A living and breathing testimonial to term limits, New York’s Grandpa Munster.

So he doesn’t want to waste the time of an up-or-down vote, but he’s not averse to dragging the bill through a cumbersome time-consuming amendment process, even though Obama’s certain to veto it? That makes sense.

He’s a world class weasel, along the lines of Reid he would procedurally frick up anything to thwart the will of the people.

Senator Schumer: Healthcare Repeal Will Be “So Full Of Holes It Looks Like Swiss Cheese”

So does your face, Chuck E. Cheese!

Hussein said the Democrats did a poor job of explaining the benefits of his CommieCare to the people. If that were true, Reid, Schumer, and Hussein himself would welcome the fresh opportunity to “sell” America on its wonderfulness in open discussion. But instead, they demand silence from their opposition.

Actually, the ‘dark side’ knows what a destructive time-bomb they’ve triggered the fuse on. That’s why Democrats want to force this anti-American travesty against an unwilling populace by keeping it with them in the darkness until it’s too late.

Senator Schumer, the official “dumb ass” of the senate, cannot seem to realize that EVERYONE sincerely believes we need health care reform.
This is no excuse for supporting the “butt ugly” bill which was rammed down our throats.

(1) Health insurance needs to be separated from employment.

(2) Insurance companies must be allowed to compete against each other in EVERY STATE.

(3) If you can afford insurance, but do not purchase health insurance, the government will “give” you an incredibly basic policy which amounts to basic first aid & good luck. Poor people could have government assistance to help pay for the less expensive policies. Keep in mind that every person could choose from among several (6-25) “comparable” policies, similar to the available medicare supplements available today (in concept only).

It’s so simple, yet the idiots like Schumer & others would only like to make things more complicated & corrupt.

What an empty stupid exercise trying to repeal this law. It will not happen. Even if Obama loses in 2012. Look at the polls and you will notice the support for complete repeal has been dropping gradually. (Read A.B.Stoddard’s column on The Hill) By 2012, the political environment will be much different ESPECIALLY if Romney’s the GOP candidate. There will no longer be the need to demonize something that was based part on Romneycare in MA. Just like McCain could no longer criticize Obama’s “inexperience” after putting Palin on his own ticket. The GOP house majority has a 6-month honeymoon and if they haven’t produced any meaningful legislation from the house (still busy with the bullshit social wedge issues) — watch those numbers drop.

But those are polls by Democrat campaigners masquerading as objective pollsters. The poll that’s much more accurate was last November.

Nahh. This communist mandate will never stand. You Liberals spend so much time BS’ing your way through life, you confuse yourselves over what to believe.

Which people? The majority of American people support the individual provisions of the bill. The will of the people was expressed by congress, the people’s representative, last year. You just don’t like the will of the people. Guess what it won’t be repealed. Except your defeat gracefully.

I bet they didn’t think it through. It’s a nice campaign slogan, but in real world, it doesn’t happen. I’d like to see them go home and tell the seniors we are going to take your benefits, see how that works out for them in the next election.

Many up and stop your whining, Little Timmy. The Republicans had a golden opportunity to replace Reid in November, but, instead chose to blow it by nominating the looniest of the Tea Partiers, loonier even than Randi the Witch in Delaware. Your bad.

Excuse me. “Man up and stop your whining, Little Timmy.”

Sure, it’s going down in court. But that’s what they were elected to do, so there you have it.

The will of the people is not represented by bills that get passed in the middle of the night with no debate. The 26 states that are suing to overturn it represent the will of the people.

That’s a new theory of Amerikan gouvernance.

If the Republicans were honest about it they would tell US that only those Americans that are managers for the big corporations are going to receive paid-for health insurance if the repeal of the President’s health care insurance is successful:

Many Americans are dismayed by the prospect of being forced to purchase health insurance, many of them the young, first-time voters that helped elect the President.

Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will sign the repeal of Obamacare once she is sworn-in as president:

i think if you were to pose the question of health care reform to the founding fathers, they would say to pursue socialized medicine and an individual mandate.

In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed – “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.

Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constitutions in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constitution.

And when the Bill came to the desk of President John Adams for signature, I think it’s safe to assume that the man in that chair had a pretty good grasp on what the framers had in mind.

sure, adams was a big government guy so what about states rights guys? a georgetown history prof. writes…
Alexander Hamilton supported the establishment of Marine Hospitals in a 1792 Report, and it was a Federalist congress that passed the law in 1798. But Jefferson (Hamilton’s strict constructionist nemesis) also supported federal marine hospitals, and along with his own Treasury Secretary, Albert Gallatin, took steps to improve them during his presidency. So I guess you could say it had bipartisan support.

I am not sure why my posts are getting moderated. I have links for Mr. Davo above.

Really? Would you call Rasmussen a “Democrat campaigner” pollster? How predictable! According to Rasmussen’s polls TODAY, only 53% want the Health Reform law repealed. That has gone down from recent months.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/health_care_law

Most (75%) want changes to the law. Only (20%) want an outright repeal and forget.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/january_2011/75_want_health_care_law_changed
These are numbers from a GOP friendly pollster too.
How about doing some research before calling me out with your usual petty vacuous BS?

As far as my earlier statements about the changing political landscape by 2012, look at the following article from today’s Politico. Those independents!
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/48023.html

Obama’s latest polls from Rasmussen (you know…that “Democrat campaigner”) have him at 52% Approval/ 47% Disapproval.
Eat your heart out Davo!

Let’s repeal it so we can see what was repealed.

No doubt there are some areas in the health care bill that might be appropriate but, keeping this monstrosity in it’s present form to keep the few worthy provisions is just plain stupid. We can keep the worthy provisions and build on those.

1. Anything Reid could sideline, he would have learned from the “party of NO”! (but that’s ok as long as it’s the right)

2. The will of the people, try looking at a poll! It’s not the will of the people (even after all the tea lies), “Fox” won’t even back you up on their poll! Sorry even the Republican, I mean Rasmussen poll won’t help you!
