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.

HILL WHIP COUNT (Zack Space just went YES to NO!)

Big news, could not post Chillicothe Gazette story, but Zack Space, just went from yes to no!

http://www.chillicothegazette.com/article/20100320/UPDATES01/100320005/1002/rss01

That would put nos and leaning no to 36, 2 short of what is needed with 5 previous nos in the undecided still....Nye, Matheson, Baird, Tanner, and Davis still to decide. If the Hill’s current count is correct, we need 2 of the 5 to keep with their previous no vote. Do not give up hope yet.

I’m getting whiplash here!

Sounds like some of the people I hung with. I ran with musicians, artsy, craftsy, creative, jive asses.

Dope smokin’ rope skippers, the fast and loose crowd.

Be Bop was spoken here.

Georgia Congressman Phil Gingrey, who chairs the GOP Doctors Caucus, tells Fox News that he’s “not sure there will even be a vote tomorrow.”

I mean this statement from Gingrey (post 1733)... same link?

[blackie]

Same thing! ;)

Just got this fox alert via email. I hit the link and not a word. In the meantime, is there anybody still here?

[Tribune7]

Yes. Good news, thanks.

[little jeremiah]

If you mean on this thread, I keep checking in for news.

[MestaMachine]

Hi, Tribune7. Not used to seeing you out here in the wide open spaces. Quinn or the state board, but hardly ever on threads like this. Welcome!

[molybdenum]

Slaughter has to be watching her back--many others too.

And, they ain't seen nuthin' yet!

[azishot]

I just got back online. Before I checked my pings I noticed a thread regarding this. Don’t know why it wouldn’t be on the Fox link....

[azishot]
