Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by 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

The Eeyore side of the discussion is that, having nothing more to lose, our lovely Rat Congress will run amnesty through like a speed racer and forever secure its future.

Those dems are mostly from "conservative" districts and are a NECESSARY "evil" when they go off the plantation.

If the powers that be needed them, Nancy and Obama would have gladly twisted their arms, along with the rest of the "fence sitters". It has been reported that several of them ask permission to vote against the majority (To save their butts come election time) and Nancy says yes. Don't be fooled like their constituency, conservative democrats are just as bad as the other ones since they inflate the numbers which drives up their majority (Ad in close elections, can be the difference of majority/minority status).

THANKS TONS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT WORK ON THESE THREADS.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES FOR YOUR TIRELESS PATRIOTIC EFFORTS FOR GOD, COUNTRY AND WHAT'S RIGHT.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

May God have mercy on all who Love Him in coming traumas.

1967 - March 26: Pope Paul VI writes Populorum Progressio and states: "Who can fail to see the need and importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action on the juridical and political planes? Delegates to international organizations, public officials, gentlemen of the press, teachers and educators--all of you must realize that you have your part to play in the construction of a new world order.

Our best hope is SCOTUS. No bill this large has ever been overturned.

Boy there sure would be lots of egg on ‘pro-life’ demorat Stupak and friends faces if Obama’s executive order doesn’t work out or is rescinded by Obama.

Here’s the list of 34 rats who voted no

John Adler (most surprising nay to me), Jason Altmire, Mike Arcuri, John Barrow, Marion Berry (retiring), Dan Boren, Rick Boucher, Bobby Bright, Ben Chandler, Travis Childers, Lincoln Davis, Artur Davis (running for Alabama Governor), Chet Edwards, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, Tim Holden, Larry Kissell, Frank Kratovil, Daniel Lipinski (Chicago), Stephen Lynch, Jim Marshall, Jim Matheson, Mike McIntyre, Michael McMahon, Charles Melancon (running for Senate), Walt Minnick, Glenn Nye, Collin Peterson, Mike Ross, Heath Shuler, Ike Skelton, Zachary Space, John Tanner, Gene Taylor, Harry Teague

We should thank them by voting them out of office so they can spend more time with their families. Some of the most vulnerable rats are listed here.

Stupak is finished politically and his name will go down in history as a traitor to his country. He will be judged by God and found lacking in every way.

RE “judged by God”

Yes, I know, but I’d rather see some “justice” done in the here and now. A lot of dead infants are now on this man’s soul - as well as on the souls of the rest of his POS political party.

They are contemptible swine. Truly.
