And it will all be a game.

With the American people as losers.

If we have future elections, and if the Republicans gain control of congress, I would hope that they would ram everything through on simple majority votes. Of course, the press would scream loud and long about that, and the American people would be outraged.

I guess governing by fiat is more palatable to some than simple up-or-down votes..

I DEEM THE DEMOCRATS FULL OF CRAP

This is a grevious insult to feces everywhere.

I deem not to pay what my 1040 says I owe to the IRS. /sarcasm

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could live in the same “world” as the “deemers.”

They think they’re living in a Star Trek show, and can govern by the words, “Make It So.”

Thats okay folks, my State VA has already taken steps to protect its citizens from the parasitic fascists. Why don’t you join us. Imagine 30 or more States declaring their independence from the Feds regarding healthcare mandates. This could start another rebirth in responsible governance. Imagine many states came together to form a central state for the simple purpose of defense, common currency, and foreign diplomacy. Now imagine those states being dictated to by the central state. Interesting problem isn’t it? What to do? Assert State independence from the central state on all issues not specifically cited in the original contract. The central state would have two options, discuss the matter in court (USSC) or go ballistic and wage war. Do you think bammy is up for this?

Help here. If this bill (free med) is passed and some claim there is no way of changing it, even if the Repub’s take control of both house’s at a latter date....what happens when there is no money in the treasure to fund such bills? And, believe me, after looking at Tenn. care, and Mass failed health programs, there will be no money to pay for this socialistic program.

I'm beginning to think that the best thing that could happen for conservatism is that these ingrates DO pass this thing.

The anger is beginning to bubble to the surface, so the backlash to an actual passing of the legislation, especially without a vote, will sweep the liberals out of power for a long time.

I think the damage is reparable, especially in light of the fact that no voter can be "hooked" onto this particular gimme until 2013.

Go ahead, make my day, Democrats.

They want to destroy America? Fine. 20 million people bump up their W2-dependents to the maximum allowed. 20 million people file every extension allowed to file your tax forms. 20 million producers claim that they need to set up a payment plan to pay their taxes and somehow they manage to be late with the payment.

20 million people become tax experts and train 20 more million people on how to garner every last cent of refunds and small business deductions on the businesses they’ve just started to use as a tax write off.

We control the purse strings. If they pass this government control bill, I say help bring the system to it’s knees so we can break the fever and start getting well again.

“That way each Democrat can go home and truthfully say he didn’t vote for health care, and yet there will be a health care bill. Those who want can claim credit, those who don’t will have no responsibility.”

We need to make it known — loud and clear — that we will hold each Democrat member of Congress responsible for this monstrosity — Representatives and Senators alike — whether they were for OR against. AND we need to send the message loud and clear that they are on their way OUT...

So much for trying an end-run around the American people...jerks...

Maybe the Republicans in the House should just deem that Nancy is no longer their Speaker and they have passed a bill that outlaws Democrats in the House.
