I don’t like the trigger for a “public option” either, but that’s because I don’t want a “public option” (read: socialized health care) with or without a trigger mechanism.

Nancy McBotox doesn’t want a trigger because that would delay the arrival of socialized health care that she thinks is totally necessary to bring about her dream of a leftist utopia.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday shot down a healthcare compromise that has been viewed as the best chance for getting a bipartisan bill through the Senate.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) rejected the idea of a “trigger” for a public option. That means that the government-run health care plan would be a fallback option, enacted only if other reforms didn’t make healthcare more accessible. …

“I don’t even want to talk about a trigger,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. She said the “attitude” of her fellow Democrats is that “a trigger is an excuse for not doing anything.”

Even delaying socialism is unacceptable to the Wicked Witch of Haight-Ashbury. She wants it now, you racist, red neck, Nazis beholden to capitalism (no contradiction there!). Additionally, she wants a “surtax” implemented to fund the destruction of America as we know it.  So there’s that.

This puts Blue Dogs in an even tighter position. They’re left with the options of either going for the public option, which would ensure their defeat en masse next year, or voting with Republicans against the public option, which would deny them funds from many Democratic sources and possibly lead to their defeat next year.

Blue Dogs are left with choosing either certain death or a quite possible death. I’m sure they’re less thrilled with Nanny McRictus Botox than we are.
