’s running for office to dry — including the president, in 2012, because it makes him defend a plan that isn’t in effect essentially yet,” Dean said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press Radio Show.
Dean, who has clashed publicly with the White House over the healthcare proposals favored by the administration, said that by passing the bills under consideration, Democrats would essentially be conceding defeat to Republicans.
“It’s easy to campaign on repealing something if no one knows what the something is,” Dean said. “And fundamentally people don’t understand what the president’s healthcare plan is.”
“And if it passes next week and get’s signed into law the week after, we’re not going to be able to explain it to people over the din of Fox News and the Republicans,” the former Democratic party chairman added.
Comment by American Grand Jury:
This is priceless. The Democrates are imploding right before your eyes. I normally wouldn’t believe a word Howard Dean says but he is right about this, the Democrats are “going to be hung out to dry” in November if they even think about voting for Obamacare.

In the Commocrats last ditch effort to push this dog through for their evil messiah all I can say is the desperate effort to destroy America is at every action
of this illegal communist liar and thief.
A friend of mine said not to use such strong language against O, however Bush Bashers ranted and raved on for 8 solid years.
This is what is wrong in our country. The conservatives have mostly been ladies and gentlemen. However we are in a war for the survival of America with the most vile, evil infidels on the planet.
So don’t be afraid to be a patriot and call them out.
They deserve it, and God does not expect us to be steam rolled, or just lie down and take it.
Stand up and fight without fear. All these desperate cowards/thugs have left is to instill fear to stop us.
We will not be silenced, and we have not yet begun to fight all of the communist infiltrators who are moving at fast pace to destroy America.

You are right, True Patriot…another reason we must all stand together and not split our vote in November. We have no room for a margin of error-the survival of America as we have known it is on the line.

Thanks Bob
Your assessment is correct. These Jackals are in a meltdown right before our eyes.However I see them as a Cat with his back to the wall and they may resort to desperate tactics and create a Reich stag Fire to enable them to declare Martial Law. If they can create a reason to suspend the elections in November , the American People will have no Civil means to preserve Freedom other than Civil War.I will suggest 2 scenarios.
1. Look for a war in the Middle East this Summer between Israel and Iran.
2.Look for a large scale Terrorist attack in a major US city with high casualties ,that the left will pin on the Tea Party Movement.
Either scenario will produce the same outcome on our streets.The big rub is that they have grossly misjudged what a 100 million American Patriots that are armed to the teeth will do in response.May that terrible day never come, but if it does WE THE PEOPLE are prepared for that response.Godspeed.

You know sometimes it takes getting hit right in the face, before the lights come on.
Hospitals across America are in trouble. Reimbursements to Medicare and Medicaid have been, and if Obamacare passes will be reduced even more.Hospitals in areas where the demographics are older may get 75% of their budgets from those reimbursements! That coupled with the unemployed loosing their health care benefits results in fewer hospital admissions (people do not come to the hospital when they get sick). Fewer hospital admissions equates to lost revenue.
Hospitals are being forced to cut employees hours and benefits(paid time off etc.) Some hospitals even forced to reduce staffs and services permanently!
When they make these changes they will send around letters from the CEO or President explaining why the changes have to be made. I read one the other day that changes will continue with Medicare, due to the fact it will be bankrupt in 2015!
Then the lights went on!!! Ding!Ding!Ding!
The real RUSH on this whole Health Care thing is this the government has bankrupted Medicare ( the same government that wants to run your health care) it will be bankrupt by 2015 and they know this. That is just in time for the “babyboomer” generation to place the final nail in the Medicare coffin. There will be millions of Americans without coverage, because they “screwed the pooch” for the last 50 years! They knew this day was going to come, and the piper is at the door. So now what? We have to find a replacement program for Medicare? What could it be? A coverage plan for everyone! So, if they could not manage Medicare which only covered seniors, how do you think they will do with a health care plan that covers everybody?
Now they are caught. They cannot continue to fund Medicare with the increases due to the number of “babyboomers” coming into the system. And, they know now most Americans have figured the shell game out. They are had either way they go. They have backed themselves into a financial corner they cannot get out of! And they have to do something even if it means bankrupting 10 generations down the road. That will be someone else’s problem, they’ll all be dead!

Excellent post my friend. I wonder how all of us will feel when we apply for our Social Security benefits and they tell us there are none? We have had the money taken from our checks for years for both Medicare and SS.It will be a great Ricky Ricardo moment for these criminals.The panic we see on their faces as of late is palpable. As one of Soetoros mentors would say( Obama’s Chickens have come home to ROOST)LOL
Godspeed.

i worked for over 60 years for the Social Security I am not receiving and anybody who has to wait until they are 80 to receive because the disease is stealling from the Soc.Sec. fund should be picked up put in jail and have the key tossed away. This is not welfare, I worked, 25 years at Lockheed, I worked temp jobs, sometimes called out at 3 am to baby sit a baby while the parents were drunk. Maybe the age should be 70, that sounds right, but also some very wealthy people are drawing social security and have many thousands of income before the soc.sec and maybe that might be taken care of, I need mine, if they take mine, I will have to live with my son and daughter-in-law and that would not be good. But we must ask The Lord of the Universe to intervene and teach that illegal disease just what is the right thing to do, cut capital gains tax, cut the death benefits, maybe a vacation for 1 year from payroll taxes, so many taxes, I just wonder how I paid my share years ago. God Bless the Citizens who are trying to get their life back, after the disease catches everybody, we will catch him. God Bless America
