Yes, I certainly hope passions cool… and thereby lure our opponents into a sense of complacency. Nothing like “politics” to dampen the emotions, eh??

LOL!

I mean, the jerk is out there daring Republicans to repeal his baby. And he’s trying to sell it to everyone. And it ain’t workin.

Our best resource for beating Obama and the Obama agenda is Obama.

I once read that Obama fancied himself a card player. He must suck. I see this ‘I dare you to repeal’ thing as a bluff. So obvious. And we’re gonna call it.

History indeed does show…not complacency, but resignation…does set in, and that is part of the plan.

But right now, they are trying to bolster the backbones of the Dems. They are trying to convince them that they didn’t do anything wrong, actually making them turn even more inward and insular.

It’s part of a plan, which, i believe we can do something about….if we can get only a few Members to join in.

but he didn’t drown. That was the title of an article I saw somewhere. It pointed out that Obama, being the narcissist that he is, because he didn’t drown with Obamacare, he will only become even more delusional with himself, and his plans to transform America. He and his Progressives could care less if they lose Democrat seats in November, those dang Democrats will toe the line. I don’t know what’s on his agenda next, but, I’m hearing that immigration must happen this year in order to insure Democrat votes in November. He promised the Congressional Hispanic caucus that it will happen soon, in order to keep their votes on healthcare. Sure, among the voters, passions may wane concerning Obamacare, if he stops talking about it. But, once again they will be ignited, just as passionately, against amnesty. The guy can’t help himself. He Won. And, he himself will keep Obamacare on the front burner, he is still trying to sell it to the 65% of the population that want no parts of it. I don’t think that passions will die down. I think he will incite those passions to a boiling point.

but rarely in matters of life and death. Not to mention the cramdown was done against the wishes of a significant majority of the people.

also potentially offsetting impacts.

On the risk side:
1. With little of Obamacare taking effect this year, except some of the “feel good” provisions, Dems can hammer that the sky is not falling, and that all the doom and gloom was manufactured.

2. The economy will likely continue to modestly improve. We will probably see some small employment gains in months to come (although I think those will be severely tempered by companies that hold back while they evaluate what Obamacare will do to them). Obama and MSM will trumpet from the mountaintops about the success of his economic agenda.

However:
1. Regarding health care, Dems will have little to show this year in the way of tangible progress except for the talking points they’ve had all year. Meanwhile, we will continue to see a slow trickle of reports unconvering various hidden stories about the bill (understated costs, unreported provisions, etc.). Just this week we found that children were NOT fully protected from pre-existing conditions clauses, despite Obama using it as one of his main talking point, That’s a big oversight. Wonder how many little ones there are.

2. We are not out of the economic woods yet. While employment numbers might slightly improve, the unemployment rate is not going to go down much from its 9.7% rate. Bond ratings companies are whispering about lowering the US bond rating because of the ocean of red ink on our books (talk about something unprecedented).

3. Buoyed by ramming this through, I wouldn’t expect Dems to sit still for long. They will evaluate for the next couple of weeks and see what pollls say (although consensus seems to be that while Dems were re-energized by health care passage, huge majorities of Republicans and solid majorities of independents are still against it). They know November is coming and if they want to ram something else through, they are running out of time. I’m not a betting man, but I think they will try something we’re not focused on right now, where the battle lines are not clear. Won’t be cap & trade. That’s a loser for them. Won’t be immigration. That’s a bigger loser for them. Further financial reform could be a candidate. They can have success with demonizing financial institutions to build support.

There is a world of difference btwn the two and the propaganda machine knows it. Their moronic leaders have done the unthinkable and run roughshod over the people who gave them their current jobs and pay their enormous salaries.

In their hubris, they crowed to one another and celebrated.

They never really thought the people would object and speak out as we have done. After all, they believe their own propaganda. The people will obviously be grateful for the um…fornicating… they’re gonna get, because they like the free balloons.

They are still living in the heyday of the propaganda machine, when cronkite was “the most trusted man in america.” The people have Fox now. The people have talk radio now. The people have access to the open – for now – idea exchange online.

The one thing that terrifies tyrants is – and I know I’ve said it before – THE PEOPLE KNOW.

Between now and november 2nd (220 days, I think) we have the ability to do what we could not do before. They are not filibuster proof. We can keep them on the defensive. Even if the social-democrats think the people will forget, we won’t let them.

Of course, we’ll be helped by the fact that barry won’t shut up and like most lefties, he won’t be able to conceal his contempt of those who dare to disagree with his obviously profound “superiority.” All 62% of us.

Besides, they outrage is not about an entitlement program from misguided social-democrats. It’s not. It’s about how they have declared themselves immune to dissent and above the Constitution. They have, over the deafening appeals of the people, redefined the nature of our country, preferring to sweep away over 200 years of American identity, rendering us what we were when George III was on the throne – subjects of the government.

THE PEOPLE KNOW. We know what they’ve done and we are not the silent majority anymore. We have taken to the streets to speak the truth and we will not be silenced. Let them fabricate stories of racism or sexism or violence – they are going down. We are taking our country back.

And if any of you is thinking that the goodies get distributed before the bill comes, it ain’t gonna happen. Look at how fast they run form the truth of the newly endowed police powers of the IRS – they practically wet their pants at the mention. And there are 2700 pages of this monstrosity! We could introduce an obamination of the week and still be going strong in 1013!

Besides, the first enema is due in September when the first Medicare cuts hit. They can defend them or they can postpone them, but they can only postpone them if the Republicans let them.
I don’t see that happening. It’s not only the left that’s sweating over november. They wouldn’t want to face a primary challenge.

And let’s not forget, we have got a good shot with the Supremes. By the way, has anyone heard if they’re exempted? If not, I don’t imagine they’d be eager to take one up the …shall we say exit ramp? for the team
