If you think that this is a bit long at 3:30, well, it has to be: they need a big hunk of time to let the names of all the ‘conservative’ Democrats currently unsure if they want to follow the President over the cliff of health care rationing. Via Hot Air:
Rep Price’s message was simple, as all good messages should be: this is the Democrats’ bill, and they can pass it any time that they want to. The truth is, of course, that many of the Democrats don’t actually want to – and never mind what Rahm Emanuel is sort-of-kind-of-not-really claiming about how it should clear the House next week. I will not pretend that their motives are pure, of course: most of them merely wish to keep their jobs and sinecures and junkets secure. Plus, of course, they’re raking in the money now from affected industries… which is of course their privilege, but I do have to wonder whether they’ll be taking money from the DCCC, too.
Actually, I don’t wonder. They will. And the progressives will complain, fulminate, and ultimately sit still for it, because that’s what they do.

nessa (Diary) Friday, July 24th at 2:21PM EST (link)Sir, Here is a link to a message from Representative Tom Price. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vPPTMZoGCM
In it he discusses Obama’s attempt to paint Republicans as strawmen, holding up passage of the government take over of health care. What I found interesting was the scrolling at the bottom of the screen, listing “Blue Dog” democrats who have recently spoken out against the current version of health care reform. Why isn’t your name included on that scrolling list?
I know I am not alone when I say I would very much like to see you add your name to that list.
One of Rep Tonko’s aides is being reported saying “probably the best part of the bill is the increase in Hospice care which will solve the prolonging of life issue.” It is not, nor will it ever be government’s responsibility to decide who lives and who dies in this Nation. If you are in favor of this bill you are in favor of that policy and everyone in our district will know you stand beside Rep Tonko.
Come out strongly and publicly against it!
“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

What if I Don't Care About Uninsured?
Spartan4Life (Diary) Friday, July 24th at 2:32PM EST (link)Does that make me a bad person?
I hope not because after thinking long and hard about it I have decided I really don’t care that they don’t have insurance. And, more than that, I am offended that I am about to be forced to buy it for them. I consider myself to be somewhat compassionate but I am having enough trouble paying for my own insurance to where I don’t really want to be forced to buy someone else’s.
This is un-American.
It's even worse than that
bk (Diary) Friday, July 24th at 2:54PM EST (link)How do working people like the idea that they’ll be paying insurance for an illegal alien who might be ahead of them in line for the doctor, or ahead of a family member on a transplant waiting list.
On gov't contracts employees are given SCA Fringe...
nessa (Diary) Friday, July 24th at 2:56PM EST (link)Service Contract Award, the fringe is $3.16 an hour for the first 40 hours of each week. This is required when the employees are not entitled to Health Benefits as part of their salary/benefits package. That’s $126 a week or roughly $505 a month. It’s intent is to allow the employees to purchase their own health insurance. I know one who does.
