CNN GLOATS: "Historic Vote for Obama" Final Vote 220-215
I spell that last word a bit different.
“May you live in interesting times!”
yeah, well we all want to live in interesting times, but Damn!!!
It does indeed.
F&^$&^$ckin C%*%*&%^nt Pelosi!!
Foisting her shit state on the rest of us!!Ignoring the people!! We are close to revolution!
I’m not watching that crap, anyway. Watching Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” on DVD.
victory for Obama...but a loss for America
That's a very good film.
Chill. This will never get thru the Senate, and all the RATS accomplished was delaying a Dem civil war over abortion.
Our political operatives are giddy that the RATS foolishly climbed out on this ledge.
What is Cao running against...whatever it is I will vote for it...especially if it BBQs well...
Why won’t it get through the Senate?
Time to plan the resistance!
I know how you feel, it’s just not the USA anymore. It’s something very different and very sinister. and it has 12000 nuclear weapons.
With the final cover for everyone provided by National Right to Life.
I'm with you, aloppoct. This is all just so surreal and depressing...
How are you sure that this won't make it through the Senate?
There will be a health care bill regardless. The Dems need one to save face with their base. The only issue is what will be in it. The Senate will have a major say.
Elections are important. They have consequences as we are seeing now.”
Elections don’t work, because our country functions as a Direct Democracy when it is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic. Face it, government only grows. It doesn’t matter who we elect or don’t elect. The size of government, the levels of taxes go up. We are slaves.
We are only "slaves" if we act like ones. Our country does not function like a "Direct Democracy." If it did, our elected leaders would be more responsive to the electorate's will. They are brazenly doing what they want regardless of the people's will. We must hold them accountable at all levels of government. That is possibile in our Republic.

We all act like slaves, we pay 50% of our income to the government, even though we don’t agree with 90% of what they do.
Our government does act like a Direct Democracy, where in the Constitution does it say the government should be providing 90% of what it does? It was voted for by mobs and the Supreme Court allowed it.
This will get through the senate because the dems will do anything they can to get it through even if it bends or breaks the law. This is their last ditch effort. They know that if 2010 it’s over for them and the cause is more important than their jobs. They worship socialism. Health care is a crucial part of the take over. They know that once in place, they can rest and even lose several election seasons. You can’t undo this mess once it starts. It pollutes and corrupts everything it touches.
The last time I looked this is still Texas where I live.
They can stick it where the sun does not shine.
Come here and see how it is accepted.”
The only way you will not be forced to abide by this law is for Texas to leave the union. I hope they have the courage to do just that.
Not for TX breaking, but whatever it takes. And if it did happen it would not simply be TX.
Now. There is still the issue of the Senate vote and the Constitutional Challenge before extreme actions are in order.
If extreme measures are invoked, it will be at State or States level.
