just saw pelosi on foxnews describing her “victory”. I honestly believe she has lost it. she’s bonkers.
But but Steny said this wasn’t about the democrats - it was about the american people.
That JACKASS Jerry Rivers must have something running down his leg he’s sure excited about the bills passage.
Michelle might hate her country, but I hate my government, and especially the leaders of our once great country! How they can be so arrogant as to go against the American people is beyond my comprehension. They are evil people, and will be gone their next elections!
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. It is time for us to do what is says...
Old Claude Pepper of FL bellered "Hands of my Medicare" until the House repealed what was actually a pretty good law, signed by President Reagan, in just a couple of days!!!
This isn't over with YET!!!
Time for Texas to secede?
The fat lady in the Senate has not sung yet.....
i thought jerry was a little excited, too.
It was indeed a victory for the Democrats--but the sort of "victory" for which King Pyrrhus became famous, almost 1,300 years ago, in his conflict with the Romans.
Any of the "Blue Dogs" who represent swing districts may be in trouble just one year from now, if they voted in favor of this government takeover of healthcare.
Rekon it is.
ha, we were almost assured it was dead in the water friday, that they would not vote on it saturday. when I listened this morning they said they worked late night friday i knew the fix was in. some folks will wake up monday morning wondering wtf happened. I hope they pass the cap and trade too maybe that will wake up enough idiots.
I, for one, will refuse to acknowledge whether or not I have health coverage on my tax returns [I’ll take the 5th]. I will refuse to pay any fines or penalties. Let them pay to put me, and keep me, in jail.Ditto on proposed taxes on my guns, and Fed. registration. I intend to be a dead drag on the Federal government on every issue, every step of the way!
I’m done obeying the law. Hopefully, as after the Civil War, I can say, G.T.T.
That this thread isn’t 500 posts long already, filled with outrage this has happened saddens me. I’m afraid this attack on freedom of liberty is going to be foisted upon us against our will.
:(
Who cares about next year’s election? They’ve already won.
And you will lose your right to vote.
