have you seen the rise in the healthcare company stock prices? This really says something ... the cartel loves that senate bill!

so now what ... the house bill and senate bill are different, the best christmas present to America would be for Obama to THINK FOR HIMSELF and realize that this is nowhere near what he campaigned on (change!) and rip both of them up in front of pelosi and reid and say DO IT AGAIN.

No way will he do that. He is desperate for a perceived victory...of course that's what reform was all about...giving obama a victory.

Why do you think they are rushing this through...he needs at least ONE accomplishment....all the others have failed miserably.

Read on for the devastating impact this bill will have on individuals and small business, not to mention the drastic regulation, mandates and taxes implemented in a time of economic hardship.

You must realize WHY they NEED to get it done now, don't you?

2010 is an election year. They didn't want the senators heading home for 2 weeks and getting an earful from their constituents.

Another dirty trick from Dirty Harry Reid.......take the votes on a weekend...phones are off, mailboxes are full, no one in the office to answer the phones...constituents can't call in and voice their outrage.

They call him Dirty Harry For a reason, A DIRTY SNEAKY --- -- - -----.

Since it's Christmas time I keep thinking that liberals are like spoiled children that are demanding an expensive new toy for Christmas. They beg and whine and cry for the toy incessantly. Finally their parents tell them they'll get it just to shut them up but they have no intention of getting it for them.
I see this as getting passed but nobody really thinks it is going to be implemented. It just won't work and the money isn't there and what little public support there is will soon slide even farther against it. But the ones that pushed it and pushed it and went against the country's wishes will be out of office by then and won't have to worry about the disaster they helped cause.

The minute obama signs a bill into law, the lawsuits commence.

I fully expect a lot of states to file their own lawsuit regarding unfunded mandates.

Not this one. My parents got more liberal as they got into their 50s and beyond, as well.

Good Evening,

This Pending Health Care Bill is "Horrendous" ..... How could this "Monstrosity" possibly be worthy of 60 Democratic votes ?

This outrageous " 600 Lb. Gorilla In The Living Room " version of a Health Care Bill is in dire need of some super serious "Tweeking" !

How can even the likes of our Washington "Dirty Harry" be proud of this sadly pathetic "Thing" ?

The entire "Goof Troop" known as the Washington "Political Circus" needs to get their Azzzzes to work in what is known as a "Cooperative Effort" and hammer out a decent "Healt Care Bill " for the American People !

The stupid Washington "Politics As Usual" ... B/S must absolutely, positively STOP !

Thank You / Lamar
