In case you missed it. Here we go again.

Since they are not listening to the people, the next thing will be pushing the cap and trade bill. Obama wants all this done before the 2010 elections. With clauses in the bills that prevent future congresses from changing them, Obama, Reid and Pelosi don't care if they lose some seats. At least they will have the bills they want to build on in the future, even if they become the minority. They will get enough of the RINO’s to go along with them.
I am so sick of these people, I just hope the Republicans have the backbone to fight all these future bills until the elections.

So now we use this in conjunction with the healthcare bill. Let the American people now that if millions of illegals are granted amnesty they will qualify for healthcare which the American taxpayer will be paying for. They will be taking more jobs that Americans are now taking to feed their families. Obama and the rats are going to have one hell of a fight on their hands. We need to go after this administration with everything we’ve got. Drive his numbers into the ground.

Thank goodness the “clauses that prevent future Congresses from changing them” aren’t worth the paper they are printed on. Future Congresses will have the same authority to change them as the current Congress has to enact them.

When enough american citizens have nothing left to lose then there will be a diiferent kind of “change” than the sort the great zero forsaw.

After they pass the the Healthcare abomination bill...they will need votes for reelection....and they know where to get them....
Hope and Change was not limited to the legal population.....they intend to mold the American population into the serfs we should be....
Our nation is on the edge....and the left intends on pushing it over into the abyss....doesn't matter where it ends up....just so long as they keep power...

And we need to get the word out re: their real motives. They don’t care about these people (illegals) they’re trying to ensure their re-election after they turned against the American people with their healthcare.

I wish I was as optimistic as you. If that was the case (”not worth the paper they are printed on”), then that section would be illegal. Until someone challenges it in court and a ruling is made, be very aware of what they are capable of - future congresses will not be able to change the law until it is challenged.
To: bobsunshine
Think about it. Let’s imagine that, next year, the Republicans take over both houses of Congress. (I’m not saying that will happen, I’m just saying, suppose they do.) They pass legislation containing language that reverses the provisions that were “permanent.” Who or what is going to do anything about that? Congress can change any law it wants, and doesn’t have wait for a court challenge to do so. Separation of powers, remember? A current Congress cannot tie the hands of a future Congress.

With clauses in the bills that prevent future congresses from changing them Unlawful and unconstitutional. Unless we get one more Sotomayor on SCOTUS. Then we go to Hitlerville.

In a sad, perverse way, it doesn’t really matter how many illegals are added to the “free” health care bandwagon.
The so called health bill will be the nail in coffin of the teetering economy. If we crash as hard as it is beginning to look like we will, no one is getting squat.
However, these 12 million (more lie 15-18 million) illegals are going to be a lot less constrained by civil niceties when it comes to getting what they need in a collapse than most Americans. Libs without weapons are going to be the first victims.

Yeah, more like 36 million.
“Now we have the White House,” as congress critter Honda said. Hell, two years ago, George W. Bush was president and he was 100% on board with amnesty. Anyone remember his “See you at the signing” comment?
Healthcare takeover, cap ‘n tax, amnesty....looks like the democrats WANT a revolution!

We can retake the House which will give us some leverage.
And add some Senators, so we can filibuster.

"Now, we have the White House," Honda said Tuesday. "And now we have leadership in both houses that want to see it happen."
The same was true the last time around under GW.
