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 have a Narcissistic communist in the Oval office. His nature is to enslave people by taking freedom and liberty.
Was this confirmed by any other news source?
I vote for a lifetime appointment to Gitmo, that way he'll be with his brethren. Plus he gets to share the same dirt as the Castros - that's a double play.
EXACTLY!!!
This is why control of state legislatures is even more important than gains at the federal level in the 2010 elections. Folks have to look ahead.
Do we really understand the tipping point to start the American Revolution against England? What were those circumstances and how similar are they likely to be in the near future?
What would have to occur before the public became violent, on either side? What right will be the last straw when taken away.
Does anyone know if it is possible for some states to refuse to abide by this monstrosity if it actually becomes law? Sadly, I no longer believe this country can survive with roughly 50 percent of the country wanting to live under a socialist system and the other 50 who do not, or will not. Maybe, it’s time to split off from the leftists and become a nation within a nation that wishes to live under freedom and capitalism. Let the scum on the left have their socialist utopia and see which system thrives while the other becomes a cesspool. I keep reading about another revolution. What does that mean? Obviously, we aren’t going to pick up muskets and storm the Capital. Civil disobedience? Anyone here able or willing to be sent to jail or reeducation camp away from family and job to resist this, to what end? If we can’t or won’t vote these bastards out, really, what else could be done?
I don’t think there was any need to remove your tag line. Showing mettle in the face of fear is really what courage is all about. You don’t have to be fearless to show courage. Aren’t all of our fears a summation of what we want to keep from happening? - at least in those of us willing to do something about it would have courage, while the do nothings might well be called the opposite (cowards).
Yeah. That happens a lot. People forget about the "faith" part. Where there is the force if will, there is an equal and opposing force of will. With faith, there is no force. Therefore, there is no opposing force. The message is delivered.
Have you ever looked all over your house to find something, but couldn't find it anywhere? That was "will". Once you gave up and figured you'd find it sooner or later (faith), it was right in front of your eyes all along?
How about names? Have you ever tried really hard to remember a name, but just couldn't remember it? Then, when you stopped trying, it just popped into your head?
Some people desperately want a child. They try and try, but have no luck. They eventually give up, adopt a child, and presto! The wife gets pregnant. They stopped using their will and released it. Their desire was still out there, but they were blocking it's realization by trying to use will instead of faith.
Faith isn't always that easy, but practice makes perfect.
I’m trying to see if I can find it broken out like that anywhere else.
I think he's more of a megalomaniac communist.
Freddd: “I think people are way behind. I don’t think they plan on ever leaving office, because we will be under dictatorship.”
Salamander: “Dead on.”
I have to disagree. Any dictatorship will be met with armed rebellion. I don’t think the Army could put it down and I don’t think they would go along with a dictatorship. 200,000,000 guns cannot be argued away, nor dictated to.
Yes.
False. A quorum depends on numbers, the GOP isn't numerous enough. None are needed for a quorum.
I worry for my country. I hope blood will not run in the streets if the Senate uses the 51 vote conciliation route. 73% of America is happy with their insurance coverage. The start of Civil War 2? One never knows what spark will light that match.
So right Obama and Democrats are not worried they make illegals citizens and win no matter what we do.
It’s like all of those tea parties, town halls and the march on Washington didn’t happen. They ignore them all.
They waited patiently while we patted our selves on the back when we got an obscure czar or two to resign.
Now they shake us off like a little dust on the tops of their tyrannical shoes as they walk all over our freedoms and our inalienable rights.
How’s that Obama-is-the-best-thing-that-could-happen-for-conservatives thingy going y’all.
So right Obama and Democrats are not worried they make illegals citizens and win no matter what we do.

“Our government is going to take so much of what people have earned, people will go Galt.”
You forget the numbers of idiots that work for some form of government. Just look at every ‘stimulus’ job that is another govt job.
