Health-reform hell: It's never going to be over
NY Post ^ | March 12, 2010 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 03/12/2010 3:11:54 AM PST by Scanian

The time for talk is over.

So proclaimed the most talkative president in modern memory. I can't remember when President Obama said that. Maybe it was during the first "final showdown" on health care. Or maybe it was the third. The fifth?

It's so hard to tell when pretty much every week since the dawn of the Mesozoic Era, Obama or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid has proclaimed that it is now Go Time for health-care reform. So you'll forgive me if I'm somewhat skeptical about the possibility that the debate is about to come to an end.

The president recently said, "Everything there is to say about health care has been said, and just about everybody has said it."

I agree. The onslaught is just beginning and this will be a long war.

I have zero trust or confidence that the GOP either wants, or is capable of doing, what must be done.

IF the RATs get kicked out this time, a virtual revolution must begin in Washington. The Leftist power structure (which doesn't really reside in the Congress) must be attacked and uprooted.

It is insufficient to change the (temporary) composition of Congress.

But outside the Obama bunker, no serious pollster, pundit or pol in Washington disputes this basic point: Obama can't take the stink off this thing.

LOL - how true.

Obama/Pelosi/Reid will continue to push this take over of healthcare in one form or another until the November elections clean out Congress and finally end this mess. However Obama will also push cap and tax, amesty and card check trying to implement some of his socialist agenda until November when there will be enough Republican votes to assure these bills will go no where.

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts.
PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
