Several months ago, somebody asked me what kind of Democrat I would vote into the office of President and generally what can Democrats do for me. The answer was Joe Lieberman and fix me a sandwich. Despite the general unpleasantness of listening to this morning's election results, at least we got rid of that kook Lamont. Now comes the sandwich, seriously.
The Democratic mantra is familiar to me, and while we haven't heard 'there is no crisis' in quite some time, we can probably expect Democrats to do nothing or sabotoge Social Security reform as they writhe in anticipation of a spiteful legislative agenda in the House. Aside from that it's time to call them on there more 'core values', namely health care.
So here's what the Democrats can do for me. Stop talking about perscription drugs and sin taxes and start talking about what that little cretin Morgan Spurlock 'discovered', namely that America is full of big fat people who eat like pigs. This is the greatest threat to the health and welfare of Americans, not the cost of the drug of the day. The biggest threat is obesity, heart disease, diabetes. If Democrats (and I know Democrats) have a hankering to stick it to the Man, the first Man they ought to go after is Ronald McDonald, not Mr Merck, Uncle Jack Daniels or Cousin Philip Morris. It ain't tobacco and alcohol that's killing Americans, and it's not drugs that's going to save Americans.
I am naturally impressed with the ability of McDonalds and KFC to deliver fast food. And although my favorite is Carl's Jr. for a number of reasons, there is something awesome to be said about a company that is everywhere around the country and can get you a complete meal for a buck. The problem, as you and I know is that most fast food is not healthy food. So if the first thing I hear out of Democrat's pie hole is something about Canada or perscription drug benefits, we know they're not serious and quite unable to disentangle their idle minds from the same jungle of lobbyists and PACs who dominate the 'Health Care System'. Both Clintons couldn't do it when they had 8 years and there's really nothing new except for Walmart's market arm-twisting. That will continue.. Oh God.. I'm just thinking what savagery these nuts have in store for Walmart. At any rate, here's the goal. Make McDonalds into Whole Foods, at non-yuppie prices.
The second angle of this of course is exercise. That means kids playing sports like Cowboys & Indians or Cops & Robbers or Patriots & Terrorists or... Football. Democrats like football don't they? Or are we going to have a House under Pelosi that outlaws sports metaphors?
Here's what we know and that everybody should know. It's common sense, and if you don't believe me you can ask Jack LaLanne (yes he's still alive). If you exercise every day, you can eat beef jerky, cake and gin and live to be 100. But if you don't exercise every day diet takes on huge significance. One would expect that limousine liberals would know this, since they now claim to be the voice of the peoples. Let's see if they are serious about dealing with the number one and number two greatest factors, exercise and diet, in dealing with the number one health problem of Americans, heart disease and the other two major preventable illnesses, obesity and obesity driven diabetes.
I think they're just in there for the power grab and try to give Republicans heart attacks, and that's the Democrat health care plan...
