Right. There is no moderates in either party. They are all socialist liberals or Rino democrat light.

It’s not just the individual mandate, it’s government telling companies what they can and cannot cover.

This is all a another sham by the rats, that clown and the garden knome were going to vote for it the whole time. If the pubs stay united and I’m not counting on it, the rats own this economic disaster all by themselves. Its a joke that he caved over the what pot the money comes from.

The states were already doing enough of that themselves. Single men being forced to pay for maternity coverage and breast exams and stuff. Its silly and stupid.

Now its going to be much worse.

In a way you are right. It wasn’t the base that caused this mess because most of us held our noses and voted for the lesser of two evils. What we lost was the average American voter who voted for Hope and Change.

However, it shouldn’t have come to that. Washington needs a cleaning out on both sides of the aisle. lots of blame rests at the feet of the Republicans for us ending up here. They confused “Republicanism” with “conservatism”.

They did nothing conservative and they started spending like drunken sailors knowing the base would still support them because they had an R next to their name.

No. More. I can’t come to voting for another Rino next time. No matter who runs for Vice President with them. I’ve had it.

You apparently are one who is stunned!

Anyone who would fall for a politicians promises and/or BS. That’s what is stunning.

ACTION! That is what I want to see. I do not see the Republican Party holding or sticking to life-long American values.

The majority of Republicans on Capital Hill are ‘Liberals in Republican Clothing’. AKA ‘Republicans in Name Only’, RINO’s!

Why? Because this will say one thing for their sound bite and then do exactly the opposite.

1/3 to 1/2 of the Republicans in the Senate fit this description to a ‘T’. The House has a similar make-up at the present time.

The Republicans and the GOP has no backbone at this time. They are now the “Go Along and Get Along Party”.

Should that change I will be one of the first to stand up and tell them well done. That is not the case today. Or last week or the week before. And I could go on.

The Nat’l Party has the gall to send out a survey asking Republicans what they think. Along with a preprinted portion for sending them money. I answered the questions, check the box and wrote in my specific thoughts on each topic/subject.

I also gave them my two-cents on their belief that they are entitled to people’s money to pursue their cause. Until they show their cause is mine, not one red cent. Believe me the way this Congress and Administration are going we will have ‘red cents’ and Lincolns picture will not be on them.

I’m a mad American. Mad at a party that stands for issues are similar and in lock step with the Democrat Party.

Until they stand up for America and it’s citizens and the Constitution ... they will receive my wrath. Along with anyone who is standing beside them.

Including you if you are there. My bipartisan ‘Alpha Charlies” will reach across the aisle too!

The only spirit of bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle I see on this are those who would criticize Republicans as well as Democrats on this. Stunning...really stunning.

Thanks so much for the lame staw man fallacy. I don't trust any politician.

We currently have all Republicans voting correctly and we currently have all Democrats voting incorrectly.

As I said:

The only spirit of bipartisanship and reaching across the aisle I see on this are those -- such as yourself -- who would criticize Republicans as well as Democrats.

Stunning...really stunning.

No only all Democrats voted for this the destruction of America, all Democrats Senators, all 60 voted to start debate and to end debate.

I knew Democrats would all vote for this government healthcare ,Amnesty, etc. I knew this on last election day. Also years ago I chose the name democrat_media to show that democrats control the media and are the threat.. Many of you “conservatives” don't have a clue of who these people , the democrats are or of the rules of the Senate,that with 60 votes the democrats have a virtual dictatorship as Democrats can ram anything down the American people throats ANYTIME they want. Democrats are all Marxists. This debate has all been an act. Next on the script is Amnesty.And the democrats/Marxists have government healthcare to offer the 100 million illegals and their families back in the third world to solidify the socialist/marxist takeover of the United States.

.

Many of you “conservatives” also don't have a clue about basic politics. The Democrats control 60, 60% of the votes in the Senate so it doesn't matter what any Republicans Senator does or says as the Democrats can cut off debate and force a final vote any time they have 60% of the votes which as anybody that understands Marxists knows that this was settled on election day. Mark my words:Amnesty is next. Say goodbye to the Republic. Say goodbye to your purchasing power. Say hello to empty supermarket shelves as is happening in your socialist Utopia of Venezuela. It is unbelievable to me that many “conservatives” here are blaming elected Republicans when not a single Republican Senator voted for this bill but every Democrat Senator did when they needed the 60 votes to start and end debate. There are no moderate Democrats. they are all marxists and so are all evil incarnate and all they do is lie. Republican Senators like Coburn, Demint, Republican Sarah Palin ,Republican congressmen like Tancredo, Pence etc. are all conservatives who believe in America are for limited government and believe in God and American values. These Republicans are not Marxists. Get a clue you anti-republican "conervatives" . It is Democrats alone who are destroying the Republic. Republicans did not increase the number of government workers in the 12 years they controlled congress so Republicans did not advance socialism. Get a clue. We need Republican Sarah Palin to save us. We need Republican Tom Tancredo to run again and save us from the hundreds of millions of 3rd world invading hordes. Long live the protector of the U.S border, the defender of faith and freedom, Long live REPUBLICAN Tom Tancredo!

here is a post of mine from a while back. Many other freepers also knew this was all theater

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2408479/posts?page=12#12

Democrats/Marxists want to legalize illegals so that they can
create millions of new Democrat voters. After the elected
Democrats/Marxists/liberals ram through government healthcare then
Democrats will ram this Amnesty for illegals down the American
people's throat.

The Democrats/Marxists know that elected democrats are 60% of the Senate so they know that there is nothing Republicans can do to stop them.

The fix is in . All this “debate” between “moderate” and liberal
democrats is all an act. Democrats are all Marxists. All elected
Democrats always knew they were going to vote for government
healthcare. So they know they will all vote for Amnesty as that
guarantees democrats to get tens of millions of new voters, the
illegals and their families back in the third world.

Then Democrats/Marxists/liberals will cripple the private sector
further with Cap and trade. Also Democrats will silence Rush,
Hannity, Levin with the Fairness doctrine, and silence the
Internet with Net Neutrality.

They , all elected Democrats/Marxists, know this script.And they
know that there is not a thing that Republicans, conservatives, or
the American people can do to stop them.

Then the private sector which is the engine of wealth,jobs, high
living standards and freedom will be crippled. And the
Marxist/communist/Democrat takeover will be complete without
firing a shot.

And millions of liberals are cheering this destruction of the
golden goose , the private sector, and of America. But it is they,
the liberals who will be starving in the street in the new
Communist People's Republic of the United States.

Liberals in the media and liberals everywhere, Enjoy your sick
“social justice” and few meager scraps you will steal from the
productive for now as tomorrow you will starve in the streets and
you will be slaves of the government.

Also you anti-Republican “conservatives” enjoy starving in the streets as you helped the liberals achieve the elected Democrats insurmountable 60 votes in the Senate.

Long live capitalism, America, and freedom. This will not stand, us the men of freedom will not allow it to. I promise you that.

Long live the protector of the U.S border, the defender of faith and freedom, Long live REPUBLICAN Tom Tancredo!

For Democrats/Marxists to do this on Christmas, on the day the Creator chose to descend to the Earth as a man, shows the evil of that these Democrats are. May God punish them in hellfire for this direct attack on freedom, on the American people, and on God.

To hell with you Democrats/liberals/Marxists.

You liberals, and you anti-Republican “conservatives” enjoy starving in the streets as you helped the liberals achieve the elected Democrats insurmountable 60 votes in the Senate, a virtual dictatorship.

Long live capitalism, America, and freedom. This will not stand, us the men of freedom will not allow it to. I promise you that. May God give us courage.

This bound to happen,AMERICA is a hindrance towards globalism and the anti-christ take over of the world. Our only hope for AMERICA is for all citizen to repent from our sins and pray for our country. We are in the last days as the Bible says and this world we get darker and darker....time to receive JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR.

As for 2010, democrats will not relinquish their power they have all the money to stay in power. OUTLAW ACORDN AND SEIU but how..............
