It makes me laugh like there is no tomorrow!

…come to think of it – there may not be.

Now I am depressed.

Anyone have any popcorn they can loan me?

right now.

Well when he was a Senator, his prayer was pretty forceful.

“. . . Senator Biden said, ‘I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don’t make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.’”

I love it. Hypocritical braying jackasses, revealed.

They’re trying to make the argument that this is apples and orange, but listen to the underlying philsophical argument Obama makes regarding the nature of the Congress:

“What I worry about would be that you essentially still have two chambers–the House and the Senate–but you have simply majoritarian absolute power on either side and that’s just not what the Founders intended.”

The President’s Health Care Proposal: Trying To Get Blood From A Stone:

These videos are talking about getting rid of the filibuster as a tool of the Senate. The Democrats are talking about using Reconciliation to pass Health Care Reform, like it was used to pass S-CHIP, COBRA (R=Reconciliation), Medicare Expansions, and Bush’s tax cuts for the richest Americans; just to name a few.

The poster is confusing filibusters and reconciliation. We’re all entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.

Then move on to a power point (Al Gore style) of how a Canadian Premier came here to the land of “broken health care” for care last week because he didn’t want to die waiting for Government health care in his own country – or die from an archaic procedure because their doctors have less experience (because care is rationed):

from there we can move onto the question of how Mr. Obama can call the end point of the Senate Bill (minus the Cornhusker kickback, plus a couple more add-ins) equals a starting point for a “bipartisan conversation.”

After that I think it will be a demo on “How many clowns can you fit in that car?”

See this video and this one.

The really interesting part is where she started off saying how she thought the rule should be changed when she first joined and was in the majority. Then she brought out that giant easel trying to show how Janice Rogers Brown was “out of the mainstream to the extreme.” Look who’s talking, ma’am!

I can see this as a national ad right now. It would be brilliant.

And end the ad with this:

‘Are these the type of people you want running your country?’

‘This November, vote Republican…’

For ObamaCare that is:

CNN: 73% Say Start From Scratch (48%) or Stop Work Completely (25%) on Health Care Reform; UPDATE: 52% Oppose Use of Reconciliation

That 52% against reconciliation to 39%.

Heh, heh, heh.

I really hope this video goes seriously viral. I sent the link to my parents and many others. Let’s keep their feet to the fire on this blatant hypocrisy. The Dems need only listen to their own leaders, five years ago, to do the right thing. What an embarrassment this reconciliation thing is. Just a naked grab for power at the expense of their own long term interests.

will center on “we can’t get universal health care because of the minority in congress and so we will work with the minority to craft a bill that fixes what is broken without completely taking over.”

There’s a problem with this. No matter how many times they repeat this lie, it is not believable.

I want to hear our representatives tomorrow counter these lies and point out that mandating we the people enter into a contract is unconstitutional. We have the high ground on this, and the people are already on board versus taxation, rationing, abortion. Unconstitutional mandates should be a chorus that rings throughout these proceedings. Make it a debate on the constitution, and watch the collectivists implode. They are defending the indefensible. BE the party of NO!!!!!!!!!

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

Dem sites have video and quotes from conservatives defending the nuclear option back then. Both sides have done a 180, so its tough to pin it on one side with impunity.

The key is that all the major players for the Dems are still in high positions of power. The GOP players are not. Bush and other GOP leaders are gone. But Obama, Clinton, Reid and Pelosi are on top of the heap. That’s what makes it potent. But conservatives need to be careful. We have not been consistent either.

wanting to it is what they wanted to do it for and for D’s it is the ATROCITY that is obamacare is HATED by the American Public and they will let each and every Democrat that votes to have this monstrosity passed that it has become time for them to GO HOME!

…both show how little they understand our Republic.

First, Dodd completely misrepresents why we have a bicameral legislature, suggesting that the House was for “majority rule” and the Senate was supposed to act in greater consideration. This is totally not the case. The Senate originally acted as the representation of the State Legislatures, while the House acted as the representation of the People. This was changed by the 17th Amendment (which essentially negated the need for a bicameral legislature).

Then Max Baucus proves he doesn’t know the definition of “democracy,” which is “popular government” aka “majority rule,” the very thing he was railing against at the time.

p.s. I hate how even the dictionary now defines “democracy” in terms that actually define constitutional libertarian government.
