>>I can’t believe this is even this close... elections have consequences. When utility companies shut off customers for non-payment of their bills and people die, we’ll see what they say then. The good news is for what it’s worth, the Senate will kill this turkey.<<

I hope they kill it.
What surprised me was what boehner was saying about houses being under new provisions, selling homes etc.

“The fight we have between the 2 sides of the aisle boils down to one word: freedom.”

This gave me goosebumps

Did anyone else watching C-SPAN notice that the “reporter”, when discussing the vote, said “WE” when referring to the proponents of the bill?

I'm not surprised, but it does show how little they even try to appear impartial.

Exactly...no longer surprised. Now I always expect whom ever is speaking to speak against America.

It only surprises me when they don't.

How sad is that.

Only so much cost can be passed to consumers of products, the rest will be in the form of jobs elimination. This is a very dangerous game the Dems are playing here. Many very powerful interests are going to really go nuclear when they read this crap. Again, hoping the Senate just flushes this crap down where it belongs.

Okay...here is a very dumb question.

What exactly are they voting on at this moment?

Every interview I’ve seen so far has been with a leftist supporter of the bill.

yeah, well, as far as i’m concerned, this is treason pure, plain, and simple, and were those who support this atrocoty tried and convicted, i’d happily spring the trap for them at the gallows. even make a feint or two toward it so they could have a good last poop or two. and afterwards, hold my head high when i meet my maker.

Now the congresswoman from NY said shes gotten lots of positive feedback from community based organizations in her district. Gee ... who would that be? She didn’t mention her actual voters who have called or emailed or faxed her office.

Is it a bad sign if this amendment is going down?
