Senate Democrats have 60 votes to pass their Health Care Bill.

“Yes. The bill must be passed in identical form by both bodies.”

Reconciliation is where the most liberal parts of the health care bill will be inserted. Nothing is stopping them from passing completely different bills in reconciliation.

The final bill will have a “public option” even though it is not in the senate version.

we can’t pay for it, so it really doesn’t matter - we’ll be on to much bigger problems before this ever gets implemented.

[Diverdogz]

The vote hasn’t happened yet. Things can change.

[bossmechanic]

So tweedle one and teedle two stupid on both counts.
It is unemaginable that fools that we call our reps
actually participate in this lunacy.

[IbJensen]

Clean house. Now that we have no Constitution Congress and the executive branch should be forcefully removed. They have ‘fixed’ our electoral process so why wait for the next one?

[mad_as_he$$]

Excellent point. The passive reaction to that election has brought us here.

[WOSG]

What about the 500 disgruntled conservatives who let Coleman get defeated?

Or the 500 disgruntled conservatives who let Sen George Allen lose to Webb in 2006?

Or the 500 disgruntled conservative who let Tester win in Montana?

Or ... the list goes on.

EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT IS A SELLOUT. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

And yet we were told that it was okay to let Democrats win, it would ‘teach the GOP a lesson’.

America - destroyed by the Democrats to teach the GOP a ‘lesson’. What a lesson!

The sad part is that the Taxes that fund the Bill start as soon as it it signed. May God have mercy on the United States.

So many libtards are going to feel it when their Flexible Spending Accounts are limited to $2500 @ the next benefit sign up period.

Oh well they didn't want to pay for the kids braces or all those co-pays with tax free money anyhow.....

So the Senate bill doesn’t have a public option, funding for abortion or an expansion of Medicare? Is that right?

[BobL]

“I hope you are speaking for yourself. I’ve voted in every election and primary since 1981..... “

Me too. No, it’s just a subset of us...the Perot voter types. Just enough of us to be useful idiots to the Democrats. I’m all for purging the party, McCain and Gram are TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE, but people getting so mad at the Maine ladies and then saying the party sucks because of them. Come on, it’s the Northeast, you’re not going to get Tom Coburn elected there, and besides, the ladies have near-perfect record supporting some very conservative Republican-appointed judges.

Those Taxes pay for COP15’s agreement and the appointment/selection of 2010 demo-fascists.

[Theodore R.]

Yes, the Cornhuskers are always surprised.

“Yes. The bill must be passed in identical form by both bodies.”

That won't be hard, since Reid and Pelosi are up each others ass. This thing will go through the House like a Gut shot Elk. It will pass and be signed into law before the year ends.

They all know good and well they can change it in committee to however they want it. Once it becomes law, it is written and complete.

People in SD discovered the federal teat in 1962 with their George S. McGovern. They have not been cured of their prelidiction.

Let’s make sure that they fear politically the people who make the country go.

Too late for that; they are part of the family, and they know that the family will take care of them until they die whether they hold office or not.

I have come to the conclusion that these tyrants fear nothing short of physical suffering and their own mortality, and they also know that Americans are not what they used to be when it comes to calling them to account. As for me, I believe this bill lights the fuse; I will resist passively until something blows and then I don't know what the hell I will actually do.

(I will, however, terminate my involvement in two government-auspice organizations next week. I now wish to have as little to do with "authority" as possible, regardless of how "well intentioned" it is.)

The American people will get the Christmas gift in 2009 that they have wanted since 1949!

[LS]

Lessee, didn’t you tell me this would never happen?

[Dudoight]

What are the chances for a repeal in the future?

[rightwingextremist1776]

The DAMN RINOs got us here...AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

Wait...what’s that sound? OH...those are the RINOs playing the blame game again....except they don’t blame themselves for abandoning the base.....

Anyone who believes in the “Moderate Democrat” must also believe in the tooth fairy and the unicorn.

[teg_76]

what do you mean by “don’t participate anymore than you have to”?

For fear of being blacklisted or something?
