Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Democratic Sens. Jeff Bingaman (Colo.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Jim Webb (Va.) had voted put off a final vote on the bill on June 7, but voted to restart work today.

The following Republicans also changed their vote: Sens. Bob Bennett (Utah), Kit Bond (Mo.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Norm Coleman (Minn.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pete Domenici (N.M.), John Ensign (Nev.), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Trent Lott (Miss.), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Ala.), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Ted Stevens (Alaska) and John Warner (Va.).

Michigan senator Debbie Stabenow (D.) had previously voted in favor of a final vote on the legislation, but today voted against restarting work on the bill.

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback (R.), who is running for the GOP’s nomination for President, did not vote on June 7. Today he voted in favor of opening debate. Sen. Tom Coburn (R.-Okla.) and Sen. Mike Enzi (Wyo.) also did not vote on June 7, but voted against restarting the bill Tuesday.

Too Subtle For Lodestar
Lodestar:
"reply to: "flaming" liberal you are flaming to be sure..."

Thank you.

"can you cite EVEN ONE of those "hardworking undocumented aliens who will become multibillionaires, greatly increasing our GNP and tax base!"... I didn't think so."

(Sigh),...Lodestar, lodestar, lodestar,.... Tell you what: I'll site you an former undocumented worker turned Guest Worker turned citizen turned multibillionaire for every lazy good-for-nothing illegal alien turned guest worker turned citizen who imports his whole extended family who all go on welfare that YOU CAN ACTUALLY SHOW ME!!!!!!!! Fair deal?

The whole point is that neither animal exists, and neither figure has any business appearing in a purportedly serious document!! The heritage foundation's insulting speculations do tell you something about the prejudices of the Heritage Foundation, but they don't have any reliable grounding in reality. I told you right up front that Bullsh-- numbers like that were coming out of my a--, the Heritage Folks aren't so honest.

Scamnesty RIP
It does not get much better than this! Middle America has prevailed over the lobbies by miscreant employers and the socio-ethnocentric groups seeking reconquista. Presidente Jorge looked like he had had a death in his family.

Now we need to press to seal that damm border... we don't need no stinkin' path to citizenship! As Reagan said, "A nation that cannot control its own borders cannot control its destiny." His greatest regret was having been snookered into Simpson -Mazzoli with a phony promise of enforcement in exchange for a "one-time" amnesty of 1 million+ (which became 3 million)... that also led to the mess we have now.

Thanks to all of you good Americans who fought to save America's heritage and cultural integrity. We have won a big battle-- we must now gird ourselves to win the war!
