"You are not royalty." The huge irony of it is, royalty would be infinitely more polite and respectful than our Overlords are to us. Sheila Jackson Lee just thinks she's royalty, or perhaps a deity.

Every congress-critter is up for reelection every two years. Senior citizens are among the most religious of voters. Health care is obviously one of their most important concerns.

Rank and file dems really have to be worried here. Nancy and a few other bigshots may have safe districts where they are sure they are insulated, but the little guys have to know that voting for this might just kill any chance they have of getting reelected — period.

You left off that this bill will be the biggest jobs killer of all time!

It will redefine how businesses view employees.

The bill allows business to pay a tax on payroll rather than
pay for health insurance directly. The tax is much lower than the cost of the health care! It can be made lower by minimizing the total payroll.
Anything that can be outsourced will be outsourced.
Anything that can be sent off shore will be sent off shore.
Anything that can be automated will be automated.
Anyone that can be turned into a subcontractor will be subcontracted.

Millions and Millions of jobs will be lost!
The concept of ‘employee’ will be changed forever!
Individuals will end up paying the full freight for health care, not just the fraction they pay now.

Others said they see no point because making themselves the focal point of protestors does nothing to advance the debate.

Debate? Debate??!!

This is not a debate, Congressman Weiner! Seniors are shouting you down because their lives are at stake!

How far can they push it? Reminds me of that line from Shane: "If we're gonna have a meetin', it had better come to more than just pokin' holes in the air with your finger!"

They keep pointing to that Bob MacGuffie who has a newsletter read by 5 people, but because he posted to a website 2 or 3 times, they use him as some grand organizer of the right. IT’s the most dishonest thing I’ve seen. What’s funny is you know these reporters are just parroting what they’ve seen in the AP or somewhere. They’ve never spent a nickel of their time to find out who Bob MacGuffie is. Pathetic journalists. But that’s to be expected. After all, when I was at U of I the dumbest students went into the Speech Comm major (included most of the journalism classes). I’m sure it’s the same everywhere. SpeechCom is for the morons (or athletes that are too dumb for kinesiology). Then they come out and think they’re the light of the world. Take a real class. Morons. This new crop are the dumbest group I’ve ever seen in the public view.

I have come to the conclusion that it’s going to get really ugly. The sooner the better. Just sayin’.

They don't know, my FRiend. They don't know, and even if they read about it, they wouldn't care. They are Statists.

Have you read Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny?

How far can they go? I think Tar and Feathers would be a good place to start.

This is so...last year. Dissent with the administration was patriotic...last year. Calling the President and all members of his party nazis was cool...last year.

‘If Someone Thinks They're Going To Legislate By Mob Rule, They Don't Understand What It Means To Be A Democracy’

Pssst...

We ARE NOT a democracy we are a Federal Republic.
(Glad the congressman understands that, NOT)

However,

Mob rule is what the kings and queens in Washington give
and mob rule is what they receive.

I think the line gets drawn where one person thinks their right is to stop another person from asking a question," Rep. Weiner said.

So, why is this suddenly such an issue when leftists have been shouting down their opponents at universities throughout the country for years (and with no criticism from the left)?
