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.
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Old Claude Pepper of FL bellered "Hands of my Medicare" until the House repealed what was actually a pretty good law, signed by President Reagan, in just a couple of days!!!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.....
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.
I have been thinking about what the Democrats did tonight. I have never been so mad in all my life for them passing this but I am actually glad they did pass this HC legislation. Let me explain. The American electorate has been in a drunken stupor for so long. We have what we have in office because nobody is feeling any discomfort.
After the American people see what was passed and what it will do for their quality of life, it will finally get people to act because they will see their quality of life plummet. The Democrats have no idea what hit them last Tuesday and they will have no idea what will hit them in November of 2010. This is their attack on Pearl Harbor and you know what happened to Japan after this act.
They are so arrogant and blind that they think this is a victory for the left and their power. This vote was the beginning of the end for the left and the Democrats. We need to continue to pray, fight and act. We will prevail. We will takeover again this gov’t “for and by the people.”
Yup, and social security and medicare are now bankrupting the federal government, and this subsidized health care bill will do the same thing if it passes the senate. Get ready for much higher taxes to pay for all the massive entitlement spending on low-income people and affluent seniors. Prepare for much higher taxes in the next decade through higher income taxes, higher sales taxes, increased interest rates, and much higher inflation when the Fed will have to keep interest rates too low to keep our economy running at top speed and generating maximum tax revenues to pay for entitlement programs. The hidden tax of inflation will be stealing 4-7% of your income and your financial assets every year if you don't invest in hard assets and hedge against inflation.
Pelosi and her henchmen need your income and your assets to pay for these massively expensive programs that they believe in but cannot get the people to pay for at the present time. The cost estimates for this bill passed tonight are an absolute joke and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. This legislation is sure to end up costing at least 50% more than the current estimates for the next ten years, just as medicare has now cost over 20 times its original cost estimates.
Do we have a roll call on the 220 yet?
