Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
Michelle Bachmann has more morality and fortitude than the entire male congress on both aisles put together, as not only has she been consistently against the Obama Big Gov Machine, she also put together a Tea Party Caucus in DC this past week, which many rip, but I happen to think is a good idea, as it gives the Tea Party direct access to the 'machine' until we dismantle it in November.
And her plan on how to accomplish it all sounds just like ours and is Music to My Ears and yours as well..I'm sure.
That would be to "REMOVE-REPEAL-RESTORE and PROSECUTE ALL OBAMACARE and PORKULUS SIGNEES essentially throwing the entire proverbial kitchen sink for all their Obama led unconstitutional 'end arounds' born in this criminal congress which they and GhettObama shoved down our throats and up our backsides Barney style,ever since the second the Messiah 'walked the water' of the DC reflecting pool surrounded by fools on election and inauguration day.
This is on WorldNetDaily this morning. "The following is audio of her comments posted on YouTube by the blog Three Fingers of Politics::"
GOP attack plan: 'Starve beast' of Obamacare: "One GOP lawmaker has already formulated a 2011 plan of attack should Republicans take control of the U.S. House of Representatives: Serve subpoenas, conduct exhaustive hearings and slash funding to 'starve the beast' of the Obama administration's big-government programs.
'Oh, I think that's all we should do,' Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., told the GOP Youth Convention in Washington, D.C., today. 'I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that is going on.'
She added, 'And it's very important when we come back that we have constitutional conservative leadership because the American people's patience is about this big, so we have to make sure that we do what the people want us to do.'
Hear Bachmann, columnist-author Ann Coulter, Alan Keyes, Tom Tancredo, former U.S. Sen. and Adm. Jeremiah Denton, best-selling authors Jerome Corsi and Aaron Klein, 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Victoria Jackson and others at the Taking America Back conference. continue reading GOP attack plan:
My contention this morning is that he knew all along he was retiring after 18 years screwing his constituents and then the unborn when he pulled his two faced, back stabbing stunt during Obamacare Black Sunday. That would be the notorious day when he and his coalition of Kooks who claim to be "pro life dems" sold out America's unborn and slaughtered abortion VICTIMS
So now, predictably, since I'm predicting it here, he'll act as though he's been "intimidated" out of his seat by rancorous Tea Party Peeps and obnoxious conservative like myself.
Just watch the day develop, you'll see it happen.
Well, so be it then, Stab In The Back Stupak! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out and all that jazz..
Especially since he's simply running in the other direction now that he and every other incumbent in congress know they're toast this year after that fateful and sad unconstitutional day, as the smoke clears they're running for daylight before they're all kicked unceremoniously to the curb by US.
And if they wish to claim it's intimidation causing them to do it, then that's just too bad and since they'll accuse us of it anyways, why not do it and then do it to the next one, and then the next one, and then the next one .....right up until they all fall from grace and power for the Anti American decisions they've collectively made since Barry the Kenyan Bolshevik painted America red.
Rep. Bart Stupak to Retire:
FOXNews.com - "Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak, who was the central figure in the abortion debate surrounding the health care law, will retire from Congress at the end of this term.
Stupak, who's been in Congress for 18 years, will make the announcement at a 12:30 p.m. ET press conference in Marquette, Mich.
Stupak told The Associated Press that attacks on him for his role in the abortion debate did not influence his decision and he could win re-election if he tried.
Stupak was a lightning rod in the debate over abortion provisions contained in the health care feud. Abortion language in the House bill was deemed the Stupak amendment because it provided clear rules that federal funding could not be used by insurance companies to pay for abortions. But the final law adopted different language from the Senate bill.
In the final analysis, the left accused Stupak of attempting to make abortion access more difficult while the right said he caved at the last minute by agreeing to weaker Senate provisions."

This is just about right....As we no more should be forced to pay for something we're against no more than liberals should be forced to buy guns and that's why they had to lay out a trillion dollars worth of bribes to get the thing passes and it's still unconstitutional whereas the 2nd amendment is set in stone as far we're concerned.
Obamacare isn't and we'll get it modified greatly if we can't abolish it which will be a "feat" indeed to accomplish. Try taking this away from the people who swear by it until they're prayers and promises turn into the joke it is when the bills come due.

Nothing really to see here as this is due to a violation of budget rules which I personally can't figure out what difference it makes since the entire process has broken every rule of decency and honor since this whole ObamaCare circus began going back to before the election.
Regardless of how it got to the senate it's going back to the house which means more headlines for San Fran Nan and her gang which they're sure to enjoy today.
GOP challenges send health bill back to House
washingtonpost.com: "Senate Republicans have successfully identified two minor violations of reconciliation rules in the final piece of the health package, according to aides from both parties."
The violations will force the Senate to change the bill and ship it back to the House for final passage. But Democratic leaders said the provisions that will be struck from the part of the bill dealing with Pell Grants for college students do not significantly affect the student loan program or the health care bill overall.
The corrected legislation most likely will not be subjected to additional challenges when it is sent back to the House, Democratic staffers said, and is expected to receive final approval in the House before the weekend.
"The parliamentarian struck two minor provisions tonight from in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. But this bill's passage in the Senate is a big win for the American people," said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Wednesday afternoon and evening and into Thursday morning, Senate Republicans offered dozens of amendments to the bill President Obama signed into law Tuesday . Their goal was to force the legislation that will launch an overhaul of the nation's health-care system. back to the House for another vote. But when the Senate began voting on the amendments shortly after 5 p.m., each proposal was easily rejected.

"GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH", BY PATRICK HENRY, 235
"This month marks the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous, 'Give me liberty, or give me death!', speech. Given without notes or teleprompter, Patrick Henry's words showed the depth of his conviction and passion in opposing the tyranny of British rule.
A couple of sentences caught my eye: 'Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope', reminded me of a recent political campaign (tongue in cheek), and 'The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!', reminded me of the modern version of throwing down the gauntlet, or drawing a line in the sand, 'Bring it!'
Henry's speech, 235 years ago this month, reminds us of the resolve, courage, spirit, and trueness to liberty our Founding Fathers possessed. They risked everything to establish a country based on individual freedom and self-governance.
As we remember the country's first war against 'big government', inspired by Henry's powerful words, we must remember to be vigilant in our dedication to freedom. While not a physical war like the first, the Tea Party movement, I believe, would make the Founding Fathers, including Patrick Henry proud.
'Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death!'"
Here's the speech in it's entirety which makes Obama's oratory sound like the gibberish and bullshit that it is and always will be.What a fraud.

I dunno why he's including himself in this group that ran ramshod over the majority, albeit not a HUGE one but one nonetheless who want nothing to do with this. I can't believe so many think this is free somehow, I really can't, but then it's easy to be for it if you're still in school or are sitting at home unemployed since that covers 60% of the Obama liberal tribe, so it won't be their paychecks the taxes come out of to pay for it.
Rest assured they'll STILL be the ones to utilize it the most. We'll start running a pool here in around June to see how the ER's are being flooded with people already looking for free stuff having no idea how this bill even works or pans out. Guaranteed.
All they hear is "free healthcare" and they're already "makin' a new run for the border, swimming the Gulf from Cuba and every other Juan, Deter and Muhammad is gonna be lined up at embassies all around the world to "Come to america for more free shit". And we born and bred Americans will be making our appts 3 months ahead of time, running standby in case some illegal doesn't show up for his liposuction because he's locked up down the road for a drunken vehicular manslaughter.
All I can keep doing is shaking my head saying is WTF?
I just spent the past 12 hours watching some of the most corrupt crap I ever seen nor learned through kindergarten through 4 years of college and 4 or 5 years of blogging now about making laws. They left all this out, that's for sure. And I'm talking about South American political history.
It's never looked like this here until we became a banana republic, and tonight made it official with some lady I wouldn't even let cook me dinner she's such a nut. If seeing her 2 heartbeats away from the captains log makes me wanna puke.

House minority leader blasts political process; begs members to vote against health care reform"
This youtube has some extraordinary information read off by a narrator that's found deep, down inside this bill, including health care FOR ANY AND ALL ILLEGALS if you can believe that one among other absolutely crazy Marxist Soviet Union kind of things embedded in it. Please listen to it in it's entirety, you'll be shocked....they have one provision where "all doctors are to be paid the same salary"!! or how fast Power driven wheelchairs can go if you can believe that, there's more than that you can bet.
Unbelievable or what? Kind of makes you want to go and read the damn thing which I have been skimming over and you can too by clicking the "kill the bill" pic in the right sidebar.
This was Obama's last minute plea on the hill this afternoon and it has to rank up there as one of the most self serving and misleading speeches full of shit he's delivered to date and that's saying something for this pathological liar and Obfuscator.
Time to take down the liberal purveyors of pork and start impeachment discussions on each bribe uncovered in this process/ Every one should not only be impeached they should be prosecuted for bribery, treason and extortion.
Aside from that, this move this afternoon was great to see and I like seeing these republicans sharpening up their jousting lances for the kill for once.
Yet another state throws down the gauntlet as 37 others have done, declaring they won't be beholden to this monstrosity of a mandate that nearly all of the 50 states in the Union couldn't even afford in the best of times, much less smack dab in the middle of the "Age of Obama" which spends money like it grows on trees injected with steroids instead of chlorophyll.
And good for them I say as most of the states in financial trouble in the country right now are states who are already riding the cradle to grave Nanny state bandwagon and should serve as a warning to all of America where we're all headed if this thing is forced upon Americans who don't want it nor need it.
FOXNews.com -: "BOISE, Idaho -- Idaho took the lead in a growing, nationwide fight against health care overhaul Wednesday when its governor became the first to sign a measure requiring the state attorney general to sue the federal government if residents are forced to buy health insurance.
Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states.
Constitutional law experts say the movement is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states.
But the state measures reflect a growing frustration with President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. The proposal would cover some 30 million uninsured people, end insurance practices such as denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, require almost all Americans to get coverage by law, and try to slow the cost of medical care nationwide.
Democratic leaders hope to vote on it this weekend.
With Washington closing in on a deal in the months-long battle over health care overhaul, Republican state lawmakers opposed to the measure are stepping up opposition.
Gov. C.L. 'Butch' Otter, a Republican, said he believes any future lawsuit from Idaho has a legitimate shot of winning, despite what the naysayers say.
'The ivory tower folks will tell you, 'No, they're not going anywhere,' ' he told reporters. 'But I'll tell you what, you get 36 states, that's a critical mass. That's a constitutional mass.'" continued here

How full of irony is this that some of Obama's hometown buddies are kicking him figuratively in the shins over "ObamaLosi care" and will likely withhold their yes votes for a number of reasons, but the abortion payment issue is they major stumbling block derailing their support. Should they continue and follow through, talk about a made for TV ad against the dems in the fall.
I can hear it now: "even Obama's own hometown congressman wouldn't stand next to Obama on this sinking healthcare ship!"
Illinois Dems Could Sink Obama's Health Bill
NBC Chicago: Three Illinois representatives -- Luis Gutierrez, Melissa Bean and Dan Lipinski -- could sink President Obama’s health-care bill.
The three Democratic congressmen are among the throngs of legislators who were on the fence about the signature bill of the President’s first term. At least two of them have signaled they’ll vote against it.
Gutierrez wrote on Huffington Post Chicago that he couldn’t support a bill that denies immigrants the right to purchase their own coverage. “It was one more in a string of disappointments for the Hispanic community, and today, I no longer find myself able to confidently say "yes" when President Obama asks me for his support,” Gutierrez wrote, signaling that he’ll vote no.
Melissa Bean was less direct when questioned about her leanings.
“Since I’ve been in Congress, I’ve heard repeated concerns about rising health care costs and the need for reform from the families and small businesses of the 8th District,” Bean said in a statement after a health care battle erupted outside her Illinois Congressional office.
“I continue to listen to both sides of the debate. While many have expressed fears or concerns about specific rumors or provisions, overall I have heard strong support for fiscally responsible reform that would provide health care security, affordability and choice.”
Lipinski told Fox Chicago that he doesn’t like the abortion language in the Senate version of the bill.
“I’m opposed to the bill right now beccause it changes the status quo on funding for abortion,” Lipinski said. “I think that’s a bad idea. I think we should stay with the status quo.” Congress is expected to vote this week on health care reform

Can you imagine the clusterf**k this little video cartoon would be if they re wrote it to reflect the way these democrats are trying to pass ObamaCare?
I wish I was skilled enough in animation to remake this thing in that vein because it would be hilarious when compared to how we all learned bills were passed back when we were kids and we still had a republic, not a budding Marxist State.
Maybe I'll email this thing today to a handful of these lawmakers to remind them how it's supposed to be done.
I missed the part about Slaughterhouse rules, reconciliation, filibusters, about the flat out bribery through the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker kickback, The Floridian Finger F**k, the Obama arm twisting and threats, the massive protests across the country being ignored by Congress and the Manchurian President and on and on...
I guess like I joked, they need to update this thing for all the little "Young Pioneer" junior Liberals being brainwashed into good little herdable sheep in what used to be our schools. They won't learn any dem tricks from that video!!

Second Maternal cousins by the way.
He was on Fox and friends this morning, and for all intents and purposes he thinks Obama Welfare Care Sucks just about as much as we do and he's a big fan of his cousin's achievement so he's not an Obama hater by any means. So what does it tell you when Obama can't even silence his own family members who are against his agenda like 50% of America is as well...he described it as "a call of duty" to stand up to this debacle and it's good to see some integrity in the Obama brood for a change.
It must really blow as a fix for the medical issues Americans face if he can't sell this man, a doctor and again his own cousin on it... no? Damn right.
How bout that, a man of honor and a doctor who actually cares about his patients and what's best for them. which the democratic party and first and foremost Obama could give a flying 9)_&_)()+ about trying to pass this and we all know it.

This is about what you can expect the US healthcare system to look like more and more if and when it becomes "Obama WelfareCare", as we know happens to everything the government gets their red tape stained fingers all over.
Stories like this one where a 22 year old dies of thirst while under the care of an lazy assed Government Nurse while in the hospital! This man called the cops to get a freaking glass of water for cripes sake.....If she wasn't getting him freaking water, can you imagine all the other **** they were ignoring. This is how many of our nursing homes are which is nothing to be proud of, but not most of our hospitals, the ones that aren't being bankrupted by illegal aliens at least.
Mail Online: "A man of 22 died in agony of dehydration after three days in a leading teaching hospital.
Kane Gorny was so desperate for a drink that he rang police to beg for their help.
They arrived on the ward only to be told by doctors that everything was under control.
The next day his mother Rita Cronin found him delirious and he died within hours.
She said nurses had failed to give him vital drugs which controlled fluid levels in his body. 'He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.'" continued here
By the way, here's even more wonderful "government run healthcare" stories for you from the United Kingdom who's system is probably the best ........of the worst...
By the way Obama and Pelosi....here's your up and down vote, I vote up ....
with my middle finger.
To think that my tax money will go to fund abortion makes me sick to my stomach, and if this bill passes, and particularly with these abortion provisions, I'll stop paying taxes and do everything I can to make sure my money never funds such an abomination of humanity.
Not in this lifetime, not with my hard earned money, EVER...And I'm certain hundreds of millions feel the same way, so I would hope Americans feeling this way are ready to unleash on this group with the wrath of the Lord if this indeed occurs.
Hopefully these Blue dogs will AT LEAST stick to their guns on this, since it appears these dems will ram this thing through regardless what the majority of Americans think, so not only will we have kick their asses out of DC and overturn that crap like a canoe we should seek prosecution for their ignoring the will of the people to enact such an unconstitutional piece of garbage like this Obama Welfare Care.
FOXNews.com - "Blue Dog Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak says he's counted 11 lawmakers plus himself willing to kill President Obama's health care overhaul over abortion language.
Stupak, of Michigan, sponsored a provision in the House of Representative's health care bill that passed last fall that clearly prohibits the use of federal money to pay for abortions. That language did not make it into the Senate bill, the model Obama is using to craft the plan he is expected to send to Congress shortly.
'We're not gonna vote for this bill with that kind of language in there,' Stupak said Thursday in an interview on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'
'I want to see health care, but we're not gonna bypass some principles and belief that we feel strongly about,' he said, adding that he's 'prepared to take responsibility' for bringing down the bill.
Obama has urged the Senate to use the 'reconciliation' procedure to pass the bill, which would allow Democrats to avoid a 60-vote majority needed to strike down a filibuster but would demand that lawmakers vote only on matters that impact the budget. Before that happens, however, House Democrats can prevent the legislation from reaching the Senate."
This is from Matthews show last night as he and his MSNBC buddy Olbernmann have taken to eating their own over Obamacare and this is just a sampling of his rant I ran across at Hot Air...Matthews goes after the dissenters on the left and right...

President Obama: Federal Government 'Will Go Bankrupt' if Health Care Costs Are Not Reined In
President Obama told ABC News’ Charles Gibson in an interview that if Congress does not pass health care legislation that will bring down costs, the federal government “will go bankrupt.”
The president laid out a dire scenario of what will happen if his health care reform effort fails."“If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year. “
The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”
“This actually provides us the best chance of starting to bend the cost curve on the government expenditures in Medicare and Medicaid,” Obama said. continued
He spews all that obvious bs, and yet expects Americans to believe he's serious when his trial lawyer buddies aren't being included in the mix, when in fact anyone who follows news can tell you the only 2 reasons health costs are out of control are these:
(A) TORT REFORM.. out of control lawsuits which in turn mean out of control doctor insurance premiums, particularly for specialists.
(B) And number two which isn't far behind number one is the Illegal Aliens sucking up ALL OUR resources intended for born and bred English speaking and American custom practicing legal citizens.
That's it, nothing more needs to be addressed, and that's why American's have abandoned this false flag health care issue. As it's nothing more than a tool to redistribute the wealth of middle America and our top earners in order to foot the bills with no strings attached for the often lazy, uneducated and poor, caused simply and for the most part these reasons only....
Blame their liberal run schools and their flat out indoctrination along with broken family units for the lack of education problem.

That would be the Loony Bin section of congress mind you.......
I think Americans have spoken time and again that we DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT want the government taking over our decisions on health care, and particularly a government that is obviously taking advantage of the extreme ignorance that's become so prevalent in this society in recent times being led by far left wing ideologues who could give a damn what middle America wants because they're intent on destroying it..
I cannot for the life of me understand what possess the people who cannot see what's being done to them first and then us in their names because their so called leaders know that they are so ignorant and misguided that when people bring it to their attention they still ignore facts that don't support their agenda...
THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT, last time I checked those numbers mean "hit the road with this crap walking"
"Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.
Half the survey was conducted before the Senate voted late Saturday to begin debate on its version of the legislation. Support for the plan was slightly lower in the half of the survey conducted after the Senate vote.
Prior to this, support for the plan had never fallen below 41%. Last week, support for the plan was at 47%. Two weeks ago, the effort was supported by 45% of voters.
Intensity remains stronger among those who oppose the push to change the nation’s health care system: 21% Strongly Favor the plan while 43% are Strongly Opposed.
Rasmussen Reports is continuing to track public opinion on the health care plan on a weekly basis. Next week’s Monday morning update will give an indication of whether these numbers reflect a trend of growing opposition or are merely statistical noise."
I think it's quite obvious it's a genuine trend, not some "statistical noise"...who wrote that line, Obama? Sure sounds like it. Here's some statistical noise for them.....

This is really good stuff from former WLS am conservative talker Jerry Agar who's now at WGN and also pens stuff like this for the Illinois Policy Institute, which everyone should be forced to read every time they cash a welfare check or otherwise rely on Uncle Sam too much as this administration is creating a whole new and improved category of deadbeat.
Jerry covers 10 reasons the government screws the poor these liberals and some RINO's portend to be assisting with these massive Nanny State programs like Medicaid, food stamps and Medicare.
"1. Minimum Wage If you charge more for something, you sell less of it. Labor is no different than any other commodity for sale. As economist Walter Williams says, 'If higher minimum wages could cure poverty, we could easily end worldwide poverty simply by telling poor nations to legislate higher minimum wages.' A higher minimum wage means fewer jobs and makes it more difficult for people to start a small business. If you tell me you'll pay me X dollars an hour to do a job, and I say, 'That's fine,' why shouldn't I be allowed to do so? Why not just declare that everyone has to earn at least $100,000 a year? The answer is no different at $100,000 than it is at $15,000. It is just a matter of scale.
2. Taxes Business taxes are built into a product at a number of levels along the production and distribution chain, and then sales tax is added at the end. An ever-increasing government can appear to fund its growth by “taxing the rich” and to make business “pay their fair share,” but low income consumers pay a higher percentage of their total income in taxes. All products and services include taxes even when it is not obvious. For instance, rent contains property tax. Gasoline is highly taxed, but the actual tax rate is not listed at the pump.
3. Over-Regulating Over-regulating of business costs money for those enterprises that survive. Less money - less employment. Over-regulation leaves so many hoops to jump through that it distracts from the aim of the business or company, and thusly hurts expansion. Plus, it makes it all the more daunting to start a business Wasting money on losing propositions like sports stadiums - which are always sold to the public as economic development - takes money out of the economy, which ultimately costs jobs.
4. Health Insurance The law denying the right of people to buy health insurance across state lines results in less competition which means higher prices. Mandated coverage forces us to buy insurance we don't need. As economist Thomas Sowell points out, 'Mandated coverages include alcoholism, acupuncture, breast reduction and treatment for baldness, among other things.
You may just want insurance to cover you in case you get hit with some big-time medical problem, but many state laws will not allow an insurance company to sell you 'major medical' coverage without all the add-ons that politicians and special interests have come up with.' Does a single mother struggling to make ends meet, yet wanting to protect the well being of her children, really need to pay for baldness coverage (pun intended) in her health plan?" continued
