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

Oh believe me, the PEOPLE in Tenn. have not forgotten TennCare, but Cooper has no reason to consider it at all — he is exempt from both it and OBamaCare — for forever, regardless of whether he represents Tenn or not. Folks, we have to get back to basics and stop treating members of Congress like royalty.

In 2010 and 2012 we will undo it.

“Prayers unanswered”

we need about 10 million surrounding d.c.

I am with you, they will stop at nothing to get this passed. There is no way in hell that this vote did not energize the Senate. They will pass this bill any way they can. I had hope that this would not pass, but, I thought people would see through Obama last year. Time to feel sorry tonight, fight tomorrow.

Listen - they passed the Cap and Tax garbage back in June in the House. 8 Repubs voted with the Dems.

That horrific nightmare measure still hss not come up for a vote in the Senate!

Neither will this monstrosity come up for a Senate vote soon.

It’s not over yet.

Yes, the House of Reps just voted us into socialism - elections have consequences - and someone told me that bottomline politics is really all about math.

They HAD TE VOTES!

In 2010 if everyone can pull together and work as hard at getting out the vote and giving to good candidates as has been shown this past year - we will kick out these Dems and take back the Congress and reverse this nightmare!!!

Caesar would have taken his troops to Rome and arrested the Senate for "treason", dispensing with the lot of them in the Coliseum.

Oh, for the good ole days.

[AmericanArchConservative]

Of course, whether these DemonRat whores know it or not

This means WAR...

Not playtime, not “elections have consequences”, not “Well...we won”

WAR.

All the “provisions” we Americans have been buying since October 2008...time to “offer” a sample to those in DC who tax us to death without representation.

Second Amendment believers - ARISE! ARISE and take your country back!

As I predicted, Pelosi & Co. were smart and let close to the maximum number of Blue Dogs vote Nea, 39. What the Republicans need now is really good campaign commercials to the effect (said by a female "typical voter just like you and me"):

"Representative X has been playing a double game with the voters. He votes to install Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, knowing her agenda for a government take-over of our health care. But then Nancy gives X an out, and allows him to pretend that he's against a government takeover."

"BUT WERE NOT THAT STUPID. WE KNOW THAT WITHOUT X'S VOTE FOR PELOSI, WE WOULD NEVER GET THIS GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE. IT'S X'S VOTE THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN."

Obviously the real commercial would be better written. But the point is not to allow the Blue Dogs to play conservatives for fools and get away with this double game.

I live in downtown Nashville. Who is running or who can win against Cooper?

[Earthdweller]

It's not just a "leftist" victory...the deals were made long ago. The Republicans never reverse any socialist legislation. When will people understand that this is all a charade to give all of DC more control, left and right. There are no conservatives on the hill...our country is socialist already.

[angelcindy]

im surprised obama is not on tv.....

[tndarlin]

We need a list of all the YEA’s and let everyone know how they voted to end their healthcare. 10.2% unemployment with the stimulus they also passed....what a great representative we all have! Way to keep America going. </s>

[HereInTheHeartland]

This is why it matters who wins elections.
This would not have passed under a McCain Palin administration.

[Yankee]

Someone please tell me that Cau is not the Vietnamese guy that the GOP was touting as an “up and comer” a year or two ago.

[angelcindy]

the illlegals are running for the border as we speak.....

[BCrago66]

There’s only about about a dozen Blue Dog Dems who voted for Obamacare. They will be easy to knock off; however, they know it and don’t care. They’ve already been assured of jobs as lobbyists by Pelosi & Co.

[borntobeagle]

I am completely depressed. Once this gets through there will be no possibility of getting rid of it.

We’re screwed, and it really stinks to see them gloat.
