Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

Thanks - I’m trying to read everything I can, hitting refresh, have to attend to whining cats, friends with problems, checking emails, and gotta clean house up before DH comes back from an auction or I’ll be in Big Trouble!!!

[blackie]

That’ll do it!!

“This is getting confusing. If the Dems have abandoned “Deem and Pass” doesn’t that mean they don’t have the votes to push it through?”

No. It means they think they have the votes to pass it straight up...without the demon pass.

Alsas, on today’s subject at hand, only a handful have truly helpful or reliable info.

A thoughtful read for later. I am going to ask Amityschild if it can be posted as independent thread:

From your link:

Update 3-20, 4:20 PM: Something’s fishy. Stupak didn’t suddenly go from eleven members down to six. I think that quote was taken out of context somehow. As Firedoglake notes, the six mentioned in this article do not include Lipinski, Donnelly, or Costello, some of the most outspoken members of the group. If some are flipping, it would be Rahall, Kaptur, or Dahlkemper — and yet they are mentioned in the article as still being with Stupak.

Update 3-20, 4:10 PM: If Stupak only has six, that means we would have to win more of the undecided members than Pelosi. That won’t happen. On the other hand, Eric Cantor tells NRO: “We’re still fighting and it’s still very fluid.”

Update 3-20, 4:00 PM: Stupak now says that his numbers are down to about six. If that is indeed the case, then Obamacare will pass.

We need to make an award for this person!

Actually, I left here around 8:30 in what I thought was plenty of time to make the rally. Not.
Got all the way within twenty miles and hit construction and traffic like you would not believe. Took a detour and got hopelessly lost. Found my way back and people were just turning around and going back the other way. Followed them and tried a different route. Ended up right back almost in the same place. Don’t have GPS and stuff. If the baby hadn’t been with me, I might have tried going yet another way around, but my GOD rule kicked in and so I just came back home. Might possibly have gotten there if I had stayed in the traffic I was in, but with a baby, hours in traffic is insane. Been here ever since I got back home.
Went the back way down through Friendsville.
