“”It is unconscionable for the United States Senate to pass this bill,” said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas).”

Ah-HAHAHAHAHAHA! It is ironic that you say that, Kay, as YOU HELPED IT MOVE FORWARD!!!!

I don’t live in Texas, but I know that Texans see right through your lies and RINOism.

She doesn’t have a prayer of being elected Governor of Texas; she never did. She will be creamed by Gov. Perry in the primary!

We must stop calling this unprecedented oppression ‘healthcare’. It is health CONTROL!

What a weak statement from Graham, sheesh what a damn fool.

Snow will cross over.

THIS is why nobody trusts the republicans. They are useless.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, go to hell!

You are a RINO!

List em, if you know and make a record of it.

Bad headline. Makes the Republican Party look opposed to helping the needy underclass.

Better headline: “Senate GOP blasts health takeover bill”

Can the SCOTUS review the constitutionality of a bill before it passes, or does it have to be passed and signed into law first?

Republicans by in large have stood unified in opposition to the Senate's bill, though Democratic leaders have courted centrist Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) for her vote.

Centrist. I suspect her voting record is just shy of Ted Kennedy's voting record. That's centerism for ya.

To hear to media tell it, there probably aren't three leftists in the Senate.

By the same persuasion, water isn't wet, snow isn't cold, and Senators of the United States never commit sedition.

Ignoring the WILL of the people WILL organize the people.

Japan would not invade America because they believed there would be a gun behind every blade of grass.

The truth is that we have several per blade of grass and they are aimed at enemies from within.

I read that the house bill has 1,600 references to the secretary of Health and Human Resources and that most of those references were “The secretary shall determine......blah blah.”

The inference was that the H & HR would become like the EPA in that all sorts of life changing rules would be passed without congressional or public approval.

I wonder why the repubs don't talk more about this as this is more of a threat to our liberty, personal choice and health than what is actually spelled out in the bill.

I know the bill has changed drastically since, but I will bet most of that is still in it and that is the real threat to our liberty.

I hope we are able to repeal this in 2010. If not, at least cut off the funding for it.

BTW, Snowe isn’t a centrist. She’s a donk with an R after her name. Just another libscum.

Of course, some here would say we have to support her or else we’ll end with “permanent minority status.” My answer to them? GTH.

I don’t post often, but i read through daily what my fellow FReepers have to say.

So i ask this - What is there to do? This is a done deal or not?

How can WE the American people object to this being forced down our throats like some vile tongue depressor, causing the similar gag reflex, I might add.

My frustration is at an all time high - the silent majority used to refer to those of us with conservative values, who put God and country first but rarely spoke out.

It seems now that definition has changed slightly. It is those of us who oppose the fundamental reshaping of our government, our business and tax structure, the potential removal of Constitutional given rights and guarantees yet continually allow this to happen without calling those responsible for it to task, this is more then your typical conservative, this is the average joe on the street.

I feel this bill, if it passes, should be the clarion call for all of us who sit here as computer keyboard warriors, to get up, stand up and unfurl the flag of conservative values and let people know there IS an alternative. Too many people have forgotten Reagan’s vision of the shinning city on the hill.

We need to rally together - forget the infighting and bickering - we need to find someone, some voice to champion the conservative position and rally around that person and allow the average man on the street that the are not alone, there are others who are not happy with the way things are going and they can use their single voice to create change by joining it with many others who feel the same way. And if the media try and ridicule that person, we should not stand by and let that happen but fight back, stand our ground - not make excuses or merely go along with it to get along. All that has done I the past is given us the leadership we have in the present.

Let us stand and take back our country. Lets not let it slip away because of our bickering of who is a RINO and who isn’t...if those appeasers want to change there ways, grow a spine and want to join us, fine, if not the growing tide of OUR change, OUR hopes, our POSITIVE vision for this country, will sweep them into history along with the rest of the liberal flotsom in DC.

I don’t know how this will be received by you my fellow FReepers, but I am a 44 year old father, a good family man (I think), I own my own business and for the first time in my life, I am frightened of what the future holds for me, my business, my kids. Frightened enough to finally say - “ENOUGH”

OK, I got that off my chest, I feel better - so, lets get moving - what’s step 1?

When CNSNews.com asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ) where in the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance—a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill—Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”What the Alien meant to say “What CONTITUTION?”...real Hope and Change will come in 2012, welcome Mrs President Palin
