Cadillac” insurance plans DO Not impact Social Security.

Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin late Monday ruled against a Republican challenge to the health care reconciliation package, a Senate aide confirmed.

Senate Republicans Monday afternoon argued to Frumin that a provision of the reconciliation package

Just downright criminal.

Guy works for Harry Reid - need we say more?

[americanophile]

...and if he had it would have been overuled by the President of the Senate...the Honorable Joe Biden.

[prairiebreeze]

There are more challenges coming. He’s going to have to go on the record many times.

[PghBaldy]

OK- they say they have “many more.” Hopefully some will get through, but who knows with these thugs in power?

[Hoodat]

They make up the rules as they go along.

[Dinah Lord]

Alcee Hastings - is that you?

[Dooderbutt]

how in the h*ll! the “cadillac healthcare” tax passed?! is there any one that gives a damn? the parliamentarian works for harry reid and he is th one who decided it. I am going to lose my health plan...ah, I just realized...no one in washington gives a flying rat's sphincter about me and my family.

[Solson]

One down...many to go. Buck up folks...we are in a war...don't get discouraged from a few battles lost. We CAN and MUST defeat this.

Let's go folks. We're better than allowing this country to go down at the hand of these people. Fight with might, with right, and with prayer.

When Democrats are in charge there are NO RULES! Thanks alot “Blue Dogs”.....way to take a stand. When Congress is controlled by Republicans they should laugh in the face of any Democrat that starts crying the Republicans aren’t bi-partisan. Habitual line steppers(Aisle Crossers) like McCain should NOT be part of the Republican takeover of Congress in November. We can’t trust McCain....He will crossover and stab us in the back first chance he gets....When Lindsey Graham is up for Re-election I will take a great deal of satisfaction voting him out in the primary. Almost as much as when we vote out the Dems in 2010 and Bama in 2012.....

Thug Nation rules

[GoCards]

so what does that mean?

[mo]

they sure do care about you....but only as a farmer might his cattle..

this is a plain old-fashioned Democratic tax bill, disguised as a “health “ bill, designed to preserve and expand the jobs and benefits of the parasitic class in DC. Nothing more...nothing less. Yours and mine health care needs merely interfere with their career plans.

The fix has been in since Barry Soetoro entered high school.

The left implements its plans over decades and generations.

Conservatives get distracted by various forms of silliness, thereby falling right into the trap.

[Vendome]

Why I’m so surprised. /S

[J Edgar]

please correct me if I’m wrong - but isn't the ultimate motivation for a legitimate parliamentary ruling HISTORY - so if the plan is regime change, HISTORY has little motivational sway - since the new Glorious Regime will eclipse HISTORY!

Your picture lacked IDs. All Socialists look alike.
