Let's not get complacent - let's make sure we kill the bill:

U.S. Congressman Ted Poe (R-Houston/Beaumont)was on KTRH (Houston) this morning. He said that he had spoken with "moderate democrats", and reports that they are saying that healthcare is dead. It seems that there are a few House dems who have gotten the message. With their own election looming in less than 10 months, perhaps they are now more frightened of their constituents than Nancy Pelosi. Their may be a fracture developing in their party. With statements like this coming out, along with what Webb and Bayh said the reality is starting to sink in with the pragmatic ones that a message has been sent and a mandate from the people delivered. This was more eloquently delivered by Scott Brown last night, and now we will have someone in Washington with a bigger set than the collective GOP "leadership". It started in VA and NJ, now MA...... without the use of hyperbole, it is impossible to describe the meaning of the conservative victory. Now it is time to clean up our OWN house. McCain, Graham, Collins, Snowe and the rest of the rinos take notice: your days are numbered. If Scott Brown can take "Ted Kennedy'S seat", a conservative can take yours.
I believe this brings us one-step closer to Moderate Dems leaving and starting their own party.
I am still in shock over this. It’s almost like believing you had a terrible disease for a year and the doctor informs you that you are now cured.
Poe: Obamacare is nevermore....................
Arugula ! Arugula !
NO MORE RINOs!
LOL - that is a great analogy.
Go Poe, go!
Keep an eye on Obozo, his executive orders and the use of his czars.
Yet, Pelosi and Obama are giving every indication that they are going full steam ahead. It might be time to invest in popcorn futures.
Houston PING
A watershed moment in America’s history. Thank you Massachusetts.
Juan McCain and his pocket pal Miss Lindsay Graham-nesty are despicable people.
We'll cram this down their throats whether they like it or not!
The people of Massachusetts who voted for Brown are heroes. They are true Patriots.
I feel the same way. I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around what just happened. It’s like we’ve just been given a reprieve from the Lord.
God bless the people of Massachusetts.
You certainly can’t ignore the middle ground, moderate right, moderate left, & independent voters - they’re fickle and don’t give a damn for partisan party lines.
The people wanted a uniter, and government conducted out in the open sunshine - they’re getting the middle finger and a holier than thou juggernaut.
The middle ground voters are never solidly in anyone’s camp - the Dems just re-learned that lesson.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid are going to renact the final scene of ‘Thelma & Louise’.
Great analogy.
That's a great analogy. This whole development seems really surreal, isn't it?
The people here at a certain health insurance company STILL don’t get it. They think Brown won because Coakley’s campaign knocked a reporter over....I am in the twilight zone.
What’s even more amazing....many cities had voter turnout over 60 percent in Massachusetts....with the state average at 55 percent.
Even with such insanely high turnout well beyond all the poll estimates, Brown still won by 5 points.
I think the Brown surge brought more Dems out just because they got scared. Honestly, if this was Friday instead of Tuesday, I think Brown would have won by over 10 percent, an incredible blowout.
That’s not to take anything away from the win....it was a massive win, and the only reason I point that out is to say that the turnout was so high and yet he still won....
Beyond amazing.
“The news reports and the Politico are saying Sarah may campaign for McCain. I do not believe it but if she does - add her to the list of RINOs.”
Sarah needs to tread very delicately here. While she can have some cover by being loyal to the one that showed her the national stage, it should only be after the primary IF McLame knocks off Hayworth (should he run), and then only cameos - or maybe back out having changed her mind (my preference).
She should certainly back out of AZ campaigning just now, imho.
Love it! ...tatoo a “L” on his forehead!
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
I almost feel bad for Barry...getting so close to his Socialist utopia, tasting its wicked take-over of freedom...
But then again, NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY, GOODBYE!
“Mad Money” Cramer said the stock market would go up if Brown was elected.
Cramer is wrong. The market is down 200 points.
The stock market does not like uncertainty and at this point we do not know Healthcare is definitely dead.
The Lord has a great sense of humor! Pride goeth before the fall.
Hope they all fall like dominoes. And I hope they don’t stall his certification.
As bad as we felt after November 2008, it always amazes me how eventually the people’s will is what counts the most. It appeared to me for most of last year that they were going to be able to ram this through against the people’s wishes. Yet, the people always find a way to get their way. Obama needs to look at the Declaration of Independence again (if there ever was a first time)
Governments are instituted amongst men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed
We all thought that was dead also.
The Republican party NOW has a leader.
It reminds me of that commercial with Charlie Daniels playing the fiddle furiously, boot stomping and all. Then handing it off to the fellow beside him saying “That’s how you do it son”.
Take note GOP: THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE!!
A God-granted reprieve for our nation.
Obamah-Care Killed Camelot !! Bump
Maybe even the History Channel will stop those never ending “who killed Kennedy” documentaries.
I think "in remission" rather than cured. There are still 59 Dems, how many RINOs looking for fame/notoriety? It's not over by any stretch of the imagination.
How long before zer0 goes golfing again? Any guesses?
Yup, no more ObamaCare. Look for National Romneycare next- “It’s Not Obamacare So It’s OK! Endorsed by a conservative!”
Three must have been so many praying about this. I told my friend last night that people in other countries might have been praying too......because so many from other lands come to our shores for our excellent health care.
Good point! We need to remain diligent and continue to support conservatives running for office.
The problem is that many Dems have already voted for Obamacare. It is kind of hard to unring a bell.
Love that commercial...love Charlie Daniels!
It is the house that matters now. They dont want to lose their cushy jobs. remember..it only passed the house with 2 votes....the dems in Red State will be TOAST if they vote for it.
The patriots of Massachusetts refuse to don the yoke so carefully crafted for them.
Just when you think they have been beaten into submission, a few hundred thousand Massachusetts patriots step out from behind the trees with the modern day equivalent of loaded muskets. In one coordinated volley, the oppressors go down hard.
God Bless America the patriots of Massachusetts
This is getting so interesting. Their left wing base is going to be livid but the conservative Tea Party base will cause the most damage if they decide to pass this. This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems.
Obama has just become the most impotent President in only 1 year. God has a funny sense of humor (Olympics, global warming, health care and on and on).
The absolute worst President in my lifetime and probably in everyone’s lifetime.
I’d like to see the so-called moderate democrats fight to retake their party from the radicals that have infiltrated and lead it now.
Amen!!!! We the people want our country back and we will take it.....even if 1 seat at a time.
I am SOOOO pumped up!
Amen. We need to thank God today because it is truly a miracle. I pray that this country will turn back to Him.
LOL!
I saw one where people basically implied Kennedy killed Marilyn Monroe.
Pretty convincing actually.
