Listening to the debate on the floor today, it was clear that Democrats considered it a moral and ideological obligation to pass this billconsequences be damned. The leadership is congratulating itself nowPelosi is already the greatest speaker of all time apparentlybut there's a tough rough ahead in the Senate. Pelosi could lose 39 votes. Reid can't lose any. Passage in the House definitely creates more pressure on Reid to get it done, but the slender margindespite the size of the Democratic majority in the House and all the arm-twisting and deal-making (what did Cao get?)has to make Senate moderates even more nervous. There's a long string yet to be played out here, and it's still likely to stretch into next year, by which time Pelosis historic accomplishment of Nov. 7 may look foolish.
I hope you're right, but... how do you know "the votes aren't there"? I'm not so optimistic...
Don't bet your life on that.
Works for me. Funny, one of the most influential books of my lifetime was The Gulag Archipelago. When I read it back in the mid 70's, it seemed so improbable that I might someday be a 'zek.'
These bloodsucking miserable lowlife sons of b*****s and parasites can’t even organize a swine flu vaccination for the general population. They are happy now, but just wait till they are in agony with pain and need to get to a doctor who’s no longer practicing here.
We need to organize our health care abroad. Make a deal with our doctors to get them set up abroad, or better yet, right across the border, and make sure that WE hardworking Americans have access to their medical care. We won’t get it here. The Democraps just haven’t figured that out yet.
Then Boxer passed Cap and Trade out of her committee illegally and set off a firestorm with Baucus who is now mad at Reid and Boxer.
I agree with you on “Dumbocare” — love that word!
Did you watch that video?
All NEW “jobs” will be filled with SEIU and ACORN zombies.
So, there will be a sharp uptick in sullen, illiterate, incompetent receptionists, “nurses,” etc.
The institutions set up by the Constitution are fine. It’s the human stains occupying the positions in all three branches of government that are fouling it up. There is a solution. Fire your Senators and Congress folks at your first opportunity. Only vote in replacements that will adhere to the Constitution as the founding fathers intended and that will have the courage to say not the Federal black mail of money. Make them pass a law that all taxes will be be paid by workers to the states in which they reside only. Nothing goes from the workers to the Federal Government. The State Legislatures will then determine what tax money goes to the Federal government and that money should only be used for those powers given to the Federal Government by the US Constitution. They should make it illegal for them to use it for any other purpose, period. Problem solved. The money trough is cut off from the pigs, except for the basics, and they can’t pander for votes from the parasites anymore.
That’s actually a pretty good idea.
Well, that is it for me tonight. Way too pissed off. I’ll blow off some steam by playing Halo online and racking up some carnage.
They know it’s not moral and it’s not about health. It’s time to really get rid of them. Nancy Pelosi and the ones that voted for it should be tried for treason.
You obviously don’t get the emails from Rep Mike Pence to make a dumb statement like you just did. I am tired of the GOP being picked on when they are trying their level best and thanks to some on here we lost more seats then we should have — didn’t want to vote because of McCain so it hung our Reps out to dry in what should be safe conservative districts.
Either be part of the solution or get out of the way. I am sick and tired of all the whine and going after the GOP when they fought very hard but their hands were tied because of lack of Republican Reps.
If some people spent as much time going after Dems as they do the GOP, we would be better off. I will take every seat we can get and if it takes a RINO to get the seat so bet it but it will give us the Speaker and oust Pelosi as Speaker.
You do my Oklahoma delegation a disservice with your comments. I am tired of seeing comments from people that signed on here during the election and have been trashing Republicans ever since.
“Let America experience what it voted for.”
I’m with you on that! Evidently 10.2% unemployment doesn’t mean anything to them and I suspect when it reaches 15% they won’t care about that either, as long as they have healthcare and abortions. They can also continue to allow the rotten MSM make their decisions for them, without question.
I think it’s the only way to reign these out of control pols in. Plus you get the added benefit of getting people involved in the communities again. States take care of themselves first and only after that, will the Federal sloths get theirs.
“when was the last time Republicans came to together to forcefully call for the abolition of all the socialism we already have... all the socialism created over the last century?”
I hear ya. The good news, if we can really call this good, is that socialism always, and I mean always, bankrupts itself. Medicare, for example, will be bankrupt in 2017. And we’re creating new outlays!
If we’re not going to cut spending, that means we either have to raise taxes or debase the currency with deficits. Politicians will select the latter since they can always blame rising prices on greed.
Oh for Pete’s sake, what has the Democrap party ever done for the poor. Keep ‘em poor, give ‘em a few bucks here and there, promise ‘em the moon and the stars.
My own mother who lives in Europe and has voted leftwing for her entire life is quite honest in saying that the left gives her 25 euros a month more, and as long as the other side doesn’t give that to her she will continue to vote for these assholes. I’m serious as a heart attack.
All I can say is... OMG. What the hell is she talking about? Loan forgiveness for veterinarians??
It's 1:35am EST here and it's been a long day... I can't think clearly anymore. I'll put this one out to my ping list...
We need to get clips of that debate. Specifically, I want the one that tells everyone that veterinarians get their loans forgiven. When asked what the hell this has to do with health care, the Democrat answered: EVER HEAR OF SWINE FLU? It was surreal. That should be our first commercial.
