BREAKING: Dems Go Nuclear on Obamacare
HumanEvents.com ^ | 10/15/09 | Connie Hair

Posted on 10/15/2009 7:21:42 PM PDT by Newton

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 -- the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August -- has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.

Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate -- just 51 votes -- and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year. (see link for more....)

"I’ve never seem a suicide performed in public before. That’s what the Democratic party is doing this year. [Apparently], they must value passing this monstrosity over their own personal careers. This should be interesting."

The Democrats apparently aren't worried about losing elections. They have confidence in the vote fraud machine (ACORN, etc) they have constructed to steal elections. The 2000 election was the first national test of this machine and it almost worked. It has now been proven to be effective since the last few elections, eg. the Coleman vs. Franken election. They think it will work again so the Democrats are not afraid to impose any of their criminal communistic plans on America.

I totally agree. They have never made any apologies or attempts to correct the record when accused of being or having radical marxist connections and ideals. They are taking complete control of every aspect of our lives and don’t seem too concerned about re-election. In fact, they have mainstreamed marxism with ease, and it seems that the people are adapting quite well. They were probably expecting more aggressive protests and became pleasantly surprised when they realized there would just be a few tea parties and townhall meetings before the people went quietly to their fate. I would say the initial experiments have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations and are ready to implement the additional phases of their decades long planning.

"I think people are way behind. I don’t think they plan on ever leaving office, because we will be under dictatorship.

How often are we seeing news from other countries? Hardly any. How about what’s happening in the rest of the states next to you? Or across the country?

People are starved for news because we are not getting it. we get the same fluff stories over and over and over, every day..."

You're right. Very little political or "cultural" domestic news that really matters, that is not Politically Correct, is allowed to filter down to Americans. The STATE RUN MEDIA sees to that.

A nation of John Galt’s

If the Dems pull this the Republicans may as well go home to their districts and stay.

If HR 3200 or any of its operative parts are passed in disregard of the US publics denial of it, one can easily predict what happens next. S. 31 of HR 3200 is particularly egregious, as it vilates IRS privacy law, and allows for a medical fee scale based on income, not on services rendered, and opens the door for the IRS information to be used in the collection of unpaid medical bills ( redistribution of wealth through medical bills)

There will be the increased radicalization of Obama's opposition,with violence and death ensuing, which is what happens when the will of the people is disregarded by elected representatives.

People will refuse to obey the law.Or have anything to do with it.

THe violence will reach a crescendo around the elections of 2010.

And the style and manner that Obama exhibited in Kenya, 2006/2007, which resulted in inter-tribal genocide, will seize America by its throat.

We do not have a government running our nation. We have an Obama Junta. We should not lose sight of that fact.

With every day I feel we get closer to the end of these United States. Even though I live in Texas, it is in the Left corner, and I mean left. If texas goes it alone, there is nothing to stop the leftist creeps here. I think we will be at their mercy. It is not a great thing to contemplate. The thugs from Juarez would swarm to take over here. I do not have enough firepower for that! I don’t know what to think?

They won’t have any power over me either, but that is their plan. They want total control over everyone. That is their master plan

I have an ex-wife who had no power over me, though she tried. And what she had to offer was much better than what Obammer is trying to sell. My kids are married, they live far enough away to where I do not see my grandkids too often and my whole life is tied up in my life for my country (not the government) and my wife. I would die for either one.

I know one physician who put in his notice today. Not sure if Obamacare was the reason but I suspect it contributed.

In that case, make it abundantly clear that this is far from over and prepare to go underground. Nobody bought all those guns and ammo just to relinquish them.

They are STILL saying that they have to do this to get around Republican opposition when the truth is that the Republicans don’t have the votes the stop anything.

"I think people are way behind. I don’t think they plan on ever leaving office, because we will be under dictatorship."

Got Czars?
All the evidence points to the fact that we are already living under a dictatorship. The politicians are not staking their careers on some hope that we will be under a dictatorship in the future, they realize that we are already there, and that is the reason for their unbridled hutzpah. After all, what is an elected government that denies the people what they want and simply tells them what will be? It is Russia, it is Venezuela, it is Mexico, it is Iran, it is.... America. "Freedom" in our times is an illusion.

Our country is like a bear who is starving to death but isn't feeling it yet due to an abundance of past eating and stored fat. We are living off that 'stored fat'. We are sailing on the momentum of our previous wealth and freedoms but it cannot last. We have, I believe, already been dealt the death blow of dictatorship by the godless, gutless, self-serving DC scum.

I’ve never seem a suicide performed in public before. That’s what the Democratic party is doing this year. Aparently, they must value passing this monstrosity over their own personal careers.

I'M afraid they are NOT worried about their careers because they also have another nuclear option to enact just before the election.

I have never seen them to so disregard what the public reaction will be to what they do. It worries me that they know they will continue in power - a nice little national emergency that required Martial Law would shut down any election...

WE can't get our heads around such a scenario, but we've seen enough by now to WAKE UP to who and what we are dealing with.

Think they wouldn't do it? It's been done countless times by just such tyrants down through history. We'd better not put all our eggs in the Nov 2010 basket. It may be too late by then.

We must fight NOW - each and every day.

SILENT NO MORE

Certain groups in our society don’t need much at all to get themselves riled up to riot. Other groups seem to be allergic to the concept.
