The reconciliation bill with all the Senate bill “fixes” – which also passed tonight – now moves to the Senate.
Let us hope (and pray!) that it doesn’t make it through the Senate intact…
Shame on Stupak who got $700,000 for airport work in his state. What a cheap sell-out. Really shows where his values are. Oh…wait…does he HAVE values? One wouldn’t know it.
Check out this video on Stupak…he never intended to vote against this legislation. Check it out quick, I have a hunch it will disappear from YouTube very quickly.
Our glorious leader, ST, said:
To which I add, “No prisoners.”
While I’m a registered Republican, I come from a family of moderate-conservative Democrats. The blue-collar, working-class kind. I’ve always been willing to vote for a reasonable Democrat, if I thought that person was the best choice among those on the ballot.
No more. The Democrats, “moderates” and progressives alike, showed me they lack either principles or spine, and I don’t care which. The end result is a betrayal of everything Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Lincoln stood for. It feeds the Constitution into a shredder, and the act is only made more bitter by the bizarre Orwellian words of Madame Speaker in the House tonight as this travesty was born.
No. I tell anyone reading this tonight that I will never, ever, vote for a Democrat again as long as I live. They cannot be trusted and deserve to go the way of the Whigs and the Federalists. First they act like Copperheads during the war in Iraq, then they unleash their slobbering inner statists in the health care debate.
No, this ends now. Every single Democrat deserves to be defeated, and the party itself needs to be destroyed. They are a danger to liberty. They are the party of government-as-master. They are the party of the State. Liberty depends on their defeat.
Factio Democratica delenda est!*
*(With apologies to Cato the Elder.)
Anthony is spot on with his post concerning the “dems” and what they have collectively evolved into.
I remember just before the “08 election ST said there would be Obama voters who would come out of the woodwork and say, “I didn’t vote for this!” Where are they now? Committing acts of self-mortification, I hope. By all means, let’s give the “pro-life” Dems, and the Party in general, hell to pay, and vow to never again ourselves vote for a candidate just because “history can’t wait.” Now we’ve REALLY got history!
I am speechless, destroyed and don’t understand how this could happen. These people sold our souls all in the name of bribes. They couldn’t sell their souls, since they have none and no conscience. Never, more than now, have I distrusted this government more.
Please pass me some goverment cheese.
End of America as we know it. Too many 5th generation welfare recepients whose votes count just like yours and too many spoiled kids who want to sing Cumbayah.
To try to play Pollyanna; Our lines stood firm. To compare this to SS and medicare/medicaid is wrong, as they had bi-partisan support, this unconstitutional mess did not. All of us in districts with dem reps get started now to get ready for the PRIMARY election, to select the best candidate to send the pelosis packing!
As we now ALL know without any wavering doubt..the core principles of the Democratic party have been hijacked by Marxist Socialism. Where the government can do better than you can. Where God is excluded. Where the government will determine what is good for you and what you will be able to buy.
I for one think we should all be supporting our state governments as they will no doubt be in a position of having to pay more money to cover the expense for the expanded Medicaid roles and decreased federal expenditures to cover them. Which in turn will mean more taxes for everyone in those states.
These behind the scenes “special deals”, i.e. BRIBES, MUST be exposed. We all should know how this bill was squeezed through the House. I pray that the Senate makes a few changes so that this thing is delayed and delayed. It will buy Coburn time to elucidate and expose those deals that discriminate against other states.
Time to get to work.
They’ll try to ram all sorts of things through before the elections this fall.
At least obama will know they need to get a move on since he threw his party under the bus. (Guess the slow ones will find out the hard way…)
But I’m with Anthony. Not even the more reasonable democrats can be trusted. I would never vote for a dem if you held a gun to my head.
Genie
Amen to that, Anthony!
Democrats: Feral hogs in the garden of hard working americans.
I have trouble believing that a pro-life democrat would take the word of the most pro-abortion president ever. An Executive Order can be rescinded at any time; Obama’s voting base apparently worships pregnancy termination, these dems are sooo dumb!
Un-freaking-believeable but what indeed do we expect with, as a former commenter said, 5th generation welfare recipients with their hands out for the rest of them to keep them up and provide them with all of their ‘right’s’. But, hey, big labor is exempt and a lot of states will get their pork projects so not all of us Americans are getting shafted–that’s the good news here (haha).
My only hope is that those of us with common sense, values and morals who love liberty and freedom and the founding tenets of this nation can outvote the AFL-CIO and other big labor members, the ‘educator’s (i.e. indoctrinators), ACORN (et al) and all of the multitude of the dead who will be casting their ballots this fall and in 2012. Are there that many of us or are we not strong enough in number? Only time will tell.
….this ain’t over. And in about 7 months these people are going DOWN! None will be safe.
I am about to write something which at first blush may be viewed as downright insulting to a majority of the voting American citizenry, but, if the shoe fits…
First of all, as painful as it may be for the preponderance of our fellow American citizens who facilitated last night’s vote, as well as that of the monstrosity which emerged from the Senate: NEITHER THE TRAVESTY LAST NIGHT, NOR the EARLIER VOTE IN THE SENATE was “AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE” … that is, the will of the majority of Americans who voted to put the current Administration in power on Capital Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. YOU gave them a “super majority”!
BTW, aren’t you “independents” as proud of your accomplishments in the light of day this morning as you were where you cast your ballots the last two elections cycles?
Whether THAT SIXTY-TWO MILLION voting majority wants to own it in “dawn’s early light” today or not, last night WAS their personal collective PROXY VOTE! Yooo-Hoooo, every single one of you who cast your votes for one or more Democrats, last night was a consequence of YOUR actions and poor choices. OWN IT.
Many of the same people who in proxy literally voted for this millstone about the necks of the rest of us, which will likely finish off our economy and the America you and I grew up in if it can’t be headed off legislatively by a clean sweep and fresh start in Congress in November, can stop their incessant whining and complaining right now … cast your collective gaze – long, hard and continuously – upon that which YOU have wrought by your own hand.
You should’ve applied a wee little bit of logical, linear thought to the potential consequences of your actions BEFORE you cast your votes in ’06 and ’08. You didn’t give a second thought to the consequences of giving the Democrats the White House AND super majorities in both Houses of Congress. You just got exactly what YOU voted for. Unfortunately, the rest of your fellow Americans have to suffer the consequences of YOUR actions as well.
Soooo … this is YOUR health care bill, YOU voted for it, now at least come out of the shadows and own what YOU proudly campaigned and voted for!
Meanwhile, enjoy the vote you cast last evening “up on the Hill”. Teddy is posthumously proud of each and every one of you!
Don’t you get discouraged. THE FIGHT STARTS TODAY!!!
Deb,
You make a very good point. Not only those Independents who voted for democrats are to blame, but all those who simply stayed home and did not vote for anyone. This is the price we pay for apathy and inaction. Loosely quoted, it has been long said that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. It is incumbent upon every citizen to discharge their personal responsibility in the care of a republic. Too many people think freedom is free and self-perpetuating. Big mistake.
We were complacent for way too long, never even thinking something as apocalyptic as this could happen. But it has. Revolution has come to town. Division like I’ve never seen before has come to our wake. I’m shocked but not surprised that these ‘intellectual’ (eye roll) idiots have gotten this far.
Deb, excellent post.
I agree with Deb…these folks were elected, over and over and over again in some cases. And this is the result of a complacent citizenry….which is nothing new when you consider how many people will actually find reasons why voting is inconvenient.
Maybe they stayed in office also because they felt their elected official was great at bringing home the bacon for his district? Maybe they were swayed by great speeches and kind words that did not hint at the core values that the candidate espoused.
Now, I think we have become aware of some the the questions that we should ask, what actions we should take note of and course of study they pursued…Now we know to understand that values do mean something. And now we have to roll up our sleeves, step out of our comfort zones and begin the hard work of putting people who can be trusted with power in place and to maintain vigilance and become tenacious about what is being done in the halls of congress.
obama was elected by the middle of the road Dems and indys……if i was obama don’t think i would count on that vote this time.
been voting about 40 year(yeah, i’m old)and every so often(4-8 yrs) i will vote for the other guy, didn’t care about the politics. my reasoning was that the incumbent already knew the ropes to steal….well that is past. not sure how many more elections i got but never again will i vote for a dem, don’t care whether it’s local or national……no dems, period.
this whole process has been about ego, obama, pelosi, reid…….they want their name on that bill. pisses me off to no end.
