WASHINGTON (AP) - Newly arrived Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts accused President Barack Obama and Democrats on Saturday of a "bitter, destructive and endless" drive to pass health overhaul legislation that Brown warned would be disastrous.

"An entire year has gone to waste," Brown said in the weekly GOP radio and Internet address. "Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and many more jobs are in danger. Even now, the president still hasn't gotten the message.

That’s a pretty good label for it......Barack liked to talk about Conservatives bitterly clinging to Guns and Religion. But he’s bitterly clining to Health Care for more zealously....

The only message this guy will ever get will be the one that removes him out of office.

BTW, Obama’s birth credentials legitimately call into question his constitutional right to be President. When will he be proven to be foreign born or not in a court of law? I believe

Obama is an imposter

who should either cooperate with the investigation of his actual birth and/or be removed.

Wasn’t Obama pretty much a communist throughout his life leading up to the presidency? Why would anyone expect any behavior from him than that which we are seeing?

"Found in: John Adams, The Works of John Adams, vol. 4 (Novanglus, Thoughts on Government, Defence of the Constitution) - NO. III. - paragraph 144

"Obsta principiis, nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts.
PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Re: “Wasn’t Obama pretty much a communist throughout his life leading up to the presidency? Why would anyone expect any behavior from him than that which we are seeing?”

************

Yes, and so was his entire family including white granny and gramps. I, and I’m sure most here on FR, did NOT expect any different behavior from him than what we’ve seen and that’s because we were paying attention long before the election.

The idiot hoards who voted him into office did so because they were a) lifelong Dems who vote for anyone with a ‘D’ in front of their name;
b)progessives/liberals/Marxist/Communist drones;
c) foolish youth who thought he was ‘cool;’ and
d) blacks who would vote for ANY black just because he/she is black!

Dick Morris is part of an umbrella group running ads against Obamacare in “leaning” congressional districts.

I think this is a worthy cause for my money. The grassroots has learned the power of everybody putting a few bucks in the pot. If it helps the League of Voters, etc., run effective ads, I AM THERE.

I don’t think Sen. Brown will be shooting some hoops with the Obummer any time soon. I think Sen. Brown was holding out an olive branch with that idea, but has seen the error of his ways.

But would you really want Biden as president and him appointing Pelosi as vice president?

Obama holds the US economy hostage until the people capitulate on his health care take over.

November my friend, it’s not that far away. Volunteer and contribute to the pro-American anti-Obama counter-offensive.
