Chapter 649: The Dilemma of the Medical Insurance Bill
"Do you want him to sign? My client can't sign. She can use it if she wants. Why should we go through any legal procedures? Is it possible for us to sue the first couple for such a trivial matter? This is just a well-intentioned and reasonable
Borrowing, no need for these red tape..."
The White House seems to be quite interested in this short film. The team responsible for First Lady Rodham's promotion of health care reform even made a special call to request Ronald's official authorization for Forrest Gump.
Ronald asked his lawyer Lindsay to reject all authorizations that he needed to keep records. Such things that would stain his career could not leave traceable written records. Similarly, the White House also wanted Ronald to recommend
A special effects company remade some special effects. Ronald also asked people to find a TV production company on the pretext that a TV short film did not require a large investment in film production...
In short, the principle is that if you want to "piracy", you can do it yourself, and I will treat it as invisible. But if anything goes wrong, it is your own problem and has nothing to do with me.
Soon, the TV short film "Female Forrest Gump" promoting the health insurance legislation was quickly produced. After it was completed, it was quickly launched on ABC's evening program without anyone saying hello.
…
However, two days later, the short film was immediately removed. Although it was only shown for two nights on ABC, the left-wing TV station that is most pro-Donkey Party, hundreds of long-term supporters of the Donkey Party called the TV station to protest...
Not only that, the House members of the Donkey Party who are busy in the mid-term elections have also begun to call the White House and "request" the White House to quickly remove this video. Because all the voters who have seen it have a blank look on their faces and do not know what she is talking about.
What.
There were only two scenes where Rodham said he was a "deep throat", secretly ate chocolate with Commander William, and asked for McDonald's French fries to go with it, which made those at the campaign headquarters smile knowingly.
Commander-in-Chief William is full of personal charm, and the last part has a sense of humor, which makes ordinary people feel very comfortable. Because Commander-in-Chief likes to eat fast food, he ordered McDonald's many times in the White House, and it became news, which made ordinary people feel the inside.
That person is no different from myself.
But the "deep throat" joke seems very vulgar. It's really hard for the people in the campaign headquarters of the members of the House of Representatives who want to laugh but dare not laugh.
But in the campaign headquarters of the Elephant Party across the street, this is not the case. Many people have a good feeling about the current leader, and some Elephant Party voters even think that he is actually a traditional Southern Donkey Party member. In Richard
Before the German commander went deep into the south, everyone there actually voted for the Donkey Party.
But everyone is really disgusted with the first lady. During the election, this woman chose to stand with her husband in the face of scandals, which made people in the south have a good impression.
But as soon as she entered the White House, the image of those Southern housewives dressed up for TV shows disappeared. It seemed that overnight she became one of those professional women in big cities, and she was one of the most hated types of Southerners... Female
lawyer.
Although the election of members of the House of Representatives is not the same thing as the election of the general leadership, any particularly big news coming out of the White House, whether positive or negative, will have some impact on the election of members of the House of Representatives.
This is the impact of federal-level elections on state and local elections. You can scoff at this kind of thing, but in some places, voters are just like this.
Nowadays, problems have arisen in the House of Representatives elections in districts that have been occupied by the Donkey Party for more than 40 years. The Donkey Party urgently requested the White House to withdraw the video, and the first lady was forced to remove this short film that she was very proud of.
thing.
…
"What does this Commander Jimmy mean when he says mayonnaise?"
A heavyweight election expert came to Ronald's house, Roger Ailes, who is now the host and chief planner of the TV station.
He is now hired as a consultant by several Elephant Party representatives in key districts. He happened to be in California and was going to Palm Springs to meet with Sonny Bono, who is also running for the House of Representatives.
During this period, for the sake of confidentiality, I lived here with Ronald. The so-called key constituency is a constituency where the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party are fiercely competitive. As long as a constituency can be flipped, one entry and one exit will represent a change in two seats in Congress.
Ronald heard Roger Ailes say that the Donkey Party was hit hard by the short film, but he hadn't seen it yet, so he took out the tape and watched it with him.
Because it was only broadcast a few times on ABC in the evening, except for some viewers who happened to record it on videotape, many professional election agencies did not have the videotape of this short film. Because the White House quickly discovered the problem and withdrew the short film from ABC.
, the TV station also does not play it in rebroadcasts.
Soon, this short film became an urban legend. Many people had heard of such a short film in which the First Lady imitated Forrest Gump, but no one had seen it. Only the vulgar "deep throat" joke became more popular.
.
Ronald didn't understand all the jokes in this short film. Fortunately, Roger Ailes is the encyclopedia of American elections. With his help, Ronald understood some boring homophonic jokes.
.
For example, the female Forrest Rodham once "suggested" Commander Jimmy to mention mayonnaise like mayonnaise in a TV speech. As a result, Commander Jimmy misunderstood the meaning and did not say "Mayonnaise" (mayonnaise), but instead said it with a similar pronunciation.
"Malaise" (restlessness, malaise).
Before the 1979 election, President Jimmy mentioned America's lack of morality and the "crisis of confidence." Therefore, many supporters of Ronald Sr. said that Jimmy's speech was negative and "a crisis of confidence."
Malaise” speech.
Since Commander Jimmy never said the word "Malaise" in his speech, this title was only circulated in political circles.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This kind of complex joke that only insiders understand, people like Ronald need someone else to explain it to understand. No wonder the most widely circulated one is the famous one
The ambiguity is "deep throat".
"So, is Sonny Bono's election okay? I donated some money to him." Ronald made a copy of the videotape and gave it to Roger Ailes who wanted to "collect" it, by the way.
Asked about the election future of an old friend he funded. Although Sonny Bono himself was very confident, he still had to ask experts to give a safe answer to this kind of thing.
"He has no problem at all. There is already a considerable Elephant Party base there, especially the ground troops (marketers who go door-to-door to ask for votes) can play a role as long as they have money. In fact, the Elephant Party will win this time, I guess.
Precincts with that number will be flipped."
Roger Ailes stretched out a hand and gestured in front of Ronald.
"Five?" Ronald asked.
"Hahahaha, there are fifty, fifty districts that have been occupied by the Donkey Party since Roosevelt's New Deal, and are known as blue bastions. This time, thanks to the First Lady's "Deep Throat," they will be overthrown.
It's red.
Hahaha, Forrest Gump with a bow, this movie Forrest Gump is really good news for us conservatives!"
"Well, that's an interesting interpretation." Ronald was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that this movie would become an important topic in the mid-term elections. But he wasn't worried, even if the Donkey Party was really defeated.
We also need to hold the First Lady accountable, which has nothing to do with me, the director of the original film, right?
"Hey, you probably don't understand, what does this number represent?" Roger Ailes, who is also Ronald's long-term consultant, reminded Ronald.
"This represents the first time that the Elephant Party has flipped the majority of the House of Representatives since 1954 forty years ago. It also represents the complete completion of the Elephant Party's southern strategy started by Richard."
"oh……"
Ronald still has no intuitive understanding of this change of situation. This is tantamount to a major earthquake in the American political arena. The Elephant Party has long been suppressed by the Donkey Party in the House of Representatives, the source of legislation, resulting in the
If you win the competition, it will be difficult to push forward political reform with all your strength.
If this election can be overturned, it means that Commander-in-Chief William will have to experience what the Commander-in-Chief of the Elephant Party has experienced in the past forty years - how painful it is to be a lame duck Commander-in-Chief, every piece of legislation must be
Fighting in Congress.
Sure enough, without waiting for the election, the commander-in-chief immediately experienced a major defeat in Congress.
Because Mrs. Rodham is too tightly bound to the health care bill, this bill has become a huge burden for those donkey party congressmen. They cannot get rid of it, neither can they agree to it, nor can they oppose it.
This is because, due to the increasingly bad election situation, many members of the House of Representatives are unable to vote in favor of Rodham Care in the House of Representatives, because doing so would be tantamount to committing suicide in the subsequent midterm elections.
However, if they do not vote for their party's legislative bill, which may be the most important in this term, they will face the punishment of the party whip. In the next mid-term elections, they will not receive campaign funds from the Donkey Party National Convention.
You know, since Roosevelt, many southern constituencies have been die-hard Donkey Party supporters and have voted for them for nearly fifty years.
This means that winning in these constituencies is basically not difficult. As long as you can defeat other Donkey Party competitors in the party primaries and qualify, you will be a sure winner in the general election.
But the situation this year is tight, and they need more money to fight the election campaign. Since the legislators in these districts have been winning for 40 or 50 years, their ability to raise funds is generally very poor. If the Democratic National Convention does not provide funding,
, is also facing the situation of stepping down.
These congressmen are faced with a difficult choice. No matter how they vote, once the results of their votes are announced, they will face a difficult battle in their home constituencies.
Gradually, the reluctance of members of the Donkey Party to take a stand on the health care bill reached its peak. In the new legislative agenda of Congress, the health care bill, which was originally vigorous and placed at the most important place for discussion, gradually dropped in the list of importance.
In congressional debates, the number of members of the Donkey Party who are willing to talk about the health care bill has gradually decreased.
Finally, in the House of Representatives, members of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party seemed to have a tacit understanding of this bill. They all "forgot" this bill. In the last session of this Congress, there was only a general debate and it did not enter the House of Representatives.
Procedure for plenary voting.
As for another legislative opening, the Senate. Although the Donkey Party has a numerical advantage, the Donkey Party conservatives in the Senate do not want to make such reforms. They have reached a consensus with the Elephant Party members on health, education, and education in the Senate.
The Labor and Pensions Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee, the two committees that decide whether to send the Senate version of the health care bill to a vote, have not passed the discussion.
In this way, the first lady, who was appointed as the promoter of health care reform as soon as she took office, failed shamefully after two years of vigorous efforts.
There was no chance for the bill to be put to a vote. This was a big defeat, much worse than a vote defeat. The only good thing is that when the president learned that there were not enough supporters for the bill, he decisively stopped the House of Representatives.
Majority Leader Richard Gephardt's idea of forcing a vote prevented the "Rodham Care Act" from officially becoming a record of the vote and the premature end of Rodham's political career.
…
For this election, Ronald provided a lot of financial support to the representatives of his hometown Staten Island and Sonny Bono of Palm Springs. In the 30th District of California, where his Los Angeles mansion is located, he supported
Donkey Party veteran Rep. Henry Weinman Waxman.
In local elections, it is not about the interests of the party, but about which candidate has a greater chance of winning. If you place a bet and show your favor, you can protect your local interests in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On this day, Ronald received good news from the other side of the Pacific. After Mr. Minister’s reaction and report on the situation of Hollywood’s split-account movies, the first split-account movie was introduced
"The Fugitive" finally gained the leadership's attention and made important instructions.
Leaders have instructed that in order to integrate into the international community, we must learn international rules and integrate with international standards. Foreigners are not all good people. The purpose of learning international rules is to use the rules and use them to our advantage to gain more favorable advantages in international trade.
status.
In China, an ancient country, with the leadership's instructions, one can often gain the reputation of justice and make some reforms involving interests.
The head office also issued a notice to study leaders on studying international trade rules. It emphasized that, especially related to intellectual property rights, China's original trade port rarely encountered and failed to deal with it reasonably, which is what we learned this time.
focus.
There are few branch leaders in various branches who can resist such operations. They have changed their ways and supported the theaters below to do a good job in the distribution of "The Fugitive" and learned from the leadership spirit.
"The leader said that he remembers that you are a member of the Foreign Experts Advisory Committee and an old friend who is friendly to China. Could you please provide some materials and personnel to provide training for people in some cultural fields in China?"
The minister came to visit Ronald again and mentioned the leader's ardent hope.
Ronald was very happy to be able to provide training on this kind of thing. It would be a good opportunity to get to know more people and promote the American system in the future distribution system.
In particular, the theater chain's accounting system, supervision system, and the satellite-connected box office statistics system that is also emerging in America.
Ronald patted his chest and said that he must provide money and people, and play a greater role in the friendship between China and the United States.
"By the way, the leader also asked you, are there any new films recently, preferably ones that can win Oscars? He has also seen Hollywood's Oscar-winning films in Xujiahui before."
"Hahaha, I'll send the copy right away, and then find the best dubbing actor..." When Ronald heard this, he was so happy that he simply asked Michelle Cannold, the vice president of the group in charge of distribution, to make a trip.
