You are 1000% correct. Mourn tonight and then get back into Kick*A$$ mode tomorrow.
Thank you Mr. Gingrich and the entire GOP leadership for giving Scazzofava over to the RATS!
TERM LIMITS
Oops, I meant you can make more money seeing 3 minor patients than one with a major medical problem.
I am so angry I cannot even type right.
they passed it by 2 lousy votes?!?
Would a doctor even be allowed to be strictly fee for service, refusing all insurance or government plans, and just work for straight up cash, or let his patients have a payment plan through his own office financing? Like cosmetic surgeons and fertility docs today?
These so called "representatives" are pure evil! They are a bunch of no good looters, corrupt communist dirt bags!
Seems to me he already promised something like that if this abomination became law, didn’t he?
Couldn’t leave a message. Mailboxes are full.
I'm with you brother, it's way past time to start burning down their houses.
Thanks,

Oh good grief.
Leave this poor guy alone. He’s no RINO. He’s been with us on stimulus, crap & tax, etc. Boehner let him wait until the RATS hung themselves and got to the 218 number and only THEN did he release Cao to vote yes.
Same as Pelosi did for a couple of blue dogs, allowing them to vote no.
It was after those votes were immaterial to the final outcome.
Yeah, that’ll fix us! We’ll send money to his other Republican primary opponent (he won’t have one, btw) so we can hand this seat back to them Dems, without a whimper.
A revamped House could refuse to fund it.
It's not supposed to really start operating until 2013. It won't have a "constituency" until it starts operation. So, if the Donk's lose the White House, it can simply be repealed. These are all very important "ifs".
Do you have a list of the ones in congress who voted for this crap?!
Voinovich is retiring at the end of his term. It's an open seat. Voinovich is a liberal Republican. He's my Senator and I wouldn't at all be surprised if he voted for it. Gird your loins.
Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a free country. There’s nothing that the government can do to me if I’ve broken no laws. My wealth was earned honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room.
We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner. The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate, and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen. “Sorry about that,” said the President. “Andrew is very hungry.” “I don’t appreciate...” I began, but as I looked into the calm brown eyes across from me, I felt immediately guilty and petty. It was just a dinner roll. “Of course,” I concluded, and reached for my glass. Before I could, however, another waiter reached forward, took the glass away and swallowed the wine in a single gulp. “And his brother Eric is very thirsty.” said the President.
The President is testing my compassion, I thought. I will play along. I don’t want to seem unkind. My plate was whisked away before I had tasted a bite. “Eric’s children are also quite hungry.” With a lurch, I crashed to the floor. My chair had been pulled out from under me. I stood, brushing myself off angrily, and watched as it was carried from the room. “And their grandmother can’t stand for long.” I excused myself, smiling outwardly, but inside feeling like a fool. Obviously I had been invited to the White House to be sport for some game.
I reached for my coat, to find that it had been taken. I turned back to the President.”Their grandfather doesn’t like the cold.” I wanted to shout- that was my coat! But again, I looked at the placid smiling face of my host and decided I was being a poor sport. I spread my hands helplessly and chuckled. Then I felt my hip pocket and realized my wallet was gone. I excused myself and walked to a phone on an elegant side table. I learned shortly that my credit cards had been maxed out, my bank accounts emptied, my retirement and equity portfolios had vanished, and my wife had been thrown out of our home. Apparently, the waiters and their families were moving in.
The President hadn’t moved or spoken as I learned all this, but finally I lowered the phone into its cradle and turned to face him. “Andrew’s whole family has made bad financial decisions. They haven’t planned for retirement, and they need a house. They recently defaulted on a subprime mortgage. I told them they could have your home. They need it more than you do.” My hands were shaking. I felt faint. I stumbled back to the table and knelt on the floor.
The President cheerfully cut his meat, ate his steak and drank his wine. I lowered my eyes and stared at the small grey circles on the tablecloth that were water drops.”By the way,” He added, “I have just signed an Executive Order nationalizing your factories. I’m firing you as head of your business. I’ll be operating the firm now for the benefit of all mankind. There’s a whole bunch of Erics and Andrews out there and they can’t come to you for jobs groveling like beggars.” I looked up. The President dropped his spoon into the empty ramekin which had been his creme brulee. He drained the last drops of his wine. As the table was cleared, he lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair. He stared at me. I clung to the edge of the table as if were a ledge and I were a man hanging over an abyss.
I thought of the years behind me, of the life I had lived. The life I had earned with a lifetime of work, risk and struggle. Why was I punished? How had I allowed it to be taken? What game had I played and lost? I looked across the table and noticed with some surprise that there was no game board between us. What had I done wrong? As if answering the unspoken thought, the President suddenly cocked his head, locked his empty eyes to mine, and bared a million teeth, chuckling wryly as he folded his hands he said:”You should have stopped me at the dinner roll”
That means the MSM will be calling it a "bi-partisan" health care plan to give the 'rats cover.
Reading it would have taken over a year, and no one understands the language anyway.

Dem Senator said if they use parliamentary tricks that Reid won’t even have 50.
Baucus is steamed over Boxer moving Cap and Trade illegally out Committee. Reid also tossed his bill out the window is is drafting his own although it is not committed to paper yet. They already have 13 Dems who voted not to shut off debate on healthcare.
