“BEAUTIFUL!!!!!”

[doin’ mah BEST Dennis Miller impersonation] :)

[NotSoModerate]

They’re like hippy fugitives running from the law in a car chase. Their tires are blown, smoke is pouring from the engine, and they’re trying to beat a locomotive barreling down the tracks 100 ft. in front of them.

[OldDeckHand]

There's good news in this, and bad. The good news is that this would signal the end of Nancy Pelosi and the Dem majority. And, their willingness to do this, would be a sign that the Dems actually recognize their own mortality.

The bad is that big, encompassing social programs don't go away once instituted - ever. There will be no un-ringing of this bell. And, it in less than a decade, all insurance would be owned, operated and administered by the Federal government, forever.

[Boiling Pots]

They have said this several times.

I really wonder what the actual whip count is in the Senate. If they have 11 who are against the public option, which is entirely possible, they really are screwed.

[thesearethetimes...]

Heckova thing BUMP.

-- And Obama says "too damn bad". --

Legislation is purely a Congressional prerogative. They may take advice from outside, but Congress owns what Congress passes.

[KansasGirl]

[My dreams have come true.]

More like a nightmare.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We’d gladly pay a king’s ransom to the Democrats to just up and leave Washington now.

[bamahead]

This smells like Reconciliation is afoot.

The Left will happily burn the Constitution to destroy this country.

[meyer]

They're trying every trick in the book. Fight them at every turn. These communist b**turds may or may not do this, but if they do, they will be put out of office one way or another. No amount of fraudulent ACORN votes will be able to undo the will of the people.

Stay on their butts, people. They are a tricky lot, but we've got 'em cornered. They're rattling tin-foil sabres now.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Obama is a gatekeeper. Congress can push legislation past the President, but it’s harder.

[Recovering_Democrat]

"Can someone get this crap off my shoulder?"

[RoadKingSE]

Schumer’s busy sticking pins in his Ted Kennedy voodoo doll because he knows that the exploding er..uh brain tumah will be enough to push this healthcare pile of crap across the finish line.

[Cboldt]

-- So, if they ram this through, they've got to ram Amnesty through to, so as to get those votes to save them. --

Immigration amnesty isn't just about votes. Both parties have a vested interest in growing population in order to obtain tax revenue in order to make entitlement payments.

The GOP is at least as pro-amnesty as the DEM party.

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep!

That is what Drudge is sayin’ too, see my post there...

2010 Elections! ... here we COME !!

[GOPRaleigh]

Cool - it is theirs to own. Remember this in 2010 and 2012.

[Third Person]

He’s the joker...

[Soul Seeker]

Isn’t that what they have already been doing? Fail to see how this is new.

[Artemis Webb]

Give me one example of an entitlement program that has been “virtually amended out of existence”. Just one example.

Take your time.

[Repeal 16-17]

So the Borg... uh, I mean the Democrats are effectively telling everyone that Resistance Is Futile. These arrogant bastards have to be stopped and I don’t care how.
