WASHINGTON - Chanting "Kill the bill," thousands of conservatives rallied at the Capitol on Thursday against the Democrats' health care overhaul plan.
The campaign-style event kicked off a daylong, Republican protest against the legislation. "This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen," House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio told the crowd gathered on the lawn near the West Front of the Capitol.

3,000 protesters out of 305,000,000 population.
That comes to approx. 0.00000000000000000000001 percent of the population. Gotta work on that. Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio is on the Insurance Industries payroll.(see list of campaign donors) Gotta work on that. 13 of the represenatives/senators on the podium at the demostration today are also on the Insurance Industries payroll. Gotta work on that also. One senator said..."I will now read from the Bill of Rights....." (holding a copy up in his hand) He then preceded to read from the preamble to the Constitution. Gotta work on that also. I tell ya guys, you can't pay good money for entertainment like this....Or are we ??? |

Mike is just as confused as Boehner was. He was holding up (he said) a copy of the Constitution from which he said he was going to read the preamble. He then proceeded to read the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. You'll have to go about 3:15 into the video. ++++http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#33700879 It is pretty damn pitiful that the Republican leader in the House of Representatives can’t tell the difference between the two. Preamble to the Constitution: “ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Preamble to the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. This message has been edited. Last edited by: jdksfcret, |

Those congress critters who think they can vote for this monstrosity that has grown in ONE WEEK from 827 billion to over 1.2 trillion and from 1900 to 2200 pages and still have their job come election time in one year better start looking for a new job now as they are gonna need one.
Attempting to take over 1/6th of the economy and place it under government control is tantamount to communism. Added to the TARP, GM/Chrysler takeover and billions of other disastrous deeds this regime has done we are seeing a fundamental change from what our founding fathers invisioned and its time for the American people to stand up to tyranny and say "Im mad as hell and Im not gonna take it any more" |

I'll betcha a dollar to a doughnut, that the politicians, both parties, are running scared and that the "health care bill" will not get passed, if it does till after the next set of elections, next year... Politicians all want to be re-elected, they could care about anything else... IMHO... Respectfully, SUNLINER81 |

That's why Boehner needs to go bye-bye. I won't stand for hypocritical candidates on either side of the aisle. I will say that the Democrats have their issues with the Constitution as well. Here is Senator Burris discussing how the Constitution says we have the right to "health" even though "health" isn't in the Constitution. "http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/checker.aspx?v=Gd6UqGuzVr" Here is Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy who can't say where the Constitution gives the right for Congress to pass health care so he discusses how the Federal Government sets speed limits even though it has not done that for decades: "http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/checker.aspx?v=GdSU2GqGSU" Here is Dennis Kucinich explaining how the Preamble to the Constitution gives us the right to health care even though the Preamble doesn't have anything to do with creating laws: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-9ZwftLxk8" I have many more if you care to see them. As a whole, our Congress sucks. It is time for them to go and put people in place who understand our system of government and how our nation was meant to be. |

"Bowlers have BIG balls!" |
And Nancy Peligosi responds by breaking her pledge, her promise to post the healthcare bill online for 72 hours. The democratic lies, hypocrisy, and corruption is sickening. They are determined to ram this bill down our throats regardless that the majority of Americans don't want it, and that it will only help 2% of Americans at a massive, economical back-breaking cost to American taxpayers.
For those who want more government intrusion in their lives, and support massive government expansion, this is your ticket. "The World's Finest" |
