   Let them pass it along straight party lines and Democrats will be on the Endangered Species List by 2013.

   Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, had made clear from the start that his panel would bend little when it came to the top priorities of Senate Democrats and the Obama administration

   Senator Michael B. Enzi of Wyoming said that Republicans had been forced to offer more than 100 amendments to the bill because Democrats had largely shut them out of the drafting process

   So much for the bipartisanship so longed for by our president. Since the most ethical Democrats took over in 2006 there has been no working together of the parties. Dems just say “our way or the highway.”

   Time to ramp up the resistance, folks.

   These Congressional meat sacks don’t give a rat’s a$$ what we think. They punk’d enough of the ignorant masses to get elected, and the rest of us are freakin screwed.

   Scumbags.

   Nice. Rather than offer Resolutions to force Congress into any socialized program they slap together, a BILL should be offered making it law to revoke Congress’ existing health care for one year.

   They can offer to be a test case if they believe in this socialism so much.

   They can get the government care they crave so much at their nearest VA.

   Oh, but Thug Emanuel has said bipartisanship is now accepting ideas from Republicans for the plan.

   Getting their votes no longer matters.

   I have just sent the following to my senator, Ben Nelson D-NE:
   

   I have one question for you Mr. Nelson, and I DO NOT want a patronizing “I understand and appreciate your concern” form letter from one of the lackeys that I am also paying (and by the way I believe you have also forgotten, YOU work for ME and the rest of the people in this state, NOT President Obama,). This takes a one word answer.

   Will you or will you not forgo the health care you are afforded as a Senator and subject yourself the same healthcare about to be forced down the throats of the public (which by the way, according to all of the polls, the public is resoundingly against, which is strange because all of you congress people normally flip and flop according to every hourly poll).

   What will it be sir? Yes or no?

   I will keep you posted as to what kind of BS answer I get.

    Unfortunately, my dear senator Snowejob is drippy over obamacare. She’s gotten over a dozen calls from me, and I’ll keep calling her staff, not that it does any good…

    If anyone else wants to call her:

    I am a designer, and have a client who is a physician. He sadly says that he is seriously considering looking into a different profession, after 20 years in osteopathic healthcare. What a sad state of affairs.

    Let save you the agonizing wait:

    Dear Mr. Hunter,

    Thank you for your concern. As you can understand, Mr. Nelson receives many letters and phone calls from his constituents.

    Please be aware that your concerns are Mr. Nelson’s highest priority and he will give your thoughts the utmost attention.

    Sincerely,
    Mr. Nelson’s Lackey

    I have sent Mary Fallin (OK) several emails on the immigration topic…each has been on a different area of immigration, every single reply (by mail) has been exactly the same response…I’ve not received a response to my last email about receiving the “canned” immigration letter response…don’t expect it either and she supports immigration enforcement…I’m reconsidering any support for her in her bid for the Gov position….

    I will Save your response to compare with what I receive. (Please don’t hold your breath though, Nelson’s lackeys do not always send a form letter, and when they do, it is about 6 weeks after initial contact.)

    I hope your senator will give you a straight answer,but if I were a betting man,I believe he will send you something like:

    Dear Concerned Citizen,

    I understand and appreciate your concern.We,the Government are working hard to promote what is best for you,the people.Although we do not always agree on agreements,we must all do our part to stand in agreement not to disagree about those important issues for which we should all be in full agreement apon.I can’t emphasize enough that just because we can do a thing doesn’t necessarily mean we shouldn’t do that thing.However,when we stand together in agreement of that thing,we become united.With unity comes concensus,and that is truly a worthy goal indeed!
    I hope,dear citizen,that this has enlightened you and reassured you of my position regarding your concerns that you are so rightfully concerned with.Stay strong and faithful and remember….YES WE CAN!

    Thank You,
    Sen. Ben Nelson

    I seriously agree with Flyoverman, we need to make all these asinine bills democrat bills there’s no way they can with stand elections in 2010 & 2012. And when we retake congress there no nice guy BS as before, go for the jugular and do not stop till all the crooks are removed from office, including any rino’s that may come along in this medical fight to save their jobs and these bureaucrats that have been selling out for decades. They think we’ll all forget how they voted for the stimulus and the bail out bills.

    If this bill becomes the law, I see misery for all of us, except the Rich and the Politicians.

    In case it has escaped anyone’s attention, the Political Species has carved out the exclusion from this so called Public Option. No waiting in line for them. After all, they are the best and the brightest. They can’t be expected to stand in line when their services are critically needed in Washington!

    The Tax on Rich is not going to pay for this nonsense.
    Nobody becomes Rich by being stupid.
    The Rich are known to find ways to keep more of their earnings to themselves. They will reduce their payroll, or take their entire trade to business friendly locale.

    Does anybody think that the Rich will wait in line for their medical care?
    How about a trip to destinations such as India and Philippines? These countries are brimming with talented medical practitioners, the cost is dirt cheap by USA standards. And, oh by the way, a nice little side trip to Taj Mahal or the foothills of Himalayas would be nice a vacation.

    Right, don’t forget bankrupted California and well on their way to bankrupting New York. The Democrats are like people who max out all of their credit cards then when they can’t pay those bills take out more credit cards to cover the ones they can’t cover anymore. Yet, people want them to decide their futures for them….Amazing.

    The first step in controlling healthcare cost is tort reform to bring down malpractice insurance from all of the fraudsters like John Edwards. I doubt we’ll see a bunch of congress criminal lawyers pass something intelligent like that.

    right on battleaxe, but another neccesary change is to allow and indeed encourage hospitals to refuse service to people who can’t pay one way or another. my mother had medical problems while at her mcallen texas winter home, and when i went to the facility, it was wall to wall pregnant latinas giving birth to anchor babies. or the news cast of a few months ago where 9 individuals cost a hospital in dallas millions of dollars in unreimbursed care. stop it, and people will consider health insurance over the big screen.

    Does anyone know how to email the individual House and Senate members without looking up each individual name?

    I have a blast that I would like to send as well as call them—for what it is worth.
