Vinnie DeMarco has been a long time, yes ubiquitous, socialist to communist representative of programs that harm businesses and impose the will of a minority on the majority. He, and the Maryland Citizen's Health Initiative, building on the Democrat Party model of gathering small special interest groups to oppose or support a narrow issue, threaten legislators with the wrath of the coalition if their oppressive demands are not met.
Of the tools DeMarco has regularly employed are the red herring and the straw man. Here we have the classic red herring, with a side order of straw man and a newspaper reporter willing to give it undeserved credibility by running with it.
There will not be a President Bush for much more than two weeks when there is a Representative Harris. Oh, my! Perhaps there was a false premise in the DeMarco argument, too. It does get confusing when so much stuff is thrown at the wall at one time. In this case, without Sunpapers reporter Brad Olson, there isn't even a wall.
How about this one: "Vinnie DeMarco and the Maryland Citizen's Health Initiative commend Maryland State Senator Andy Harris for his vote as part the unanimous effort of the Maryland General Assembly and Governor Ehrlich to address the high costs for prescription drugs. It is our fervent hope that the Democrat controlled Congress act to remove the Federal constraints on this effort. We call on Senators Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski to take the leadership on this on behalf of the Maryland General Assembly, the former Governor and the citizens of Maryland."
Oops! Please forgive me for my foolishness. Democrat party operatives like DeMarco praising Republican legislative actions is as unlikely as Rush Limbaugh endorsing a Democrat for the Presidency.
