LOL - I quite enjoyed reading all those despairing comments. So they are not going to get their socialist paradise from Obambi after all.

So sad.

From Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Obama's playbook :

Tactic #12

"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

Obama has to get something passed to save his Presidency. This will happen and he will declare victory.

They'll wind up passing the Marxist-lite Co-op.

Agreed, Obama was shooting for full blown fascism, now they'll have to back up to communism as a compromise. We still lose.

After reading so many thoughtful, intelligent & wise remarks on this thread, I'm reminded yet again how brilliant Freepers are!

They get it!

“Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, declined to criticize Palin’s comments and said Obama wants to create a government-run panel to advise what types of care would be available to citizens.

“In all honesty, I don’t want a bunch of nameless, faceless bureaucrats setting health care for my aged citizens in Utah,” Hatch said. “

So what about the death panel that is already in existence that includes Dr. Zeke?

Now is the time to press even harder against the National Socialist. We must double our efforts to kill this bill and Cap and Trade as well. Everyone must:

Continue to write and call their reps
Write REAL letters to fill their offices to the rafters
Continue to attend public events and voice our opinions

The tide may very well be turning OR it is just a feint by the National Socialist to lull our forces into a complacency or even a trap. As all good leftist teach, if you can’t beat them - make them think you’re giving up.

Yes Beck ,Savage and Rush are heroes but those who sacrificed time and effort to go to the Town Halls are to be thanked. We now know that we can go raise hell and get anything we want across. Amnesty is coming again and I can’t wait to see the outrage on that. We need a giant celebration of victory . Maybe the big 9/12 rally. We need a million or so happy people. Rachel Maddow must be devastated and that ohberman guy that no one watches. And there is no global warming tax coming either. IS THIS NOT A GREAT DAY IN AMERICA????

The people who go to the 'Town Halls' are to be applauded, absolutely....

It's scary taking a stand.

I'm due at one this Tuesday and I hear it will be packed out!

I don’t believe it for a minute. They’ll say whatever they have to in order to tone down the rhetoric. We can’t back off. We also need to bring to the forefront the fact that Hussein and his minions will have complete access to all Americans’ bank accounts and other financial accounts/info.

To quote 0bama, “If you put lipstick on a pig it’s still a pig.” You can call socialized medicine anything you want, it’s still socialized medicine.

They need to drop the whole d*mn thing! No more camel’s nose under the tent, incremental crap!

Government is WAY too incompentent to control something as important as healthcare.

ALL of this push for government-run medical care is to set up a government agency to compete with and destroy the private option.

Yup. If Soros and his puppets in the White House really cared about "insuring the uninsured", they'd already be pouring billions of $$$ into setting up health-care Co-ops in low-income areas, and raising more billions in charitable contributions.

Instead, they're pouring billions into propaganda organizations like ACORN, Media Matters and Move.on. It's all about statism and political power.
