As people suffer more and more and have more time living with their parents/siblings while jobless they will have plenty of time to contemplate who is at fault for the distaster…and the democrats know this. If this passes, which I don’t expect it to, they will be bigger fools than I imagined. The fact that this is being framed as BO’s Waterloo in paralell with building momentum against the bill, is outright great fortune. His ego is too big to admit to himself that he’s wrong on anything, so he’s emotionally and personally trapped. He isn’t self reflective enough to wisely retreat for better timing. This may cost him a second term. Course, he’s also caught in the fact that if he’s ineffectual in reality as POTUS, then that also affects his chances of a second term. I’m giddy.

I agree with EPU in the fact that we must not waiver now and not relax. Let’s at worst stop this afront to our very basic of Freedoms and at best overrun the entire democratic army in a rout. Let’s keep up the pressure RedState.

I have read this in other websites. BO seems to be more the turtle on the fence post. He is a true believer, mind you, he’s no kindhearted Tsar who if he just knew what was going on…you know the rest. He is at best book smart. It was not lost on many people that he had 1 million dollar plus night on the town with his wife on the tax payer dime. Obama is more akin to Marie Antoinette than Napoleon Bonaparte with his political instincts.

While we may be able to stop the advances and perhaps define his high-water mark, we will face many more battles before we could talk about his power being broken. Especially since we’re the side with inferior strength at this point.

I do think that the situation is somewhat different now however. It is unlikely that the economy will improve like it did in the 90′s, and I believe that Obama does not have the political instincts of Bill Clinton is to wedded to liberal ideology to reinvent himself as a centrist.

I think handing him a defeat on healthcare would be extremely gratifying and damaging, not to mention good for the country, but I think that all this talk of the Waterloo of a presidency that is only six months old is a little silly.

I cant stand her, but she’s a feisty old plastic hag. I think she’s posturing for confidence and momentum. But she is dogged and the House Dems are wimps.

We need to rally all Republicans and pick off some endangered Demcorats, deficit hawks and pro-lifers.

But this deal is dead. It is dead because almost all 535 members of Congress will be going home for a large part of August.

Please please PLEASE let me be wrong!!

So, even if Obama does win, he’ll have spent significant portions of political capital to get what he wants, and he won’t have enough left to do anything for a long time. And we all know that even if the bill gets passed, the cost won’t stay at $1 trillion, it will climb and climb, eventually disgusting just about everybody except for Obama and Democrats. That will be his downfall and the end of Democratic Terror regime.

Bambi’s Asculum was Porkulus. He is bogged down with Crap-n-Tax halfway passed, and his political capital has already been drained too far to win with BambiCare.

He’s done. D. O. N. E.

Which doesn’t mean we sit back and watch it happen. It means we rally and overwhelm the whole Democrat Army.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re going to destroy Obama once for all.

The American people want to see some economic growth, job creation, and fiscal reponsibility before getting loaded up with a $2T entitlement program.

Their timing is horrid.

The latest Obama crackdown is taming “an unruly blogosphere” —the next nail in the coffin of the First Amendment through government control and censorship. Obama appoints someone who believes government ought to “gently force people to be better human beings.”

We are now swimming in dangerous waters.

However, I keep hearing that the fact that Obama and the dems are forced to slow down on this is a good thing. I’ve got to disagree. With Obama & Co. force feeding this and pressing the August deadline, the American people are cautious and tired of hearing him and there are Dems on Capitol Hill that are questioning it.

My fear is, with them slowing this down, it gives those pushing this the opportunity to calculate and revise the bill in such a way that appeals to Dems who are wary and unlikely to vote for it now, and, heaven forbid, they’re able to pull some from our side with some watered down “bi-partisan” version.

It’s a dangerous time right now, and I pray that we who oppose this disaster-in-waiting continue to fight and fight hard till we have none left in us and the idea of government-run health care is a lifeless corpse on the House floor…..

The people have already heard about what is in his bill and they want nothing to do with it.

Next summer, Congress will be concerned about their own arses. Next fall, they wont even be in session.

In some form, the Dems hoped to accomplish Universal Health Care, Cap and Tax, Amnesty, Card Check, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell reversal and more l before 2010. Never going to happen. Not even close.

My one quibble is that we should make this Obama’s moment. If we make this a Republican versus Democrat moment, we may galvanize party loyalties and push some wobbly Dems back in line. We can win, but unfortunately, we can’t do it alone. We can smash the Dems with it in 2010 and 2012, but before the vote we probably shouldn’t being throwing stones at the pro-life Democrats and the budget hawk Democrats that we will need to sink this legislation.
