It’s done.
The democrats just passed their nationalized health care bill.
Pelosi just announced the bill passed.
Democrats cheer on the House floor after taking over the nation’s health care industry.
Liberty died to thunderous applause.
U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, released the following statement regarding the passage of a 2,000-page health care bill in the House of Representatives:
“This 2,000-page bill goes in exactly the wrong direction: it means higher premiums, higher taxes, Medicare cuts, more debt & huge new health-care costs for state taxpayers. Instead we should start over and go step by step. Specifically, we could start with small business health care plans that would lower premiums, cover up to 1 million new small business employees, and reduce spending on Medicaid.”
God help us.
Drudge reported on the bill earlier–
PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail;
Failure to Comply, 5 Years in Prison...
Final vote could be delayed Sunday or beyond...
And, democrats just took the first big step to cramming it down our throats.
More… President Obama acknowledged today that he and Bill Owens pulled a health care fast one on the voters in NY-23.
Legal Insurrection has a first take on the passage of the nationalized health care bill.

I’m assuming it’ll pass in the Senate, too, and become law. But that doesn’t scare me. We’re in uncharted political waters now. Anything can happen. I never counted on this being stopped by our politicians, because almost all of them are in it for themselves. I always expected that it would become law, and then there would be a political earthquake that would result in true reform on a level that we’ve never seen.

Anyone who thinks we can just “undo” this bill in a few years is delusional. Name one government agency that has been eliminated or reduced in size in our lifetime? ( well except the military under a democrat).
As soon as Republicans try to “unpass” the bill the opposition will trot out all the crybabies who are going to die without their rightful government insurance, and will proceed to paint conservatives as uncaring and greedy. Look at Britain. The only thing that conservative politicians there can do is try to argue about who is going to spend less to provide the public with more. There is no politician who can ever say we are going to provide the public with less period. Ain’t ever going to happen. We are Britain now.

Cao isn’t going to get re-elected anyhow. He replaced Cold Cash Jefferson, and he’s not likely to win re-election next year in a very Democrat district.
Plus his vote came after they already received 218, so I believe Cantor told him to go ahead and vote Yes to try to win support from the democrats in his district. But it won’t matter.

There are seminal moments in the history of America–none of which find their origins in DC. The momentous changes that have permitted us to survive, and prosper, have been brought about in spite of the political prostitutes in DC.
Will this be one? Very hard to say. My gut tells me this vote took the pressure off the Senate, and they will fold their tents, and ultimately approve this Bavarian Fuster Cluck.
It is not like this is a sudden occurrence. It has been coming for years, and many have ignored it–never imaging that it could happen. Well–now it has.

Manateespirit, it doesn’t matter if the politicians paid attention or not. All that matters is that the electorate be fired up, which it is.
Nationalized health care won’t work, and we can’t pay for it. That will ensure that if it becomes law it will be repealed. Keep in mind that even though the mainstream media is still in total cheerleader mode for Obama, support for his policies is cratering. The truth about him is becoming apparent. That means people are doing their own research.
This bill is full of draconian new restrictions, penalties, and taxes. The public opposed it before most of them knew the specifics. Now that it’s been passed, we’re going to find out all about it. If it becomes law, the electorate will not shrug its collective shoulders and passively accept a lower standard of living.
Instead of being afraid, get angry! Take back control of our politics. As Obama himself strongly advocates, never let a crisis go to waste.

We will Repeal this bill, if it passes the Senate, in 2013. The House will be flipped to Republicans in 2010, but may not have the 2/3 numbers to override Obama’s veto. If Romney, or Pawlenty, or Palin is elected in 2012, America will rise from these ashes. The National Republicans need to ORGANIZE the most targeted and central-networked strategy in history to elect as many conservative Republicans as possible. The democrat strategists will be hoping that our attention is so divided up among the many republican campaigns, that we cannot come together on campaigns and fundraising like the Hoffman campaign. Republican and Conservative national strategists need to build a CENTRAL website, that spotlights key canidates that are lagging, and at the same time focuses on ALL of them as well. They could ROTATE the canidates that are spotlighted to maximize national attention on all of them. This strategy would help to network the local canidate’s supporters with national campain donors and supporters. The Republicans need to build the most talented team in history to flip this house next year. If they are not already gaming this out, they best get with it now.

You’re wrong. This is not politics as usual – and millions of people are seeing that. Just because something has never happened before doesn’t mean it won’t happen. There will be a whole new breed of Conservatives taking over the government who will be able to do the right thing. Who *will* do the right thing because they will have been sent to congress to do right or get fired. This bill will be repealed! But it’s going to take a lot of work by a lot of people — and a lot less whining about the democrats screwing us over. Paybacks gonna be a real, cast-iron bi*ch.
And, as for everybody carrying on about this: why? We *knew* it was going to pass. We knew that the democrats would ignore the people and ram this sh*t sandwich down our throats. It’s not a surprise, by any stretch.
After the way that the democrats mocked and reviled the tea party participants, did anyone *really* expect them to pay attention to the message that we were/are sending to them? In their arrogance, they actually believe that they are untouchable — and it’s up to us to show them just how wrong they are.
And it’s got to start now!! We have to start supporting the right people to run – and WIN in 2010. We have to fight the democrat machine and all its tangled arms; which, together, form one of the most formidible opponents we’ll have to fight. And we’ve got to be willing to get our hands just a little “dirty”. We can’t let them do what they did in ‘08 while we try to play all sweetness-and-light. We’re going to have to get right down in the mud and the blood and fight the miserable creatures where they live, using their tactics and outding them at their own game.
This fight is a long way from over, people. Don’t start going wobbly because of one setback that we expected to happen anyway.

All the Dems who voted No after they had 218 need to be identified; theirs were votes of political expediencies. And they all need to be voted out of office by resounding margins.

Bastards just mortgaged our future.
Remember this, because the voters in this country have a severe case of short-term memory. Vote them out. All of them!

I, as a Republican candidate, promise to do everything in my power to undo EVERY dastardly thing that the democrats have done to undermine this extraordinary country and its providential Constitution.

Cao from Louisiana–now THERE’S a guy with a PAIR!
If HE runs for President in 2016 (after Obama’s second term ends), I just might vote for him.

Hey I have an idea. Let’s go to the White House and pull out all our signs that says the same thing……. Barry/Obama show us your REAL birth certificate. You think the media will print/air it?

“Obamacare was pass while Americans where in mourning over the Fort Hood Muslim terrorist attack.The democrats where serious about never letting a good crisis go to waste. They know no shame.”
Which would be a really good point, jonyjoe, if the House vote hadn’t been scheduled for today last Wednesday–and if the Fort Hood massacre hadn’t happened on Thursday.
Oh yeah, it would be better if you were LITERATE, too, along with being informed. “Were” is not spelled “where.”

Winning strategy #2 for flipping the House and Senate in 2010: Talk to as many union members as possible, and ask them for once, to vote for their Country instead of voting democrat, like their union bosses pressure them into. The most vulnerable voting bloc is the union vote, and Rahm Emanuel know this and HOPES that we don’t go after it agressively. If union members start defecting in the polls in 2010, and go with the Republicans, Rahm and Obama KNOW THEY ARE FINISHED. We are NOT going to convince radical feminists and gays to vote Republican. It is a waste of time. Focus on the union members and minorities.

Who’s lamer, the conservatives blubbering about how this is the end of everything, or the liberals sticking out their tongues like children?
Me, I just want people to be sober. Is that too much to ask? Are we living in an era of universal melodramatic, narcissistic TV-overstatement now?

I want to be optimistic, but Gramsci is proving himself a prophet of the first order.

“We are NOT going to convince radical feminists and gays to vote Republican. It is a waste of time. Focus on the union members and minorities.”
Um, yeah–that’ll work! ;-)

As at has been stated in a previous posting, the Republicans (if they were smart enough) could have voted “present” on the Stupak Amendment and that would have left the so called “Blue Dogs” having to show their real colors.
In addition, the Michael Steele experiment hasn’t worked out. It’s time to throw out Steele, bring in George Allen and start cleaning house.

“It’s time to throw out Steele, bring in George Allen and start cleaning house.”
ANOTHER good idea! George Effing Allen–now THERE’S a guy with a lot of political clout!–can come in and start talking about what “macacas” both Steele and Obama are. I know that will capture the Skinhead/neo-Nazi/White Power/Drooling Idiot vote at least!

Whoever furnished the Dennis Miller clip, thank you.
Best, most specific description of Nancy Pelosi ever, observing that her actual soul reeks of something toxic enough to infect even her companions.

Hate to be the pessimist…
Tonight healthcare.
Energy is next with Cap and Tax
Then they’ll stifle free speech or rather shut down conservative talk radio and internet sites.
It’s coming, trust me.
Next year election slogan for democrats.
Vote for my re-election or this nasty conservative republican will take your health care away, dirty the environment and cut your taxes. Those conservatives are really dirty!
Thanks George Soros, hey is he even and American? By 2012, we’ll be a bankrupt Islamic nation, kind of like Afghanistan.
What has happened to America?

I believe it won’t take affect until 2013 thus it can be overturned.

No, Ginger, they won’t. But if thousands were to moon the WH this would get media play. 2010 and repeal the bulls is the best bet.
Mike, I did a bit of lookup. Welcome to Texas and for God sake never say “swimmingly” down here.

For everybody who says this couldn’t be repealed after it becomes law:

If we elect conservatives, we’ll be able to do it. And you can bet that the Democrats are headed for electoral catastrophe. Take heart. We’ve faced worse before and triumphed over it.

We’re still in the first quarter, folks. Halftime isn’t until the end of the 2010 elections. You know who to vote out of office in 2010.

Karl Rove needs to get off his Punditry-high-horse and get back into the game of helping to flip the house in 2010. It’s entertaining having him spout off statistics and political trivia on Fox News, but his talents would be better serving to get more Republicans elected. Hey Karl, get back in the game man!

“By 2012, we’ll be a bankrupt Islamic nation, kind of like Afghanistan.”
I’ll answer my own question: The blubbering conservatives are much lamer than the liberals jeering that the House of Representatives just passed a massively destructive, horrendously incompetent bill that has no chance of working if it becomes law.

Last sentence of the Gettysburg Address.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
