The cold, hard proof that Congressional Democrats despise Obamacare

1. THEY EXEMPTED THEMSELVES You read that right. ObamaCare is so wonderful, so Utopian, so amazing, that Democrats in Congress exempted themselves, their families, their staff members and the President's clan from having to wait in line under socialized medicine.

2. THE 'BENEFITS' OF DEMCARE DON'T START UNTIL 2014 To postpone the wonderfulness until after the 2012 presidential election, Democrats purposefully delayed health care spending until 2013 and 2014. Every day, Democrats told us, 35,000 people lost their health insurance (primarily because they lost their jobs under the Obamaconomy, but I digress). So these people remain screwed.

And you know those sickly child props the Democrats rolled onstage like a Jerry Lewis telethon to pitch DemCare?

Sorry, kids. You've got as much of a chance of getting covered under DemCare as Michael Moore has of getting his own Jenny Craig commercial.

But, Melvin, it's so historic.

The ‘Slaughter Solution’ Is Nothing Short Of Treason Against The American Republic

2010 March 15

Despite the shocking loss of Ted Kennedy’s old Massachusetts Senate seat and the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia and opinion polls consistently showing an overwhelming majority of Americans opposed to ObamaCare, progressives in the nation’s capital show no signs of backing off. They are hellbent on forcing change down the throats of Americans even if it means shredding the Constitution by using the so-called Slaughter Solution that would allow ObamaCare to pass without a vote on the legislation.

President George W. Bush, vilified as he was by the left when he was in office, didn’t try to impose his will on the American people without lawmakers taking a vote. Faux conservatives Karl Rove and former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) pushed the misguided, useless Medicare Part D plan (prescription drugs for seniors) and twisted lawmakers’ arms to get it passed. As contemptible as their behavior was to real conservatives (i.e. people who believe in limited government), even they didn’t try to ram their legislation through without the people’s representatives voting on it. They acknowledged by their behavior that Congress makes the laws.

But leftists don’t care about the Constitution and are content to transform America into a kind of low-grade dictatorship if it helps their healthcare nationalization legislation go through. They want it done and they want it done now by any means possible. (Historian Michael Zak likens the healthcare proposal to the infamous Enabling Act.)

If the flagrantly unconstitutional Slaughter Solution is used and allowed to stand it amounts in a sense to a coup d’etat, that is, a fundamental structural change in our system of government without the consent of the governed. Nothing will stop the Democrats in the future from imposing their will on the American people without taking a vote. Hello cap-and-trade and card check. Anyone who supports the Slaughter Solution supports a kind of treason against the Republic.

This is not a rhetorical flourish. Congress passes the laws of the land. If the laws of the land can be approved by Congress without a vote being taken in which lawmakers are forced to take a stand for or against, the whole idea of representative government is washed away.

Radio talk show host Mark Levin was dead on last week when he said on his show that House Rules Committee chairman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) should be expelled from Congress for promoting her authoritarian plan for avoiding a vote on ObamaCare. It should surprise no one that Slaughter is a longtime ally of organized crime syndicate ACORN which she voted to keep federal tax dollars flowing to even after ACORN workers were shown on video enabling the sexual exploitation of underage girls.

She’s not the only one who should be expelled from Congress. Anyone who supports the Slaughter Solution supports the overthrow of the American system of government. Anyone who votes for it should make their peace with the political gods because electoral judgment is coming in November.

I agree, this is treason. This is how dictators like Hugo Chavez acquire power. We've all seen it before in Nicaragua too. They also tried in Honduras last year and Obama supported the attempted takeover of the Constitutional Republic. It was fair to question their commitment to our constitution then, and now we know.

I suppose if they can do this they will think they can end two term Presidential limits and Obama can become president for life like they do it in Latin America?

.
Why is no one bringing treason charges against any of these traitors to the Constitution???? Is everyone afraid to stand up to these people?

Our Founders deliberately designed our government to make it difficult to pass laws. This attempt to circumvent the Constitution should be opposed by members of both parties.

Wait, I just forgot that we no longed have a representative government. Our objections and opinions are no longer important to our new overlords.
Demo dirtbags at their finest...screw the laws. Obama is the Obamination of the office of president...we need to take everything back in Nov and then impeach him and jail all the thugs for life!
Why do we need a Constitution any more? Why do we need a Congress any more? We only need our dear leader-for-life Dr Obama to make all the correct laws.

Well said, Matthew. Treason is about to be committed by the legislative branch of our government and it is supported by the executive branch. It is without a doubt a coup by the Left which will enable them to complete majority control of the American economy (56%,) and cede precedence to the passage of legislation while ignoring Constitutional law going forward.
If the HCB passed using this or some other trick, all bets are off. We will have to face the reality that we are dealing with a dictatorship. Once the rules are thrown out- I think it will be impossible to enforce them ever again. A November election will not be enough to save us unless every person who took part in the betrayal of our nation is removed from office and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
I hope that the Democrats realize that they are setting a new precedence. One that could easily be used against them in the future.

What you expect from a socialist thugs who take their marching orders from the politburo of Obama, Reid,
and Pelosi. Before is too late we must pressure those Wavering lapdogs. If we don't America is cooked
At this point, if this bill passes it will transform - perhaps forever - the most beautiful form of government ever created. We have elected a person more dangerous to a free society than the threat posed by the USSR, Castro, and Hitler combined.
So how long until the blood starts flowing? Because none of this will end well.
If it's unconstitutional, can't the Supreme Court overturn it?

Better yet, can't the Supreme Court stop it like they did the counting in Florida?

If it's unconstitutional, why can't someone file an injunction? Is Congress above that?

Obama Now Selling Judgeships for Health Care Votes?

TheWeeklyStandard.com
March 4th, 2010

BY JOHN MCCORMACK, The Weekly Standard

Obama is wheeling and dealing to get healthcare through

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

“Scott Matheson is a distinguished candidate for the Tenth Circuit court,” President Obama said. “Both his legal and academic credentials are impressive and his commitment to judicial integrity is unwavering. I am honored to nominate this lifelong Utahn to the federal bench.”

So, Scott Matheson appears to have the credentials to be a judge, but was his nomination used to buy off his brother’s vote?

The timing of this nomination looks suspicious, especially in light of Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak’s claim that he was offered a federal job not to run against Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania primary. Many speculated that Sestak, a former admiral, was offered the Secretary of the Navy job.

Obama's Messiah Complex: Arrogant, self-serving, megalomaniacal, delusional, and demented Down for the Count?

By Dave Macy Saturday, January 30, 2010

It would be presumptive on my part to declare the Obama presidency DOA. While it may stink like a rotting corpse, the administration is not ready to be embalmed and sized for a coffin—not just yet. It’s a long way until the November elections and after the Massacre in Massachusetts any other president would have realized there is little Hope for any Change brought on by grandiose (a nice word for Marxist) plans to move America deeper into a totalitarian state.

Any other president might disagree with a Supreme Court ruling, but would not be so full of him or herself as to use the State of the Union address to dress down the highest court in the land. We’re going to have to find a new word to describe this guy—arrogant, self-serving, megalomaniacal, delusional, and demented; nothing in Webster’s comes close to nailing his messiah complex!

In the face of a reality check he sees only spoon fed socialism and the continuation of big government power grabbing as the only way to save America. Save us for what—to become a third world country? Well we’re half way there thanks to the Democrats’ rubber stamp on a so called stimulus package. Obviously Mr. O is not smarter than a fifth grader who knows you can’t borrow and spend yourself into economic recovery.

But back to the headline—is O down for the count? If the Miracle in Massachusetts didn’t snap the Commander of the Teleprompter to attention and “dress right”, maybe a wholesale change in the House will ‘center’ him in November. I never declare anyone who is down totally out until the ten count. Which brings to mind Tiger Woods. That was a 14 count or more. But he’ll be back on the course—assumingly cured of his obsession with sex and maybe even a confession or two on national TV.

But the prez, unlike Tiger who went into seclusion after losing his wife and kids and the image which brought him a billion in sponsorships, has so far decided to stay the course. It is a course with huge bunkers and hazards that Mr. Obama, instead of taking a drop and playing from the fairway, continues to hack away in the rough.

As long as the president is determined to enact the policies of George Soros, and continues to give speeches ghost written by Bill Ayers, he will remain lying dazed and bloodied on the political canvas with the sound of “six…seven…eight…nine”… ringing in his ears.

Sorry to sport with the president by mixing golfing and boxing metaphors. Maybe his attempt to retool the BCS will endear him to college football fans everywhere and give him a rise in the polls. Or he may finally drop back and punt. There I go again!

“Ten…Yer OUT!”
