The original Senate version is already law.. This is a mistake. The GOP should let the Dems FULLY OWN this piece of crap.

A mistake to make Democrats vote for it again? They stayed up all night trying to find a way not to have to vote again. So why is it a mistake to have forced them to go on the record one more time? I would like to see them forced to endorse ObamaCare by a vote every week.

The idea is to get senate Dems to vote against amendments like the one which would have prohibited taxes on those earning less than 250K (Obama campaign promise). These make good political ad material against Dems at election time this year, and probably in 2012 also.

A good thing. The GOP is fighting this every step of the way. They’re forcing the opposition to vote for it multiple times. While it probably won’t result in a change in outcome, it does force the opposition to buy off on it again and again and again. It also seals the impression in people’s minds that the GOP are the ones fighting this.

I heard about three amendments yesterday.

1. No convicted child molester or rapist can get erectile dysfunction medication with gov’t money.
2. All congressmen have to sign up for the health care plan.
3. All earmarks like Gator-aid and the Cornhusker kickback are removed from the bill.

Pretty good. Dems have to vote for the amendment which cause another vote in the house or they have to vote against something like #1 which would play great in 30 second sound bites.

The Bill is already law so if the Senate wants to scrap reconciliation then they have all they wanted in the first place.

“This is a mistake. The GOP should let the Dems FULLY OWN this piece of crap.”

I disagree, 2/3 of Americans want the GOP to fight this crap sandwich. [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2479246/posts] They are going to muck it up anyway possible.

I think this plays directly into electoral victory in November.

“Time to accept the yoke of marxist slavery...We earned it by four decades of dithering inaction and useless talking.”

Disagree with the first phrase. I think you’re being cynical/sarcastic to prove a point? Agree that we’ve had 40 years of dithering...

LET’S ROLL!

Plus it keeps the rats busy with this bill and prevents them from taking over other parts of our country.

There are two campaigns:

1. Elect the GOP
2. Get the GOP to be conservative.

There is no guarantee of success in either campaign, so we must work very, very hard. Harder than before.

I see your point but this means that the “fixes” either fail because they can’t get it together and the House ‘Rats feel betrayed or they succeed and we have to watch those idiots take responsibility for this mess AGAIN!

I think Zero is also ripe, ripe, ripe for criticism because instead of “focusing like a laser on jobs” as he pledged, he’s off on a campaign tour to try to “sell” this steaming pile of poo.

All of which can be exploited, big time!

A bit more indepth.

Elect ONLY Conservative members of the GOP to the Senate. No RINO Senators can be tolerated.

https://senateconservatives.com/support

Elect Majority Conservative GOP to the House where we will be forced to take in moderate Republicans (RINO’s) keep the majority of the House Conservative.
