This week, we may be hearing even more about the "nuclear option" as a means of avoiding a filibuster of health "reform" legislation in the Senate. With 1000 pages of legislation, a host of variables may lead you to conclude that what you see is not what you get. In politics, it hasn't always been easy to clear the obfuscation or assign the hypocrisy.
My father dabbled in politics at the local and state level back in the 1950s. After being deceived by what he thought were friendly forces in his home county, his moral compass directed him away from elective office. I wish he'd given the game another try, but he was seldom open to compromise and never one to accept losing graciously. No one likes to lose, but the art of politics seldom leads to winners all around. Someone will be on the outside. And being in or out can surely color one's political posture. When my dad found himself on the outside fifty years ago, exposing the postures wasn't so easy. Today, it's so easy it's downright embarrassing as this Naked Emperor News video shows:
Simply amazing performances. And they are performances. And they can be powerful and persuasive. Caveat emptor
