AP Report ^ | February 02, 2010 | Alan Fram

[Tarpon]

Sitting on the toilet writing another bill are we.

Here I sit on my cold pot...

[gov_bean_ counter]

... trying to do what Obie could not.

[Man50D]

The content is irrelevant. Any federal version is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care. The people are not bound to compound to comply with any unconstitutional act by Congress. This is the point people need to drive home with their Congress critters!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Here I sit, broken-hearted,
Tried to legislate, but ....

[HerrBlucher]

I have no doubt at all they will write a bill that will comprimise out health.

[ronnie raygun]

They really do want to go down in flames don’t they!

Medical Marxism, Version II ???

[samadams2000]

Whomever is keeping the list,,,,please put Rangle in the top 20. Thanks in advance.

[JohnD9207]

When is the report of Rangel going to be released Nancy????

Same old crap....till NOVEMBER!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Give it up ‘RATS! Your “reform” is a bigger hoax and scam than Algore’s “global warming”. Americans are on to your commie games!

[RepublicanMeansAmerican]

If he was a Republican, he would have been run-out-of office months ago. So my reaction is to ask: why is he still there?

[updatedscreenname]

The only thing they can do is come up with some watered down
election year version as a tactic to put the blame on the Republicans as the party of NO. A senate filibuster is what they want at this point so they don’t take the blame from the far left for being too stupid to coordinate a house/senate bill that the dems could have voted in without any gop votes. If they would have kept it simple to build an
initial framework, they could have added on to it later.

They should be working on how to cut taxes, cut government and create real jobs. But they won’t and we’ll see that unemployment and the economy are the real issues for November.

Same thing with requiring that 3rd tail light on autos, seatbelts on drivers and passengers, CAFE standards, everything the EPA, BATFE, OSHA, DEA, NHTSA, etc. does, but it somehow happens anyway

And it being unconstitutional will stop them how? They have no respect for our founding documents. They are Commurats.

All the more reason to reverse the trend and return to the Constitution.

The people will stop them. The socialists have not experienced the uprising that has been occurring since last February. They are starting to fracture and panic.

There is no way these Marxists will pass this thing in an election year but they aren’t just any Marxists.

I really hope they try because they Marxist/Democrats would be irrelevant for years to come.
