Brazen and smug about it.

You forgot "shameless" and "arrogant". Funny how they're everything they falsely accused George Bush of being.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote:

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny;
when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

Obviously this government does not fear the people.

We’ll soon find out if the people fear the government.

They will only remove the sweetheart deals they made with the last 9 democrats in the Senate, since they still need 50 votes.

They will replace those deals with special deals for the last 9 votes they need to buy in the house.

Obamacare — the best health care government can buy with your tax dollars.

As was said by a very wise Rush Limbaugh a year ago, Obama’s words expire 5 minutes after he says it. That famous exchange with McCain at the summit is now invalid.

"The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present."

- Machiavelli

No concern whatsoever about impropriety, constitutionality, bribery.

How can healthcare deform survive a constitutional challenge when one state is exempted from participation and the other 56 states have to pay for that state?

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE

1-800-828-0498 , 1-866-220-0044, 1-866-338-1015, 877-851-6437, 877-210-5351

I just listened to the Senate Press Conference of Thune, Demint, Coburn and Wicker. At the 13:34 mark, Dr Coburn dropped the bombshell that the will go straight to Court if the Democrats try reconciliation without it first being passed into law. All four are former House Members.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excellent news that all 41 GOP Senators have pledged to do all to stop this attempt by Dems to circumvent the Constitutional requirement that the Bill be signed into law prior to reconciliation.

We have a group of Republicans in the House and Senate fighting as hard as I have ever seen them fight to stop Obamacare. The House Republicans are vastly outnumbered but that hasn’t stop them from putting up a valient fight and actually getting Dems to join them.

This may be the first time I ever saw a group of former House members who are now Senators send a message to the House Democrats that basically you are screwed if you listen to the Senate Dems that they can fix this bill because they cannot.
