Posted on 11/07/2009 8:56:16 PM PST by honestabe010
In a historic vote the House Health Care Bill Passed the House of Representatives 220 - 215 with 64 Democrats voting against the measure. However, the true test of whether it can pass the senate still looms. With a test vote losing out 47-53 a few weeks ago over the Baucus Bill, much persuasion must be had in the Senate for a bill to arrive at the Presidents desk...

I guess nobody remembers when Rostenkowski et al passed a more comprehensive Medicare with a small premium requirement in the late 1980's and Seniors actually rocked Rosty's limo in Chicago.
Old Claude Pepper of FL bellered "Hands of my Medicare" until the House repealed what was actually a pretty good law, signed by President Reagan, in just a couple of days!!!
This isn't over with YET!!!

It was just discovered that Speaker Pelosi's government-run "health" plan, that may be voted on tomorrow, WILL require you to give $1 every month to go for ABORTION!

I think it’s very likely it will pass - in some form - in the Senate. It will be just as close, and I’m pretty sure the Stupak amendment will get stripped out before it’s done. In other words, get yourself well positioned over the nearest toilet bowl.
America has turned into one giant shit-show (sorry, there’s not other word for it)...

The tax revolt is coming.
It is going to have to get a lot larger with millions involved. Only 10,000 on the Capitol last Thursday - there should have been millions of small business owners take the day off and fly to DC if they really understand what is coming their way. OR maybe they like it and so don't care. ONE thing for sure, the elderly are going to start taking the screwing in 2013, or sooner. AND Medicare is still on its march toward BANKRUPTCY. Why would anyone believe the numbers these bozos use when their track record on Medicare form 1965 were off by a factor of 10. Or their record on forecasting unemployment levels in just the last 12 months?

Your words are kind, compared to what I called them. They cared not what the American people wanted, they followed Pelosi off the cliff. God forgive me for the things I’m wishing on that woman and those who voted to take away our freedom!

With only a two vote margin, it makes the eventual success of the “nuclear option”/reconciliation tactic questionable. The Dems can have no certainty it would pass the House.

Who exactly do they think will go out and "enforce" these laws?
It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman

Since this is a clear violation of the Constitution is there any way we can all band together and file some sort of lawsuit? Tie it up in the courts or something? If several million people banded together - like they do for class action suits - sounds crazy I know, but my gawd, why does that b*tch get to tell 300 million people what kind of healthcare they are allowed to have?? I am just so mad and frustrated right now.

If my dad hadn't died in 2003, I think this would have killed him, literally. I intend to make my voice heard in that cauldron of corruption known as Washington, D.C., starting with the House Madam.
