“No doubt McConnell will still meet MAO-bam for his photo-op. Good grief - the RINO’s will lose this opportunity. Again.”

I don’t know Mitch was REALLY set against the ObamaCare bill-ramming expedition and Obama’s energy (TAX) bill too when he was interviewed by a REALLY RUDE Mike Wallace on FOX News’ Sunday talk show yesterday.

**Obama is a Republican Mole, and he was put there to destroy the Democrat Party for the next 100 years.

—Nice strategery, there, Laz ;)

Right, this would be about as smart as a problem gambler going to Vegas with his mortgage money hoping to pay off his house. I wouldn’t recommend throwing dice with our kids’ and grandkids’ future. (I know you were kidding...)

“that’s not a health care bill. it’s a bed time story. the only thing it’s missing is “and they all lived happily ever after”.”

Where’s the dragon? Oh, there are plenty of RATS in the story...

“He would destroy America to get health insurance we do not want or need. Why?”

He’s doing it because his goal is to destroy America, plain and simple.

Mission almost accomplished.

Orders 'Comprehensive Database' On Health Claims...

Which will eventually lead to every American being forced to get a computer chip to control it all. Imagine the power Washington (self serving politicians) could have over us then.

Glen Beck mentioned some kind of data base farm already being built in Virginia? I only caught part of it.

By putting the money into the SSTF, we are actually increasing the debt.

It's like funding your retirement account using your credit card.

(MUST READ ALERT)The communist goals 1963
Congressional Record ^ | Thursday, January 10, 1963 | Albert Herlong

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/965016/posts

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike..

The arrogance of the WH is disgusting. Didn’t they learn from the elections in NJ, VA and MA? The majority of voters in MA who voted for Scott Brown cited healthcare reform as a major reason for voting for him.

I don’t believe they will have the votes in the House for a simple majority. They only got the House version through before by a total of 3 votes. Something like 37 or 38 Dems opposed the original bill. John Murtha has since died and there was a Rep. who has resigned. I also don’t think that Rep. Cao (R) from La. will vote for it given the conditions he voted for the original House bill. Any of the Dems who voted against this who might consider voting for something new now would be committing political suicide, not that most who vote for it are also in that same boat.

If they push through a “watered-down” version of the reforms suggested in this proposal on the WH website, the Dems will collectively be committing political suicide. Against the will of the people with barely 30% support for this government takeover of about one-sixth of the US economy is bad politics no matter how you look at it.

And they thing the Tea Party folks have been angry and committed, just wait for what might happen if they shove this crap down the throats of the American people.

Kennedy got private health care. Even with a serious brain tumor, it prolonged his life months if not years.

Murtha got government health care for a simple operation. He's dead.

Getting there, we’re going to be hearing talk of a Constituent Assembly around the same time that the Republicans take over Congress. :)

“Congress is hopelessly broken, and America needs a new beginning.”

Tom Friedman approves!

*not serious, but the fact that this comes across as a lot less unlikely than it used to scares the hell out of me.
