At 7:16 a.m., the Senate passed on a 60-39 party line vote a sweeping health care bill that will tighten insurance regulations, provide insurance for 31 million more Americans and cost $871 billion over the next decade.
"This is for my friend Ted Kennedy, aye," said Sen. Robert Byrd as he cast his vote.

Write your “reps” and ask ‘em where those who won’t pay will be imprisoned.
Write to your local papers and ask them about it.
Write to your local news stations and ask them about it.
Pelosi said that it’s just to have that punishment.
Quote of the day! ;-)
Time to “Palinize” the bill...lawsuits for every jot and tittle...every day...make ‘em own it.
I, for one, am no longer reluctant. And I don’t need the lame excuse for Rep leadership to do what needs to be done.
EVERYONE in DC is at fault. And so are we for electing these corrupt whores.
Tar, feathers, blood....
“Does anyone know if there is a way to organize a class action suit to block this?
I will be the first one to volunteer time and as much as I can afford in money. I think there is potential to draw more than enough participants to make it affordable on an individual level.
No joke, no sitting on our hands acting pissed off. Is it possible? Any experts available for comment ?”
You know, this is a violation of the Am with Disabilities Act. Along with the due process, isn’t it? And, with preferential treatment of people in certain states, that is a violation of the civil rights of every protected class, is it not?

I am so sad; I just want to cry. Goodbye to my America....
“I cannot wait for the next couple of elections!”
Do you really think we can elect a veto proof, fillibuster proof majorities to Congress that will have the guts to repeal this?
Seven states have ACORN affiliated secretaries of state. They will never certify such elections.
Just wait till they cram amnesty through in 2010, tied with a rigged census poll...
all as the final EFF YOU to the independent and moderates that put these communists in office.
I am certain this is their end-game and why they push this communist crap with such arrogance. They know that with amnesty, they become untouchable rulers.
Remember this holiday season to get in the face of a liberal/leftist. It has been playing nice that got us into this situation.
The God that gave to the world and history our Founding Fathers and the system of liberty that we all enjoyed, is not happy about us allowing that liberty to be destroyed by tyrants...even those like Reid who use Jesus to cram communism down our throats.
Don’t count on it. Remember how all those female dog liberals in the House whined about how the bill they passed did not cover baby murdering? What did they do? They voted for it anyway.
I know. I’m just hoping against hope that this still can be stopped. Dr.Demento (Howard Dean) has said it should be scrapped and started over, albeit for different reasons then you and I want. Hopefully, if this can be forced further into 2010, the Rats will be focused on the election.
Question: if one or three Dim Senators were to have skiing accidents while on winter break (not Christmas, of course), would this force Nanzi to ping pong the Senate HC “Reform” bill directly to Hussein, or might it cause real problems for the surviving Dims?
“Write your “reps” and ask ‘em where those who won’t pay will be imprisoned.”
Gitmo. That’s why Obama never closed it.
As I said elsewhere, when asked what his object was, Karl Marx stated, “To dethrone God and destroy Capitalism.”
Cramming Socialist Medicine through on Christmas Eve was by design, to glorify the objective of their God: Karl Marx.
I am so going to vote these bastards out in 2010 and 2012.
Viva the 2nd American Revolution!
Count me out! It ain't the Constitution that's broken.
Count me out! It ain't the Constitution that's broken.
I just knew this was going to be my last Christmas as I know it.
Son of a bi&*hes!!!!!
“What’s next...?”
Look forward to immigration reform that will make all current illegals magically LEGAL. 0bama told the world that NO illegal would be covered by the healthcare crappola. To make good on his promise...he’ll make them all LEGAL! VOILA! Problem solved and no lie to the people.
This crap has got to come to a screeching halt. It’s time to take back the country.
Even the reported numbers are conservative. Far more than the reported 60% of us want this stopped.
There are some brilliant individuals reading the Free Republic, surely there is some sort of organized effort that can stop or at least slow this enough to make it ineffective.
If all we do is sit around a whine, the current momentum will continue. We are looking at blatant disregard for the will of the people. This is all laid out in black and white in our fundamental law.
Surely there must be some way to organize and defeat this. Hell, even a large portion of liberals are smart enough to oppose this damn mess
As Winston Churchill famously said, never, never give up.
While the darkness appears so immediate for our Republic, we must continue fighting. Fight on, fight, fight, fight.
Regardless of what Reid put in the bill, any statute is repealable. No Congress can “bind” future Congresses on what it can/cannot do.
This bill is massively unpopular with the people. We have them on our side. It is our duty to make these arrogant SOBs pay at the ballot box in November. We also have to legally challenge the law at every turn.
States are already gearing up for a fight. If you get enough states saying screw this, we’re not playing this game, then we have a real shot at getting this defeated.
This is not over. As Churchill said, this is not the end, it is not the beginning of the end, it is the end of the beginning.
Fight on Freepers.
