The Donkeys Weigh The Risks

The Emperor has viewed with interest the struggles of the Order of the Donkey as they wrestle with the Health Care Bill. The liberal base demands universal health care at all costs but the more moderate Donkeys are worried about the long term consequences to their careers as they instinctively know this bill will cause an economic disaster. The Blue Dog guild within the Donkey Order is seizing on various details of the bill to stonewall their vote. However, it is a facade since, as we have seen already, the leaders of Donkey Order are quite willing to grant concessions and later reverse them once they have advanced the bill. The Blue Dogs know this. The bill will eventually pass but the less liberal Donkeys want as much political cover as they can get so when the economy crashes under the weight of this monstrosity they can claim they did their part to stave off the disaster. It won't work though. Anyone who votes for this bill will eventually be punished for doing so. The American people are already opposed to the bill and will be vengeful when the magnitude of this disaster is fully felt. While the Order of the Donkey seems fragmented now, it will be nothing compared to what happens after the effects of this bill are realized.
