Democrats Death by Suicide
The Washington Times ^ | March 21, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 03/21/2010 9:01:50 PM PDT by Abakumov

The government takeover of health care will go down in history as the worst piece of legislation to emerge from a Congress held in general disdain by the American people. The only bipartisanship on the health bill was in the opposition.

Usually autopsies are reserved for after the patient has died, but in this case it is useful to get ahead of the matter. The malformed health legislation is not the only reason Democrats are facing political extinction in November, but it is one of the most dramatic. The legislative process in this country has never been so unseemly. Arm twisting, backroom deals, special privileges and potentially criminal "government jobs for votes" agreements became a normal way of doing business. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fixated on the mantra that the Democrats' health plan is "historic," but so was the Black Plague.

One question: How many people are going to try and cross the people now in control of their healthcare?

If you are that much of a sissy, you deserve to be the slave you are.

I have been starting to scan the various major media outlets across the country in different states. People are really pissed off. Dems are underestimating the whole thing.

Greece and California are bankrupt. And these pukes gleefully add a trillion dollar entitlement to the system.

What are they thinking?

It's going to be just like prohibition. If it doesn't die a hasty death under the weigh of lawsuits and the November election, it will die a slow painful death a few years from now.

The American people are no longer asleep. They are awake and ANGRY.

I saw a video of the soon to be irrelevant Nancy Pelosi and her zombie cohort walking to The Capitol today. Someone shouted out to them, "how do you feel? Do you feel like you are making history?" It was said in a very sarcastic tone. It make me smile.

Mao made history, as did Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin. The Dems made history today.

Unlike most bills, even things like war resolutions, health care truly impact every single person. They will learn what this does to them, and in most cases, it taxes them, raises their rates, limits their choices, and eventually will kill them when their benefits are cut late in life. This is not a fleeting public opinion.

This article implies there will be an election in November.

Kinda like saying, 10 years ago, they won’t be Government Health Care.

WOW....how’s that working out?

When is this crap supposed to go into effect? I’m hoping I’m dead before it does.

I’m not speaking about myself, but about other people. Frankly, I think that’s the whole reason Obama and the RATs have been pressing this thing so hard.

In reply to your question.. “How many people are going to try and cross the people now in control of their healthcare?”

I’m a doctor..and the Democrats just crossed me!

If any politician who approved this came to ME for any health care!!

Well..let’s just say..it wouldn’t be a good idea on his part.

There are a lot of quitters and whiners on FR today(and have been for several years now). I get tired of hearing how it is all over but the shouting, when nothing could be further from the truth.

A whole bunch. Technically, gov't ain't in DIRECT control. They have opened a pandora's box of rules and reg's that will destroy health care. P!ssed off people are not going to take it.

I’m not saying it’s over, but it can’t be denied that there are going to be a lot more people out there hesitant to cross big brother now that they control something like healthcare.

REst assured, I’m getting prepared for a crash or rebellion, and now I’ll be shifting into overdrive.

So what do you think the doctors are going to do about it?
And when are they going to do it?
