Obama write it down and sign it, like Hugo Chavez does.

I love you.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

You’re the only blogger who gives me any hope that passage of this bill will not occur. This has been a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns happening almost every minute, it seems. Now, the Dems are talking about passing…a shell bill? I look forward to your thoughts on that. Hopefully, you’ll write about it soon, since they want to vote on this next week. Thanks again…

Is Vice-President Biden stupid enough to reverse the decision of the Parliamentarian?

Well said. Great post. Concise, articulate, and clever. My favorite—the banana republic comparison. Priceless.

The Dem leadership may not realize it yet, but this process is dead, unless they find some unethical underhanded way of proceeding (and don’t be surprised if they do). They are so arrogant they believe that this is a cause worth destroying the constitution over.

As for Biden…never question his level of stupidity.

Thanks Dan. I really enjoy your writeups.

Get mad. He is still at 46 %.

that will send a letter to your representative and the 58 Blue Dogs. You can edit the letter to your fancy to each – Hugh’s aiming for one million letters sent this week (over 500,000 have been sent so far).

I think we should help Hugh out. Plus it’s fun. How about it?

there will always be AT LEAST 44% who approve of Obama.

to a bunch of my friends from high school. I’m AMAZED at how many of these folks are now staunch Conservatives, 30 years after we graduated (one of them thinks Rush Limbaugh is too liberal…..)!

Anyway, several of them are quite happy to read what you have had to say on this subject -

which is a whole lot like Charlie Cook’s view:

You helped not only lower my blood pressure but I do beleive my hair has stopped turning gray.

According to Matthew Continetti and Paul Ryan.

“Why move ahead when the votes aren’t there? Pelosi hopes that launching the process will create enough momentum to flip Democrats her way. The clock is ticking. The speaker has two weeks before Congress breaks for Easter Recess. And the recess could kill off health care reform, since many of the wavering Democrats will get an earful from their constituents when they return home. Republicans expect Democrats to lose votes over the break.”

I believe that Pelosi, Waxman and Obama are going to be making major deals and giveaways over the weekend and early next week. Apparently, there’s a lot of stuff they can do that isn’t evident or won’t be obvious.

But, even if this doesn’t pass, I would think the Democrats would just want to get beyond this. It’s dragging everything they do down. Why would they want to prolong this?

Your posts are regular reading for me, and I forward it on to many friends who always ask me to “send on any articles by the Health Care guy.”

(Yeah, I know, Yahoo is pretty much all in for this from the way their stories slant) I noticed that the comments were largely negative with regard to the bill itself AND that the “thumbs up/ thumbs” down rating counters show a 2.5+-/1 approval of negative comments, and a 3/1 disapproval for positive comments.

I’m hoping, against my better judgment, that the Dems will learn from this. Then we won’t have to go through this again with Cap and Tax, “Immigration reform”, etc. I have no doubt though that we’ll be ready to thwart any more subverting of the Constitution they have in store.

I think very salient your comment that:

‘the public eventually gets really very angry, and starts doing more than breaking windows. Something like this could persuade some that it is just not fair if only one side plays by the rules’

I am personally ready to break windows. And more. But I don’t see a lot of folks in this camp, which troubles me. I get the feeling that while people’s hair is turning gray and whatever else, this is still sort of a ‘well, we’ll vote against them next time’ sort of exercise. I have a problem with that, because I think this is a tipping point for our democracy. If the Marxists shove this through, and we don’t fill the streets to whatever degree necessary and physically (if necessary) stop this, I think we have reached the time that many founders predicted that a democracy has a limited life. Our country and our constitution cannot survive the results of this bill. A very good comment by some pundit recently said that if this passes, non-Marxists may be in office, but they will never again be in power. That says it all, and that’s why the Marxists are willing to die for this.

If there is sufficient public ‘bodies in the street’ reaction to a negative outcome here, and if the Reps are smart enough to petition the SCOTUS timely, it will give SCOTUS the confidence to stand up for the constitution.

Look… I get it that a course of action that I describe could turn our lives upside down. But I have personally seen what people in the USSR and Eastern Europe were willing to do to throw off the yoke of dictatorship. I was there, I have an adopted sister who grew up there, and I witnessed it. Just a bonafide. Are we not in the pivotal time now where we must make a choice ? This is real life. If we don’t fight it now, we either agree to control over our lives, or we will fight it later, when the fight is much worse.

So I request that we all consider what is at stake here, and to what degree we accept the challenge of the founders regarding the preservation of democracy and a government that governs with the consent of the governed.

It is very likely decision time, shortly. Sleep on it.

Until and unless Nancy gets the count she wants.

From this perspective, the longer they delay the better.

Nice nation, while it lasted,
This lack of judgment respect and leadership will inevitably lead to much worse decisions
Our ‘leadership’ is too busy dissipating our national wealth and sensibility to make good choices.
We are in grave peril of stumbling into a major war we are not prepared for.

I feel like you just gave me a re-assuring night-night kiss on the cheek. Now I can go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow’s installment of the saga will bring the complete imploding of Obama’s Hellcare.

I feel the administration is trying to tire us out. Otherwise this repeated trials don’t make sense.

otherwise they would realize that it wasn’t just about WMD!

It’s enough that the people know there was an election -
The people who cast their votes decide nothing -
The people who count the votes decide everything -

Worst case, if Obamacare passes:

1. Implementation is scheduled to be largely delayed (part of the attempt to minimize calculated costs).

2. Legal action will delay implementation.

3. There would be widespread protests.

4. Liberalism is given a bad rep that will last for a decade or two.

Then, in 3 years, we simply undo it. Lets not fall for the Marxist ploy of believing that we can’t reverse movement in the Socialist direction.

Though we laugh at the idea today,in its day, witch burning was a supremely rational act.

There were special tribunals duly enacted by statute; There were rules of evidence; there was a manual of court procedures, the Malleus Maleficarum, that was scrupulously followed. What we know now that they didn’t know then is that there are no witches!

And don’t get the idea that thees trials took place in some dark age. Witch Burning reached it peak in the scientific age of Newton, Liebnitz and Hooke.

Before you cavalierly dismiss the witch burning trials as an aberration, consider the idea that a century hence, a new generation, looking back at our politics and ideologies, will give out time its own chapter in the newly revised, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.

it may be we are approaching the time to water the Tree of Freedom.

Based on my research, legislation can be passed without a recorded vote. Such a non voteing procedure would be binding on no one.

Pass the bill.

See:

http://www.mail.com/Article.aspx/money/business/APNews/General-Business/20100312/U_US-Health-Care-Overhaul?pageid=1

“President Barack Obama delayed next week’s Asian trip on Friday to seize on suddenly improved prospects for his sweeping health care legislation, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi forecast final passage of the overhaul in days.

“It’s going to be historic,” she said as House and Senate leaders and the White House reached for final agreement on the measure.”

And:

“Pelosi spoke with reporters after a closed-door meeting of the Democratic rank and file, a session that she said left her feeling “very exhilarated” about the prospects of passing the legislation.”

At what point do we forget about calling this trickery or “stretching the rules” and call it an abrogation of our system of representative government?

Or can centuries of protection against unbridled majority rule be simply overturned by a determined cabal of legislative leaders and the President/Vice President able to round up a simply majority in both houses to go along with overturning all prior rules and precedents.

We had the “Friday Night Massacre” that sealed the doom of the Nixon administration; whenever this passes, we need to call this the “[day of the week] Slaughter” and memorialize the day as a “Day of Infamy”.

One or two of his group has flipped according to national review

Very interesting stuff.

Regardless of whether the “Slaughter Solution” is constitutional and regardless of whether the Slaughter Solution complies with the statute about reconciliation, still the Slaughter Solution would not really help wavering House members, IMO.

They cannot avoid the consequences of approving the Slaughter Solution: Obama would then sign the Senate Health Bill into law, and the Senate could then reject the Reconciliation Bill. Pelosi has admitted as much:

So we will pass the Senate bill. Once we pass it, the President signs it or doesn’t, it’s – people would rather he waited until the Senate acted, but the Senate Parliamentarian, as you have said, said in order for them to do a reconciliation based on the Senate bill, it must be signed by the President.

He doesn’t add them up, but lists them in categories as to how persuadable he thinks they are based on 1) public statements about the bill, 2) how McCain did in their district, and 3) their pro-life voting record.

they schedule a vote they’ll have the votes. My understanding is that hey won’t even have the reconciliation bill up for 72 hours before they vote. Surely then they have the votes.

Think about it. THe Dems aren’t talking, which means they are likely to cave and don’t want the public bugging them. Stupack’s coalition is falling apart.

I think were done.

This talk of “burning” congress is way to reminiscent of the ploy used by Adolph Hitler in his climb to power. He had the Reichstag building burned.

I see far to many parallels between Hitler and Obama and the last thing we should entertain is doing his “job” for him. At this juncture burning and mayhem in Washington District of Corruption is premature.

If there is a substantive effort on the part of the Obamaites to disrupt the election process and thwart the will of the people in either the 2010 or the 2012 election then it is time for some “blood in the streets”

I know I have a more than uncomfortable feeling that with literally $Billions in a Stimulus” slush fund and ACORN, the New Black Panthers, and the Farrakhan group Nation of Islam, to name but a few, are alive and well that the election could very well be in serious trouble.
