House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 -- the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August -- has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.
Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate -- just 51 votes -- and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year. (see link for more....)

“We do not have a government running our nation. We have an Obama Junta.”
That’s a fact.
I do - keep your powder dry. You're going to need it soon.
Anyone have any idea how this can be repealed in 2010? Will it be too late? What will it take?
“We’d better not put all our eggs in the Nov 2010 basket. It may be too late by then.”
I’m afraid you may be right about that.
Bush 41's arms import Executive order, and X42's as well, would have been despicably easy for Bush 43 to have repealed... And yet... There is sits.
Not just legislative measures or Executive orders, but judicial asshattery as well. Roe v Wade? Kelo? McCain-Feingold?
We need a full-on reset of our Republic. The Constitution was wonderfully written and has only reached it's sorry state via pernicious incrementalism.
I say we dust off a set of revised Articles of Confederation, weld on a Bill of Rights with some real teeth in it, and give that a try for the next 240 years...
“Add that to the fact the leftists and their cult followers hate us and we hate them. That hate has eventually got to erupt.”
The country is far too polarized for any reconciliation. It is going to get ugly.
Bullets have been moving off shelves so fast they cant make them fast enough to stock the shelves.
The American people are planning for a fight.

The people there are going to be the like-minded ones in your community. You'll have a chance to make local connections.
The motto of the democrats.
I think people are way behind. I don’t think they plan on ever leaving office, because we will be under dictatorship.

Hence, the boom in gun sales.
Let it come to a head. The sooner the better.
A tourniquet needs to be applied to this government before their gangrenous marxism irreparably poisons the entire country.
It’s better to die on one’s feet than live on one’s knees.
The Bush tax cuts had a 10 year expiration because they used budget reconciliation. Will the same apply here because they use the same tactic?
What’s your take on this? I think it’s about something yet to be done, and not something that has been done.
If the Senate doesn’t go along, then a filibuster will kill this.
The current healthcare system has me paying for the emergency-room/indigent patients through hospitals dividing their costs among all payers in their billings. Doctors do the same. In short, you’re either covered or those who are covered pay for you, in reality.
Using 25 million as the number of uncovered, and that is about 1/12th of the nation, then that means that our medical bills are over by about 1/12th for “charitable care”.
We are already paying it. What’s wrong with that? Nothing that I can see. In fact, one would expect those without coverage to be reluctant to use “charitable care”.
The real savings in medical care then would come in ending defensive medicine which forces doctors to order 2-3 tests or medicines instead of just one that would do the job.
We have a Kenyan Marxist Thug in the oval office.
The constitution is dead.
We all know its true. Its sickening.
The side of liberty, individual Rights, and justice must win. Let the scars of the current socialist infestation be a reminder going forward for what happens when we get lax in our duties to fight them tooth and nail.
And yes, "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." /Thomas Paine.
Why is Soros still alive?
“Bullets have been moving off shelves so fast they cant make them fast enough to stock the shelves. The American people are planning for a fight.”
Yup.
This is about raw power, sidestepping the constitution to create a new national right without going through the amendment process.
They don't give a crap how much it costs, as evidenced by the trillions of debt this will cause. They don't care that this will be the straw that breaks the dollars back.
Yes, it’s Connie Hair..AND she’s NOT a former Freeper. CAL’s still with us..
When all is said and done, I want to see that Marixst thug exiled to Kenya, never to step on US soil again.
