Why is the GOP whining about the commie-in-chief? They helped put the freakin' commie in power! Oh yeah...I remember why. It's because they want to play the game of pretend to the rest of the Republicans in the country. Then everybody will vote Republican in the next election and put them back in power so they can play their stupid little chess game once more. Until ALL the filthy, greedy elites have been dethroned, disbarred, and otherwise made powerless, everyone is spinning their wheels. As it stands right now...the GOP doesn't give a fig about anyone other than themselves!

"Anthem Blue Cross’ parent company, WellPoint, has sought double-digit rate hikes in 11 states just this year. WellPoint holds a fiduciary duty to maximize profits, so I don’t know why anyone would expect them to be magnanimous."

This will really help get our message out. Policy holders in California are not the only ones who will be getting their teeth kicked in!
"This is what Obamacare will have to offer you! Is this what you want?!? If not, then 'KILL THE BILL!' Keep what you have now."

My, aren't we testy?
Actually, I have a copy of Ryan's bill. Unlike Obama, Rep. Ryan didn't hog all the time from his colleagues. He was mature enough to know that others have pertinent and persuasive ideas and ways to express them. As the timers showed, the Dems spoke over double the time of the Republicans and, listening to CNN and other outlets, the Rep's had their 'A' game on display.
You silly -- the "Summit" wasn't the venue to present either Ryan's nor Coburn's plan. There was only time for debating what the Dems had passed or proposed - since most Repub ideas had been rejected by the Dem majority (Pelosi and Reid).

"Mary and Gordon Feller say that during the past year, Anthem raised their premium by 80 percent. The Fellers now pay $1,658 a month for health insurance. Add in the staggering rates paid by their 26-year-old daughter, a cancer survivor, and they are well past their $1,700 monthly mortgage."

As conservatives, we couldn't ask for better news! Now we can take this to the American people and tell them that this is what Obamacare has in store for them!
"KILL THE BILL!" When presented with this evidence of what Obamacare will do to families across the country the "Kill The Bill" campaign will resonate amongst the American people.
"See what will happen with Obamacare? Is that what...

Please find a new and younger face to respond when the Mullah In Chief speaks to the nation. Are there any young republicans out there???? These grey haired men are not making the connection with the younger voters (remember them?). They speak in short hand and text their parents while face booking with their friends. They tune out Mitch and other similar political figures who remind them of their grandparents.
PLEASE FIND YOUNGER REPUBLICANS to communicate about these matters - otherwise - young americans will bring Barak back to the WH and that is unacceptable!

Definition of hippocracy, "Do as I say, not as I do" Reconciliation, It was not a good Idea then, it is not a good idea now.If the house and the senate and the ex-presidents use it then we can too,if this health care reform is not good for everyone then it is good for no one.My advice to all on both sides of the issue, "Lead by example"

Finally, a Republican leader using the 'R-word' in deference to what will happen if Republicans are elected and this damned 'health' bill.
McConnell, I forgive you your shortcomings on Bunning.
Repeal the sombeech.

Let's do as I recommended a while ago.
Let the present administration run roughshod over the people. Then, send Obama his eviction notice in 012. OUT, blasted Spot!
We'll treat the Democrats with the same courtesy they gave us. That's going to be fun!

I'ts pretty clear to me that you have no idea what's in Ryan's plan. Big surpirse!
I never said McConnell was trying to impede the plan; but he-like most in the GOP leadership do not PUBLICLY SUPPORT IT and if you recall the plan was not even an issue on the table durring the summit so your assertion that Ryan "ate Obama's lunch" is false-if that were true the GOP-both houses you silly smart aleck would have united behind Ryan and FISCAL CONSERVATISM and put his plan on the table.
You have no answer to why the GOP didn't give Ryan ALL the time and back his plan of course-you're too busy being a partisan.

why don't they just do it? Put the Senate bill (in its current form with all the sweetheart deals, etc.) up for a vote in the House. Obama's crying for an up or down vote, Pelosi has the power to give it to him tomorrow.

I guess you missed the emphasis Scott Brown placed on his being the 41st Republican Senator and that, during his campaign, he clarified his opposition to nationalizing ObamaCare since the MassCare effort had proven how fiscally difficult it is. Romney didn't have the power to override the Dem- dominated Mass legislature.
Republican obstructionism? They don't have the votes to obstruct in the House and didn't have in the Senate. The problems are within the Dem caucus - between the hard Left and moderate Left.
Sen. McConnell can't impede Rep. Ryan's bill - they're in different governing bodies. Try again, pal. Rep. Ryan ate Obama's lunch last week and did it with a smile. Makes you mad, eh?
So, we'll see if the Dems...

I see how liberals want to use it for their point while ignoring it when it CLEARLY forbids what they are doing.Yes the republicans need to run on repealing this garbage, BUT I SAY I HOPE IT GOES THROUGH THE US SUPREME COURT and is thrown out as unconstitutional, a BIG SMACK ACROSS THE MOUTH OF OBAMA AND the DEMS.And a voctory for AMERICA.

already got 60 votes, it seems to me that they forced a vote on xmas eve, before the holiday break because they already saw the writing on the wall in MASS, and knew they would not have 60 anymore, and since fairness isnt in their vocabulary, they STOLE THAT 60th VOTE now didnt they!!!!! So stop your lying and spin OBAMA, WE WILL NOT ONLY REPEAL THIS but I believe its fast tracted in the supreme court and will be deemed unconstitutional there for sure!!!!!SO TAKE YOUR SOCIALISM AND GO AWAY!!!!

And Bob Munuck likes it
"They DIDN'T WANT it to be controlled by the whims and temporary enthusiasms of the general population."
So, the people aren't supposed to care? Let the president and his cronies ignore us; we're good for nothing? Take that down in writing, GOP;
Munuck likes shutting up all dissent! We'll elect a Republican and ignore every Democrat voice for the next 20 years! We'll give tit for tat.

In his speech today, President Obama said:
"No matter which approach you favor, I believe the United States Congress owes the American people a final vote on health care reform."
I couldn’t agree more. This vote is too important for Congress. It will be the American people, not Congress, that will have to live with the results. If Congress has the courage to honor the President‘s wish, I will vote for the Republican, market-based approach.

Howdy folks. We are hoping that you will help us "Kill the Bill". The so-called, over 2 TRILLION dollar Pelosi/Reid/Obama HealthCare Bill.
.
Congress will be voting on the Senate bill which must be defeated in order for the Democrats not to be able to use reconciliation to pass health care reform.
.
Join us today to call one of the vulnerable Democrats in Congress we have identified. You may go to http://www.newfreedomblog.com for a full listing and easy link to look up any Representative.
.
We have also listed each Representative with their telephone and fax number so you can call them to say.....KILL THE BILL
.
Thank you!!
