Time to redouble our efforts.

Every time a politicians sticks their head up in public they need to be asked exactly where the Enumerated Power is in our Constitution in which We the People gave them jurisdiction over health care - or most of the other things they’re now doing.

"I don’t know how this senator sleeps at night."

Probably because he has no soul.

The US Senate. The premier collection of arrogant, self-absorbed, self-righteous thugs in the world.

Let me add to your collection, if I may :)

Just received a three-page printout from worldmag.com that highlights provisions in the 1,017 page healthcare bill. To quote:

..The government will audit your books if you self-insure.

The newly created Commissioner will submit a report to the government that includes "any recommendation the Commissioner deems appropriate to ensure that the law DOES NOT PROVIDE incentives for small and mid-size employers to self-insure." (21.23-23.3)

This is just one of 17 provisions that WORLD has summarized and posted to its website, www.worldmag.com, found under Washington's Prescription, The Editors, Healthcare.

Excellent material for information and hand-out. This is an absolute outrage.

Others: The government will define your "health benefits" ... will ration your care ... will establish and administer a public health insurance program ... will define how doctors manage their time ... will tax employers for not providing healthcare ... will tax individuals unless you are a foreign resident ... will order you to get end-of-life counseling and show proof ... will limit your hospital readmissions by penalizing hospitals ... will restrict coverage of special needs patients ... will not let you sue over coverage limits and costs decisions ... will mandate what physicians make ... will have access to your bank accounts ... will not call the fees it imposes taxes ... will issue you a health ID card ... will enlist or create outreach programs like ACORN to sign-up individuals in government-run plan; will create a new bureaucracy to include phone healthcare. References with page numbers and line items are given each provision.

Loud, shrill voices trying to interrupt town hall meetings until you listen.

Armed insurrection when you don’t!

Oh my, this was addressed to the general public! They want people to rat out their family and friends!

WELCOME TO 1984.

We're sorry about the delay, but Reagan put us back 25 years.

The boys in Vegas must be disappointed in Dingy as their revenues are down because of Dingy and his Muslim God. They’re not good for business.

Pep talk? More like Perp Talk.

Call call and fax then get to the Townhall meetings and get in their faces. Resist!

“In spite of the loud, shrill voices trying to interrupt town hall meetings and just throwing a monkey wrench into everything...”

I wouldn’t call boos “shrill”. They fall in the lower register.

Reid had an approval rating of 34 percent in Nevada as of June 21. His numbers dropped 4 points in one month. ObamaCare could kill him in his 2010 reelection if Republicans can find a decent opponent.

It is starting to work. From Rasmussen - posted an hour ago:

Generic Ballot: Republicans 43%, Democrats 38%

Democratic support is down two points from last week and is just one point above its lowest level measured over the past year. Support for Republican candidates is up one point from last week.

Hope he gets a taste of his re-election chances while he’s home. Is there anyone decent on the horizon? Preferably someone who has paid his taxes and isn’t carrying on with women to whom he is not married.

Reid is confident? I’ll tell you what he can be confident of:....walking straight into the buzz saw of hatred on election day! Damn! I hate these social engineers....You can’t just run the country can you! You f’ing pin heads!

It is STARTING to work. Needs lots of follow-through. And I might point out it is not starting to work because of anything the Republicans, the RNC or the supposed Republican leadership has done. It is starting to work because the people are just FED UP.
