They still think it’s last year when BS and ridiculous promises worked so well.

They aren’t catching on that they are now under more scrutiny than rats in a lab experiment.

Henceforth every miserable medical experience an American is forced to endure will be credited to the Democrats.

It's almost worth it.

Why did the Senate Democrats just vote down another amendment to the Health Care Bill that would have barred PUBLIC FUNDING of aborton. I wonder why?

Clearly the millions that marched on DC has had no effect other than to make them more devious in the intentions to enslave us through unending, unsupportable debt.

It is our liberties they are stealing.

This can not stand!

The sneaky crap these congressional weasels are trying to pull makes me think that 1)they are convinced that the voting public is totally stupid with no attention span or memory or 2)somehow they think the fix is in and elections will be suspended due to some cooked-up “crisis.”

Thinking #2 is mighty paranoid but these people are so ballsy that their actions defy ordinary explanation. I realize many of them are bought and paid for but nevertheless they have to stand for election—assuming there will be elections.

Could the American people have made it any clearer to these scumbags we DON't want it? If they want a revolution on their hands then just go ahead and ignore us.
