Don’t let up now!!! Do not let up until it is DEAD. Dead dead dead dead dead. Until then, KEEP HITING IT!

I wonder what it will take to get people into the streets. You would think that ‘deeming’ legislation to have passes would do it, but I guess not.

[Trust but Verify]

I heartily agree, but that won’t stop them.

[Trust but Verify]

You are correct.

I’m glad I am not the only one who don’t know what he was trying to say.

Rush made a personal plea to people today and gave out #s to the DC switchboard.What if those who are still registered as rats due to Rush`s “Operation Chaos” and had rat Reps were to call them and, acting as disgruntled rats, demand that they not vote for this bill?They could say that they`ll not only switch parties but volunteer to work for the Repubs during the Nov elections.

.
“Opponents of reform”?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

That’s right, we “health care foes” are against health care.

Do you think there’s a remote chance they even considered titling the article, “Government takeover foes 11 votes shy . . .”???

I would buy an “Opponent of Reform” shirt.

If the rats had the Votes this would be law by now...

This has to be the most poorly written news report I have ever seen...

Want to hear some confusing double speak, if you can find the audio of Hannity’s interview with Jason Altmire today. The meme today from the cowards is, “Waiting to hear from the CBO”, “Waiting to hear from my constituents.” Altimre actually said that, with a straight face. I would have done a Beck at the end of that interview..”People I have wasted your time...”.

[annieokie]

I heard that, and that's exactly what I thought Hannity would say. "I'm sorry I wasted your time"

Excellent catch.

Nonetheless, House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson of Connecticut said Monday after a meeting with rank-and-file Democrats that "the votes are there" to pass the health care bill.

Larson is my Rep. He's a flaming socialist liar. He's fourth in line in the House and Pelosi's yes man. I've been letting him know in no uncertain terms via calls and emails he's traitor to the country and the people will defend the Constitution against him and his fellow socialists.

‘Personally I liked “opponents of reform.”’

RAT press = socialist bigots

An excellent idea. But no one really has to be a registered rat to do it. Lying to members of congress is ok. We will just call it "acting" and become the "artists" that Pelosi encouraged the other day.

[SeattleBruce]

“Big victory for Obama? I don’t think so. He really screwed himself with this one.”

The CNN article says it with such a sing song voice too - like there’s no ramifications to the huge tax increases and takeover of the system, by the inept, incompetent, corrupt RATS...oh no, just ‘Obama’s top domestic priority.’

They live in an alternate universe...I wish they’d stay there.

[SeattleBruce]

“Lying to members of congress is ok. We will just call it “acting” and become the “artists” that Pelosi encouraged the other day.”

First of all - they lie to us from the moment the wake, til the moment they sleep, and then probably in their dreams.

2nd: We can just ‘deem’ it not lying.

Walah!

Honestly - I don’t think we need to lie - but the RATS live in such an Orwellian world - and we have to deal with them, and that.

But they have to vote on the rule which allows them to declare the “Senate bill was deemed to have been passed”. The demoRATs dimwits can spin it all they want, but they and the people know that this is a farce, and that the “rule” change was in fact the House voting on the bill. Every demoRAT who says so differently if a rat bastard pig liar....including the politicians & the demoRAT voters.
