Democrats Grow Wary as Health Bill Advances

“Obama is all about Obama and trying to rush and bully everyone to do what he wants. This man is not what America is about at all.”

Obama is reading the polls and he sees his numbers slipping quickly. He has to rush this through before the numbers fall through the floor. He absolutely must get this passed before the midterm elections or he will lose the opportunity as he knows the dems will lose one or both houses of congress.

I am not interested in any talk of violent revolution

You nailed it MC!

OMG, don’t mention Kennedy and car keys in the same comment !
On the other hand, maybe you mean it’ll all end up a disaster :)

Unfortunately, we’re all Mary Jo’s in this scenario. =(

Sorry, but "Blue Dogs" are all show - dreamed up as a political strategy only a few election cycles ago. This is just a head fake to make the voters consider keeping that guy with the "D" next to his name in office in 2010, thus keeping their majority in place. After all, he did fight that nasty health care bill, didn't he?

This is a scramble for Democratic credibility as the backlash to their excessive spending rears its ugly head. If we weren't in the middle of an economic mess right now, they'd be slapping each other on the back for passing yet another bill none of them read.

What do both things (9/11 & Obama getting elected) have in common?

Saudi money and wahnahabiism.

To help finance coverage of the uninsured, the House bill would impose a surtax on high-income people and a payroll tax — as much as 8 percent of wages — on employers who do not provide health insurance to workers.

And this appears to be backfiring on them because they seem to have forgotten one important factor - - - there ARE wealthy Democrats and there ARE Democrat employers.
My guess is those folks are now raising h*ll with their congresscritters and senators like we've been doing.

I can't help but think, "Heh".

[Obama is all about Obama and trying to rush and bully everyone to do what he wants. This man is not what America is about at all.]

I really believe Obama has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (I know some people with it). I think this makes Obama incredibly unstable.

We will be in uncharted territory if Healthcare reform fails and Uberbama goes on the warpath. NPDers cannot admit defeat, they always transfer blame to “those evil others”. Trust me, it isn’t pretty.

[Semperfiwife]

Isn’t that what Obama was doing yesterday?? And Biden says “the stimulus is working”!!! Exactly where, we don’t know, but surely not in California.

[Luke21]

They need about twenty Repubs to bail them out and make this crappola bipartisan. Let’s see who they can blackmail.

[Semperfiwife]

Aren’t almost all Congress members in the millionaire club?? Are they exempting themselves from the 50-60 percent taxes?? Why don’t they just work for free instead of giving themselves raises?? We should start a new mantra-—”soak the Congress members”. Tax them to death, let them know what it feels like.

[Luke21]

“The libs are like bratty kids who are always bitching about their parents...”

And then they lock the parents outside, throw their brothers and sisters down the basement stairs, and raze the place.

[Boucheau]

“...many Democrats were apprehensive, nervous and defensive.”

They ought to be—they’re about to destroy human freedom on planet earth.

Sounds overdone, right?

If the hard-left gets this passed it will be the crack in the foundation of American/world freedom that will allow the them to once again crawl out from the shadows and wreak havoc on the human race.

This is a monumental mistake.

America will never be the same again.

Now, why would that make you nervous?

[radu]

Since they're exempting themselves from ObamaCare, it wouldn't surprise me if they're exempting themselves from the taxes too.

They're "special", ya know? They don't have to live like the "little people". (a sarcasm tag shouldn't be necessary here)

[Joe Boucher]

Just remember all you socialist democraps, an election is just around the corner and you ain’t looking too good about now.
Personally I’m hoping a few of you unamerican socialist types get serious ass whoopins before any election.

Love to see Murtha go to a wal Mart and have the greeter just beat the scum down. And a whole lot of others.

[Strutt9]

I think your forgetting the $8.5Billion given to ACORN/SIEU. They have 2yrs to perfect voter fraud... who is going to stop them.. NO one. I would not be surprised if DEMS win back the seats..they are counting on voter fraud inorder to win and they will win. They also have Goebbels media on thier side as well.

They so called Blue Dog Dems do not exist.. they went along with the Commi party in the house & senate.
