2) they’ve pulled the plug so we can’t get thru

KEEP TRYING!!!

When the house bill passed a few weeks ago there were some on here that said that the senate would never pass the bill. Some took issue with my comments about the fact that the democrats would do what ever it takes to get this bill passed in the senate. It WILL happen. The two houses will reconcile and we ALL will be in a world of hurt like never before.

Why do they have to do this on a Satursday night? They couldn't take care of this today or Monday?

No, they are counting on most of America tuning into the hockey, basketball or college football games, hitting the bars, having parties - in essence, doing what Americans do to forget about work and pretend the country isn't going to H*ll in a handbasket.

I can’t believe Americans would do this to fellow Americans, let alone our own Government. I remember Ted Kennedy saying “YOU DOUBT MY PATRIOTISM” and now I can emphatically state YES! YES, you freakin’ POS!

That is what these dirt bags have been up to behind the scenes these last couple of decades. People of faith and America needs to prepare for a new history. George Washington and Ben Franklin despised this day, but it is up to us now.

We have lost America.

Have all the men and women who have died for this country .. died in vain?

The Eagle of Freedom dines on the flesh of Patriots and needs periodic meals. Those who have died for this country did so to preserve freedom & liberty for their peers and families.

The Eagle is hungry again; this time the enemy is domestic rather than foreign. How can or will the Patriots respond?

Just to clarify.. The vote on Saturday is not to pass this bill. It’s a procedural vote to decide if the bill can go to the next step - which is debate.

Keep the pressure on your senators!

Semper Fi!

The constitution is only 30 pages of printouts, The law of the land.

WTF is with this 2000 page BS.

The founding fathers were so much smarter than any judge or gov. official we have today.

Anyone who votes for this sh!t needs to be baned from politics.

They are NOT voting on the bill. They are voting on whether to proceed formally with floor debate on the bill.

It doesn’t matter what anyone does. If they have the votes they will pass it, no matter what the consequences. Congressional Democrats and the president are willing to go down with the vote if it means their Socialist movement gets to implement the dream they’ve had for 70 years, to control the American people using their healthcare against them.

The Marxist pres_ _ent and his commie cabinet and czars is precisely what the democrat party wanted in order to consolidate power. The democrat party is a Marxist criminal enterprise which discovered long ago that they could not get a majority of we the people to agree to their usurpation of the Republic so they have taken this stealth route using an affirmative action figure for his ‘blackness’ to deceive the public into believing he is anything but the commie he actually is. Reid and Pelosi are going to pass a bill that takes over more than the 1/6 th of the American economy. That lie is the fifth column enemedia’s concession to facts. The reality is much more harsh. Every aspect of life can be misconstrued by lying democrats to relate to healthcare so they can regulate it.

From FrankR on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2390841/posts?page=9

As you all know, the Saturday vote will be only to "debate" the bill, but the ruse is that if it passes, then the "nuclear option" will be put into play and it could pass the final vote with 51 votes instead of 60. This is a ploy devised by reid and pelosi so the borderline blue dogs could claim later that they voted 'against' the bill, thereby saving their hides at election time...but it's all a lie. If they vote "yes" on Saturday, then ARE voting for the bill, because they are throwing it into the nuclear option arena.

So in a way, Saturday is the "final" vote, then the rest is history? . . Damn them!
