Pelosi: Passing Health Care By Decree?
Human Events ^ | March 17, 2010 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 03/17/2010 6:00:01 PM PDT by raptor22

Now that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she may use the so-called self-executing rule to push through Obamacare, it's time to borrow a line from Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" and ask: Really?

You're going to pass legislation that places one-sixth of the economy under federal control without an actual House vote? Really? You think House Democrats will be able to claim that they didn't vote for the healthcare bill by voting instead for a package of changes, and then "deeming" the Senate bill passed? Really?

You believe voters are dumb enough to be fooled by this? You do? Really?

It's tempting to express shock over such a brazen undercutting of the democratic process, but nobody who's followed Pelosi's career since she became speaker in 2006 should be surprised. Pelosi has shown repeatedly by her actions and deeds that she believes concepts such as process, fairness and accuracy are for suckers. She's willing to do and say just about anything that furthers her agenda, which seems to alternate between promoting big government, catering to Democratic interests, and demonizing Republicans.

Whodda thunk America would go over to the dark side of communism without anyone ever even voting on it.

Ideally, some Republican should scream “Point of Order” and ask for the Constitutionality of the proposed “Deeming” to be ruled upon and if The Bitch goes ahead (and it’s found Un-Constitutional), then let there be a Treason Trial for her AND The Kenyan Messiah, too!

The riots will start sooner or later. Our main goal is to keep track of where the b*tch lives...I wanna be there to watch the results when the crowd reaches her.

The insidious thing about this is that every Dem will be able to go to their districts and claim that they did not vote for it.

When they are defeated in November, everyone can claim they still voted for them.

As the President just said; anyone who votes up on Deemon Pass is voting for Health Insurance Reform. Any excuse to the contrary won’t cut it.

"The insidious thing about this is that every Dem will be able to go to their districts and claim that they did not vote for it. "

That's true, but not the 60 democraps that voted and passed the house bill on Christmas Eve morning. There was a 1st passage of the bill on record. I hope the voters remember that disgraceful act.

I don't think people will buy that. The folks are far too aware of what's going on to let them pull that fast one without punishment.

“Punishment” for passing this thing is like righteously closing that barn do or after the horse has fled.
