I know, and sometimes I get so discouraged; this whole thing is really dragging me down. But I also think that is their plan (remember that the one is “refreshed!”).

It helps to know that I am not alone in this.

It seems that the Senators will be voting on a bill with no content, the content to be filled in later and to include any damned thing Pelosi/Reid/Baucus/Hussein might want, whatever at all strikes their fancy.

This "technique" of voting in a blind bill reminds me of what was done in Nazi Germany in 1933 via the Enabling Act. That law allowed the Chancellor (you know who) to create laws without the necessity of getting the legislature -- the Reichstag -- to vote on them at all. The effect is the same, although less open. Here's a Wikipedia reference:

Enabling Act of 1933

and a once sentence summary:

"The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) was passed by Germany's Reichstag and signed by President Paul von Hindenburg on March 23, 1933. It was the second major step, after the Reichstag Fire Decree, through which Chancellor Adolf Hitler legally obtained plenary powers and established his dictatorship. The Act granted the Cabinet the authority to enact laws without the participation of the Reichstag for four years."

No, you are not alone. This is really affecting me physically and emotionally. I don’t know how I will be able to keep what I have worked for if all of this plus cap and trade takes effect.

I have a solution to this problem:

Step 1. Buy more ammo

Step 2. Repeat step 1.

“Are they really seeking armed revolt?!”

“They” are apparently intending to provoke “us” into firing the first shot.

Hmmm...mandate coverage, but deny it to gun owners? Somebody’s about to cross a line in the sand.

I guess the gun owners will have to be armed when they go to the hospital to demand treatment.

We've had the Enabling Act in force for decades. There's lots of pieces of legislation that leave much of the real law-generating to the regulators.
