LOL! Appreciate your ‘toons’ always.

I think that some Democrats need to be reminded of who may control all the committees next year including the ahhhh…cough..(ahem) ethics committee.
Maybe we could have a little peek at some bank accounts or tax records if you know what I mean.
Pay back is gonna’ suck.

Wish it were so, wish it were so

Knows that Rush would never take the pay cut. However, Ron Paul.. Ahem, DR. Ron Paul would be a splendid choice for the job.

I’m liberal, I support this bill, precisely because I don’t see it as a “government takeover of health care” at all.

(we can agree to disagree)

At any rate the scenario above doesnt frighten me at all because I dont see it as even a hypothetical, remote consequence of the legislation which will pass this weekend.

Perhaps I am wrong. If so, how bad can it be? Rush got pretty good healthcare in Hawaii, so he has seen healthcare from the other side. Plus, Rush is actually a human being, so if he were appointed by president Romney (Palin – just not gonna happen, though I would love to see her run in 2012, as an Obama fan) I’d have to give him some benefit of the doubt that he would do his job and not just try to screw half the american public out of their health care just because the disagree with him. Having listened to Rush fo ryears myself, Im pretty confident hed do his best.

Except that Republicans have never done anything effective in the entire history of the implementation of Medicare or Social Security or Medicaid or The Prescription Drug Benefit or …

Well, I think you get my drift. Don’t you?

Of course these folks are not afraid of what we will do when we’re back in control. We’ll do precisely what we did when we were in control all those other times.

Nothing.

No we can’t. And the reason we can’t is because this bill is clearly the initial implementation of a government take over of health care. This is not conjecture, this is a fact.

What is it with Liberals who can’t even distinguish facts? And what is the point of having discussions with them?

networks would post a body count for the Iraq war on the news every night. I would love to see Hannity or Beck start a body count of their own. When the Doctors start retiring early, put a count of how many people have lost their Doctors becausae of the Dems. As Insurance companies go out of business, put a number of how many people have lost their insurance because of the Dems. And when a child with a disability, or a senior dies because of rationed or denied care, put the number of that too. All of that blood will be on Dem hands and they must answer for it.

Obama Lied – Grandma Died.

is a great post toby. Maybe pelosi isn’t going to get that bedpan because of her age and her position on the death panel list. Great way to look at this. I love it.

against big government – before you’re so eager to give up control to an adminstration you DID vote for, first imagine that same control in the hands of an administration you DIDN’T vote for.

It isn’t rocket science.

… when we take control of congress we can have liberalism declared a mental disorder and commit them all to an insane asylum. Maybe this health care thing isn’t such a bad thing after all.

I would like to ask where do we draw the line with entitlements? Honest question. At what point do you feel satisfied?

Obamacare, you utterly fail to understand the Democrat motivation here.

They are not worried about Republicans (or conservatives) controlling the death panels, because they believe that this legislaton will give them a permanent majority. In their view if this passes wthout any Republican votes, then Republicans will never control anything again.

The creation of a vast new entitlement is the goal here. It has nothing to do with health care — the bill contains unlimited Pell grants as a permanent entitlement, government takeover of college loans, etc.

Losing their Cadillac health care is the last thing these criminals are worried about.

of why the Constitution is a dead document. For those like Obama who believe it is living and its interpretation depends on the current crop of officeholders, what is truly utopian about their views is that they are somehow the final arbitrator of what the law of the land will be.

Every push that stretches the Constitution, means that the next group in office can push it further. The rules become fuzzy and open to emotive interpretation, which also means corruption becomes defensible.

Quite possibly, the next party that rules will outlaw the opposition entirely.

for obama care like that repulsive john Harwood and clueless Carl Quintanilla are in union and not subject to the Obamacare crep sandwich. Ithink they shoud have a running stringat the bottom, to wit…”News announcer is not subject to Govt health care rules”-full disclosure. Over and over.

I seem to recall when the line item veto was clearly unconstitutional under one president but unquestionably not a few years later when a Democrat congress granted the authority to their leader.

Friedman (Capitalism and Freedom) repeatedly warned of the pitfalls of centralized power and changes in those in control:

“Freedom is a rare and delicate plant. Our minds tell us, and history confirms that the great threat to freedom is the concentration of power. Government is necessary to preserve our freedom, it is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom; yet by concentrating power in political hands, it is also a threat to freedom. Even though the men who wield this power initial be of good will and even though they be not corrupted by the power they exercise, the power will both attract and form men of a different stamp”

…

“The power to do good is also the power to do harm; those who control power today may not tomorrow; and, more important, what one man regards as good, another may regard as harm.”

I humbly add “women of a different stamp” and submit current leadership among the not “not corrupted”.

More favorite Friedman wisdom:

“Humility is the distinguishing virtue of the believer in freedom; arrogance, of the (governmental) paternalist.”

The putrid arrogance oozing from DC this week would be a clear warning to an educated, informed public and their responsive representation. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that enough of either exists in today’s America.

He switched from yes to no yesterday, then to undecided.

Let’s support him in his opposition!

And, I love the image of the real Rush as Healthcare Czar!

It will be fun to watch these Dems go down in November and beyond.

Paulson, and GW Bush’s administration put forth a solution to a major problem without having any control over who would implement it. There was a lot of hope that the people coming in would know what they were doing, and would want to do the right thing.

I wonder if Paulson believes his stimulus has met his expectations?
