I agree, do we also have that resolve??

IMO, we have the resolve, but we don't have either candidates to replace the sitting Congress, nor do we have someone to lead us into the overthrow.

Kind of like the principle of people paying taxes are't subsidizing those who don't, but who still expect government handouts.

It doesn’t matter what he says. He is such a liar.

I still say Obamacare is D.O.A. in the Senate. Those clowns wanna keep their jobs.

Think again. There are 41 Dem Senate seats that are not up for election in 2010. Of the remainder that are, eleven are considered 'safe'. That's 52 seats - two more than they need to get this passed.

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. They will do everything in their power to get this passed. It will take 51 Senators of conviction to keep it from passing; and as it stands now, there are far less than 51. And don't even think about a filibuster. That rule will be done away with by those same 50 Senators.

Who needs a 401K?
for retirement - just don't buy insurance.
They will house you in a very low-security “prison” with all of the amenities.

“principle is simply that people who are paying for their health insurance aren’t subsidizing folks who simply choose not to until they get sick and then suddenly they expect free health insurance.”

But Barry-that’s exactly what you’ve been promising them! Doesn’t he understand what ‘pre-existing condition’ means?

“The perverse thing is that most who would gladly face jail over the issue won’t because we’ll already have “acceptable” health insurance.”

So true. I am contemplating how to effect appropriate civil disobedience in this matter. Rest assured, I’ll think of something.

Whether the “government option” is in or out and “abortion payments” is in or out...Obamacare won't pass.

The Left won't vote for the bill unless “abortion & gov’t option” are in the bill and the GOP & conservative/pro-life senators of the Democrat party won't vote for it if either plan is.

You can “count noses” til the cows come home but Reid doesn't have the votes...if he did; he would have already had a vote on a Senate bill.

Are they going to have cops go door to door serving warrants for not having insurance? That’ll be real popular.

It would be even less popular with the cops, because most of them would have a life expectency approaching zero, if they did this.

Hitler made sure he got almost all the guns out of the hands of private citizens, before he started this kind of crap. It doesn't work so well when each victim can take out a Brownshirt or two, before being killed. This is a way to run out of Brownshirts in a hurry.

Their bill creates this incentive. Kill the bill; problem solved.

That is the bottom line and the reason socialism and communism has always and will always fail no matter who is in charge or how it is tweaked. Marxism is a failure because its basic premise refuses to recognize the realities of human nature. It is a philosophy that can't be fixed.
