Obamacare has NOTHING to do with health, it’s about control, and DESTROYING America to the point that the desperate sheeple willingly accept Socialism/Communism.

I will never accept. It'll be a cold day in hell.

At some point, Obama will ignore the formalities, sign the Senate bill into law and dare anyone to take health care away from the American people.

I don’t know why Obama doesn’t just implement Obamacare by Executive Order.

If you are going to throw out all the rules, then just DO IT.

I’m hoping we all ignore it anyway. Time for some non-violent civil disobedience.

My state is the first to declare my right NOT to buy health insurance based on a federal mandate.

The funny thing is, if this was republicans doing it, there would be riots in the cities, and pressure would be too much to bear to stop the process before the country descended into chaos.

It’s sometimes unfortunate that our side is rational, and therefore unlikely to inflict physical damage to make our points. Because I wouldn’t put it past some left-wing wacko to go after congressmen who have pledged to vote no, now that they realize every 2 kills counts as a vote for Obamacare.

This thing is POLITICAL SUICIDE for the Democrat Party, and everybody knows it.

Well, yeah - but so was flying planes into the trade towers suicide. Thing is, the terrorists destroyed the Trade Towers along with themselves. It’s thought by some the Democrats who commit political suicide voting for this bill will be installing a law that will be difficult to repeal.

Absolutely. And once that is attempted, what is to stop him from forgoing the Senate too?

Just start signing laws.

"I understand how reconciliation is Constitutional"

I do too for budgetary and deficit reduction purposes only, but that's not what this lipsticked pig is!

What ever happened to the "conference committees" required for reconciling all other bills? Seems they are forgetting all about that usual step in their fiendish pace of confiscating our free markets and a hell of a lot of our freedoms!!!

It is constitutional insofar as the Senate and House passed the same bill.

“Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Can a democrat hide behind the notion of not voting for this "health care" bill?

Which, of course, they haven't accomplished just yet.

I see the US Chamber of Commerce who started out on board with 0bama's extreme measure in the beginning are not starting a multimillion dollar ad campaign against it and directing it to 17 US representatives in particular!!!

This is almost like the dumass AARP suddenly waking up and smelling the coffee, which, of course they haven't accomplished just yet.

0bama wants a government of HIM!!! Not a government of LAWs!!! Just like both Roosevelts, he doesn't believe the constitution should limit governmental, especially Executive creativity...

Let me say that I worked very hard to understand this process..and frankly what in the world are they doing now?

Talk about a twist...this is a twist that seems more like a hurricans funnel! They are absolutly obsessed...like beyond excessive compulsive!!! It is madness..
