It’ll finally sink in when Reid and his pals publicly agree with Obama that they don’t care what happens to their next term if they can just pass health care. Of course they don’t mind, since once they have the bill, they will have established themselves as life-long nobility with a separate and unequal right to life itself. Your very right to life will be in their hands from the moment of conception until they think you’ve served your purpose. Why would they worry about which duchy or fiefdom they’re appointed to after they’re voted out of office under those circumstances? Any appointed position they get if they’re will be far better than any elected office is now. They know from history that people who can have their lives taken away at the whim of the commissar or plantation owner will fall in line with any bribe and any demand they make. Which demands will your refuse when it’s your child, wife, or parent, in need of medical you know is available but have been told you don’t merit?

There are huge piles of evidence that at least since the eighties democrats have received massive foreign funds for their campaigns. Far, far, more evidence than there is for anything democrats have slandered republicans with during the past fifteen years. In spite of the mountain of evidence, the only thing being investigated is whether the CIA used harsh language when investigating terrorists. Not terrorist suspects, but known terrorists capture on the battlefield, terrorists who like the Japanese in WWII do not abide by or even acknowledge the Geneva Conventions. That exemplifies the kind of “fair”, “honest”, “responsible”, and “caring” government the democrats always have run and always will. It’s no accident that once illegal contributions became the norm for the democrat party that the democrats from Chicago came out on top. It’s the inevitable outcome of and proof of what the democrat party has become at all levels nationwide.

Obama cannot go much longer without having either a breakdown or a public display of his madness, so Reid and the other top dogs know they have to act fast. If they don’t win this one, they probably lose their last chance to own the entire population; and make no mistake they would own everyone even more than they now own those poor souls who were born on the welfare plantation and have never known any other life.

yes people do get paid to do what you do…so, please don’t assume everyone is as ill-educated as your constituency.
Just simply ask…how is it that people show up at events with professionally printed signs when the other side doesn’t? Does that mean the other side is far more sophisticated in their thought? But you’ve spent the last 10 years telling all and sundry how smart you are and how stupid the other side is. Seems like a disconnect to this unsophisticated thinker.
oh well…

Reconciliation has been used in the past, mostly for tax cuts. While healthcare will effect the budget, this reform is primarily being used for more government control. Trying to use it now would not only be a misuse of power, it would be suicide. But typical Liberal moral equality…they did it, we can do it too. How ’bout using it to lower taxes?

Regarding 2012, not sure what the Dems will run on. High unemployment, high deficits, Afganistan, the Porkulus Spending Bill? Only thing they have are negative ads. Republicans would be smart to counter that tact early, with ads that say “Dems are going to run negative ads because that’s all they have left.” A smaller government campaign, using revenue to determine the budget rather than setting spending goals trying to find a way to pay for it, will be just what the country is looking for. Let’s remove the Czars and return government to the people.

Seems to contradict Madison’s words doesn’t it?

Nice try but that was neither the intent nor the meaning of the clause. Here is what Madison and Jefferson said in their own words on the aforementioned General Welfare clause. Do you want to dispute the words of the authors of the Constitution themselves?

Madison:
“With respect to the two words “general welfare,” I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.”

“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions.”

Jefferson:
“Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.”

That was worth reposting.

I think this is the first sign the teabaggers have not picked up the slack after Whole Foods lost it’s more wealthy and more educated progressive shoppers. Maybe it’s time for another Mackey op ed bashing Obama Care.”

I suppose jharp doesn’t think that a P/E ratio of 40 on a $30 stock in the middle of a sharp overall market downturn this week has anything to do with it. Nah, it was purely the purchasing power of the “more wealthy and more educated progressive shoppers” flexing its political muscle in a boycott only a couple weeks old.

Hmmm…must have been a lot of “teabaggers” in there the other day at my local Whole Foods, ’cause the place was PACKED. Or could it be that their typical shoppers aren’t a bunch of angry fringe lefties?

jharp might be able give a tip or two on trolling message boards regurgitating far left talking points in an incredibly obnoxious manner, but I would not recommend taking any financial advice from this guy/gal/whatever.

But if you really are an American and even have a faint glimmer of love for this country, Reconciliation is a horrible idea for a bill of this magnitude. I really fear for this country at this moment in time. If Reid is stupid enough to try this, what little faith the American people have left in Congress (and today it was reported that it has reached a 24-year low) will be totally gone. If the Democratic party wants that as their epitaph, then have at it boys! You will drive the final nail into Congress’ coffin by forcing through a bill that is supported by less than 40% of the population. Good luck ever getting re-elected with those numbers. And remember, bills can always be repealed, no matter how complicated they are. I know this is like whistling in the wind, but if Reid and the liberal Democrats really cared about this country, they would scrap this monstrosity of a bill and start all over again. But they won’t do it. They are following the liberal holy grail of “free” healthcare for all and now that it’s so close to coming true, they just won’t be able to help themselves.

And that, my friends, will spell the end of them for at least a decade to come. Bank on it.
