POLITICO Breaking News: -----------------------------------------------------
Sen. Tom Harkin tells POLITICO that Senate Democratic leaders have decided to go the reconciliation route for health care reform. The House, he said, will first pass the Senate bill after Senate leaders demonstrate that they have the votes to pass reconciliation in the Senate.
Are we ready for the complete collapse of America as we know it due to the deliberate actions of the communist left?
Do we have a choice? I’m open to suggestions.
You are assuming that those useless jack-holes have the spine to do this. They have caved at every opportunity, why stop now?
My bags are already packed. Ready when y'all are...
Nobody, not even the DIMocRATS could be that naive, stupid or unintentionally dense. I think it’s pretty obvious that this entire destruction of America has been and is being done deliberately. They were even nice enough to spell it all out for us over the past half-century.
Out of the ugly mouth of Maxine Waters, caught on tape (ooops), came the equally ugly truth of what they are attempting. The cabal of commies, radicals and Muslim defemders that Zero has surrounded himself with speaks for itself, even without knowing his own bio or history.
The DemocRats in charge of ruining America have already violated their vow to uphold the constitution many times over. They have clearly defined their intent to socialize and take over every aspect of Americans’ lives, not just take over the healthcare issue. What the hell ARE we waiting for? An ingraved invitation from Zero himself to help him further implement his plan? It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. Sooner or later they WILL come after us (all dissenters), whether it be via the UN or by way of his “civilian force”.
Look to the words of Bill Ayers, Zero’s good buddy, for the answer as to what their plan will be. Twenty-five million American deaths is nothing to these radical Marxist thugs. Hell, they’ll probably try to one-up Stalin on his record.....just for the sake of their ego.
My question again is still.....
what “other” choice do we have?
thanks.
So far, it looks like the Patrick Henry route is about all we have left that we haven't tried before.
I agree. Personally, I’d like to see Bohner out of a leadership position. It’s not politics as usual, the game has changed.
Read elsewhere that Senators can require amendments to be read...and Bob Dole set the precedent of attaching an amendment that included the entire U.S. Code. Of course, with Harry Reid presiding over the Senate, the rules on reading amendments will probably be trashed too. Time for the tar and feathers.
Imagine the founders... that risked everything, lost everything, fought tyrany and died to preserve freedom for us. Imagine what they must be thinking as we sit around and watch the destruction and resultant takeover of America by anti-American leftists (commies). I imagine they’re thinking what apathetic, wussified dumb@sses we all are for letting it get to this point in the first place. And once again and as usual...they’d be right.
We in the South fought the bloodiest, most vicious war in the history of the world over economics and a forced change of lifestyle due to the abolition of slavery. It destroyed the wealth of most southerners and would have even without having fought that war. A war that scared the bejesus out of the rest of the world and showed them what violence Americans are capable of.
If Zero and Co. accomplish their goal, we will be worse off than a third-world country. Why? Because we are racially divided now more than ever and I don’t see that changing back (now). We are suspicious of anyone with a dark skin that might be a terrorist or a Zero/commie supporter. At least the third world countries don’t have that going against them, since they’re mostly all dark skinned already. Racial differences and distrust will make life get even uglier than it would have before Zero. Reverse discrimination has been going on for over a decade re: job quota filling and now with job layoffs. It will only get worse under this administration.
Bottom line, our American lifestyle will forever change for the worst (not worse) if we sit by and do nothing. We won’t recognize this country three years from now and if you’re a white non-leftist, you’ll probably be jobless and probably homeless, as well. Unless, of course, you switch sides and get “lucky enough” to be one of the commie elite. For myself....
I’d rather fight than switch.
That doesn't make sense. The senate bill could go into bicameral conference committee and add changes after the reconciliation bill passed in the senate. In that case, parts of the reconciliation bill could refer to nonexistent parts of the conference bill. How in the hell can a parliamentarian rule on changes if he is not sure what the original bill has in it?
Maybe this will spawn a new legal specialty: "Reconciliation interpretation."
You won't be alone. I don't give a fig what color a person is. Freedom is color blind, but the price always seems to be red.
I would rather that than capitulation, and becoming a serf.
With all resistance/insurrections someone has to start the action. IMO, that will be the key. Will anyone be willing to take the chance of going down alone if no one rises up with them?
“Disagree. Four years of taxes, no benefits. That’s the time we repeal and refund the collected taxes.”
I am so down on the way that this country is currently being hijacked that I will consider NOT paying the taxes if it goes into effect.
“15% One time retirement tax”
This was the pride of hillary clinton when she was running her mouth every day.
Now we have to worry about the drunk -resident living in government housing @ the WH.
I will not submit!
If they get this through now.. they will use the media for the next several months to claim victory on healthcare and calm the public.
By November, no one will be anywhere near as mad as they are right now.
