   Sonofdy replies, for the good of the country I sure hope so.

   Anyway we always knew illegals would be included in the healthcare. Thats the “policitaly correct” thing to do. As opposed to the correct thing to do. After all its bankrupting California, so it must be good for the rest of the country right? No I can’t figure that logic out either.

   California stupidity on a national scale. It’s all about getting votes to keep yourself in power permanently.

   This has to be stopped long enough to regain the House and Senate in 2010 and equally important, drive out as many Democrat governors and seize majorities in state legislatures as possible.

   I hope darn well we destroy his presidency. It’s him or us; survival of the fitess. Hardball politics with no quarter asked or given.

   People like Grassley need to put on their body armor and get into the fight or they can just go away as well in the primaries.

    Taking care of illegals is so far out of hand there’s doubt it will ever get back under control. The drooling TV-obsessed citizens of this country are being suckered out of every thing they own, and they are to stupid to know it.

    The fact that our government ignores other countries’ unsuccessful health coverage programs and continues to push for universal health care and includes illegal aliens in the plan for us tells me this is not about health care or the economy. This is a power grab.

    That’s right. And its not even about what that which these politicians have power over actually looks like. It matters not that they are reducing America and its prosperity. What matters is the political class stays in power. If it takes tearing down a prosperous and free American and remaking it into a socialist European like nation to do so, the political class will jump on board IF at the end of the day they think they preserve and increase their power.

    Power and staying in power is the only goal of all this stuff. While Obama and his leftist buddies are doing things that reveal that quite clearly, the strategy and the efforts of the political class to preserve and stay in power is not new to Obama.

    TEGUCIGALPA, July 21 (Reuters) – The United States and Europe stepped up pressure on Honduras’ de facto government on Tuesday as deposed President Manuel Zelaya and his supporters called on Washington to pave the way for his return.

    With negotiations deadlocked and Zelaya vowing to return to Honduras within days, some fear Central America’s worst crisis since the end of the Cold War could flare into violence.

    Talks mediated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias collapsed over the weekend but he hopes to bring both sides back to the negotiating table on Wednesday..

    The U.S. government threw its weight behind Arias’ proposal that Zelaya, who was toppled in a June 28 coup, be reinstated to set up a coalition government.

    This is slightly off topic, but not in the larger sense that THE ONE is rapidly screwing the pooch with the American people.

    Just wait until the pandemic, when illegals will get free care ahead of taxpaying legal citizens!

    Taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population amount to about 2 billion dollars a year, for education, incarceration, and health care.

    Each Florida taxpayer pays around $1800 a year for illegal alien services (from a 2005 report).By 2010 that cost is estimated to double to over $3000/year.

    Do any of the cost estimates for this bill include costs for illegals from all over the world coming here for free health care? Even those who have health care, like Canadians, will come here for treatment if they can’t get the latest drugs or have to wait too long for care in their own countries.

    With our porous borders and no restrictions for pre-existing conditions, anyone in the world with a serious or terminal illness and the means to get here, will come for free health care. By the time they get here they’ll be in bad shape, so they’ll probably get moved to the head of the line for fear of bad publicity. Just imagine the cries of racism and profiling if an illegal alien dies while waiting for care behind U.S. citizens with less advanced illnesses — never mind how long the citizens have been waiting. This bill is a disaster for the citizens of this country.

    Below are the top five questions Sen. DeMint would like the president to address:

    1. If the major provisions of the health care bills will not kick in until 2013, four years from now, why the rush to pass a thousand-page bill before the August recess, a bill you admit that you haven’t fully read yourself?

    2. You have said your health care bill will cut costs and not increase the deficit. But, independent analysis by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office contradicts both claims, saying it will raise costs and increase the deficit by $240 billion in the first ten years. What independent analysis will you provide that supports your claims and refutes CBO’s?

    3. You have repeatedly said that your health care bill allows any American who likes their current employer-based plan to keep it. But the most comprehensive independent analysis available, by the Lewin Group, contradicts your claim and found your bill will force over 80 million Americans to lose their current coverage. Will you provide independent analysis to refute this study?

    4. Your own record in the Senate reveals you spent years voting against nearly every reform to make health care more affordable and accessible, but this week you said that opponents of your plan are “content to perpetuate the status quo, [and] are, in fact, fighting reform on behalf of powerful special interests.” Which specific elected officials will you cite that have proposed to keep the status quo, and is that how you characterize the opposition of the 52 Blue Dog Democrats in the House and the moderate Democrats in the Senate?

    5. Yes or no question: Will you guarantee pro-life Americans that, under your plan, they will not be forced to subsidize elective abortions?

    Members Who Vote for Government-Run Health Care Should Enroll Themselves

    I recently introduced a resolution urging Members of Congress who vote for government-run health care to automatically enroll themselves in the government-run plan.

    Over the past few weeks, Members of Congress and the American people have come to know the details of the Administration’s proposed health care plan. Call it whatever you like, I believe this proposal is nothing more than government-run health care. As a physician, I am amazed at the number of bureaucrats in this House who are quick to claim a government-run health care plan is the reform this country needs. My resolution will offer Members of Congress an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, and urge their colleagues who vote for legislation creating a government-run health care plan to lead by example and enroll themselves in the same public plan.

    Under the current draft of the Democrat health care legislation, Members of Congress are curiously exempt from the government-run health care option, keeping their existing health plans and services on Capitol Hill. If Members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way. Public servants should always be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating. For more information go to my website at fleming.house.gov.

    I don’t understand how liberals can get away with ignoring all the facts right in front of them. Nobody ever calls them on it. Report after report shows the drain on US taxpayers and hospitals as a result of the illegal invasion. That’s right, INVASION. We are voluntarily surrendering our money and country to these invaders. Time to throw them all out. And I don’t care about the bleeding heart pictures on the evening news. Too bad, GO HOME.

    If illegals are exempt from paying for forced health insurance then I would say we are all illegals. Can you tell a Canadian from an American, eh? Refuse to show ID and claim Canadian citizenship (you jumped the fence in WA state the border is just as porous as Mexico)Since the Mexicans can’t prove citizenship…. let’s all do it!!

    As for the numbers of illegals in the US try 25-30 million. The numbers the Feds use are from years ago, as we have proved every time there is an “amnesty” 3 to 5 times more illegals show up than we were told existed at the time….

    As for Gramnasty—time for him to retire–where is the opposition in his home state?? Hey, RNC, get this fool in line!!!

    Law-abiding, uninsured Americans would be fined if they didn’t submit to the Obamacare prescription. Law-breaking border-crossers, visa-overstayers, and deportation fugitives would be spared.

    Why would an illegal alien want to become a citizen? It has gotten to the point that an illegal has MORE rights than a citizen. If you’re illegal, you won’t have to pay for health insurance but you can still get all the benefits of free health care.

    In addition, the Supreme Court ruled that using a fake social security number is not identity theft if the number was picked at random. So if you need a service that requires an SS number, you can just make it up and there are no consequences.

    I don’t see a downside to being an illegal. There’s nothing to stop you from voting or getting government benefits right now. And if Obama and the democrats get their way, there will be an upside to being an illegal. You won’t have to purchase health insurance or pay fines to get free care, and they’ll probably ignor you if you don’t pay taxes. So what good is amnesty? I ask again, why would an illegal alien want to become a citizen?

    Police: 8-Year-Old Raped by Four Boys

    Police allege the boys lured the girl to an empty storage shed on July 16 and restrained her as they sexually assaulted her.
    By Associated Press
    PHOENIX (AP) _ Phoenix police have arrested four boys between the ages of 9 to 14 for allegedly raping an 8-year-old girl last week.

    Sgt. Andy Hill said Wednesday that the boys face charges of kidnapping and sexual assault.

    Police allege the boys lured the girl to an empty storage shed on July 16 and restrained her as they sexually assaulted her.

    Police say all four boys are being held in a juvenile corrections center.

    Child Protective Services has taken custody of the girl after police say her parents blamed the assault on her.

    Police say the boys and the girl are all children of West African refugees.

    They say the girl and all but one of the boys live in the same Phoenix apartment complex.

    Just a cultural misunderstanding, I’m sure.

    Health care to illegal aliens?

    Great. . .so illegals that break into ths country and fight, yes FIGHT (and sometimes kill) Border Patrol Agents in the field, and if they get away, they will be rewarded with free health care by law.

    This is added incetive for illegals with no skills, all sorts of health issues and infections to scurry into our country.
