   Message to GOP: Stop it.

   You assume leadership, men with stones, sadly, you assume too much.

   And did you read about the Reparations to the Black Farmers?

   He ran as a Socialist, which means he’s more honest than most Democrats. The voters that voted for him are also more honest than your average Democrat voter.

   Bernie Sanders and Maxine Waters may be the most honest of the Fascist in our Congress. They have the power and now is the time to use it-Oaths and Constitution be damned. All Power to the Soviet? Bernie Sanders is no George Washington is he? Apologies to Glenn Beck but Revolution may indeed be unavoidable.

   George Washington: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth (and) keystone… the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable… more than 99% of them [guns] by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference [crime]. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour.” (Address to 1st session of Congress)

   George Mason: “To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” (3 Elliot, Debates at 380)

   Technically yes, but it depends on the ruling of the Senate parliamentarian. He is supposed to be non-partisan, but serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, so who knows how that will play out.

   Outlaw Socialism by limiting political access to the Public Purse. A manditory balanced budget (12% maximum annual as a % of GDP). And absolutely no Federal borrowing. Even “emergency” exceptions are an open door to tyranny.

   Carpe diem baby.

    Enough of your damn threats . . . go ahead and use your reconciliation trickery to pass Obama’s socialist healthcare aberration and we’ll pick up the battle from there. The vast majority of Americans don’t want this garbage so steal yourself for the political consequences.

    Sanders: Now, the other thing is, once you do that, you can go through another reconciliation package, and so long as instructions are given to the relevant committees, you can include a lot more.

    What’s the point of a constitutional republic when committed Stalinists can destroy it at will via legislative and executive fiat? The founders never envisioned treason on such a massive scale. We need to address this as a direct assault on the Republic itself. We are indeed in a war and need to come to grips with the reality of that fact.

    The enemy is exposed and in plain view.

    Having been inspired by flyman’s Battle of the Bulge metaphor – Dear Leader’s “Operation Overreach” is as insane as Hitler advancing on the Soviets in the east and declaring war on the US in the same month. And the results will ultimately be the same.

    Reconciliation is a last resort desperation play that will annihilate them. Again, I say bring it.

    It’s amazing how fast commies like Sanders can talk about ‘affordability’ in terms of reigning in those greedy rich doctors, (trying to pay their staggering tuition loan payments and malpractice insurance premiums while staying up late trying to figure out insurance forms), then get awfully quiet about the greedy rich universities who get to GOUGE us on taxpayer backed loans. Making the loans cheaper will only make the problem WORSE. Easier money = even higher tuition!

    Let’s enact a program to make gasoline ‘affordable’ by allowing us take out cheap government backed loans to pay for it. Yeah – that’ll make gas prices go down too…/sarc

    Three percent… THREE PERCENT THIS YOU STINKING COMMIE!!

    The Demcare Trojan Horse rides again.

    Trojan Horse? As I recall, that trick worked because the Trojans didn’t figure out because the Greeks were hidden from view.

    On this particular wooden horse, they’re riding it on the outside, sharpening their swords, and they really couldn’t care less whether anyone sees them.

    The socialists don’t understand that nothing the government does is free. The money they use has to come from somewhere.

    They hear horror stories about local governments running out of money. . . have to fire teachers, policemen, state parks, etc because they control them.

    They don’t understand that if the government controls it, when the government runs out of money, you can’t afford it. That means HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS.

    Why would you look at police, firefighters, and teachers and conclude that we need to be in a position to fire doctors and close hospitals if the government runs out of money.

    It doesn’t pass because it is a bad idea. If Obama comes up with a good idea, I’ll cheer and champion it. But if his idea is to pay for insurance (that people may not even need) for everyone for the rest of the life of this country, I’ll wonder why you got to the powerful position and how long until you are gone.

    Just to be clear. . .

    INSURANCE IS NOT INFRASTRUCTURE!

    And one more thing. . .

    INSURANCE IS NOT AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE!

    If people die before they get sick, their health insurance premiums have been wasted whether they pay them or the government pays them.

    Correct.

    Just like that non-sense plan to weatherize homes. Cost per home at this point????

    $57,000

    That’s right. $57K to insulate a home. One home.

    Why?………. in part Gov’t administrative overhead. Not to mention all the middlemen getting their piece of the tax payer money pie.

    And this health care plan farce will be no different.

    I dare the democrats to pass healthcare via reconcilation – any claim of legitimacy by the current administration will be gone, the GOP could campaign solely on repealing it and win hands down – repeatedly – until it is repealed. Mr. Sanders reminds me of a line from a children’s tale.
    “Drown me! Roast me! Hang me! Do whatever you please,” said Brer Rabbit. “Only please, Brer Fox, please don’t throw me into the briar patch.”

    To all those who think this idiot is a true Vermonter, please understand…he was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He moved to Vermont after college in 1964 and ran for Congress in 1971. It’s gone downhill ever since.

    I was born and raised in Vermont. I have never, nor will ever, vote for this trash. Unfortunately, he “brings home the bacon” for many milk farmers, and so people keep voting him in. People also hate conservatives up here, so they keep voting him in.

    Sad. I guarantee you, you will continue to see liberals elected in Vermont for years to come. We have too many liberal flat-landers moving in, and too many people sucking at the teet of the government for them to vote otherwise.

    And to show how stupid they are…our state government is voting on whether to shut down our only nuclear power plant today. Despite not having any plans to replace the energy source. They even state “We have to do this, and we recognize that your power bills will go up. But it’s for the environment.” And most likely, it’s going to be shut down.

    Un-freakin’-believable.
