I don’t think Rush is on tomorrow. He usually takes vacation the week of Christmas.

WHAT I WAS INDICATING WAS ... CHECK OUT THE FREE REPUBLIC LINK: WALK OUT and STAY OUT! Last Chance for Republicans to Save Themselves and a Nation Under Siege
Canada Free Press ^ | December 20, 2009 | J. B. Williams
Posted on Sunday, December 20, 2009 10:27:41 PM by crosstimbers

This morning on Fox Sunday with Chris Wallace, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) conceded that Republican senators won’t be able to stop Democratic health care reform legislation from passing the Senate before Christmas.

“We will fight until the last vote,” McCain told Chris Wallace. “We owe that to our constituents, because we must do everything—we must look back and say we did everything to prevent this terrible mistake from taking place.”

I beg to differ with Senator John McCain… (which is nothing new)

Another useless NAY vote is NOT everything they can do!

In the final hours of American freedom, liberty and supremacy, Republicans who no longer have a legislative means to stop the ongoing rape of the nation and its people, have one last chance to save themselves and the nation from certain ruin.

One week ago today, I issued the following - Open Call to Congressional Republicans—in which I openly call for ALL congressional Republicans to pack up, walk out, and call the unconstitutional legislative process what it truly is at present, an anti-American sham hell-bent upon the destruction of our free republic.

READ ALL OF THIS BY SEARCHING FOR THE "HEADING ABOVE" TO GET THE FACTS.

Thanks.

Better to go down with everyone voting "NO".

Nobody notices 40 no votes anymore, it's just par for the course.

40 "present" votes would get noticed and would be a poke in the eye of Obama.

Who exactly has seen or read this bill in its’ final form anyway?

Will it need to go back to the house?

I know he does but this just might be something he will return for. Hannity said he was on holiday to Okemo MT (sp) but said if necessary he would be back..so guess we need to tune in and see.

Of course, after Bambi signs it and takes credit, there will be the question of its implementation. In 2013 or whenever (I’ve lost track).

The 2011 House will be called upon to appropriate funds. Should they fail to step up to the plate, there will be no money to pay the army of bureaucrats.

Of course, they won’t have enough votes to override a veto (not enough senators up). So they won’t be able to set matters straight the right way. But no money, no implementation!

Things to remember in November, 2010. And when writing checks leading up to the event. We need a really nasty 2011 House!

It isn't over.

They still have to get a combined bill that both the House and Senate will pass. The stock market still has to weigh in. The Chinese are going to have to agree to keep financing this stuff.

(Hosea 7:1-2)

The thief comes inside. The Bandits raid outside. Now their exploits surround and encircle them.

Foreigners sap his strength, but he does not realize it. His hair is sprinkled with gray, but he does not notice.

The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.

With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction. They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

Surely the bull of Samaria will be broken to pieces.

Throw out your idol, O Samaria!

Ya know, it would have been nice if the lame a$$ republican party exhibited a similar drive as the demo-rats.

The Pubs had it all a few years back and did squat with the opportunity.

2010....very pivotal election.

If these socialist/Marxist are not run outta office, I'm afraid American may not recover.....at least financially for sure.

OK but walking out could be explained as a way to protest against briberies!
How do you call that way to corner democrat opponents one by one to buy their votes (and maybe to threaten them)?
The CHICAGO rule? Americans need to know!

Think that’s a good reason!
Republicans could ask themselves for an inquiry and at least say a “non possumus”,we are not part of this crap

Your posts shows that you have no idea of how the government works or of economics. Republicans only had a bare majority in the Senate not the 60% , filibuster proof majority Democrats have now. So Republicans never "had it all" as you "conservatives" who hate the GOP and liberals say. Funny how liberals and many "conservatives" who hate the GOP say the same thing and both loathe the GOP,funny huh? Democrats could always filibuster and stop anything Republicans tried to do . Get a clue. Republicans can't filibuster anything as democrats can break any filibuster with 60 votes, 60% of the votes in the Senate.

Democrats controlled 60 votes and so there is not a thing Republicans could do to stop this. All democrat/Marxist Senators voted to pass this . Not a single Republican Senator voted to pass this bill but you blame Republicans for this socialist bill passing? That's the most ridiculous thing I 've ever heard. Republicans could have all walked out and still the Democrats/Marxists had the 60% of the votes in the Senate to pass this.It is called a filibuster proof Senate. It is democrat dictatorship. The liberal media puppet masters have made puppets out you "conservatives" that hate the GOP.

Furthermore, Republicans didn't spend like drunken sailors as liberals , the MSM , and "conservatives" who hate the GOP say. That is a liberal mainstream media lie and a Michael Savage lie. As you can see from this graph. Government size decreased during the time the Republicans controlled Congress. The number of government employees per thousand population actually decreased during Bush's presidency and during the time that the Republicans controlled Congress. Of course the liberal mainstream media ran stories every day how the Republicans were increasing government size ("spending") by record amounts.And government educated "conservatives" who have no clue about anything including economics bought that lie every day and so got angry and turned against the GOP which was the liberal media's goal. Any "spending increases" were for mandatory spending increases mandated by the government machine and agencies the Democrats built since the late 1800's starting with the government schools. Also the Afghanistan and Iraq wars,9/11, and inflation were the "spending increases".
