AMEN!

[LachlanMinnesota]

I am re-reading Atlas Shrugged for the third time, and many of the dialogues in that book are what I have actually heard from the Dems in real life.

They are books that get better and better the longer the Obama Administration is in office.

Prescient. Prescient.

[Blue Turtle]

I can’t help but wonder...why didn’t we have this ‘national conversation’ at the bill’s beginnings?

[bray]

No, I slept too and got up to see Rand Paul giving a great speech. This is truly historic exposing the corruption of DC.

[workerbee]

Who doubts the unions will get a “deal”?

[pollywog]

definitely can’t get through on the phone to McConnell’s office.... I will leave a scathing email but want to voice my disgust for his lack of patriotism!!
Coward he is!!

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Thank you, just what I was looking for!

Now I will go find the numbers and get busy.

I did ding them on twitter, facebook and email.
Time to call!

[RedMDer]

Great!

[xsmommy]

i just recently read it for the first time and was in awe of on point it is with what is said today! it’s mindboggling.

[don-o]

I believe I started Atlas many years ago and did not finish it. Repeating what I said upthread, I can agree with her belief of what human nature is not. But, the enemy of my enemy’s principles is not necessarily my friend.

[woofie]

There was no time ...we had to get it passed before we could figure out what was in it

[LachlanMinnesota]

I am so sick of the news organizations minimizing this by itemizing the throw away lines instead of his main arguments.

FOX news was trying to minimize it this morning so I turned them off.

Then they have the talking heads on to tell us how this does not work, but they agree with him.

What asshats.

[cuspofcommonsense]

“shouldda happened before passage, but Lalla-Polosi said to read it later...........

[trubolotta]

I can’t help but wonder...why didn’t we have this ‘national conversation’ at the bill’s beginnings?

Because we had to pass it to see what was in it, or so Pelosi declared.

[rurgan]

“The media are the collective enemy of the United States of America...and that INCLUDES Fox. A few Freepers could stand to wake up, as well. Rocks have been turned over; roaches exposed.”

Yes and the media are democrats , part of the democrat party. the media controls what people think and talk about. The media is the most powerful institution in the U.S.

[don-o]

You know this and we know this! And your primary opponent knows this and will make damn sure the voters in KY know this!

Same thing applies to Lamar! in Tennessee

[pollywog]

[winoneforthegipper]

[Hoodat]

What’s happening? Where did my live stream go?

I have followed this Filibuster, on and off, since it started and cannot be more complimentary and grateful to those senators who are participating in opposing Obamacare. They are articulate and very informative of the contents and consequences of the law, rules and regulations applying to the ordinary citizen and the waivers and exclusions for the govt employees which include Obama and all of his tax funded enforcers and court jesters and yes persons.

I believe we are seeing the emergence of a strong, principled, patriotic and energetic leadership for the Republican party. Or, the leaders of a new political party that will listen to the citizens who want America to remain a Republic. This filibuster is about the road to socialism being paved by Obamacare which will be morphed into a single payer, totally govt controlled industry. The freedom of choice which Americans believe to be their birthright is on the communist block and there will be no turning back once Obamacare is fully implemented.

God bless all of those senators who are participating in standing strong for the benefit of the American people. We will not forget your names.
