I ain't one to get involved in political dis-cuss-shuns, but this crap is really startin to t me off...on top of scarin the h ell outta me, too.
I ain't the smartest guy on the planet, especially when it comes to stuff like this. I DO know I don't like it.
This Washington Post headline
yesterday is all you need to know about how corrupt the process has
become to pass ObamaCare by any means necessary this week: "House may
try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it."
Huh?
You read that correctly. Because Speaker Pelosi cannot find enough
votes to pass the deeply unpopular ObamaCare bill in a constitutional
way, she is hoping you and other Americans won't notice, or won't care,
whether she passes ObamaCare in an unconstitutional and blatantly
corrupt way.
Her latest plan is called the "Slaughter Rule", which would
allow the House to vote on a different bill and "deem" the Senate's
ObamaCare bill as being "passed" at the same time as the other bill is
passed, without having an actual up and down vote on the ObamaCare bill.
Said
Pelosi in an interview;"It's more insider
and process-oriented than most people want to know....but I like it,
because people don't have to vote on the Senate bill."
Pelosi may like "deeming" laws passed, but passing laws without
voting on them is blatantly unconstitutional. As former federal judge
Michael McConnell wrote in the Wall Street Journal:
"It may be clever, but it is not constitutional. To become law...the Senate health-care bill must actually be signed into law. The Constitution speaks directly to how that is done. According to Article I, Section 7, in order for a "Bill" to "become a Law," it "shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate" and be "presented to the President of the United States" for signature or veto. Unless a bill actually has "passed" both Houses, it cannot be presented to the president and cannot become a law."
Speaker Pelosi and President Obama are counting on you, your
friends, and your family not to notice or care that they are doing this.
This
is just one more example of the bribery and corruption that has been
used to try and pass ObamaCare, like the Cornhusker Kickback and the
Louisiana Purchase.
If they are willing to
corrupt our constitutional system right before our eyes to pass
Obamacare, why should we have any confidence that they won't corrupt
your healthcare when nobody is paying attention?

Amen! The majority of Americans are opposed to this plan. Not one member of congress has even seen the bill yet, much less read it, and they are being blackmailed by Obama/Pelosi to pass it anyway. The price they will pay for not going along is that anything they want to do ever again will be turned down. And if they vote yes, they can get all kinds of pork for their home district, at taxpayer expense.
My wife found a web site with the phone numbers of all members of congress, and went down the list calling every one of them. It is not too late for more of us to do that.
