Can't reconcile a bill that is not law, apparently.

Who would have thought?

Is there no lengths to the dirty dealings the democrats will attempt in trying to get this horrible, destructive, massively unpopular bill passed....just to give a "win" to obama?

The massive ego of the man is breathtaking - to use his own members for cannon fodder to appease his maniacal ego.
This is yet another chapter for the "How Not to Govern' book, that will be written about this congress and this president.

A super majority, control of both houses, with nothing to show for it all but a disgusting laundry list of bribes, kickbacks, and legislative exclusions for special political groups. now they have to resort to bastardizing the very legislative process, by trying to distort existing rules, and then writing new rules to eliminate even the requirement to vote on legislation entirely.

The Democratic Party is simply urinating on the entire democratic process used to govern this country, all in order to pass a piece of legislation, which is against the will of the people.

What happened to all the "talk" of abuse of power, running rough shod over the legislative process, respecting the rule of law?

0bamaCare is a phantom bill, that 0bama keeps passing off as an actual bill, when in reality it is nothing more then a 12 page health care plan he unveiled last month, at his showboat of a health care summit.

Thanks for providing this information to educate those that are ill-informed. I heard this guy is really a neutral decision maker. The vp is party driven.

It's being implemented by the democrats, except for the "respecting the rule of law" part.

You are correct.

RomneyCare 2.0, all depends on Good Ol' Joe.

Personally unless a public option is included, I'd rather the current bills die and they start over again.

Pretty much my stand unless the bill can be fixed.

Why are they saying NO to the American people?

Obamascare is about dead. How much longer do we have to allow them to work on this BS when we need to work on creating jobs.

The real party of NO, the DEMS are about to become toast.


My goodness, do they even care that we are in crisis over jobs? i know so many in the past 6 months who have lost jobs, and homes, it is disgusting. Are they blind, to not know that jobs are needed.

You are just like a lady I work with who has complained all year about the president trying to reform HC. I never said a word to her so she just went on and on about it then the other day she is on the phone trying to find cheaper HC because the company will not pay for the increase and now she has to try and cover it. Of course the HC she tried to get by herself was way more than she could afford. You would think at that time she would say we HC reform but instead, much as I think you would probably do, she says to everyone "I knew when Obama passed this HC reform this would happen. Now thats a GOP voter right there
