I think I finally figured it out.

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

The more I observe the guy, the more I’m convinced that everything he does is driven by a desire for revenge - revenge upon whitey for 200 years of real and imagined injustices against Blacks, for everything from slavery to racism to poverty.

If that is his mindset, then there’s no doubt he would lay waste to the land in order to accomplish his goals.

Rep. Barrasso (R-WY) just told Bill Hemmer that the Reps haven’t been “chosen” yet (oh, how can they sleep at night!) but if asked to attend, he would because he is a doctor.

He’s already a one-term president and he knows it...if he runs again, the states will take measures to insure that he provide qualifications to get on it.

So he puts this out there 3 days before the Republicans meet for his sham lecture? Why they are going, I’ll never know.

Yes, and Obama is already making sure the camera shows him as the wise professor the Republicans as the star struck students!

Slugs and toads occupy the seats at RINO headquarters.

They all need a good dousing of Tea Party wrath.

No doubt McConnell will still meet MAO-bam for his photo-op.

I hope those idiots are smart enough not to lipstick on Obama's pig.

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

Control and Money.

Politics is all about controlling activity, especially economic activity. The US is flat broke. Having total access to everybody's pocketbook, bank accounts, 401K's, assets is the only way politicians can continue their enormous spending and buying of votes of the parasite class with dollars confiscated from productive citizens.

Solution: Force everyone to buy healthcare from the government and then when they get sick, tell them their malady is incurable so just die and quit being a burden.

Could be, but I’d bet more on somebody like Evan Bayh...I think Hillary knows she’s lost her base but who knows, they’re desperate.

Republicans and Democrats know that they can not ride this health care reform vehicle and expect to be reelected or get donations for that matter. Think about it at a strategic level. ....
You may not be up for re election in 2012 but teaming with Obama is looking like the biggest Cluster _ _ _ _ since Jimmy Carter took office. Which means that every picture you had made with obama will be used by your opponent in every fund raising mailer in your district. You will be strapped for cash years before you are up for re-election.
At this point your best option is to get the congress to “re-work” healthcare (read put it on a back burner and hope it just goes away so we can focus on Jobs)
Obama could end up being the best player on our team.

First sentence from McConnell’s mouth on Thursday ought to be:

“This isn’t a plan, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a sentence.”

Just leave out the “to get health insurance we do not want or need...” and go with the “He would destroy America”. Why? Call it Social Justice. Just know that Social Justice seeks to punish the perceived evils of society... Question is, who’s the judge of who’s evil? ...Barrack Hussein Obama, ummm, ummm, ummm...

0bama’s road to his Single Payer Utopia.

He’s already conditioned America to expect a continued/necessary escalation of taxation and government so once he institutionalizes this “Continuous” journey under the banner of Health Care for “the Greater Good” then he has everything he needs to own America.

Which really is what this is ALL about Government controlling our decisions, property, and our lives.

The GOP says this: “The American people do not want a bad bill. This is a bad bill. We will never say ‘yes’ to a bad bill. “

Then they walk out.

End of discussion.

We win, they lose.

McConnell has only one last chance to pull out of this stupid bi-partisan version of 0bamacare. When 0bama’s version does come out today, McConnell can say finally, this is intolerable and withdraw.

Obama and the Dems just lost the senior vote. All the GOP has to do is say ‘raid Social Security’ and this will explode in Obama’s face.
