   If Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak are feckless enough to sign on to the nationalization of 1/6 of the American economy and the bottomless generational debt it will incur for another worthless Obama promise and empty scrap of paper, God help us all.

   Why in hell would Stupak trust anything Obama says or does? Obama could sign this executive order, let the vote happen, and then a week or a month from now reverse it.

   Don’t be stupid, Stupak.

   The President has not learned one damn thing

   In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama told Congress to act quickly and pass “commonsense rules that will our allow markets to function fairly and freely while reining in the worst practices of the financial industry.”

   That, he said, is the central lesson of the current financial crisis that has cost millions of Americans their jobs and nearly caused the collapse of the entire financial system.

   “And we fail to heed that lesson at our peril,” Obama said.

   May God protect this country as our leaders have forgotten how (the majority party, that is).

   God will be with us, no matter what happens this weekend.

   The Democrats on Demon Pass will do anything to claim victory: the killing of the unborn, the collapse of our economy, the desertion of our elderly on Medicare, the destruction of our health care system,etc. and, in the end, it will lead to their failure and downfall.

   In CONGRESS,
   SATURDAY, March 16, 1776.

   IN times of impending calamity and distress; when the Liberties of America are imminently endangered by the secret machinations and open assaults of an insidious and vindictive Administration, it becomes the indispensible duty of these hitherto free and happy Colonies, with true penitence of heart, and the most reverent devotion, publickly to acknowledge the over ruling providence of God; to confess and deplore our offences against him; and to supplicate his interposition for averting the threatened danger, and prospering our strenuous efforts in the cause of Freedom, Virtue and Posterity.

   The Congress therefore…

    Perriello said he was uncommitted untill he saw two things (1) assurances from the Sentate in the form of a letter that the Senate would change the language on abortion funding and (2) a CBO report that showed that the health care bill would not be deficit producing. He announced that he would vote yes after Reid produced a letter without signitures and the CBO issued their initial/not final findings.

    Perriello was just looking for cover. He is spineless and if he thinks he will get my vote he is wrong.

    C,mon. Look deeply into the face of the man on the left. Then tell me you believe he is going to hang tough.

    Anyone relying on Stupak to be an 11th hour saviour from this excrement sandwich is in for a huge disappointment. He’s enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame and is now ready to fall meekly into line.

    The POTUSA is going to Congress at 3 pm ET to speak to the DEMS. He most likely will usher all of them into a room, lock the door and “put all of them into an hypnotic trance” – and they will emerge ready to “Fundamentally change” America for all time…..He will promise anything over and over and over until all COMPLY!

    Our POTUSA is a pathalogical(sp!)LIAR and smooth operator!

    He has found a way to “fundamentally” usurp the Congress’ effectiveness to represent the American citizens.

    The “DEEM” procedure will be used for passing the “job-killing Cap & Trade”, the “job-killing Amnesty for Illegals” proposal, and anything else he and his socialists/communists Advisers decide to push through Congress.

    As Charlie Brown says, “We’re doomed!”
    What is the next step for the American citizens? jb

    I’m praying that they will take the most illegal means to pass this thing (because the sharp knives are going to make sure it does) – at that point the entire Demwit party, including the WH, will be guilty by association. We won’t have to worry about the 1 or 2 renegades of the Repubs will cave and vote for it. It will then be a free for all in November.

    First we were counting on the Blue Dog demoncrats to save us, then it was the Anti-Abortion demoncrats. Get a clue, American people. If abortion was that big of a deal to the Stupakites, they would be Republicans. They aren’t (by definition) so a reasonable person would conclude abortion is just one more bargaining chip. And so it is. Demoncrats would sell their families into slavery for a better office. Their soul belongs to the Party. And that means you too, Leiberman.

    Personally, I am with Rush on this. By pinning our hopes on the abortion aspects of DemDeath, the opponents committed a huge tactical blunder. By focusing on that one item, we left ourselves wide open to having the rug pulled out from under us. Surprise! Guess what has happened?

    Everything about this bill is wrong. Everything.

    If Stupak got any kind of deal, “executive order” or otherwise, the pro-abortion caucus would bolt.

    Pelosi has a problem. She can’t get anti-abortion and pro-abortion Dems together at the same time to pass this bill.

    I live in Stupak’s district. He’s a liberal. He flip-flopped on the House bill at the last moment after telling me he would vote against it. His ADA voting record is 90%. All he needs to flip-flop on this is a “promise” or “reason” that will allow him to claim later that he was lied to, misled, hornswoggled, bamboozled or whatever will let him blame it on someone else, salve his conscience and fool enough voters to get him re-elected. If Pelosi needs his vote, he’ll give it to her when he gets a “reason” to do so.

    Matheson (D-UT)was able to slip under the radar and vote no last time because there were enough yeas to pass the bill. This time he is waiting to see if he can fool the voters again by waiting till the last minute and pretend that he is against the bill.

    He has fooled the voters in Utah time and time again by such strategic votes. His great ambition is to follow his daddy’s footsteps and be governor.

    He is a calculating little crap weasel.

    After this is all over anyone who lives in a district represented by a Democrat, even if that Democrat votes against this travesty, needs to remember that person is still a Democrat. As long as people like that are returned to Congress people like The One, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid will be in charge in Washington. There is no such thing as a moderate or conservative Democrat. The party that included people like that ceased to exist a long time ago.
