Hey here's a clue it's Democrats who are pushing this government socialist Healthcare not Republicans.FYI Obama mama is a democrat.

Democrats are the threat. Democrats want to turn the U.S.A. into a socialist state which will cause the economy to fail and turn the American people into starving slaves of the government as in North Korea, Cuba , the old USSR etc.

Republicans have done an excellent job in stopping the Democrat socialist agenda and especially the democrats’ government socialist Healthcare. Republicans were amazingly able to do this against a super majority where Democrats/Marxist had 60% of the Senate, massive majority in the house, the presidency, the mainstream media. Against ALL of these odds the GOP, the Republicans in Congress , have been able to stop the democrats’ and the media's government socialist healthcare. All GOP Senators voted against Government socialist healthcare. All Democrat Senators voted FOR government socialist healthcare. Yet many of you “purists”, you perfect people ( Ha) , you “conservatives” , all of purists you never once thanked the Republicans for this but all you do is bash Republicans and threaten them while never once blaming or mentioning Democrats who are ALL Marxist deceiving villains. If I were a Republican Senator I'd say you threaten me ? well then to hell with you!

All of you “purists” put down the NY times, step away from the DNC, you democrats posing as conservatives or those brainwashed by the liberal media to hate Republicans.

Central government planning/socialism can never work. Imagine if you were placed in control of planning a national economy .First you'd try to divide that problem into smaller problems. Whoa how to do that? how to precisely define or correctly predict what are the smaller problems? Here's a clue:You can't ,no one can, not Einstein, an economist no one. But capitalism created this complex structure of millions people and millions of businesses cooperate to produce and distribute millions of products. Nobody , no government planned this production of consumer products including Kellog's Raisen bran , computers,cell phones, or a pencil. How to determine what is a pencil company, the details of it, how to divide labor into logging companies for the wood for the pencil,rubber companies for the eraser, graphite mining companies, companies that produce saws for the logging company and so on: you see no on planned this as no one could but CAPITALISM(THE FREE MARKET) created all this naturally and without any government money and in spite of high taxes and in spite of government interference(red tape and regulations).

Yeah even now with the model capitalism gave us (logging companies, pencil manufacturing companies, etc) even with this model no small group of people can plan or predict the details of where or how many or how big to make the companies etc. ,.

Imagine if you were placed in control of planning a national economy .First you'd try to divide that problem into smaller problems. Whoa how to do that? how to precisely define or correctly predict what are the smaller problems? Here's a clue:You can't ,no one can, not Einstein, an economist no one. So at this first baby step you are thwarted. Believe me it gets worse in following steps and I'll explain that later.And this is you who WANTS to make it work not some liberal who using someone else's money is more worried about saving the planet than doing what is most economical with someone else's money.

And this "plan" changes all the time with gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants etc. popping up overnight or going out of business if their business is not needed by the free market. So not only could no government idiot plan this government could never react in real time to fix any of the billions of problems that private business owners solve every day as government would need to have each problem go through an application process, red tape and a long approval process.

You know, if this is true, the Pubs should show up on the 25th and scream bloody murder about what a farce that meeting is, since the real work on health care takeover continues fast and furious behind closed dooors.

Since when does the executive branch write legislation? I thought that was the job of the Senate and House of Representatives.

The Dems must publicly repudiate doing any such thing, or else the GOP must both a) refuse to meet with the Dems for any negotiatians on any topic at all, and b) promise to block any and all legislation that can be filibustered, or be prevented from passing by other means, such as the lack of a quorum.

This is not about abortion, not about health care.

Its about the federal govern,men grabbing a cash flow and then ramming "care" down America's throat and using the IRS to enforce the bill, and to use IRS data as a way to calulate a differential medical fee scale, the more youo have saved, the more you pay.

THESE BASTIDS NEVER QUIT. WHY? THEY KNOW AMERCA DOESN'T WANT IT!

WHY? THEY WANT TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIVES !THATS WHY!

A FREE PEOPLE MUST DENY THEM!!!!! PLEASE!

KILL THE BILL OR WE START ON DEMS.

every single line in a “reconciliation” bill is subject to a Point of Order as to its relevance as a budget item on the Senate floor. Each point of order require 60 votes to pass.

I thought so!!!

Oh yea, he realizes that. The problem is, he thinks he is our Fuhrer.

Looks like a bluff to me. I don’t think they can pass the current monstrosity with 51 votes. Senators have to get elected statewide, and have seen the writing on the wall after the Brown win.

OBOZO’s Partner in Crime, TONY REZKO, Pleaded with th Judge to be sent immediately to Pison, rather than have the standard month or two to get all in order before reporting for a Multiyear sentence! TONY REZKO must have known he was a DEAD MAN Walking, that he would be KILLED if he walked out of that Court Room, just like the Gay Choir Director from OBOZO’S TRINITY CHURCH!

I call BS.

It is political suicide.

They are trying to get the squeamish GOP Leadership to assist them with this folly.

DON’T FALL FOR IT GOP.

so if obambam writes it, i reckon there aint much worry about a veto...

'writing' legislation from 1600 Penn Ave should be grounds for impeachment too...

Link didn’t form right, but they do a lot to keep up with congress. This crap was in a past DOD bill and goes into effect in 2011, according to the Army Times. Hubby is retired Senior Chief (20 years). He’ll be 70 in July.

“Hubby is retired Senior Chief (20 years). He’ll be 70 in July.”

Thank you BOTH for your service. I was medically discharged in ‘02 as a Sergeant (E-5) following 13 years service, some of it National Guard.
