   If you really want to puke, read their statements. It is so hard to sell out your constituents while desperately grasping at straws of self-respect.

   I predict that most of these mentally tortured “yes” votes on cloture will vote against the final bill when it only needs 50 votes to pass. Hypocrisy is corruption too.

   I can’t wait for 2010. No incumbents. Democrat and Republican. They all must go. I’ve had it with Kabuki theater politics. The only way to know we’ve rooted out every crook is to vote them all out to the last weasel.

   Pasadena Phil – I was in line at the post office last week. The gentleman in front of me was from Russia and we were talking politics. He does not like what is going on in this country right now. He said this was the reason he left Russia.
   Keep in mind that the line was out the door and I said loud enough for everyone to hear that come 2010 if they were in office now I was voting against them – I did not care if they were Republican or Democrat. Everyone in that line, young and old, Black and White, agreed with me.
   I really do believe that there is change coming for these crooks and it is not what they are going to like.

   That is what I am seeing everywhere myself. Even those who first state that they can’t wait until Republicans get back in are easily persuaded that it’s about incumbents, not party. It’s time to test the old William F. Buckley claim that we would be better governed by picking people at random out of the NYC phone book than what we have. Throw them all out. If this is the best that all of that “experience” can get us, let’s try electing inexperienced but honest idiots.

    I totally agree with you, Lindsay. I wonder how many of the undereducated voters will do the same, or just vote for the politico with the better handout? The only reason many of these people are in office right now is the the social welfare state put in place by the likes of FDR and LBJ, both Dems who knew how to buy votes to keep their power.

    I’ve always been a skeptic about humans because I’ve just seen some dishonest shenanigans in my own family, politics, and larger society. This gimme gimme gimme mentality is a contagion that needs to be stamped out and eradicated. If we cannot fix this mentality, it will continue to feed the corruption that continues to exist in DC.

    I’m 34 years old and I’m fed up with both parties. I’m an independent but my vote isn’t for sale like it is with many constituencies. Time to get rid of the old welfare state programs like Social Security, Welfare, and Medicare/Medicaid and rise to a new, modern standard of responsibility.

    I have hope, if only a small hope. This country is circling the drain and I don’t know if anything can stop it. People are bent on self-destruction and it’s very hard to reverse such a propensity. It’s sad.

    Americans are vastly opposed to this takeover, but Dirty Harry and the Dems don’t care. Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu are facing almost certain defeat at the polls next year, but they don’t care. It used to be said that the Senate was a deliberative body, but they don’t care to deliberate, they prefer to ruin the country for some socialist agenda instead. As Rush would say, the age of American exceptionalism is just about over if this becomes law, and now that appears all but certain. Oh, Dirty Harry will get Landrieu and Lincoln to vote for cloture on the actual bill, and they’ll probably vote against final passage, but by then Harry will only need 51 votes because he’ll invoke the nuclear option. You know, the rape of Senate rules that will allow a vote on a “budget” spending bill by a simple majority intead of 60 votes, the trick Republicans could never pull off when they had judges languishing under Democratic fillibusters, courtesy of Teddy Kennedy. Then the bill again goes to the closed-door, House-Senate conference committee. And when it comes back to the Senate? It’ll have abortion fundiung, public option and coverge of illegals in it, guaranteed. And it will again be voted upon using the nuclear option — simply majority, 51 socialist votes. What has our country become?

    That’s what I don’t understand, even though it’s a common thought. That assumes all men/women are weak and have their price.
    When it looked like Hoffman was winning in NY-23 I started to wonder if once in DC he would become corrupted (since I believed he would’ve started ‘clean’.) Maybe he still will win ‘sooner’ or later.

    We need to count on them being buyable. Why do conservatives insist on not meeting people where they are and by using what they have given us in terms of their values.

    The selling point of conservativism is precisely that people get more of what they want for themselves. Does that not sound like a selfish motivation? Of course it is.

    We need to start teaching people the way they get more is NOT by liberalism but by conservativism. At the end of the day liberalism reduces lifestyle for all people. Conservativism elevates it for all people.

    Go with the values that have been telegraphed and show people how conservative ideals get them what they value better than liberalism.

    There’s no need to say it is a 100-300 million dollar payoff. According to her own statement, she proudly says:

    “It is not a $100 million fix, it is a nearly $300 million fix.”

    (It makes you wonder if her use of the word “fix” is code for “the fix is in”.)

    These politicians, like Mary Landrieu, are not only willing but proud to sell their votes. And their constituents are just as willing to see them do it. How much longer will our republic last?

    A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

    Bob, your quite right, i was so pissed I did not think it through.

    First, even if this happened, can Obamacare be repealed or we’re still forced to “pay insurance” in the face of a gun?

    Not sure about a “repeal” but once we take back the country we have to do everything we can bury this socialist crap and make sure it never rises it’s ugly head again. Start enforcing the laws, stop molding them to suit politics. I heard Mark Levin, a constitutional scholar say it can be repealed. but highly unlikely to change a program once started, in fact he couldn’t think of one.

    Paying for this crap starts next year, health care goes into effect 2013…figure that one out.

    I seriously doubt that a lawsuit can be brought. Lawmakers have a general and wide reaching immunity from those types of suits. That is what the ballot box and recalls are for. I believe that’s the only recourse.

    Off topic, but not..maybe, just maybe our Republicans in congress are starting to hear us.
    A month ago I sent a thanks but no thanks to a solicitation form from National Republican Congressional Committee. I told them no money after the bs they pulled in N.Y. 23rd dist. along with all the other RINO moves they’ve made in recent years.
    Well, two days ago I received a letter from the NRCC Chairman Pete Session. Now I know you can’t hardly trust any politician anymore, but he gave me “hope”, my kind of real hope in this letter. The 1st three paragraphs he explained how they knew we are pissed and disappointed and working to regain our faith in them. The last paragraph is what gave me hope they are hearing us and hope we can retake our country while cooperating with the Republicans. Here is the last paragraph that should give us all “Hope” for the future.
    “I challenge you to watch our actions over the next several months. As you know, action speaks louder than words. As we act in accordance to your expectations, I hope we can count on your renewed support at that time…”.
    I didn’t get my check book out and starting writing them a check, I was taken with the sound of honesty in the letter, admitting they had screwed up and they know they will have to work to get our support back. It may very well bs, no more than typical political statement, but it’s a lot more than I’ve ever received from the impotent RNC. Lord knows we need help from somewhere.

    In fact, read a little farther and substitute Osama Obama and Harry “the traitor” Reid for “he”:

    He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good…

    …He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures…

    …He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers…

    …He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance…

    …He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation…

    It is not only not illegal, it is the way representative legislative government is done: Swapping political favors on behalf of your constituents.

    If issue (A) is not really important to your constituents one way or the other, and issue (B) is really important, then you go along with issue (A) in order to trade for votes on issue (B).

    If you don’t like the way your representatives in Congress make trades, then you vote them out.

    Of course to actually get a Senate that might do that will take at least another few years, and by that time we can just vote to remove him.

    I’m not trying to dump more cold water on folks’ enthusiasm, but I’ve been saying this for years. Rush and Hugh Hewitt always go on about the “American people” not accepting this or that from the Left. “Middle America” is “waking up” etc., etc. Yet, to date, I have not been wrong once about the march of the Left. The “average” American is asleep or in the grip of an Oprah-induced coma.

    The reason the Left continues on is because the gains of the conservative viewpoint are always superficial since we’ve let the liberal control all the levers of cultural change: academia/education (including K-12), the Arts, the public media and even Washington culture. Speaking of Washington culture, you ever notice that the political entropy of that place works such that you have to fight to be and stay conservative but you never have to fight to stay liberal?

    It’s the inevitable result when even conservatives hand over their children to the government schools (they need “socialization” don’t ya know?), send their kids to ultra-liberal colleges, and let their families soak in hours of media and news that all militate against their beliefs. What else would you expect to happen?

    The Tea Parties were just a tickle and a passing interest. If we really want to make a difference, we have to make the Tea Party attendance look like insignificant by regularly conducting, traffic-stopping, unmistakably huge gatherings. We have to completely STOP patronizing places that support the left (like Pepsi and Google) and we have to make a sustained effort to educate our families about the founding documents of this country and WHY they speak as they do. This needs to happen continuously from now through election time as we speak out as if the future of this country is at stake–because it IS.

    Oh and put a stake through the heart of choosing “electable” candidates. You MAKE someone electable by your support. Dn’t believe me? Just ask yourself who had even heard of Obama 5 years ago. Choose principled people over old-standbys and “known” Washington faces.

    Dittos to Major O.

    The attention span of conservatives is NIL. Yeah the tea parties were cool and so was the big march, but no one has the gumption for a sustained massive protest and no one has the guts to revolt. Conservative leadership is busy enriching themselves playing the game, but I hate to tell ya, books, tea parties, blogs, and Fox News is not going to be enough to change anything.

    While the left has had a slow methodical plan to forward its agenda over the past fifty years, Conservatives have spent those same five decades whining, complaining, exposing hypocrisy, and playing by “the rules.” No planning, no commitment, no long term strategy, no nothing. That’s what gave use Compassionate Conservatism, and sissy weenies like Trent Lot, Bob Dole, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, etc, etc.

    This is our own fault. Meanwhile Conservative “leadership” gets rich off the backs of Conservative fools who think that there is a Conservative politician who will actually do something to take our country back.

    We need a revolution to install a Constitutional government in the USA. We need millions of people to band together to get the job done. Will it ever happen? Of course not.
