‘Twas the Eve of State Health Care
What they said ’bout the bill was just lie after lie,
Many wouldn’t support it, and this explains why
They turned to Ms. Slaughter, who took time to note,
That they’d “deem” it a law without taking a vote.
They’d rely on the bill that had gone through the Senate,
Then promised repair (not that they really meant it).
Our dear Constitution they’d turn on its ears,
But they hoped that somehow they’d save their careers.
The American people were fit to be tied,
What about unemployment, the jobs that have died?
What about all the other things you’ve tried to manage,
Like Medicare and FICA, with trillions in damage?
Their emotions transformed into true righteous rage,
At the bill’s loss of freedoms its passage presaged.
New burdens on businesses, families, and workers,
That only might help whiny fakes and tear-jerkers.
They knew their well-being would be second to money,
That “just take the darn pill” was not even funny.
While they saw its supporters on so many channels
Praise what they knew would soon lead to death panels.
The clergy and faithful were late to the game,
Their fetal concerns were important but lame,
Compared to the nightmarish loss of control
Over life-death decisions because of “the whole.”
This weakness gave statists the room to create
A fig leaf of “concern” that might yet save its fate.
If it becomes law it is so sad to state,
That pro-lifers weighed in with too little, too late.
So we’ll lobby and call and send e-mail and faxes,
Objecting to bloat and the myriad taxes.
But it might become law because we didn’t see,
That it’s really about whether we’ll remain free.
A happy health care to all,
and to all a good night!
Obamacare should, if the American people have any intestinal fortitude left, end for many, many decades the power of the Democrats.
The Tea Party Movement is dead! If they can’t mobilize in mass demonstrations in the streets tomorrow then it’s over, kaput, adios, sayonara. A flash-in-the-pan movement. I really thought we the people had something going last year but the silence from the TPers over Ocare is deafening and disappointing.
Well done. I woke up this morning reminded of the horrible conditions discovered at some of our military hospitals and worry that this will be the new standard for all. The current bills are disasters in the making. I am going to agree with Fred Barnes’ article earlier this week, that if this is passed or deemed or another type of trickeration, I am comforted that it will never get out of court challenge to be implemented. Would someone please tell the Prez that we do not share his socialists views and we are not going to stand by as he tries to impose socialism on us, whether it be health care or redistributing from those who create value to those who do not.
How many former Democrats are there like me who have been relatively polite in our criticism and restrained in supporting the other party? I support expanding access and making health care more afforable for everyone. Make no mistake, if this health care takeover is accomplished, you cannot how imagine how hard I will work to defeat every person in every state who deemed, voted, and helped to cram this down the throats of the public who did not want this. And please, don’t pretend you are listening because you aren’t. But there will be a time when you will have to because your utter disdain for the American people is a short term strategy.
I suppose nothing is more trite than parodies of Night Before Christmas. If you ever feel the urge again, please suppress it.
#4 +1
#4 & 5: Trust me, your comments are far more trite.
Hellth Care morelike. Politicians selling our children into slavery.
2. What do you call what happened Tuesday?
SCARY……
Is this REALLY our AMERICA??????
Know the TRUTH about the Government Health Care Bill H.R.3200 – Key Points
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcBaSP31Be8
The highly destructive Cap and Trade. An inferior health care plan that no one wants and cannot afford to pay. The threat to jail and/or fine those who don’t purchase the government enforced plan. Massive spending as if there is no tomorrow. Massive borrowing. Massive debt. The massive printing of paper money. There is no question that the total DESTRUCTION of America’s economy is planned. The results will be horrifying. In the once wealthy and great nation of America, millions of Americans will become destitute, hungry and homeless with no money or resources to help them.
OBAMA: DEBT UNSUSTAINABLE
Obama Says U.S. Long-Term Debt Load ‘Unsustainable’
By Roger Runningen and Hans Nichols
May 14 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”…

Obama admits the terrible financial destruction wrought against Americans. WHY then DOES OBAMA NOT IMMEDIATELY REVERSE THIS TRAGEDY?
A major investor states America is going to reach Zimbabwe hyperinflation.

Tea Party silence?….You have not been listening.
If this monstrous bill call reform passes, the repercussions of this will be felt thoroughly by November.

From town halls and tea parties,
there arose such a clatter.
Santa Obama said “That doesn’t matter.”
Then laying his middle finger aside his nose,
He exclaimed, “Screw you rich bastards, I won, you know!”
Power to the people:
