Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

“The firm has successfully navigated close elections for Minnesota Senator Al Franken [recounted until it was ‘right’], Washington Governor Christine Gregoire and helped bend [break] election laws in New Jersey to benefit Senator Frank Lautenberg in 2002.”

Great Post!

I read Malkin’s “Unhinged”....enough to make one ill!

[stephenjohnbanker]

They are scum, but this time, their complaint is a joke ;-)

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I could never force myself to finish her book. I kept thinking, “Case closed already!” The left truly is unhinged. Perfect title.

I sat there reading so much wackiness that it made me numb. I felt like a burned out New York cop who’d seen it all.

Desperate Muslims launch ‘Hail Mary’
‘It’s like a drowning person flailing water, they grab on to anybody and drown them’
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=125678
On the heels of a major setback in federal court, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is “throwing a Hail Mary pass” to keep its “Muslim Mafia” lawsuit alive by issuing subpoenas to a prominent counter-terror expert, says a lawyer for the two men who probed the Muslim group’s terror ties in a sting operation.

“The timing of their request is a sign of desperation,” said Daniel Horowitz, representing former Special Agent P. David Gaubatz and his son Chris, who recovered thousands of pages of incriminating CAIR documents meant for a shredder while posing as a Muslim intern. [snip]

“WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists who are U.S. citizens or live in the country legally and plot against the U.S. are just as big of a concern as international terrorists.”

What really worries me is my corner druggist. He is against Obama Care. No telling what he might do. That’s the real hotbed!

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation

The President isn’t taking any chances this time. He is engaging his most radical allies to push through Obama
Care, and you and I are the last line of defense. —Steve

With the final push for ObamaCare underway, the radical MoveOn.org and progressive organizations like Health Care for America (HCAN), and Service Employees International Union (SEIU)are uniting on February 24 - the day before the President’s Health Care Summit to “deliver to Washington D.C., a scream they will never, ever forget.”

According to their site, their 1 Million Voices for Healthcare Reform: A Virtual March on Washington, will include “calls,faxes, Tweets, Facebook, emails, telegrams, balloon drops and carrier pigeons. Whatever, it takes.”

And that’s not all...

Obama’s own organization, the one he relied so heavily upon
to get elected, and renamed shortly after he arrived at
the White House, Organizing for America (OFA) is calling
for its volunteers to pledge 5 million hours to support
members of Congress and candidates who fight for real
health reform!

According to their site, they already have 4 million
volunteer hours!

In the days ahead, there’s no question we are
facing a David and Goliath challenge, but if you’ll recall,
David won against the much larger and imposing giant...

and I fervently believe history is about to repeat itself.

[caww]

Apparently Goliath is now getting ready to step into the arena....anyone sent this to our Gop guys?

In a stunning display of callousness toward the supposed ‘bipartisanship’ the President claims to embrace, Barack Obama has created a new confrontational showdown with the GOP, threatening to pass the government takeover of healthcare by a reconciliation maneuver if Republicans filibuster.

What’s billionaire George Soros doing investing in a tiny company out of Jamaica? Answer: He has found a company that tracks student lunches and is working on tracking: attendance, transportation, grades and welfare payments.
It is becoming increasingly clear that if George Soros makes an investment, there is usually some government backing of the investment in some fashion, and it is generally an investment that is not moving the world in the direction of freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
