A HOUSE (& SENATE) DIVIDED!

November 22, 2004

Medicare and energy are the latest issues to divide our nation- or should I say our radio-active Congressmen.

Ted Kennedy is fit to be tied. When the House put the Medicare bill up for a vote, and then abandoned the 15 minute voting time, it spelled trouble for Ted. Finally after nearly three hours of arm-bending, and awaking the President to twist some arms, the bill passed by five votes. Ted likened it to Florida 2000: a stolen election.

So, now it’s on to the Senate where Ted threatens a filibuster (otherwise known as stealing the vote) the bill. The acrimony and name-calling is really heating up with about a year to go before the election.

So, as we start the new week, a short one thankfully, the question is can Bush and Co. deliver the goods, or can Kennedy & Clan hold up the works. The energy bill seems destined to have to wait until next year; however, Medicare can’t wait. Bush wants a bill and you know his line: “Medicine has changed but Medicare hasn’t.”

So, the two sides of the political isle get more firmly entrenched in their disdain and hatred for one another. America, a divided nation. I wished I’ve never heard of that Scripture in Matt. 12:25.
