		<description>What you want to bet that those first 4 years of collecting taxes, that are not spent on healthcare, will actually be spent on abortion? This could be, not only a huge Democrat campaign-Ponzi scheme-pot, but also a population control plan.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The crap sandwich was just a side order&lt;/blockquote&gt;
...or appetizer.

It made me sick, therefore the main course can&#039;t be any better. And the service sucks too.</description>

		<description>One ridiculous part of this Kabuki is the fact that once the first 4 years of taxes and fees have been impounded they will have been spent once the &#039;Benefit&#039; side of this abortion is implemented and they will need more revenue without bothering to explain where the first allocations ended up.</description>

The problems in this country can be tied to directly to a lack of “Religion and morality”.

We have removed what President George Washington called “indispensable supports” to “political prosperity”.

The majority of Congress is both spiritually and politically bankrupt. So it should come as no surprise that they are fast leading the U.S.A. to financial bankruptcy.

		<description>TO: &lt;strong&gt;Moderate House Democrats&lt;/strong&gt;

SUBJECT: How to take the High Ground

All you have to do is say that you are going to hold President Obama accountable to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breitbart.tv/obama-american-agenda-flashback-dems-should-not-pass-healthcare-with-a-50-plus-1-strategy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;what he himself said&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Change to Win Convention 9/25/07

The bottom line is that our healthcare plans are similar, the question once again is, who can get it done? Who can build a movement for change? This is an area where &lt;strong&gt;we’re going to have to have a 60% majority in the Senate &lt;em&gt;and the House&lt;/em&gt; in order to actually get a bill to my desk&lt;/strong&gt;. We’re going to have to have a majority to get a bill to my desk. That is &lt;strong&gt;not just a fifty plus one majority&lt;/strong&gt;.

Obama Interview with the Concord Monitor 10/9/07

&lt;strong&gt;You’ve got to break out of&lt;/strong&gt; what I call the sort of &lt;strong&gt;fifty plus one&lt;/strong&gt; pattern of presidential politics. &lt;strong&gt;Maybe you eke out a victory of fifty plus one. Then you can’t govern.&lt;/strong&gt; You know, you get Air Force One, there are a lot of nice perks, but you can’t deliver on healthcare. &lt;strong&gt;We are not going to pass universal health care with a fifty plus one strategy.&lt;/strong&gt;

Center for American Progress Conference 7/12/06

Those big-ticket items: fixing our health care system. You know, one of the arguments that sometimes I get with my fellow progressives, and some of these have flashed up in the blog communities on occasion, is this notion that we should function sort of like Karl Rove where we identify our core base, we throw ’em red meat, we get a fifty plus one victory. See, Karl Rove doesn’t need a broad consensus because he doesn’t believe in government. &lt;strong&gt;If we want to transform the country, though, that requires &lt;em&gt;a sizeable majority&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are not willing to work with you and Republicans to create a bill that can pass BOTH houses of Congress with at least 60% of the vote, then the &quot;Healthcare Reform&quot; bill &lt;strong&gt;WON&#039;T PASS&lt;/strong&gt;.

There is no excuse for Obama, Pelosi, and SEIU to be putting extreme pressure on you to achieve a &quot;50 plus 1&quot; outcome that Obama himself said means &quot;you can&#039;t govern&quot;.

Remind him of what he said, and hold him accountable to what he said!
