I’ve never been a Daschle fan per se, but he did seem to be a thorn in Bush’s endeavors to seat Federal Judges.

I recently read that Daschle’s wife is starting her own lobbyists company related to transportation. According to the Washington Post, “Linda Hall Daschle, who is a registered lobbyist with the Washington firm of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz. Although she does not have health care industry clients, the company does represent numerous health interests. (Roll Call and The Post are reporting that Linda Daschle is set to leave the firm and open her own shop focusing on transportation in January 2009.”

I guess it’s nice to have a lobbyist in the family.

If anybody knows how Washington works…Obama does. He knows that the nurturing blood of Washington isn’t going to be turned off overnight. I just don’t believe that Obama is powerful enough to intervene in a deep, deep relationship between elected officials, beaureacrat chiefs and a group of corporations (who own these officials and chiefs).

I think Obama’s eyes are just too big for his stomach. He may have bitten off more than he can chew.

The true outrage in the Daschle affair is not what Big Business/Big Lie media is focusing on: that he’s a tax dodger. The outrage — and it proves beyond a scintilla of doubt that “change we can believe in” is no change at all — is that Daschle works for the Sultans of Sickness: the health insurance barons whose $37 billion in annual profit is the main reason for the U.S. health care crisis. More outrageous still, this is the man Obama wants to lead “health care reform,” which tells us two things immediately: (1)– that the primary purpose of any “reform” will be protection of that $37 billion annual ripoff (and everybody but the super-rich be damned); and (2)– there will be no change whatsoever in the Final Solution to the problems of poverty, disability and old age: the unwritten policy of euthanasia by neglect and abandonment that has governed Medicare and Medicaid since the Reagan years.

All through the election we warned them, stay away from the mainstream candidates, both Republican and Democrats serve the same international masters. Perhaps after Obama fails to save them once again they will listen, but I doubt it. We’re doomed to watch it all unfold exactly as we warned, and powerless to do anything about it short of a new Boston Tea Party or some such lawlessness, which would only play into the NWO’s hands and enable them enact martial law.

The Republican/Democrat establishment has no benefit in any kind of really significant change. If you want change find a 3rd party (Libertarian, Liberal, Green, Conservative, Constitution, …) and support it. Only when significant numbers of people stop voting R or D and start voting something else will see real change.

Sadly, we fall for the same foolish production every four years.
