The House tries to pass Obamacare in a big hurry, breaking how many Constitutional rules/regulations??

FOX news coverage can be seen online at http://www.blinkotv.com/ (select "HD Test")

I still have some goodwill toward BlinkoTV; it provided me with Fox News until it got that cease & desist letter...

Good grief...stealing American’s private healthcare and our earnings for the rest of our lives, our children's lives, our grand-children’s lives...is the same as taking out Saddam and Sons and their terrorist State after 9/11?

This rationalization is devoid of reality.

Apparently, according to the dems, we are going to turn professional services into human rights by enslaving those who perform the services. How nice of us. /s

Pelosi's bill is 2,000 pages of hypocrisy

Pelosi's bill is 2,000 pages of tyranny

Pelosi's bill is 2,000 pages of bureaucracy

Pelosi's bill is 2,000 pages of tax hikes

Pelosi's bill is 2,000 pages of new government debt

What about all those people who work for health insurance companies? Do they get phased into government employees or are they just kicked to the street?

Who do you think Government "Care" will hire more quickly? The experienced actuaries and competent administrators, or sycophantic ACORN/SEIU types?

I thought you knew your answer.

My understanding is that by 2013, private insurance will be phased out.

I wonder what other "details" are hidden in this 2,000 page atrocity.

The hijack patrol is in place. I’m guilty, so are you.

They might barely send it to conference but on final passage tonight it will pass by a 40-vote margin, I think.

[Mr. Silverback]

I don’t want to get flamed here, but I would like to point out that there were large well attended protests against invading Iraq.

Well attended by rent-a-mobs, enemies of this nation and professional protestors.

Well-attended by people like the Communist Youth League.

Well-attended by people carrying around signs like "We support our troops when they shoot their officers"

Well-attended (I use a real example from my own hometown here) by people who called a potential invasion of Iraq "terrorism" carried out by a "terrorist-in-chief" whose troops would kill "hundreds of thousands of children" but wanted to be called "patriotic."

"Well-attended" compared to previous protest actions, but vastly outnumbered by Americans who supported taking Saddam out...actual polling data showed Americans wanted Saddam gone by a sizable margin.

Compare that to the tea parties. Real Americans, not rent-a-mobs, people from every strata of our society and both political parties, people who are truly patriotic and are solidly on the side of public opinion.

GW ignored a bunch of idiots and domestic enemies. Obama and Pelosi ignore the heart of this nation. They will regret it.

Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (d-Mich): Remember she said: “The cost of your premiums and prescription drugs will go down.”

Remember.

There is a good chance of that, I agree.

'Nough said!

[eyedigress]

Sometimes people just piss me off.

[Fu-fu2]

I was not encouraged when I saw the interns on the panel on Glenn Beck’s show say that government-run healthcare would make their job easier because they wouldn’t have to deal with the paperwork from the myriad of insurance companies....so sad.

Kill the Bill

[GeronL]

I am still Hoping it does not pass. That some of the unsafe Dems will vote against tonight.

But I fear the worst.

[Yankee]

The whole damned bill is an abortion.

[paulycy]

Kill the Bill

Absolutely!

[ConfidentConservative]

OH oh
