That LYING MF BASTARD just declared WAR on the will of the American People. I heard him . . YOU heard him . . the American People heard him. He plans to bankrupt us and socialize our society as we know it.

I have no idea. Just something I see around here every time someone in the federal gov’t says/does something outrageously against the will of the people.

Looks like they are really going for the Putsch, their dear reader has spoken. Can’t help but believe this will derail at some point, but I really think they have spread enough “Dutch Courage” around to pull it off. Let the revolution begin.

the insurance companies aren't starting over...

The bright side, if it gets passed, will be the death of the Democrat Party. Vote them all out.

Seems to me Obama is throwing chum in the water.
And we and our families are swimming nearby.
