I have to give it to the Dems. They were able to round up 220 corrupt sacks of crap that lied their way into passing legislation that would trample on the liberty and freedom so many of our ancestors died for.
Not this time. It’s not going to happen. Mark my words. They never got this close. There is a coup in progress and they didn’t get this close to lose in the end. They will do whatever it takes. They will win.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. I’m tired of these fatalistic jackasses on this thread. I’m not making light of this bill passing, but the fact is, the way the House is set up, the majority can ram through just about anything they want....change rules, etc.
The senate that may or may not be passed will not resemble the House version. If, and that’s a big if, the senate passes a bill, it will have to be reconciled with the House version, and then BOTH houses will have to pass it all over again with the changes made. That is a long ways away, and THAT is the vote we really need to watch.
In the end, yeah, tonight sucks.....but we are several steps away from this coming to fruition.
But I still maintain this is DOA in the senate. As for the others who are crying about reconciliation, all reconcialiation bills sunset (I think in 5 years) and there is unlimited debate and amendment allowed int he process. Let them try reconciliation and see that NOTHING else happens in the senate...it would be a gigantically stupid thing for Reid to try, and he knows it. Reconciliation is a nonstarter.
Jesus wasn’t a pacifist, btw. Some things are worth fighting for.
The Senate is not a safe bet to stop this POS.
Why would any business-owner hire ANYONE after tonight?
Prediction: The U-6 will hit 20% by year’s end.
what i’d like to know about cao is — if he’s such a fan of communism, why didn’t he just stay in vietnam?
Outstanding reply!
Amen (huge George fan here, and RevWar buff).
I wish it’d never come to that, but I’ve always been afraid it would. Especially since the 2000 election.
Keep telling yourself that. Live in your little fantasy world.
Thank you for posting that.
My Dem rep in NY20 (Murphy) which borders on NY23 (Hoffman actually resides in NY20) was a “No”.

I believe that's been their game plan all along.
Then comes 2010.
Thumbs up. Might as well cremate the dead.
You took the words I have been yelling since this POS passed. I will NEVER stop fighting tyranny. Drastic times call for drastic measures. We all knew they were going to do this, we have protested and they do not care. It is time for increased intensity in our approach. We all need to think rationally and form a strategic plan to defeat this administration. A lot of us have military experience...we need to start our planning and prep. Someone please remind me of the planning order, is it WARNO, OPLAN, OPORD? We need to get this done.
My liberty never dies. If it does here, you move elsewhere. I will follow liberty, I will never live with a jackboot on my throat.
