Those 39 got a wink from Pelosi and voted a meaningless "no" knowing already that the bill would pass and that their "No" would keep their jobs and fool people like you.
People still don't see the threat yet? It is called the democrat party, not RINOS , Not the GOP not even Islam yet.The imminent threat to our freedom, our prosperity and way of life has since at least the early 1900's always been the democrat party and the mainstream Democrat media and the rest of the democrats/liberals/Marxists.
Maybe you all don't know politics or understand that the party withe the Majority gets to run the House, elect the speaker of the House and decide what bills get to be voted etc.
So even if you have some RINOS in the GOP , if you still have a majority of congressmen registered as Republicans then Republicans run the House,elect the speaker, and not have bill like this socialist monstrosity of a bill come to a vote on sat night behind the American peoples ‘s back.
This Bill Passed ONLY because the Democrats have such a large majority in the House.
This bill would have NEVER passed the House in the Republican controlled House. So those "conservatives" who bashed Republicans and depressed Republican voter turnout can now be happy?
Republican controlled Congress: 1994- 2006
1. NO Government run Health-care Bill passed nor would it pass ever in a Republican controlled House so why again was the GOP so bad again?
2. NO Cap and trade bill passed.
3. No Amnesty for illegals bill passed.
4. No fairness doctrine.
5. No Net Neutrality
Democrat controlled Congress: 2007 - present
1. Government Run Health-care passed the House and will become law.
2. Cap and trade will become law
3. Amnesty for illegals will pass
4.Fairness doctrine will pass
5. Net Neutrality will pass (government will be able to censor the internet)
You say “But but , Gingrich did this and other individual who calls himself a Republican did that so I'm staying home, not donating to the GOP,and I will bash Republicans and so depress voter turnout and support for Republicans all because not every single Republican in the GOP thinks exactly like I do on some issues”.
agree with all of that, well said
No, they do not understand the basic tenets of how government works. This thread, unfortunately, is very enlightening. I now understand all the ridiculous posts I’ve been reading the last few weeks that have been boggling my mind. I now realize that we will never achieve and retain a majority for any length of time. We are screwed when even Freepers, that I mistakenly thought were more politically savvy than others, don’t “get it”. I understand their anger, but they’re focusing on the battle, not the war.
