Welcome to the United Socialist States of America! HR 3590 passes 219-212
After buying off Bart Stupak and the rest of the so called “pro-life” Democrats, Obama has officially fundamentally transformed America into Greece! With the passage of HR 3590 tonight, Americans are now REQUIRED by law to buy health care insurance. That is, they are required to buy insurance deemed “acceptable” by the government! There will be 16,500+ new IRS agents (so maybe we can consider this a sort of stimulus package), and over 130 government agencies will be created. The U.S. is also now at a higher risk to lose its AAA bond ratings with the passage of this bill. All in all its been a pretty good weekend for the Democrats and their plans of destruction of America! (golf clap)
NRCC Count – 214 NO 213 Yes
Earlier it was reported Stupak was about to cave an make a deal with Obama on abortion. There was going to be some sort of executive order to satisfy Stupak. As of the time of this posting. Stupak is still an unknown, though I know Democrats, and he will probably cave. The latest NRCC count has the vote count at 214 NO votes and 213 Yes votes.
Meet Bart Stupak’s House opponent for November – Dan Benishek
Good news! Baby killer Bart Stupak has a challenger for his House seat. His name is Dan Benishek. and he is running for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s 1st District and would like your support. From his Facebook Profile:
I was born in Iron River, Michigan. My mother was of Polish descent and my father of Bohemian descent. My father worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps and then in the iron mines of Iron County. He died in a mining accident in 1957 and my brother and I were raised by my mother, with the help of family. I graduated from West Iron County High School in 1970. I earned a B.S. in Biology from the University of Michigan in 1974 and graduated from Wayne State Medical School in 1978. I have served as a general surgeon in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula since 1983. My wife Judy and I live in Crystal Falls. We share five children and two grandchildren. I am an avid hunter and fisherman and an NRA member.
I have never held political office but I feel compelled to seek a position at this time because of disturbing developments in our nation’s capitol. I have watched with horror and disbelief as congress has voted to spend trillions of dollars on legislation that no one even read. I very much want to serve my country and the citizens of the 1st District and to provide better representation and leadership on important issues such as:
· Job Creation. Our best hope lies within the private, not public, sector. In particular, we need to support small business, which creates the bulk of new jobs. Government should step aside and let the free market work by reducing burdensome regulation and taxation.
· Fiscal Responsibility. Government is out of control and is squandering our children’s future! I say no to more government bail-outs, business takeovers, and growing entitlements. It is time to make drastic cuts in spending, balance our budget, stop printing money and start paying down our ballooning national debt.
· Lower Taxes. I believe that a government which governs least is a government which governs best. We need a government of the people, by the people and for the people. We need to reduce oppressive taxation and allow individual citizens to keep and invest more of their hard-earned money. We need to shrink the size and scope of our government to be in line with that envisioned by our founding fathers.
· Secure Borders. Immigration must be legal and regulated and our borders must be secure. Uncontrolled access to our country increases entitlement expenses, decreases available jobs and renders us vulnerable to terrorists who want to destroy us.
· Health Care. America has the best health care system in the world – a system which needs fine-tuning but definitely not a government take-over! We need to focus on free market reforms which will increase competition and decrease costs. A good place to start would be to allow health care insurance to be tax deductible, portable and sold across state lines. Additionally, we must pass tort reform to rein in skyrocketing costs associated with frivolous medical law suits.
· Energy Independence. Radical environmentalism has rendered energy development next to impossible. While we must be good stewards of the earth, God gave us this earth and all its resources for our needs. America has huge coal, natural gas and oil reserves. We need to responsibly tap into these reserves and stop relying on other nations to supply our energy. In addition, we need to vigorously expand our use of nuclear power as a safe, clean and efficient source of energy.
· National Defense. It is a primary responsibility of our federal government to provide a strong national defense to protect our nation, our liberty and our ideals. We should honor and respect our armed services and veterans, not undermine their strength and dignity. Additionally, we must aggressively pursue the war on terror and we must try prisoners of war in military tribunals, not as citizens in our civilian courts.
· Second Amendment. I believe in the individual’s right to self defense. The right to bear arms secures other rights such as freedom of speech, freedom to assemble and freedom to practice religion. If we allow disarmament of our citizens, we render our nation vulnerable to tyranny.
· Right to Life. I believe in the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Paramount is life. From conception to death, all human life must be considered sacred and must be protected.
If you believe in personal responsibility and limited government, please support me in my effort to change the status quo in Washington and return responsible representation to the 1st District of Michigan. If you feel powerless as you watch our government take your hard earned money and spend it foolishly, choose me. If you want an honest, hard working congressman who will answer your letters and phone calls, choose me.
As a surgeon, I have 30 years experience dealing with and solving serious problems. I don’t have all the answers to our nation’s problems but I will enthusiastically apply my skills and work with you to find them! Let us start here and work together to return our government to the people. Join my campaign and stand as a citizen of our great republic with your vote for me.
Just like a predicted – Stupak caves
From Politico:
House Democrats have picked up critical health reform “yes” votes from a group of anti-abortion lawmakers, including Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, according to senior Democratic aides. Democrats believe a breakthrough with Stupak’s group – based on the promise of an executive order to be issued by President Barack Obama reinforcing a ban on federal funding for abortion – will help give them the 216-vote majority needed to pass reform on Sunday. (1:05 p.m.)
Rep. McDermott of Seattle – on my way to work this morning, I saw a group of Tea Baggers
Yesterday, we had elected representatives of the U.S. House as well as CBS fat pig Mark Knoller calling the protestors against ObamaCARE “tea baggers”. One of the U.S. House Reps who calling anyone against ObamaCARE a tea bagger was Seattle’s rep.
Video of Congressional Black Caucus arriving to hear Obama speak
Do you happen to hear any uses of the N-word of see any spitting? I don’t. Plus the Congressmen/Woman have their camera phones recording the whole thing, so if this video is incomplete, surely one of the members of the CBC should have the incriminating video wouldn’t you think?
Stunner! Loretta Sanchez now a NO vote for ObamaCARE!
Here’s a bit of good news tonight. Flaming liberal progressive Loretta Sanchez of Orange County, CA is now a NO vote (she was a Yes vote back in November.) The reason being:
Sanchez’s district is in a part of Orange County that leans Democratic but voted for former President George W. Bush in 2004 and Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006. It has a large Vietnamese-American population. “They come out and vote in large numbers, and they’re 2-to-1 Republican,” says her opponent, state Assemblyman Van Tran.
The latest WHIP count according to flaming liberal site Fire Dog Lake now puts the vote count at 204 Yes, 209 No! The site lists 10 Democrats as “Lean Oppose” and 8 Democrats as complete unknown votes. There is still a chance to kill this bill! Glenn Nye, a Democrat from Virgina who was reported to be voting yes for the bill earlier on Saturday by liberals has come out and officially announced he is also NOT voting for the bill! NRCC has the vote tally at 212-212 with 7 undecided.
Yet another great billboard shows up in Colorado – Jimmy Carter saying “they can’t call me the worst president anymore!”
Image and H/T from Story Balloon
We have another “mysterious” billboard that has popped up out of nowhere, this time in Grand Junction, Colorado. The billboard mocking Obama has a picture of the previous worst President in my lifetime – peanut head Jimmy Carter saying
“they can’t call me the worst president anymore!”
U.S. Representative calls protestors Tea Bagger Protestors
The Huffington Post has started spreading some rumors that some people at the tea party protests today were spitting on Congress people, calling some reps the N word, and Barney Frank the FGot word. Yet not one left wing site, or left wing media operation has been able to provide any audio or video clip of such hatred being spewed by one or two wackos if in fact anyone did. Yet apparently its ok for the media like fat pig Mark Knoller Tea and even elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives to call the protesters TEA BAGGERS! Tim Ryan of Ohio is one of two members of the house I heard refer to the protesters as teabaggers, a sexual slur directed at people exercising their 1st amendment rights. The other was Jim McDermott of Seattle.
Uh oh. New CBO report says ObamaCARE will increase the federal deficits by at least $59 BILLION, but more likely $260 billion over the next decade
Contrary to recent claims that ObamaCARE will decrease the deficit, the CBO has released a new analysis that says that bill will in fact INCREASE the deficit by at least $59 billion, but more than likely $260 over the next 10 years!
New analysis from the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] provided at the request of House Budget Ranking Republican Paul Ryan, indicates that including the “doc fix” in the Majority’s health care overhaul adds $208 billion to the cost of the bill, increasing the deficit by $59 billion over the next 10 years. In response to a question regarding passage of the doc fix, Speaker Pelosi said “it’s not in this bill but we’ll have it soon. We’ve made a commitment to do this.”CBO also estimates the effect on the deficit if a number of other unrealistic policy changes, in addition to the 21 percent cut to physicians, made by the Majority are never implemented.

Looks like Pelosi has the 216 votes needed for government takeover of health care
Looks like the botox is coming home to roost. This Fox News article reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday has finally reached 216 YES votes, the magic number of votes she needs for health care reform to pass, after Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, D-Fla., switched to a “yes.” But there’s still a day and a half remaining before the House votes — a lifetime in politics in which anything can happen.
Latest country insulted by Obama? Australia!
Australians aren’t happy about Obama putting off his visit to their country, TWICE. After his Marxist takeover of health care this coming weekend, Obama plans to work harder on destroying America until he pops off to Australia and Indonesia in June. Obama’s decision to put off his visit to Indonesia and Australia a second time provides a valuable insight into how this dysfunctional White House operates. If any proof were needed that US foreign policy, especially in the Pacific, is far down the list of priorities for Obama and his team then here it is.

16,500 more IRS agents needed to enforce Obamacare
Great news from the Washington Examiner . New tax mandates and penalties included in Obamacare will cause the greatest expansion of the Internal Revenue Service since World War II, according to a release from Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas. 16,500 new IRS agents will be needed to collect, examine, and audit new tax information thanks to ObamaCARE! Well, I guess this is some job creation isn’t it? Paul Ryan estimated there would be 15,000 IRS agents added, I guess he is on the low end.
Schmuck O Biden admits ObamaCARE will control the insurance companies
Ooops. Another gaffe. Or is it?
Another Democrat caves, Illinois Luis Gutierrez will vote YES for ObamaCARE
Looks like the Obama deal making machine is working overtime. Luis Gutierrez who claimed over and over again how he wouldn’t support the Senate’s version of ObamaCARE because of the so called restrictions on illegal aliens suddenly will vote yes for it.,
Democrat Rep Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts now a NO vote for ObamaCARE for now
Dem Rep Stephen Lynch of MA is now opposed to the health care overhaul legislation, according to GretaWire. Lynch however is a far left loon, in the model of Dennis Kucinich. Lynch doesn’t view the Senate bill as reform and isn’t confident that the Senate will rake up the reconciliation pkg “we have about 290 bills on the pile over there…” Lynch however is meeting with Obama this afternoon so he might be open to convincing still. Expect a lot of fingering, tickling, arm twisting, and god knows what else.
Obama cancels Asia trip – ObamaCARE vote likely Sunday!
Obama today postponed his planned trip to Indonesia and Asia, delaying the trip until June to he can help ram down ObamaCARE down American’s throat.
“The president believes that right now the place for him to be is in Washington, seeing this through,”
said the worst Press Secretary in history, Robert Gibbs.
If ObamaCARE passes physicians’ fees will be cut 21 percent and hospital reimbursements for Medicare patients will be cut by $1.3 billion
According to Dick Morris, if the House Democratic majority passes Obama’s health care proposals, one of two things will happen by Election Day, 2010 – and neither one will be healthy for the Democrats seeking re-election. Either the Medicare cuts will take effect or they will be postponed by a terrified Congress.
Obama interview on Fox News with Bret Baier: I’m not concerned with procedural rules in the House or Senate
The “much anticipated” interview of Obama on Fox News with Bret Baier is coming up at 6pm EDT. At the time of this posting, its rumored the interview was contentious. Greta Van Susteren tweeted this earlier:
Pres Obama just said Bret keeps interrupting him…..Bret says he does not answer the question ..you need 2 C ths 2nite at 6p/Special Report
On the FoxNews.com, they report the arrogant Marxist actually told Baier:
“I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate,”
House GOP Leaders to Force Vote Tomorrow on Measure Blocking “Slaughter Solution” House GOP Leaders to Force Vote Tomorrow on Measure Blocking “Slaughter Solution”
From Boehner’s website:
Washington, Mar 17 -House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) announced that House Republicans will force a vote tomorrow on a resolution requiring a clean, up-or-down vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. If adopted by the House, the resolution would prohibit Speaker Pelosi and Democratic Leaders from implementing the “Slaughter Solution,” the controversial scheme by which the Senate health care bill would be deemed as passed by the House without an actual up-or-down vote.
“The ‘Slaughter Solution’ has sparked widespread outrage because it’s designed to protect Washington politicians when it’s American taxpayers we should be looking out for,” Boehner said. “Speaker Pelosi and Democratic Leaders, who promised to lead the ‘most open’ Congress in history, thought they could pull a fast one on the American people, but they were wrong. This vote will give Democrats an opportunity to demonstrate whether they share Republicans’ commitment to ensuring the American people get what they deserve: a clean, up-or-down vote on the Senate health care bill. The stakes are too high, and this bill is too controversial, for anything less than total accountability.”House Republicans will offer the text of the resolution as the “PQ” (“previous question”) for the suspension authority rule that is expected to be considered on the floor Thursday. The text of the resolution, introduced by Rep. Parker Griffith (R-AL) – a former Democrat who switched to the GOP in December out of disgust with Washington Democrats’ government takeover of health care – is available here.
