Yeah, I keep thinking, all these Democrat reps from districts which are not inner-city, or tree-hugging coastal areas, there’s no way they can vote for this thing. But it looks like they will.

I doubt we’ll stop this in the Senate. Who’s going to stop it? Arlen Specter? Olympia Snowe?

>>Bachmann is hot. She’s right that it is tyranny vs liberty.<<

She impressed me, but the socialists won;t like what she said.

Thanks. I needed a laugh this afternoon. Those nostrils need their own zip code.

i think they know that everyone will wake up and see the emperor has no clothes - that is why they are shoving it all through in the dark of night as FAST as they can - obamacare, crap and trade, immigration reform/stimulus - its all an emergency and if we don't pass something, we are all doomed

Didn't Bernanke just say something to the effect that if they take any power away from the Fed, the entire economy will collapse?

I'm so sick of these people threatening us with end-of-the-world scenarios. Throw them all out!

the authors of waxman markey are saying that the republican amendment makes their legislation null and void, that it is not comparative.
they are still going back and forth.

“Bachmann is hot. She’s right that it is tyranny vs liberty.”

She's absolutely right. Of course she's the only one to say “tyranny”. Most people don't know what that means. I guess when people get a certified letter in the mail saying they're being fined $500 because they failed to register and file the requisite paperwork for their fireplace, they'll find out.

I still can’t get an answer from Congressman Petri, RINO from Wisconsin on how he will vote on this. If he votes yes I will spend every last dime and every last minute I have on this earth making sure he will NEVER be re-elected or serve in any government capacity again.

i hope we all remember that if our rep votes the wrong way, we need to remind him/her/it that we won’t be forgetting and that a lot of effort and money has now gotten pledged to his/her/its opponent next time. i think it’s always good, too, to add, “and i sure hope you’ve never done anything you’d mind having made public.” calls before the vote are good, but calls afterward reminds them that it’s the price they keep on paying.

Sounds like the Dems are creating a frankenstein monster of tax and regulation fed by a wall street ponzi scheme. They think they’re geniuses- or advanced on the evolutionary chart. I think they’re lunatics, and this monster they’ve created is going to be hated by the town folks and eventually hunted down with torches and pitchforks.

That jackass is in rehab and he hasn’t stepped down or been recalled by his constituents? They get what they deserve.

Steny Hoyer is a lying whore.

But he is a good speaker, he will bring in people onto his side. He is full of crap, but his style is good and it will suck people in.
