Course not, the city of “brotherly love” wants and needs free and immediate access to medicine. Filthy, filthy, filthy.

My response is, if it hasn't even been written, why the rush to pass an unwritten bill?

This goes way beyond Congress's usual habit of delegating the power to effectively create legislation to regulatory agencies.

This is a vote to hand a blank check to the staffers and lobbying organizations, to create whatever legislation after the fact. This vote is a vote to end the Republic.

Right. The other reason for doing it fast is so that various Federal bodies (CBO, Treasury Dept., etc.) can at least have a basis for which to determine the massive new revenues that are going to be needed over the next 10 years in order to pay for this sh!t.

I was thinking the same thing.

This isn’t that different from the anger that started the formation of our country.

Maybe some in Congress will get the idea they will be voted out because that is the only thing that is going to stop them.

"A town hall erupted in Philadelphia after Sen. Arlen Specter said health care reform has to get done fast."

He really is a piece of you know what.

What in the heck is he doing out there talking about RAMMING through something that will impact 1/6 of our economy! And will IMPACT each and everyone of us peons out here in terms of the quality of our health care!

Haven't our leaders in the house or this case SENATE been reading about what happens to people in a socialized health care system?

Why in the HELL are the congressmen and women getting involved in this area anyway?

Why in the heck do they want to destroy the best health care system in the world

WHY?

Why are they willing to punish an entire NATION because some people do not carry insurance?

WHY?

Why, when it is CLEAR that our nation is a nation of CHARITY, not only at home but around the world, do they want to DESTROY that and force all of us into a system that will ulitmately put all of us at the end of a spectrum where the great oz controls all and our pleas for perhaps an aged very sick and much loved family member will go under the bus because, there is a rationing system, don't you know.

Our very creepy, dirty, filthy marxist pig of a president - who knows his own FAMILY will never have to suffer under the great Oz's decree on who gets the new hip, or knee, or cancer surgery etc - wants to push this crap on us?.

He sure loves the people in his nation who work hard everyday and DO NOT DESERVE TO BE FORCED INTO A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT WILL WORK AGAINST THEM, doesn't he? NOT!

How DARE those hellbound men and women in DC that follow that black creep attempt to walk into the medical world in our nation and TAKE OVER IT!

We have the best medical practice in the world, and it draws the best of the best of us into it. And folks come from all over the WORLD to be a part of our medical system.

Why RUIN it? WHY?

What's next?

Oh, that's right, with this universal health care, the goverment is giving itself ACCESS to our bank accounts to actually make WITHDRAWALS. Therefore....what is NEXT if full control over what we EARN.

Don't you WONDER that if the congressmen and women and that freak of a PRESIDENT had to go under the same plan they are pushing upon us if this INVASION into our HEALTH CARE would even be happening.

Liberals ruined the black family with welfare, President Johnson even said "we the democrats) will OWN the blacks forever now" . Meaning give the blacks these freebies, ruin the family by paying young girls money for each baby monthly but taking that money AWAY if they marry the father, the DEMOCRATS knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

Now they want to ruin the nation with universal healthcare,which leads to a helplessness in the most important area of our lives, it takes the most important decisions some of us will ever make AWAY from us.

It dispirits a nation and puts us on a course like England where we lose our souls and become lost to more and more tyranny ( in England's case...they have lost to the Muslim invasion and the PC leaders that now order their lives will not let the people stand up and object. )

We MUST STOP THIS MADNESS.

Let's INVITE THE WHOLE FRIGGIN CABAL OF CONGRESS TO GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM AND TO STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT, FOREVER! IT IS NOT THEIR JOB TO TAKE OVER OUR HEALTH CARE...

Alexis de Tocqueville said it succinctly: “A man’s admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.”

The smug grins on the faces of those two at 2:10 explains it all. The contempt they hold for the audience is visible. They consider themselves above the public, and immune to its outrage. This kind of 'government' is a clear danger to Liberty.

The only reason to do it fast is to “pull a fast one” on the American people.

Under obamas dictatorship it doesen’t matter what the peasantry wants. The ruling powers have all the say in the matter.

Thanks - the liberals don’t know what to do when they actually face some opposition - they look like they are totally confused that we don’t want socialism shoved down our throats.
