It’s the lying by the democrats and the dishonest, in-the-tank news media that has allowed this all to happen.

The actual costs have been proved by Paul Ryan and others, and even the CBO has said it can’t stand by the assumptions it has been given.

The news media should be obligated to level with the citizenry, but they’re in-the-tank radical leftists.

I’m sick beyond sick, Dinah Lord. I’ve never felt quite this helpless but I’m hanging onto hope and I continue to pray for patriots to step forward. Against the odds, I know.

If they thought people were apathetic, the vote would've been a done deal.

They know that the vast majoirty of Americans will make them pay if they enact this.

I suspect that the holdouts are trying to convince themselves there's a way of avoiding the payback.

There isn't.

And if they vote for this, they will find that out the hard way.

Did you happen to see where they actually voted on the rules for today’s debate? (Man, after watching 6+ hours of testimony I had to take a nap! When I returned they had moved on to the amendments.)

Oops - looks like the show is getting ready to start. Marcia Blackburn just walked into the chamber.

Gotta go grab some more coffee.

The problem with repel is the Presidential veto. So forget about repeal until the Repbs take the WH again, unless some one can sneak provisions into a bill Hussein can’t veto.

As much as I was holding out hope, it really is no surprise that the POS Stupak caved in the end.....

O Master, let me walk with Thee

O Master, let me walk with Thee,
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

O Master, let me walk with Thee,
Before the taunting Pharisee;
Help me to bear the sting of spite,
The hate of men who hide Thy light.

The sore distrust of souls sincere
Who cannot read Thy judgments clear,
The dullness of the multitude,
Who dimly guess that Thou art good.

Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer, company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.

There really wasn’t any doubt.... this was going to pass - they have always had the votes. Now as Mike Church would say, “They are gonna pass this... the question is: What are YOU going to do about it????”

Oh, don’t EVEN get me started on that low down, scurvy lying scumbag Media! They’re role in this is unconscionable!

But you’re right - we can’t get discouraged. This is far from over.

Oh god - there’s la pelosi in her purple SEIU suit!

If anyone wants to read the text of the executive order being presented to the Stupak group,

My head starts to spin when I think that zero is going to write an EO that will overrule the laws passed by Congress - and those laws are probably UNCONSTITUTIONAL to start with and jammed down our throats by changing the use of wrteconcilliation rules.

I knew he would cave.

He always has.

He was looking for an excuse and he got it, but he’s not fooling God.

“Then when the bill passes intact, the sleepers scream bloody murder - too late... and then go back to sleep.”

It’s that last phrase that needs to change!
