Health Care Passes House
The Woodward Report ^ | November 7, 2009 | Brian Woodward

Posted on 11/07/2009 8:56:16 PM PST by honestabe010

In a historic vote the House Health Care Bill Passed the House of Representatives 220 - 215 with 64 Democrats voting against the measure. However, the true test of whether it can pass the senate still looms. With a test vote losing out 47-53 a few weeks ago over the Baucus Bill, much persuasion must be had in the Senate for a bill to arrive at the President’s desk...

My 12 year old daughters said the kids at their school are talking about healthcare. It’s a private Christian school. At least, the kids know about it.

My 15 year old son was watching some of the debate between the house members.

Next they will take away the net!

I think silencing conservative talk radio is higher on the satanists' agenda.

It's true.

Republican controlled Congress: 1994- 2006
1. NO Government run Health-care Bill passed nor would it pass ever in a Republican controlled House so why again was the GOP so bad again?
2. NO Cap and trade bill passed.
3. No Amnesty for illegals bill passed.
4. No fairness doctrine.
5. No Net Neutrality

Democrat controlled Congress: 2007 - present
1. Government Run Health-care passed the House and will become law.
2. Cap and trade will become law
3. Amnesty for illegals will pass
4.Fairness doctrine will pass
5. Net Neutrality will pass (government will be able to censor the internet)
You say “But but , Gingrich did this and other individual who calls himself a Republican did that so I'm staying home, not donating to the GOP,and I will bash Republicans and so depress voter turnout and support for Republicans all because not every single Republican in the GOP thinks exactly like I do on some issues”.

You say zero tolerance.Well your zero tolerance just got a democrat elected in NY 23. And Rush et al are happy patting themselves on the back for this. Maybe you all don't know politics or understand that the party withe the Majority gets to run the House, elect the speaker of the House and decide what bills get to be voted etc.

So even if you have some RINOS in the GOP , if you still have a majority of congressmen registered as Republicans then Republicans run the House,elect the speaker, and not have bill like this socialist monstrosity of a bill come to a vote on sat night behind the American peoples ‘s back.

Too many people know the words without understanding their meaning. It is near time to show those people what those words actually mean.

It's the fine and/or imprisonment. If I can't afford the $15,000 a year that will be required for insurance, how does the government think it's going to squeeze $250,000 out of me?

Well since we are all socialist now I will say a prayer before bedtime.

“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to the Government my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the Government my soul to take, AMEN.”
