URGENT! House Dems Plan to Pass Health Care Bill WITHOUT a Vote!   

Democrats need to realize that no one hold on to power for ever. Ever new power that this Congress creates now will be passed on to the new Congress. I know Democrats will look at this as a stroke of genius but what we they think when Republicans use this power. That is my question to the Senate wanting to use reconciliation also. Democrats will not hold on to every branch of government for ever. Democrats do you really want Republicans to be able to use this tactic, then you should not want your party to use it either.

Government is dead. They're like media. People have been systematically seizing power in America in any possible way they could for years now.

There's absolutely NO better way than to be a politician.

It's ridiculous.

I usually love to rant, but I can't unjumble (is that a word?) my mind at the moment.

All I know is, the more they constantly reach for power, the less paranoid the so-called "fringe" right looks.

They can stand on high and command some of the population to attack each other and to hold business accountable and even to blame America for America, but there are still enough people in the country, and I'm one of them, who will not take too kindly to a grossly overreaching government.

Haughty azzes in power always underestimate the common person's desire to be free.

Oops.

I think that if that is what they do, every single one of them should be impeached for disregarding the will of the people. To pass something like that, that affects every one of our lives, without a vote or input from the people is a constitutional crime. If it happens, I hope there are demonstrations and protests across the country!

I wish there was some way to convince the entire nation to stop paying taxes. Take the money away from them and they can't spend it.

I think this is an absolute disgrace! Obama is so determined to get his own way he will stop at nothing. What also make me mad is that I heard some politicians say we should pass the bill now and then we can make some tweaks or changes later!! Are these people insane!!!! Obama will never allow anything to change...it is his way or no way! I hope to God they Impeach Obama soon as if he is allowed to run rampant for three more years we are doomed or a new Third World Country!

If they can do this why not just save money and let Speaker Pelosi decide what bill will pass and what ones will not. Think how much money we could save if we eliminated 434 Representatives. This will mean that we have to Assume that she is reelected to Congress and since she is the only member she can vote herself Speaker.

I don't doubt that this closed door meeting is to discuss how to get away with this no vote option; but the republicans are looking into the constitutionality of it.

Democrats Consider Drastic Moves to Pass Health Care Bill Written By: Ben Domenech Publication date: 03/11/2010 Publisher: The Heartland Institute

"I want to ensure there is an expedited review process to have the Supreme Court look at this. It’s about as unconstitutional as anything I’ve ever seen,” Orin Hatch (R-UT) told Health Care News. “To pass a $2.5 trillion bill without the House even voting on it, by using manipulative parliamentary gimmicks, is just not the right thing to do.

It is mindboggling what they are considering doing,” Hatch said. “They cannot win by being straight up and honest about it, so they’re going to try to win at all costs and hope this issue will go away. But it’s not going to go away. The American people are up in arms about it. And they should be.”

I hope Orin Hatch is right that the American people are up in arms about this and will not let Pelosi and Slaughter get away with this, because if we aren't, our elections and votes mean nothing and our representative form of government is abolished. What would stop the democrats from doing the same thing at any time?

I can only hope that, if the Dems go forward with this parliamentary trick, its constitutionality is challenged immediately. Then the people speak loud and clear this Fall, if not sooner in protests of Congress.

Im Canadian but its the same here, they do what they want. They find loopholes in the laws and theres nothing you can do.

I know our votes dont mean a thing, not here, and not anywhere. I found out the hard way while working for the elections and I ended up being escorted out because I was being too loud about it. Nobody ever believed me. Elections are fixed.
