Read this article from the National Review Online:
What are Democratic leaders saying? “If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. [My emphasis – BZ] That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we’re talking about.”
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen: kill more babies and that’s more money you’ll save the federal government.
That’s your ObakaKare.
But why stop there?
You already realize that those persons with serious genetic defects from birth will not likely be productive Americans in their lifetimes — that is to say, their likelihood of being a consistent and deep-pocketed taxpayer is twofold: slim and none. Therefore, why should they be aided and abetted, medically, by the government?
At what point do you stop being a productive citizen and start being a drag on the ObakaKare system? That point likewise should be determined so that ObakaKare may be withdrawn from those persons. Sounds like Mr Obaka needs an actual Master Plan. Because, clearly, the US government will be in the business of determining who are the most productive and deserving — and who are the least productive and deserving.
This is simply heinous, people. Beyond reprehensible.
And, at this point, I’m afraid it’s going to become the law of the land.
Why do you think there exist those Demorats who are, publicly, “unsure” of how they’ll vote? You think they’ve actually not yet made up their minds?
No. They just haven’t agreed upon the numbers for their own bribes yet.

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it” The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.
And THAT, TF, is simply OUT-fucking-RAGEOUS, sir!

Vote them out; each and every one.
In November 2010, I see a political bloodbath.
Or an enema of epic proportions.
Either one suits me just fine.
I think it’s time we remembered the Tenth Amendment, and actually walked it out. I’m not a resident of VA, but they have banned the Federally-mandated HC Insurance bondage.
Awesome.
DB Jr: first, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and, moreover, thanks for taking the time to comment.
I would have to agree with you: there will be a political bloodbath. But I suspect it will occur on both sides of the aisle and not simply one.

Well bz, we should just call it the VA bill. Because they’re trying to force gubmint’ style of coverage much like the VA down everyones throats. I wish I had the choice to not pay into social security too, because I don’t want any ties to Uncle Sam, besides being a vet. We can’t let them pass this bill man, the VA is horrible, and its what gubmint run healthcare is in all its glory. I would never wish gubmit healthcare on anyone, and the lack of efficiency, much like VA. Shit on these morons in office.
The “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it” basically equates to, “Is that gun loaded? Let me put it to my head and pull the trigger to see.. “
It’s insanity, and sadly, far too many mostly decent Americans have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker…
Really, you don’t know what’s in the bill? You need the internet. Oh, wait.
So cheap to take an out of context video. But typical.
And it was Ok when Bush changed into an innocent country to kill millions based on a lie?
Hypocrites.
bd: bwaaaa-haa-haaa, Dick Cheney comes to visit you in your head at night, too! Be careful! Soon the wires will be exposed! Don’t ever get TOO close a haircut!
Remember: Dick secretly controls the WORLD! Bush was only his puppet!
1. Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t do it;
2. We never landed on the moon;
3. It was a missile that struck the Pentagon

Joint Resolution for the Congressional Authorization for the Use of Force Against Iraq 2002
Passed with substantial bipartisan support as did the previous bills during the Clinton Administration authorizing him to use means to overthrow the regime in Iraq.
Bunch of warmongers, those Congresscritters, voting for years to go after Iraq which was oh-so-innocent.
Too bad bd is a troll and unable to read or think without talking points. Needs them refreshed daily, with a back up of ready diatribe whenever necessary.
Mind you the Left was all for the overthrow of Saddam in the 1980’s when he was gassing the Kurds and committing genocide. Then he becomes the blameless sweet darling of the Left in the ’90s. Mind you he was still the same genocidal leader he was in the ’80s, just had most of the means bombed out from under him.
Whatever did happen to the Left that wanted the moral high ground against genocidal dictators? Oh, they abandoned that and decided to support them… so that they could tyrannize their own people and get SUPPORT from the Left. Good job on supporting genocidal dictators, bd!
Meanwhile the fact that Saddam couldn’t even keep his word on a cease fire seems to have escaped the international law loving Left. How come they can’t support international law against dictators who are genocidal? A cease fire is not a peace treaty, btw, but it is as binding as any treaty as it is made for humanitarian reasons to temporarily stop fighting to achieve certain ends. Saddam made a big show of NOT doing that in case that has been forgotten…
The Left is damned picky about what they do and do not want to support vis a vis international law, but it is not a pick and choose affair: it is all or none. I’m willing to do that as it is civilized to do so.
The Left?
Not so much.
