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 challenge you on that. The Democrats are not fair they lie to the American People through pandering and flat out false campaign promises. Once they have the squishy votes they change their positions quickly...

You want proof... NY-23rd....

This was Owens DLCC rating on 11AUG09, essentially being called an independent and against the public option http://www.observer.com/4850/meet-bill-owens-dccc-approved-non-democrat-house

So he lied, lies and lies to his constituents now he supports everything that Nancy Pelosi told him to support.

Same with Obama... LIES, LIES and MORE LIES....

Somehow, I believe you’re on the wrong forum. This is FreeRepublic! Were you looking for Democrat Underground or Daily Kos?

Welcome to the party, pal. /sarc

[HollyB]

I mean - the other extreme of Government run healthcare?

[GeronL]

Some republican with half a clue who can speak off the cuff needs to get face time and plainly talk about why this is wrong and is certainly wrong for now

The media is under no obligation to present the truth without bias. They would never air such a statement as you are thinking of.

Thank you....they all make me want to puke..and I am sick as a dog right now from sinus infection. (thank the Lord for antibiotics, my insurance, generic prescriptions, and low co-pays) ((keep congresscritters OUT of my health care, and that means you obama))

Obamacare = STEALTH REPARATIONS

Agreed, but it's more than Obamacare. Stealth reparations are much of Zero's and the dems' agenda. You can include tax credits, nationalization of industries and a host of other acts.

In a radio interview years ago, he plainly said he favored "redistributive change."

[eyedigress]

The pendulum is swinging because to many folks trusted this jack-ass and Co. in office. Throwing Bush or Iraq into this measure is at your own peril.

[GeronL]

Fair and square with the most bias media since Pravda and a little help from ACORN and George Soros.

[GeronL]

MMMEEEeooowwwww!!!!!

NOT guilty or whatever

Let me guess, she's taken??

Pelosi is letting this amendment on the floor to allow RATS who claim to be “pro-life” a chance to vote for it. It is not likely to pass. But if it does, it will be removed in conference.

This allows RATS in pro-life districts to go back and say they voted against federal dollars for abortions, even though they will vote for it in the final bill. That’s how Pelosi made “the deal” to get blue dog votes.

Well, let the blue dogs know this. The campaign commercial writes itself. You voted against federal funding for abortions, and then you voted FOR it. Putting that in a thirty second advertisement will be easy!

Works good in radio, print, and television.

Did you all see Steve Buyer standing up for our military and the outburst that just broke out on the floor? Wow, great stuff!

"Democrats won their elections fair and square. To the victor goes ths spoils."

Hummm, are you suggesting that every 2 or 4 years we are voting to completely change our form of government? I don't think most people were voting for that even if they were voting Democrat, and it has never been the case in the past. If that is the case I fear for the Democrats we the election goes against them, after the way they have been governing they are in big trouble.
