The political analyst said bambi over-reached by trying to push through major initiatives on health care and climate change in the midst of an economic catastrophe.

Remember-- Charlie Cook is the 1 who said he would switch to bagging groceries if McCain won the election.

0bama will then pass incremental things, and urge his staff to push regulatory changes (this is what Hillary did), since regulations often pass under the radar.

For example regulations changed on how doctors treat non-Medicare patients of Medicare age, something that was originally in Hillarycare.

I am seeing more and more reports by ‘Rats saying that KenedyCare won’t happen this year. I call Bravo Sierra on that. I think it’s just a ploy to get us to leave them alone so that they can pass it in the middle of the night.

They are evil. They are scum. They are not to be trusted.

AND... a few days earlier Cook said he could envision a scenario in which Democratic House losses could exceed 20 seats.

They need “comprehensive health care reform” to enact the equally insidious “comprehensive immigration reform” in 2010.

Zer0 has repeatedly “promised” this assault on America, and in fact reiterated it less than three weeks ago while in Mexico.

He stated that 2010 “Immigration Reform” legislation is already in the works for 2010. He called Amnesty opponents “demagogues.” That is a quote.

America’s 25 million++ peasant illegal aliens are consuming massive amounts of state and federal social services, and someone (meaning specifically Mr. Everyday Middle Class American Taxpayer Citizen) has got to pay the bill.

We ain’t seen nothing yet.

Cap and Trade and Amnesty remain solidly in Zer0’s Program To Destroy America.

And if you think the Republicans and the GOP are with us conservatives, you’re wrong. They are not.

I agree. They need us to pay the health care bills for the 25 million++ illegal alien peasants who are to be made legal in 2010, under Round 3 of the Illegal Alien Amnesty assault against America.

Right -- that "comprehensive" may indeed not pass, but there is no way this guy and his Dems will not be putting pieces into legislation here and there, the same way that "comprehensive immigration reform" failed but pieces were attempted into other non-germane bills, some made it through.

They will build this system -- they tried to do it in one fell swoop, stupid. If we are not careful, do not maintain vigilance, it will be done under the radar one brick, one plank at a time.

Peoples BANK accounts and all other financial records: Under Obama Care, the gov’t can access your bank accounts and any other financial files/transactions. It's in the bill.

Get the word out - email it everywhere - especially to our regulars in the media = Beck, Rush, Hannity, O'R

Yeah, I have to agree....they’re just trying to get rid of the pressure so they can slime it through.

O knows people will lay low with their money and any seniors that have money will have to pay extra for healthcare. This is theft of wealth. Keep the pressure on. I think things will get worse and his poll numbers will go lower and lower - people are getting furious.

I could also envision a scenario where the Dem’s could lose 20 seats. But that is only if everything started going right for them.

Ping.

Cog doesn’t seem clouded by the general media smoke screen.

If you really believe this then you need to go commit suicide because these congressional Republicans are the only thing protecting us from Obama's radical agenda.

So far, they've done an excellent job. Remember Pelosi promised this health care bill would be passed before the Aug recess. Why wasn't it? It's because of Republicans.

Wait until “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” Round 3 appears again next year and then you will see them “protecting us.”

Agree. He has the right read on the normal political dynamics. I’m not sure that he has factored in the “Chicago Equation” - It ain’t over ‘til its over.
