‘Deem and Pass’ Shows Democrats’ Healthcare Arrogance Problem

I wonder how it happens that the demon pass is the Slaughter solution.
Sort of like all of the snow that has fallen over Washington for the past two years while they are trying to sell us Climate gate.
Can we not look at things in reality rather than the spin that the powers that want to be put before us?
CO2 is what we breath out when we exhale. The Dems want to tax that.
Health care via Dems is tax, control and money grabbing. No real assurance of health care. Just the appearance of maybe after we take control over everything you might get health care...but probably not much.

The names for these travesties seem to be almost too well chosen. The Constitution is being slaughtered by a demon pass.
I wish that the resulting puns were funny, instead of representing a frightening, filthy twisted process that resembles more third world one-party dictatorship than a representative democracy.

Article 1 Section 7 of the Constitution says:"All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills"
Anyone want to claim that a bill that takes over 1/6 of the economy with massive new taxes is not a revenue bill under this clause? Since it is a revenue bill it has to originate in the House. This bill didn't, it originated in the Senate, therefore the Congressional vote doesn't matter. This bill cannot ever become law.

Everyone who thinks Obamacare is a good idea needs to move to
Massachusetts for a year or two! Then come back and tell us how they liked waiting 44-Days to see a doctor. Or, did they
decide to just go to the ER, like so many people in Mass.end up doing. And how do you like that 8-32% insurance increase that will go into effect in April?

Now Obama is hot on health care
He’s made it his personal affair
National Socialist the country will be
As he goose-stepped all over the Constitution, said he
‘Cause you see, anything that brings more power to me, you must all just grin and bare

Lying, backroom-dealing pond scum. The big eared fool and each and every spinelsss democrat must go in November.(I know we have to suffer from BO till 2012) I just love his laser focus on the economy-still another lie from the finger wagging moron.
I jusr cannot beleive I am watching them shove us over the cliff against all logic other than to get their "historic win'. Watching them backslap each other just makes me want to puke. It all about him..his pitch to the hispanic causus was "We must do this so I can remain strong politically the enxt three years" Quote/unquote. Note the disgusting comments from Pelosi above.
The Who were a good and timely choice for the Super Bowl, reminding us to pray that we don't get fooled again.

"Nationalized health care will make sure that no person is left behind."
It surprises me just how much wonderful rhetoric and political effort is expended upon concealing the failures of government regulation. Health care inflation is simply a product of politicians failing to resist the nagging temptation to buy votes with federal and state spending. Medicare spending distorted the health care system in this country until the people it was supposed to help could not afford care or coverage. Since the 70s, economists have known that the only solution would be to decrease regulation or ration care. The former takes a remarkable amount of political courage and economic foresight, and the latter only takes a couple compassionate lines like the one above with a few sob stories to nudge voters in the right direction.

We will be forced by law to pay into the racket run by health insurers, the health mafia? No thanks, I want no part of this scam, and certainly do not want to be taxed for it, while watching my premiums continue to climb and service to degrade. You can take Obamacare and bury it now.

The chance of providing quality health care to the poor is now at hand. Nationalized health care will make sure that no person is left behind. We must thank the rich for getting it passed. They will have the power and compassion to raise the payroll tax, and pay medical costs for every sick person. It might anger some of the overpaid, but they have been living high on the hog for too long.

These lying weasels don't understand that they blew their chance to slide this power grab through last summer, when the country still thought Obama was a man of honor. Those days are long gone. Americans, like I've never seen them before are focused, like a laser-beam on healthcare. Any democrat up for election, after this, is toast!
