Don’t expect to be “stimulated” anytime soon. Screwed maybe but not “stimulated.”

Why do we even attempt to contact our legislators when they could care less what their constituents want? They are so much smarter that those that voted them in!

Just line up folks to kiss the ring.

This reminds me of the job website that has the monkeys in the commercial celebrating, when the lone human comes in and says: “Guys .. sales aren’t up .. they’re actually down (turning the upside down sales chart right side up)”

Now .. we’ll watch as interest rates soar to 20%, unemployment increases to 10%, and a loaf of bread costs $10.00.

Woo hoo! Marxism!

Ramming more socialist garbage down our throats before enough people wise up to the reality...

Why do I have to live in a country with so many irreconcilable MORONS?

If the parties and idealogy was reversed, the MSM headlines/stories would all read:

On a party-line vote, Republicans today rammed through........

If Specter needs any Chemo within the next few years, will he qualify for treatment?
Not according to this bill.

Passed big, 61-37. So not one Dem has any sense, or guts, and three RINOs are, as we knew, tools.

You know, I’m just thinking ahead here. Phoning, faxing an e-mailing is not going to work this time, because Zero is going to continue his strong arm approach until we are left with nothing. What other recourse do we have? What do we have left to do to send a MUCH stronger message to Congress and the White House?

I am so pissed. My husband was considering retiring next year, but with this, he will not be able to because of the healthcare issues.

BTW, I’m reminded that the Sherman Antitrust Act, a terrible piece of legislation, passed 99-1.
