Jan 19 is another chance to send the RATS a message.It's the special election to replace Ted Kennedy. Imagine if the voters are so mad the RATS lose the seat in MASSACHUSETTS? It would not only strip them of the critical 60th vote but truly terrorize the Rats and Rino's.

Of course a win would be absolutely unprecedented but then again with 17% real unemployment , the Country hugely in debt and a power hungry congress intent on ignoring the People I think we have a chance. The real problem is putting an end to "the fix". They WILL try and steal it.

If you live in Mass. volunteer to be an election judge and get to know election law. Work in a RAT district . They probably don't have many Republicans there. Learn how elections are stolen and what to look for. Pulling out a win in this hornets nest of commies would be just the thing to save America.

I have been helping a neighbor navigate though the process of having cataracts removed, not so complicated but quite time consuming with various checkups, medication etc. I am thinking how fortunate for her that she is getting this done now before the same panel that is reigning in pap smears and mammograms gets around to pushing for more stringent control over cataract surgery which is a huge Medicare expenditure. Like raising age requirements or being closer to becoming blind before qualifying. I heard a senator on CSpan say in effect that the panel has the authority to add or subtract and modify at their discretion what is in this bill. As I see it, the content of the bill does not really matter as it will be tinkered with and amended beyond recognition even after final passage and those who think they are safe need to understand that nobody will escape the consequences of this socialist takeover of the health industry.

You’re wrong on that. It still needs 60 votes for cloture (vote to stop debate).

Just a comment about Zero saying he might not run in 2012. I suspect he knows that he will be able to ruin the country by then and wants someone else to have to accept responsibility for his mess after 2012. Remember that the Healthcare coverage doesn’t even start until 2013. But, of course, the taxes will start immediately.

>> Lieberman caved. But, maybe it was just to get it to the floor so it could be killed? <<

There's an old saying on FR. LIEberman wrestles with his conscience... and his conscience always loses. :-)
