Oppressive governments enslaving their people.
VP Biden says “we’re so close to doing what has never been done before.” It has been done before- oppressive governments enslaving their people. That has been done before. Many, many times. Usually for “a good cause”.
The plan: will allow preexisting conditions at any point (more costs), will include people who can’t pay (more costs), has no limits on amounts paid (supposedly-more costs) and with all that, will save money. Makes sense.

Truer words haven’t been spoken in Washington in decades. Thank you Rep Perriello. Now do something about it.
300 million people chained at the neck to each other over health insurance.
Senator Harry Reid is hitting back at ads that claim that Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, is using slave labor at home to build the Gulf city-state. And they state: “Slave labor in Dubai. Union labor in Las Vegas. And both the slave bosses and the union bosses want Harry Reid re-elected. Go figure.”
Slave labor outside the US? That is small potatoes compared to what happens when you can have 300 million people chained at the neck to each other over health insurance. But it leaves Reid and others as the masters over everyone else, with power over life and death. Just want the power-hungry politicians want – dependent parasites.
[Deem and pass is] disingenuous. It would really call into question the credibility of the House.
“It’s disingenuous. It would really call into question the credibility of the House.” Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) on the “Slaughter solution” of deeming a bill passed without a vote.
“It is absolutely astonishing that Speaker Pelosi would consider advancing a multitrillion-dollar piece of legislation that would completely overhaul one-sixth of our nation’s economy without even holding a vote in the House of Representatives,” U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).
Kenyan Born Barack Obama from AP
The AP reporter stated the following:
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
MA Democrat Treasurer-health care plan ‘will “bankrupt” the country’
“health care plan ‘will “bankrupt” the country’. The real problem is that this . . . sucking sound of money has been going into this health-care reform. And I would argue that it’s being propped up so that the federal government and the Obama administration can drive it through.”
Census form is all about race! Typical racists in Washington, worrying about skin color instead of the person
Got my Census form today and the majority of the questions deal with race. Are we “American”? “Human”? “White” (looks more pink to me)? Divide and conquer is the method being used.
And why are they breaking Asian and Hispanic down into all these categories? Why is Colombian or Korean or Japanese more valid than Irish or German or French or English or Italian or Irish or Scottish or Swiss or American? Are “Whites” just inter-changable? What about people who’s ancestors came from Afghanistan? India?
I thought we were all American. I guess not, some people are still “Chinese” or “Japanese” or “Vietnamese”. “Whites,” well, they are just “whites”.
Skin color or what portion of the Earth your ancestors came from are about as useful as eye color and hair color – except to racists.
So much for being “post-racial.” I’ve never owned slaves, neither did my ancestors, neither did they sell their comrades into slavery, but who cares?
How about: I am part of the human race, from Earth. Sounds much more uniting that all the rest of the b.s. coming out of Washington. It is called “racial profiling” when it is done at the airport.

SEN. BYRD SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOPPED PRESIDENT CLINTON FROM USING RECONCILIATION
How times have changed. Senator Byrd (D), 4/5/2001 (video), transcript:
The Democratic Leadership pleaded with me at length to agree to support the idea that the Clinton Health Care Bill should be included in that year’s reconciliation package.
They came to my office on the floor below. President Clinton got on the phone and called me also and pressed me to allow his massive health care bill to be insulated by reconciliations protection. He called me on the telephone.
I felt that changes as dramatic as the Clinton health care package which would affect every man, woman, and child in the United States should be subject to scrutiny. I said Mr. President I can not in good conscience turn my face the other way. That’s why we have a Senate, to amend and debate freely. That health bill, as important as it is, is so complex, so far reaching that the people of the country need to know what’s in it. And moreover Mr. President, we Senator’s need to know what’s in it before we vote.
And he accepted that. He accepted that and thanked me and we said goodbye.
I could not, I would not, and I did not allow that package to be handled in such a cavalier manner. It was the threat of the use of the Byrd rule. Reconciliation was never, never, never intended to be shield, to be used as a shield, for controversial legislation.
Even ignoring the un-Constitutionality of the bill – which the Continue reading SEN. BYRD SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOPPED PRESIDENT CLINTON FROM USING RECONCILIATION
