We won’t let people forget.

We’ll discredit him.
Lampoon him.
Expose his deceit.

When the little bstrd is out of office, we’ll pressure our people to investigate and prosecute him.

Just like the leftists wanted to do to Bush.

That, of course, is working off the Clinton model of triangulation. That presumes two things: (1) Barack Hussein Obama is able to move to the center to pass things like Clinton did (welfare reform, balanced budget) and (2) the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the USA (pure snark, for anyone not familiar with my writings), has someone smart enough like Dick Morris advising Him.

There’s been no indication whatsoever that this is the case. If anything, He may position His Marxist ideology against congressional Republicans. In that case, it’s Game Over. A wipeout of Walter Mondull proportions.

…that this isn’t about him?

House Democrats are demonstrating to the public that there are very few leaders in the party but there are a lot of self-serving cowards.

little o wants to transform the US into a European leftist, socialist country where he is at least a semi-dictator, and he cannot do that with Republicans. He is working so frantically now because he knows there’s a 20-mile backup on every road into DC where more thousands are coming to work against him.
The window on his adminl. is closing.
I doubt he thought ahead enough to manipulate mass reaction against his commie academic programs to make people elect Reps. so he could run against them three years from now.
He thought he would have this healthcare morass with no sweat by July of last summer. It’s just there he thought really wrong.
But he is dangerous and needs to be gone ASAP.

than about what’s good for the American people.

In other news, Firedoglake has the whip count at 217 No’s, including leaners. 204 are in favor and 10 are unknown.

Or that that is Obama’s calculus, followed by Dems destroyed at polls which enables Obama to run against the Republicans in Congress and win a 2nd term??

I’m not convinced of any of the above other than that there will be a Dem slaughter in Nov. whether Deathcare passes or not. I’ve heard the argument that Obama will have an easier time of winning a 2nd term with Republicans in control of Congress. I’m not convinced of this either. He’s now despised by a huge percentage of this country and that will not ever change. You never get bloom back on a rose. If Republicans do take Congress and act in accordance with conservative and liberty-loving principles, the Drive Bys may spend 24×7 trying to destroy them but they’ve already become discredited.

None of this calculus even takes into account his next moves, if Deathcare DOES pass — Shamnesty, Cap & Tax, taking over the oil industry and numerous other industries, etc.

I’m sure Obama is very calculating and selling all the Dems down the river, but narsissistic sociopaths have a different version of reality than the rest of us and their calculus does not figure in things like the American people staying fired up and continuing to fight their every move.

I don’t think it can be overstated how sick to death this entire country will be of this con artist fraud long before the end of THIS term – whether that’s in his calculus or not.

He’s really quite incompetent, having gained most of his “experience” as a part-time statehouse hack.

Other than threatening people with sex scandals and handing out goodies like they do back hom in Illinois, he has no clue what he’s doing. Remember, this is the same moron who thought he could just meet face to face with Ahmadinejhad and straighten everything out.

Only with a few caveats.

1. He is a convinced Man of the Left, who believes in the virtues of a Guided (Command) Economy to fairly distribute benefits to all.

2. As someone rightly pointed out, he is not half the politician Bill Clinton was, so he will not tack to the Right to get to the Center.

He will use the Republicans as foils, up to the point where he will try to force a Government shutdown as Clinton did. Put nothing past him. Dishonesty and lies are his stock in trade.

They will get booed out of every place in this state!!!

I think he’ll get his Republican majority. And yes, if he doesn’t triangulate, it probably won’t matter. I can live with no socialized healthcare, a Republican majority starting in 2010 and a one-and-done Obama.

The jobless recovery continues, and businesses will now be more reluctant than ever to resume hiring. They heard all too well the other day as Pelosi began babbling about all the other things the Dems want to do. Faced by increased taxes and burdensome regulations, small businesses are not about to begin creating jobs.

And in my opinion, that’s when this Health Care monstrosity will begin truly begin to damage Barack Obama. Should this pass, he’ll get about a two week bounce. But the narrative that will emerge during the balance of this year is that of a President who went after a personal “trophy”, and neglected the country’s economic problems…..the President who fiddled while the country burned. Each time an abysmal unemployment number is released, voters will wonder why their President has spent his first two years, doing nothing about “the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression”……his own words.

And if that weren’t enough—-and if there were ever any doubt—-Obama will own the country’s debt and deficit problems after tomorrow, for good. No more trying to blame it on Bush, especially after an $800 billion stimulus bill and a $2.5 trillion govt. takeover of health care…..all in one year.

I don’t see any way Obama in 2012 pulls off the kind of reelection Clinton did in 1996. No way.

any Republican that can unite these 3 components can be Obama: fiscal conservatives; national security conservatives; and social conservatives.

The latest PPP poll out today shows: Romney 28, Huckabee 24, Palin 23.

Goodness even California is in play with Tom Campbell leading Boxer 43 to 42 now in the US Senate Race for November.

Details of the PPP poll are here:

Let’s kill this turkey first.

It’s rather instructive that Palin is facebooking all the harm this monstrosity will do in the Here and Now. Good on her.

Let’s deal with 2010, okay?

and that because we take over the majority, we compromise with Obama OR we get blamed for things getting even worse. wouldn’t it be better if we came right to the edge of winning back control but didn’t? then the argument still holds that the Dem Congress and President further pushed the country into the gutter, which is where it’s going to go no matter who is in charge of Congress.

Call Lorretta Sanchez (CA Dist 47) She is on the fence!

Those of you who think that the Democrats are going to be worse off this fall after passing this bill are sorely mistaken. I understand that you all are 100% against this bill, but don’t you think that Democrats would be in much worse shape if their base was depressed and disheartened after failing to pass legislation that they strongly care about? I just don’t see the logic in saying that passing this bill will make things worse for Obama.

I still think it’s clear that Democrats are going to have a very tough time hanging on to seats this fall, and likely the house will be taken over by Republicans. But passing this bill gives them something to run on, something to say they accomplished, whether you like it or not.

If Republicans end up being right about premiums promptly skyrocketing after passage, then perhaps things really will be disastrous for the Dems. But if people start to be able to get coverage that they couldn’t get before via the elimination of discrimination regarding pre-existing conditions or if premiums fall, you might be looking at a different picture. Either way, if they do nothing, they are toast. I think more and more Dem’s are realizing this, and it’s probably a large factor in why it will likely pass tomorrow.

As far as I’m concerned, most of those in government these days are cheaters and liars, republicans included. I am hoping there are a few left who do care about the people they represent, and I don’t doubt that there are a few democrats AND republicans who fall into this category.

I don’t want to see small businesses excessively taxed. As I understand it, state based exchanges and federal subsides will have the potential to reduce costs up to 50% for small businesses that already offer coverage. That is supposed to be one of the first effects of the bill.

The pre-existing condition language also starts this year.

This is according to Christian Science Monitor:
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0320/Health-care-reform-bill-101-How-long-will-reform-take

Just saying, there are people will start to notice some positive effects this year. If the plan fails and the taxes you describe start to cripple businesses or individuals – they will outweigh any positives, and Dems will pay for it at the polls.

When we factor in the next terrorist attack ( excluding the recent two, and one attempted), this will do him in. I mean the people cannot be that ignorant as to forget that we have been safe up until his 1st day?

You could very well be correct Erick, but may I add one more thing?

The American people are being conditioned to think in a certain manner. The people are beginning to get used to his mug all over the place all of the time. His lying rhetoric while it makes US say “what”?Is being accepted by people. If people listen to him long enough for the next 3 years, he will seem acceptable.

One example: Did we ever have a poll by any polling company ask a question such as ” Do you think the Democrats are doing everything to block president Bush?.., No, but that very question is asked on polling questions regarding the current GOP and president Obama. What is acceptable today would never have been accepted in the past… ever… even with the msm cheering him on. He very well could be re elected because the people are being conditioned to think a certain way.. Let’s hope we can counter the thought process..

Jeff, if you really would like credible analysis of the health care proposals go here:

http://www.heritage.org/Initiatives/Health-Care

This organization is one of the best on the planet. They anaylyze all major legislative proposals including assessing the CBO data whenever it is released. The reason I suggest them to you is because if you have not been studying thiis matter, it is not something to be seriously explained in a venue like this. People here have already studied the matter extensively, and thus can categorically refute statements such as “the Bill is budget neutral” or “the Bill reduces the deficit,” statements often stated as fact but they are not. Of course, you can also look at the CBO data by going to their site and reviewing their analysis which is always thorough but rarely presented in full by the media. In addition, you have to be aware that the CBO only responds to request based on the information given to them by legislators. This is why they always explain in detail the vast assumptions corresponding to their assessments.

In short, I can state categorically that this Bill will cut Medicare $400 billion, increase the deficit at least $237 billion, and cost at least $2.3 trillion over 10 years, at at time when the US is already $12 trillion in debt, running $1 trillion average annual deficits over the next 10 years, and by 2019 willl be paying interest on the deficit of over $800 billion a year. This will bankrupt the country. It is financial and economic madness. And the foregoing does not include the unfunded liability for social securiity, medicare, and medicaid, which are already bankrupt. People forget that any time the Government spends money it has to take it from somebody who earned it. In our case, it’s individuals who work and earn income, and businesses who employ them. The problem with socialized medicine is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.

Health care costs problems can easily be fixed without destroying the country. Here’s how in short form:

1. Interstate competition among the nation’s 1,300 health insurance companies
2. Expansion of health savings accounts
3. Tort reform
4. Create “risk pools” for high risks patients with no denials of coverage
5. Create heath insurance purchase pooling for small businesses
6. Allow insurance companies to sell catastrophic insurance plans

Sorry but I do not have time to go into detail on all of these almost no-cost solutions to the nation’s health care problem. But Heritage has already done all of the analysis on these and other reasonable solutions.

Please observe that none of us likes the cost of health care, and that all of us want everyone to have health insurance who wants it. But, you don’t destroy the heath program for 85% of the people for the sake of the other 15%. You solve the problem for the other 15%, without negatively impacting the 85%. I do hope you visit Heritage.

Erick is like the old generals who always fight the last war. They keep thinking in terms of what the enemy did last time in order to figure out what he is going to do now. Obama’s handlers know this. The radical people pushing this agenda are very patient, very smart, very well funded and MOST importantly are without conscience.

Some of you keep trying to assign your rules/feelings/culture to their actions. Then you find what they are doing makes no sense. We had that problem when dealing with terrorists in the Middle East. It took years and the deaths of thousands of innocents to realize we were wrong. Yet, many of our “intelligentsia” still runs with old notions, because like old slippers, they fit comfortably.

Seriously, do any of you really believe the Middle East terrorist problem is linked to the Palestinians? Really?

Also, do you really think the vote on healthcare, going on right now, is down to one vote? One? With all the drama, all the problems, all the anger, one vote? It is like watching professional wrestling. All show. You would think a plan that taxes people for four years without one benefit seen would be poison for normal politicians. That experience will make a lot of people really angry for a long time, so why do it that way to solve their claim of a “healthcare emergency?” We all know now.

My suggestion is simple- Stop. Stop. Stop. Quit assuming this or that, quit trying to justify or reason out why they are doing what they are doing by using “what I’d do in this situation is…” bull. Just stop. Take a breath and realize two things; 1. You aren’t them. 2. They are not operating by any set of values or principles you would either recognize or approve of, period. It is just that simple. They do what they do because they can. You let them or maybe you just can’t stop them anymore. In society, momentum matters. (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain that to the victims of a crime. Criminals don’t make it personal most of the time; they are just feeding on those who can’t protect themselves. The radical left sees you the same way- you are food for their agenda.)

Once again let me remind you what I’ve been saying all along and what explains why Jews climbed up on cattle cars in Germany taking them to their deaths, why Chinese dutifully re-located to factories instead of staying on their farms while starving, why it took generations before the honest anti-war protesters from Vietnam realized they were duped-

“The hardest part of being inside a revolution is one of perspective. You simply cannot get far away enough to see the whole picture!”

The people in charge of this effort know this. They have known this since Lenin and Mao. They studied it, practiced it, refined it, and planned around it. They know. It is you all that have trouble realizing how bad it is. It’s not your fault, you are good people, trying to live a good life and raise good children. But confusion and chaos lead to defeat. As long as they keep you chasing your tail, they’ll beat you- every time.

There are so many different moving parts at so many different levels in this effort that you simply can’t keep up, especially if you bog yourself down with old concepts. Even my MENSA bright buddy suffers from this. At some point he simply locks up when trying to describe why they are doing what they are doing. He claimed early one the left can’t govern. Yet, as we approach the vote today, I find he is right and wrong. They cannot govern, but they can rule by threat and intimidation quite effectively. There would be no way this gets through if any normal rules of politics were in play. Maybe it gets defeated, but even if it does it won’t go away.

So, you have two choices. One, remain in your comfort zone and remain confused and ineffective. Two, start to think like a revolutionary and react accordingly.

Do you think that you can win by keeping to the old rules if people like this are in charge of your future?

http://truthandcommonsense.com/2010/03/20/alcee-hastings-sees-no-problem-in-breaking-the-law-he-shouldnt-as-a-judge-he-was-impeached-for-doing-the-same-thing/

Alcee Hastings is talking about the rules. Here is his quote- “We make them up as we go along.” Hastings just told you that while you all are running around on the field, doing your level best to stay inbounds; he and his buddies are jumping outside the lines and scoring by cutting through the cheerleaders and past the Gatorade table!

He is not alone. The entire group driving this agenda has been following that one rule for two generations. Why do you think your kids are poorly educated? It really isn’t that hard to teach kids the basics, like our nation is a democratic republic and can only survive if its citizens are well informed and willing to sacrifice and do their duty to the following generation. No it is not. I learned it, my dad learned it, and some of you learned it. But not anymore. Why? It was not by accident.

In addition, the left also learned a very valuable lesson from Florida in 2000. Since then they have positioned key players in state offices that will ensure any close election will be turned in favor their democratic candidate, both at the state level and the federal level. Norm Coleman lost because he tried to play by the old rules and the democrats in Minnesota didn’t. Obama was elected with money that came from places we all know were suspect but because he won we will never know who, where or how. In Washington, a close race was turned in favor of a candidate with a hand recount that “discovered” enough ballets in favor of the democratic candidate so that she won.

Here is Wiki’s link with a fairly accurate account. It was a lot dirtier.
http://en.wikipedia.orgwikiWashington_gubernatorial_election,_2004

I’m not going to beat a dead horse here. But the sooner you all stop thinking that we live in a cleanly operated Democratic Republic immune from revolution and corruption, the better for all of us. I suggest you get a piece of paper and a pencil and ask yourself “What would it take to create the environment where Obama could win again, and again, and again?”

Remember, Obama is either one of two things. A cardboard cutout that is being used by a group dead set on undermining this nation forever (and they are darned near that goal) or a man who is willing to do what it takes to remain in power for a long, long time. Either answer is bad. If he is the former then he’ll be kicked to the side of the road by his own people when his negatives get so bad he hurts them. And he’ll happily do it, because as the first black President, especially if during his term he manages to push through an FDR styled program, he’ll go on a circuit that will make him very, very rich and guarantee him and his family a place in the upper strata of America’s new government/public sector for years to come.

If he is the latter, well just remember what Hastings said, “We make the rules up as we go along.”

Read the book.

In addition to his tack to the right, Clinton also had repeat third-party candidate Ross Perot syphoning GOP votes away (sound familiar: “Hope & Change”?), although weakened from 1992 when he made a personal crusade to defeat GHWB, and a wuss as an opponent. Dole was a throwaway and a “loyalty payback” for his years of service to the GOP.

Watch to see if the Tea-Party throws a third-party candidate into the fray. That would really assure BHO’s reelection.

If the republicans play it right, Obama will have to veto resulting in one of two outcomes. The people will vote him back in but give the republicans in congress the 2/3 majority they need to override him or they will vote in a republican president as well. However, after seeing what the dems did this year, it is hard to see the people wanting to vote in a republican pres and congress. Of course the people didn’t pay attention to what then Sen Obama was really about or they would not have voted in a radical socialist or progressive. Nothing like hope and change. I also don’t think that it has sunk in to the public mind that, yes it was on Bush’s watch, but it has been a democrat congress since the 2006 election. Too bad Pres Bush didn’t use the veto pen.
