And now the House Democrats line up at the instruction of their blind commanders for a final charge into glory as they battle to foist a health care system on a country that neither wants it nor can afford it.

It was amazing the places the fellow turned up.
If we all do our job and make them pay for this vote, it will be generations before they return. And that should be our goal. Conservatism wins hearts and minds and young minds for generations, while those generations attempt to pay the debt these clowns inflicted.
The comment “it is magnificient, but it is not war” was made by a French officer observing the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War.
