Wonder how he will deal with e GOP Congress.

I WON!

… And once in place, nationalized health care in some small form will give them the toe in the door to expand on it in later years, ultimately achieving the big government control the Dems seek, Euro-style.

The fatal flaw in this vision, is, in order to fudge the CBO cost estimates, ObamaCare doesn’t start providing any benefits for four years. The pain, however, starts immediately. The Catastrophe Health Care Act had the same kind of flaw, for the same reason, and was repealed in eighteen months.

Additionally, a lot of the outrage is over the power grab ObamaCare represents, as well as the cost, and the damage it will do to people’s existing coverage, that they are happy with.

BUT, we have 7 people running for the Republican nomination. the TEA party people are saying, if they lose the primary, they will not support the Republican candidate.

so Perriello, & maybe there are others like him, see the field of challengers fighting with each other. it only helps the Dems.

How to kill a vampire
There are lots of myths and legends as to what will kill a vampire. I’m going to tell you some of the things you might try if you ever come up against one of these undead creatures of the night.

*Stake them through the heart with a sharpened piece of wood (if you can get that close) This will kill pretty much anything, so be careful, you wouldn’t wanna accidentally stake dad or your SO. Keep plenty of pencils around for close combat!

*Hold up a cross to defend yourself (and hope it scares them off) Of course, a cross only works if you have faith, and not on all vamps.

*Throw holy water on them (and pray they don’t find it refreshing) If you can find somewhere to get holy water from in the first place. Alternately, you could drink holy water every day, so when they bite you, you’ll be contaminated.

*Light them on fire (and hope they die before they get hold of you) Keep that Zippo and lighter fluid handy! Or do the ol’ lighter and hairspray trick.

*Expose them to sunlight (providing it’s daytime) Better move at light-speed to get those curtains open! Or keep some sun lamps hooked to a clapper in your room.

*Expose them to garlic (of course, that much garlic will probably impede your social life anyway)

*Cut off their head (if you’re fast enough, strong enough, and just happen to carry around a sword or axe) Hopefully you get the kind that turns to dust, or that’s gonna be really messy.

*Distract them with seeds (supposedly they’re OCD about counting stuff, maybe you can keep them out ’til morning) Be aware, people are gonna think you’re a nutcase if you pour poppy seeds on your doorstep.

*Become a slayer (I’m sure there’s a Slayer Training Camp near you) It only takes special powers, years of study and training, and a good-looking British librarian type. You can do it!

How about we rename them all — Bankrupting America In One Easy Step.

@GrandFan, many people have asked the exact same question – do these idiots really want to do this ? And YET this thing is not officially dead.

Andy McCarthy at NRO has a good piece on how this so called “reform” is more than losing or winning an election cycle for the Donkeys – it is about the party of Big Government gaining more power over the lives of individuals than ever before.

They may have not got the public option -so they are now trying to create conditions where private insurance companies will become less viable as time goes on – look at what is happening to the individual health insurance market in California – it is literally collapsing before our own eyes with skyrocketing premium increases.

The whole point of this exercise is to eliminate private insurance and make this country go single payer – why would they want to give this up now ?

I pray to God that the Senate Parliamentarian is an honest guy who will not allow Democrap shenanigans in the Senate. And i hope that the Stupak group stays together. They alone can kill this bill.

Won’t it be ironic when the murder of millions of unborn children will ultimately cause the death of a bill called health care reform.

The demise of this peutrid HCR will be all the sweeter if abortion ends up causing its final gasp.

I hope the thought of all those babies born alive that Obama had no problem tossing into laundry rooms to die a cold lonely death will haunt his dreams at night.

Ironic. Poetic Justice. Call it what ever you want, but unfortunately the fat lady hasnt officially sung yet.

Dont you all think that Pelosi and Dingy dont already know that they dont have the votes ? In fact, they should have known/guessed this right after Scott Brown’s victory.

What this tells me is that all this while, they have already started bribing and cajoling spineless and corruptocrat Dims – and they will continue this process until they can stiffarm enough wusses to get along. People who are surely going to lose elections could easily be promised jobs in liberal think tanks and lobbyist jobs on K Street. After all DC is a town full of whores – and i am talking only about the politicians.

Pelosi, Reid have invested WAY TOO MUCH already and it would be a crushing defeat for them if they could not even get a simple majority to get along with this boondoggle.

This is exactly why the bill is not dead.. YET. Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry may well go down as the most despised and loathed majority leader/speaker combo EVER.

“Stupakers vote Nay”

Won’t it be ironic when the murder of millions of unborn children will ultimately cause the death of a bill called health care reform.

While their ‘Health Care Reform” bill has been rejected by a majority of the public; any attempt to pass it via reconciliation will really piss people off. Do the Democrats really want to do that?

Never. Obama is past the point of no return. More bribes, lies, attacks – whatever it takes, with MSM’s total support.

voters have made their disgust with the government takeover of health care clear and vivid

For months I’ve been pointing out that the majority of the Democrats in both houses of Congress, led by Obama, are completely and willfully ignoring the wishes of the American voting public, and many of the pundits in the MSM have now started noticing this at last, and are calling it a suicide mission.

While the poll numbers are hugely against any form of government takeover of health care, at the same time the Dems have figured out from those numbers that this coming November is shaping up to be a typically historical midterm election with the party in power probably ending up being tossed on their ears due to voter dissatisfaction with their obvious power grab and spending spree.

Which, in and of itself, becomes the motivating factor for ramming through the health care, and possibly the cap & trade, bills. This is the last time for at least a decade that the Dems will have this big a majority in Congress with the White House as well. And once in place, nationalized health care in some small form will give them the toe in the door to expand on it in later years, ultimately achieving the big government control the Dems seek, Euro-style.

They, the Democrat ‘leadership’, literally don’t care what the short term costs will be in terms of careers, etc., because long term they have no other options if they want to remain a viable power broker Inside The Beltway in the future. They look at the decades long impact of FDR’s New Deal, and know without a doubt that government controlled health care will have 10 times the long term impact, and with the voting public turning more and more conservative it is literally the only option they can see for gettting the public hooked on someone else paying skyrocketing health bills. Once hooked, future generations of Americans will grow up with that being the ‘norm’, similar to what Greece is facing now. Which is why the MSM is playing down that disaster and the scandal ridden climate change issues. Keeping those fiascoes off the radar is the only way the progressive factions in the MSM can help the Dems get this short term agenda enacted.

It’s mind blowing Twilight Zone stuff, this obsession with absolute power that they have. The only thing that will save us now is for the American voting public to keep up the pressure and not let the Dems and the MSM succeed in fracturing the massive movement against big government control of our lives that has been building. That, and giving the Republicans the power to undo the damage that’s been done to-date.

And The O is not an ideologue? Right! He will go down in history as the worst POTUS. Wonder how he will deal with e GOP Congress.
