You can say that again. 2010 will be a bloodbath.
This is to be filed under “no Duh”. This was the Dem back-up plan all along.
Nelson (D- Ne )will never go along with this, unless he wants to be toast.
Another reason why any bill passed anywhere in the country needs to be a ONE ITEM bill.
There is far too much ‘piggy-backing’ going on everywhere, especially in Washington.
It is downright fraud, IMO.
This Communist Camel wants to get nis nose under the tent knowing after that ‘revisions’ can be attached as riders on all sorts on really necessary legislation. Its an old, old D.C. tactic perfected by the Libs.
The game is over by 2010.
Spot on the money!
“The game is over by 2010.”
Not unless we man every voting site, and count each ballot.
If politicians don't listen to the American People, it doesn't matter to the Republic that the Congress gets turned over in 2010. The damage will be done and irreversible unless THIS Congress can be induced to repeal in the first couple of months after passage. By November 2010 the bureaucracy will be, in large part, in place- even if they don't really have anything to do for a couple of years- and no Congress, not even a Conservative Republican Congress will dis-employ all those bureaucrats.
Inertia is about to triumph yet again. As the Republicans learned between 2000 and 2006, controlling Congress and the White House doesn't mean you can do much. It is much easier to play defense than offense in Washington.
It will simply not matter even a little who is in Congress in December 2010 if any form of this thing is passed and signed. It is irreversible and ends the Free Economy and, eventually (not long), the Republic.
STEP THREE: Senator Reid will then move to proceed to H.R. 1586, a bill to impose a tax on bonuses received by certain TARP recipients. This bill was the bill passed by the House in the wake of the AIG bonus controversy and is currently sitting on the Senate Legislative Calendar. Reid will move to proceed, and he will need 60 votes to act on this bill.
That may be the saving grace. Hopefully even the RINOS will see what a slimy, sleazy process this is.
2010 is a long way off. We need to keep pounding out the message. But it needs to be refreshed now and again so as not to become boring and repetitive. People are getting motivated. We need to keep that motivation in high gear for a year. A daunting task.
IIRC, something like this process was used to pass the initial bailout bill? Didn’t the Senate gut a bill on the agenda and sub in the text of the bailout bill for the vote? My concern at the time was the Constitution calls for money bills to originate in the House, and this one started in the Senate; but the process circumvented the House origination requirement, I think. I’ll have to do some more checking...
Once govt gets control of medical care, all the defining, controlling features of socialist govt can be introduced, one by one.
We ain't seen nuttin' yet. Obama’s got BIG plans, much much BIGGER PLANS for us.
Say goodbye to the US way of life.
Is it truly irreversible? I nkow that it is practically so, but is it literally so?
“Another reason why any bill passed anywhere in the country needs to be a ONE ITEM bill.

Absolutely right!
He doesent need any RINOS for this. All our hopes rest on Nelson and Landrieu and a handfull of cautious Democraps in conservative States. A thin reed, indeed.
Who else...?
Time to get in touch with these folks.
