I just can’t stop laughing. The Dimocrats haven’t read the bill, the American people have. These “representatives” are so meglomaniacal that they can’t stand the fact that the untouchables of society, their constituents, are undermining their efforts to seize even more power.

The only saving grace is that those hoping to get re-elected are jumping like rats from a sinking ship.

Take a look at the architects of this mess…Henry “Ratface” Waxman, David “Adolph” Alexrod, Rahm “toe dancer” Emanual, Robert “stuttering John” Gibbs, Nancy “Is my face too tight” Pelosi, not to mention the stepford twins Kathleen “did I say that” Sebelius, Linda “I don’t get confused by the facts” Douglass wow this could go on and on…now this is change you can believe in. Bwaahahahahahahh.

As you read this you have to wonder who is running this asylum. Either Pelosi or Emanual. The One is the pitch man, always in campaign mode and you know he can’t be running the show. He spends less time at the WH than a tourist. Maybe Axlerod is running the show.

[...] 3. He has no control over Congress.-When Reagan won in 1980 the Republicans, with conservative Democrats, obtained de facto control over the House. (The Republicans controlled the Senate outright after the 1980 election.) The Freshman Republicans were so loyal to Reagan that they were mocked as “The Reagan Robots”. Reagan used their votes to ram much of his agenda through the House, and many of those House members in the Freshman class paid for their loyalty by losing their seats in the ‘82 election, as did many Republican senators in 82 and 86. With far larger majorities, Obama has no such control over the Democrats in Congress, as is clear from the squabbling between the Democrats in the House and the Senate over health care, and the coming revolt of the Blue Dog Democrats in the House. Even the Lying Worthless Political Hack a/k/a Nancy Pelosi , Speaker of the House, feels free to thumb her nose at Obama. [...]

Also, as Karl noted earlier in the Greenroom, the more public scrutiny is focused on the public option, the less focused it is on other unpalatable aspects of ObamaCare like the individual mandate.

A very good point. The battle against H.R.3200 is a target rich environment for us: taxpayer funded health care for illegal aliens, federally funded abortion, rationing of healthcare, and the dubious financing model will do for starters. Let’s apply pressure on these and as many other points as possible. Kill the bill.

Pelosi is actually torpedoing Obama’s ploy of a back door entry of health care. One good turn (of the knife) deserves another I guess.

Here’s what I think will happen: the Dems will come up with different language to say the same thing, count on public fatigue to make the protestors look like continual whiners, and send government healthcare through the back door.
