G.O.P. Forces New House Vote on Package of Health Bill Changes

Senate Democrats had been hoping to defeat all of the amendments proposed by Republicans and to prevail on parliamentary challenges so that they could approve the measure and send it to President Obama for his signature. But the bill must comply with complex budget reconciliation rules, and Republicans identified some flaws.
Under the reconciliation rules, provisions in the bill must directly affect government spending or revenues.

Anybody hear anything about what the other problem is?Considering the source, the NY Slimes, the MSM is probably trying to keep it hush-hush. It COULD be a "big f@#$%&* deal", who knows?

If we accept the yoke, then we are property. Fight on or your spirit dies.

If we accept the yoke, then we are property. Fight on or your spirit dies.Super's point is that we've been gradually snared under the yoke for 40-50 years of Great Society, New Deal, socialized government education slavery. We didn't just get here with Obama. He merely grabbed the reins.
You're right we should fight on. But don't be confused about how/when we got here.

Oh, I am not confused how we got here and how complicit both the GOP and Democrat Socialists have been in setting the table for Obama; but if we don’t fight on we become furniture in the new house of horrors of Obama’s America.

Please be respectful. Today marks exactly eight months of verifiable sobriety for the Senator.
