Whoa boy! Here is Congressman Phil Hare from Illinois:
[VIDEO AT SITE]
Questioner: [regarding obamacare] Where in the Constitution?
Congressman Phil Hare: I don't worry about the Constitution to be honest with you
Questioner: Jackpot brother!
Congressman Phil Hare: Oh, you know what I care more about, I care more about the people who are dying everyday who don't have healthcare.
Questioner: You care more about that than the US Constitution?
Congressman Phil Hare: I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Audience Member: That's the Declaration of Independence
Congressman Phil Hare: That doesn't matter to me! Either one....

“That, sir, is treason...”
I wonder We the People might prosecute this...
That is one of the most sickening videos I have ever seen. The backbone of the nation is being broken by ignoramuses.
From the comments:
Regarding Congressman Hares bleeding heart, Thomas Jefferson had made it clear regarding the General Welfare Clause that good intentions on Congresss part are no substitute for basing legislation on enumerated powers.
1. To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare. For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.
It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please.

Holy Moly ... need a drink first to even look ... whew!
All that’s holy to them is the outcome .. period.
Union thug.
I like Bobby Schilling, his challenger.
FRmail ;)
Fascinating.
He has power only because the people respect the document that established his office. But he doesn’t respect the Constitution.
Why should we continue to recognize his right to power if he rejects the document on which it is based?
Reminds me alot of Ernst Röhm.
OMG!
You all gotta see this!!!!
Shivers ...
He’s always had first dibs on the pie....for sure.
See post # 48 !!!!
And the booze, and did you see post # 48?
You must !!!!!
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Sounds like he has forsworn his oath of office and should be ejected.
Talk about campaign ad fodder. This should go viral and I imagine it will.
I hope so! Maybe send the two pics to Bobby Schilling’s campaign! LOL.
Yet another Democrat saving his upcoming opponents the trouble of writing their own ad copy.
Wasn’t that guy a flamer?
Completely pathetic yet unsurprising. I would guess he’s typical of 80% of Democrats.
By the way, Ernst Rohm looks like that “I are serious cat” cat.
