“If You Don’t Tie Our Hands, We Will Keep Stealing.”

Congressman Tom Perriello meets with Jefferson Area Tea Party March 16, 2010. “Social Security and Medicare are in trouble because politicians raided the cookie jar over and over again.

Now Obamacare looks to do more of the same by funding the government take over of health care by cutting Medicare and increasing SS. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, wake up America.

Obama finds himself with yet a new all time low in the Gallup poll.  48% disapprove of the job the President is doing while  only 46% approve.

Obama’s approval rating has hovered around 50% since November, but in the last two days has declined to the point that slightly more Americans now disapprove than approve of his performance in office.

The new low ratings come during a week in which the White House and Democratic congressional leaders are working to convince wavering House Democrats to support healthcare reform, which they hope to pass using a series of parliamentary maneuvers in the House of Representatives and Senate.

The Rasmussen Presidental Daily Tracking poll has Barack Obama now at a -20. Obama’s numbers continue to plummet as he and Democrats force through health care reform against the will of the people. For Obama, it stopped being about government of the people, by the people and for the people a long time ago.

A note to the President and Democrats who support and vote for Obamacare … see you in November 2010 and 2012.  50% of US voters say they are less likely to vote for their representative in Congress this November if he or she votes for Obamacare.

We the People “DEEM” this Congress unfit to lead …

Say hello to the Pelosi, Democrat,  gutless run Congress.  As stated at by Michelle Malkin, a ‘yes’ vote on the previous question is a vote to authorize Speaker Pelosi to use the Slaughter Solution to ram ObamaCare through the House without an up-or-down vote. A ‘no’ vote on the previous question is a vote against the Slaughter Solution. ” The following are the Democrats who joined Republicans in a bipartisan manner to stop the insanity of the Pelosi run House. So many Blue Dog Democrats know that “deeming” the vote is poison … Pelosi says, pass the Kool-aide.

The 28 Dems who joined Republicans in opposing deem-and-pass cramdown:

Adler (NJ)
Arcuri
Boren
Bright
Carney
Childers
Cooper
Costello
Dahlkemper
Davis (AL)
Giffords
Herseth Sandlin
Holden
Kosmas
Kratovil
Lipinski
McIntyre
McNerney
Melancon
Michaud
Minnick
Mitchell
Nye
Perriello
Shuler
Stupak
Taylor
Teague

NRO has the list of vulnerable Democrats who just voted “yea” that the health care bill does not require a separate vote, and that demonpass/deem-and-pass is just dandy.

What kind of gutless cowards would not want to have an up and down vote on the single most important piece of legislation that looks to overturn health care insurance, increase taxes, raise the deficit, take over student loans, allow political kick backs and bribes for votes and so much more that we are not even allowed to see in this disaster of a health care bill.

Democrats shot down a Republican effort to force an up-or-down vote on the Senate healthcare bill on Thursday afternoon.

In a 222-203 vote, Democrats beat back a GOP resolution offered by Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) that would have forced lawmakers to vote on the Senate healthcare bill separately from the series of fixes they hope to make to that legislation.

All Republican lawmakers who voted opposed the measure, which had the effect of ending the GOP’s effort to force a vote. They were joined by 28 Democrats, who broke with party members on the vote.

Two hundred and twenty-two Democrats supported the measure, though — enough to proceed. Three members of either party did not vote.

Republicans had hoped for the separate vote to get Democratic lawmakers on record on the Senate bill, which includes some provisions on abortion, excise taxes and other issues that House lawmakers find distasteful.

At this stage of the proceedings, Democrats plan a vote on a rule on Sunday that would make changes to the Senate-passed bill while deeming the original legislation to have passed the House.

The Ace of Spades brings up a troubling notion as to if 222 Democrats have voted for bypassing the US Constitution, will these people also then vote for Obamacare?

The Slaughter Rule will result in an even bigger political slaughter in 2010 and 2012. We the People will not forget.

I would like to refocus efforts on a more pressing matter; the hearing on behalf of Casey Anthony regarding the indingency petition that has recently been approved through Orange County Clerk of Courts.

There is a reason why President Obama’s approval ratings are tanking.  Gallup poll now has Obama more unfavorable than favorable.  Yesterda’s display by The One of once again not being able to answer Obamacare questions and concerns further showed by he is considered the most partisan President ever.

FOX News’ Bret Baeir interviewed President Obama on Obamacare and it became evident rather quickly that The One was not used to being challenged by any tough questions.  During the interview Obama became frustrated by being challenged and interrupted. There was no teleprompter to save Obama as he filibustered his way through the interview with his talking points.  It also became rather obvious why Obama has not held very many press conferences with the media. Why did he accept to do this interview then?

As stated by NRO, this was the best interview of Obama of the year by any media.

Full Transcript HERE.

BAIER: You called it an ugly process just last month.

OBAMA: I’ve got to tell — I’ve got to say to you, there are a lot more people who are concerned about the fact that they may be losing their house or going bankrupt because of health care.

BAIER: OK, so we have —

OBAMA: And so — so the — look —

BAIER: Deem and passed, Senate reconciliation and we don’t know exactly what’s in the fix bill. Do you still think —

OBAMA: No, we will — by the time the vote has taken place, not only I will know what’s in it, you’ll know what’s in it because it’s going to be posted and everybody’s going to be able to able to evaluate it on the merits.

But here’s the thing, Bret, I mean, the reason that I think this conversation ends up being a little frustrating is because the focus entirely is on Washington process. And yes, I have said that is an ugly process. It was ugly when Republicans were in charge, it was ugly were in Democrats were in charge.

BAIER: This is one-sixth of the U.S. economy, though, sir. One-sixth.

Obama also stated during the interview that, ‘Procedural’ Spat Over Health Bill Vote Doesn’t Worry Me’

Procedural spat, Constitution be damned says Obama. Please note that the process that President Barack Hussein Obama talks about as not being important and what the people do not care to deal with is called the US CONSTITUTION.

One thing is for certain, there is a reason why every poll shows that Americans want nothing to do with Obamacare. Obama nor his minions have never been able to sit down and honestly explain the bill without using lies, distortions and talking points.

This interview was full of so many WTF moments from Obama, we saw witness as to why The One hides behind a teleprompter.

Has Bill O’Reilly finally seen the light with regards to Barack Obama?

Bill O’Reilly has given President Barack Hussin Obama the benefit of the doubt every inch of the way in an effort to be “fair and balanced”. BOR has argued against Conservatives that Obama is a danger to the Constitution and has provided Obama cover in hopes of gaining an interview.  However, last night while discussing back door manuevers like “deeming,” Bill O’Reilly stated the following on The Factor:

“If democrats don’t do an up or down vote, President Obama is done.”

Partial transcript from The Gateway Pundit:

The outcry in this country would be so enormous, the anger so intense that it would pretty much doom the Obama Administration…

…If they don’t do an up or down vote, President Obama is done. His whole term is done. Whether it passes or fails it doesn’t matter. If they try to sneak it around the back door by some kind of parliamentary procedure nobody’s ever heard of… I want an up or down vote and I don’t really care. 95% of Americans do as well. If they do this it’s the end of the Obama Administration. It’s over.

Really Bill, what was your first clue? Have you been paying attention to this health care debate and the Obama WH pulling the strings behind the scenes in making dirty deals and threatening those who would dare vote against Obamacare?  Of course the “Slaughter” solution will do nothing but get Democrats slaughtered in the midterms and thereafter.

O’Reilly, have you figured out yet … Democrats and Obama just don’t care what they do to them self, the Country or the Constitution. It’s all about passing Obamacare and the government incrementalism of the take over of 1/6th of the US economy.

The meeting agenda will include the Harrington’s ongoing concerns for womens safety on and off campus, and their fears associated with the fact that there has not been an arrest in their daughters murder to date.

According to CNN, Health care foes 11 votes shy of defeating bill. I believe I would rephrase that to American patriots are 11 votes shy of defeating the Obamacare plan of the government take over of health care.

Five more House Democrats said Tuesday that they will vote against Senate health care legislation, which puts opponents of reform just 11 votes shy of the 216 needed to prevent President Obama from scoring a major victory on his top domestic priority.

An ongoing CNN analysis shows that opposition in the House to the Senate health care plan has reached 205 members.

A total of 27 House Democrats, including nine who supported the House plan in November, have indicated that they would join a unified Republican caucus in opposing the Senate plan, which passed in that chamber December 24 with the minimum required 60 votes.

AMERICA, WE THE PEOPLE … it is up to us. Here is the list of contacts of the US House Representativesto call in Washington, DC. Make your voice be heard. CALL EARLY, CALL OFTEN.

As NRO refers to them … are there 11 angry men out there that can put a stake into the heart of Obamacare?

However, if Pelosi cannot get the votes, will she implement the Slaughter House rules?  But as reported at the Gateway Pundit, Mark Levin, the Great One, announced that the Landmark Legal Foundation and he are prepared to fight this health care bill if it is passed via the Slaughter rule.

From the Gateway Pundit …

Amazing. And, they actually take this liar seriously…
Obama told a group of guppies yesterday that with Obamacare their premiums will decrease by 3,000%.
And, they actually clapped and screamed when he fed them this manure.

Talk about your mind numb robots. Folks, when are you going to stop believing the lies from this man’s mouth? Who honestly believes that your employer is going to give you a raise with any so-called benefits they might save?

However, you know what is going to occur? Every business will not provide health care coverage, will push you onto the government option and then let’s see what kind of care you receive and if you can continue to see your same doctor.

Obama will say and do anything to have Obamacare pass. We very weary of any individual that is so hell bent on passing something when everyone else wants no part of it. Ask yourself why? Maybe it is because this is just the beginning of what Democrats want in their attempt to take over. Just take a look at what Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi said just the other day … “Kick open that door, and there will be other legislation to follow.”

Pelosi said passing the bill would allow Dems to undertake a “debate” with Republicans over “what is the balanced role that government should have.”

“We have to take it to the American people, to say, this is the choice that you have,” she said. “This is the vision that they have for your health and well being, and this is the vision that we have.”…

Pelosi also sought to reassure those unhappy with the Senate bill by stressing that future legislation would follow, suggesting that after they passed this legislation Dems might try to do away with the insurance industry’s antitrust exemption, among other unnamed initiatives.

“Kick open that door, and there will be other legislation to follow,” she said. “We’ll take the country in a new direction.”

President Barack Obama has threatened Democrats that he will not campaign or help raise money for any Democrats who vote against Obamacare. How is that “Hopey, Changey” thing working out for you Democrats? Talk about your great bills for “We the People”, Obama has to bribe and threaten Congress for its support.

So what Democrat with receive a fish in a box or a horse head in their bed?

The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.

A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.

Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.

Mr Obama is personally telephoning congressmen who are still on the fence this week, in between several personal appearances devoted toward swinging public opinion.

This from the President who campaigned on the notion that he would change the way DC conducted business. Obama stated that he would act in a bipartisan manner and reach across the aisle to Republicans. Instead, Obama threatens members of his own party.

One would have to ask them self if it may not be a benefit to have Obama stay away from their Senate or House race in 2010. Just ask former governor John Corzine in NJ, Creigh Deeds in VA and Martha Coakley in MA, all who went down to terrible defeats as Obama campaigned for them. Face it, Obama’s poll numbers are tanking and are presently in the mid-40’s. There is opposition in every poll to Obamacare. The smart play for Democrats may be to vote against Obamacare and distance them self from the President. Not because it is the smart political play, but because it is the will of the people.

Here’s the thing: What good would any of this do? To preserve your seat in an anti-incumbent, anti-Washington, anti-big government year, you have to distance yourself from Obama and the national Democrats anyway — which is why you want to vote No in the first place!

The Obama WH has put deadline after deadline in place to pass Obamacare, all have been ignored by Congress. Let us not forget that Obama wanted this health care government take over sign, sealed and delivered before the last August break in 2009. The way it appears now the vote may take place after the Easter recess.

Obama has always asked for bipartisanship in Washington, DC. Now that he has it Obama brings out his Chicago-style politics of threats. There is bipartisan support against Obamacare. There are Democrats that do not support this bill yet The One insists they vote yea for it either by hook, crook, bribe or threat.  As The NRO states, just how many Democrats will there be this coming 2010 midterm election that hope that Obama stays away from their district?

Maybe they should, they could learn something about the Constitutionality of how a bill actually does become a law. Let’s face it, Democrats just don’t care whether what they do is Constitutional or not. Pass Obamacare at all cost no matter what damage it does.

More Hope, Change and transparency as Obama, Pelosi and Reid look to ram Obamacare down the throat of America.  Barack Obama promised to change the way Washington, DC conducted business. Who knew that meant throwing the US Constitution out the window. As the WAPO writes, the House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it.

After laying the groundwork for a decisive vote this week on the Senate’s health-care bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Monday that she might attempt to pass the measure without having members vote on it.

Instead, Pelosi (D-Calif.) would rely on a procedural sleight of hand: The House would vote on a more popular package of fixes to the Senate bill; under the House rule for that vote, passage would signify that lawmakers “deem” the health-care bill to be passed.

The tactic — known as a “self-executing rule” or a “deem and pass” — has been commonly used, although never to pass legislation as momentous as the $875 billion health-care bill. It is one of three options that Pelosi said she is considering for a late-week House vote, but she added that she prefers it because it would politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure.

UPDATE I: SC Senator Lindsey Graham stated Pelosi has House Dems ‘liquored up on sake’ ready for ’suicide run’.We will go one better and call them terrorist suicide bombers. Might as well make the suicide mission more current.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday used language that compared House Democrats’ efforts to pass healthcare reform legislation to a Japanese kamikaze mission.

“Nancy Pelosi, I think, has got them all liquored up on sake and you know, they’re making a suicide run here,” Graham said on the Keven Cohen Show on WVOC radio in Columbia, S.C.

EXIT QUESTION: How bad is a bill if one, all polls show that Americans oppose it and two, Democrats are attempting every political trick in the book to get it passed, other than normal procedure?

Ask yourself why Democrats would do such a thing? It’s not for the American people.  The more ‘We the People” stand up in opposition to this bill, the more Obama, Pelosi and Reid thumb their noses at us.

The Obama government is out of control.

So we take a terrible piece of health care legislation and use emotion of and sympathies of this woman’s situation to pass government take over of health care.  Canfield’s letter to Obama is a compelling one, but is it the complete story? Hardly, as the Gateway Pundit opines in his post, wonder why Natoma Canfield was not able to introduce Barack Obama in Ohio yesterday? Because she was in the hospital receiving health care even though she had no insurance.

As Another Black Conservative states, Natoma Canfied is a 50-year-old unemployed woman who had to drop her health insurance because the price went from $5,000 to $8,000.  Natoma is terrified she will soon lose her home.

Wait a minute, lose her house? Does Barack Hussein Obama have the “Making Home Affordable” program that accounts for such things? It allows for loan refinancing and modification. Here are the eligibility requirement, it would appear that Natoma Canfield would qualify. By the way, Canfield is living in a house her parents built. Mortgage, eh?

Cancer Patient Who Wrote to Obama Will Not Lose Home, May Get Aid

Low and behold, looky here … she is actually eligible for Medicaid and charity care. The fact of the matter is it is an individuals responsibility to see what they may and may not be eligible for. Instead of worrying, mitigate your damages.

Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama’s push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her told FoxNews.com.

Though Canfield’s sister Connie Anderson said her sibling is afraid she’ll lose her house and Obama warned at an Ohio rally Monday that the patient is “racked with worry” about the cost of tests and treatment, she is already being screened for financial help.

Lyman Sornberger, executive director of patient financial services at the Cleveland Clinic, said “all indications” at the outset are that she will be considered for assistance.

Do not get me wrong, I do believe that there needs to be some health care reform; however, nothing of what Obama spews is a fix. It is about control. This is about the incremental step to a single health payer system run by the government. While Medicare goes bankrupt, Obama and his cronies look to expand government run health care. Town Hall.com puts it best when it states that if Obama really cared about a health care reform for the people, health care would be maintained by the individual, not insurance carriers, employers or especially the government.

In addition, if the president really wanted to help people like Ms. Canfield, he would encourage the individual ownership rights over health care plans so the American people can maintain control over their health insurance, not employers or the government.
