You've got to take out the Medicare buy-in. You've got to forget about the public option. You probably have to take out the Class Act, which was a whole new entitlement program that will, in future years, put us further into deficit. And you've got to adopt some of the cost containment provisions that will strengthen cost containment, that all of us favor.Never mind that you argued FOR those exact things during your 2000 run for the vice-presidency, and again in 2006 during your run for renomination to your Senate seat.
Hey Joe: It seems to me that your move to the dark side is now complete, and that the only reason you continue to caucus with the Democrats is so that you can remain chairman of your beloved Homeland Security committee.
Why don't you do us all a favor? Admit that your transformation to becoming a Fascist Republican is now complete, caucus with their lot, and then fuck right off.
