DEMOCRATS DIVERSION TACTICS TO AVOID THE REAL ISSUES

All of sudden all talk by the dumbassocrats has shifted from healthcare to the despicable actions of anti-healthcare tea potters.  They have accused these legitimate protesters of spitting on them, calling them derogatory names, blowing up their homes and offices, and sending them threatening emails and telephone calls.

According to Neal Boortz the last thing the ObamaZombies want to do is debate ObamaCare on its merits:
  • They don't want to have to defend the revelation that Obama and his family will not be subject to the restrictions, requirements and penalties of ObamaCare.
  • They don't want to have to explain how an insurance company can charge lower premiums when its healthier policy holders take a hike and they're forced to insure people who are already sick.
  • They don't want a discussion on how our children and grandchildren are going to pay off the massive debt they will have to overcome courtesy of ObamaCare.
  • They don't want to have to defend the gimmicks they used to force the Congressional Budget Office to falsely report that ObamaCare would reduce the deficit.
  • They don't want to discuss the logic of fining a young person 2.2% of their income if they refuse to buy an insurance policy they think they won't need that would cost them 10% of their income.
  • They don't want to have to explain just why ObamaCare will not follow the path of Medicare and the prescription drug benefit ... the path to actual costs over and above projected costs by a factor of 10 or more.
  • They don't want to discuss Fidel Castro's glowing endorsement of ObamaCare yesterday.
  • They don't want to discuss just why Democrats absolutely refused to consider simple and easily enforced private sector options, such as allowing insurance companies to sell their policies across state lines, before moving toward healthcare nationalization.
  • They don't want to explain just where in the Constitution they found that nifty little clause that gives the government the authority to use its police power to force a free American citizen to enter into a contract to purchase something from a private company against their will.
  • They don't want to have to explain why Caterpillar has already announced that as many as 1000 workers will lose their jobs after the passage of ObamaCare.
We could go on and on here ... but you get the idea. These are simply facts, questions, policies and anomalies that the Democrats don't want to talk about ... so what do they do to avoid the conversation? Simple! They just used their sycophants in the ObamaMedia to portray opponents of ObamaCare as psycho-nutjobs who need to be put in straitjackets or internment camps somewhere to protect all that is decent and wonderful in the Democrat's brave new welfare state.

This is just a lot of liberal hooey; it is right out of the socialists handbook for taking over our country.  It is "DIVERSION" with a capital "D."  I hope none of you are swallowing this line of BS.

INTERESTING COMMENT FROM A SENATOR

"Sunday night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the massive health care bill that carries a trillion dollar price tag, cuts Medicare by $500 billion, raises $500 billion in new taxes, and requires every American to purchase health insurance or face a penalty to be collected by the IRS. Unfortunately, this health care bill will now be signed into law.
Now the Senate is being asked to approve a number of so-called "fixes" to the health care bill through a legislative procedure called reconciliation. The changes suggested will make a bad bill worse by adding more tax increases, cutting more from Medicare, and forcing more people into the broken Medicaid system.

The reconciliation bill seeks $50 billion in additional tax increases, it doubles the tax on health insurers, and raises additional taxes and fees on drug makers and medical devices. It also seeks to triple the penalty on small business owners who cannot afford to provide their workers with health coverage, meaning employers might face a $2,000 per person fine.
The so-called fixes offered through the reconciliation process cut Medicare Advantage programs by $60 billion bringing the total cuts to the program to $200 billion. The total Medicare cuts add up to $523 billion. Unfortunately, all of that money will fund new entitlement programs instead of being used to make Medicare secure for our seniors."

WHY DO THESE DUMBASSOCRATS MAKE THESE PLEDGES IF THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF HONORING THEM? OH, I FORGOT, THEY HAVE NO HONOR. WTF!

Pelosi Breaks Pledge to Put Final Health Care Bill Online for 72 Hours Before Vote

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the speaker will not allow the final language of the health care to be posted online for 72 hours before bringing the bill to a vote on the House floor, despite her September 24 statement that she was "absolutely" committed to doing so.

House members are still negotiating important issues in the bill--whether it will provide taxpayer-funding for abortions, for example. Pelosi is pushing for a Saturday House vote, and a number of big changes will be introduced, likely less than 24 hours before the vote takes place (if in fact it does). The Rules Committee hasn't yet released its resolution, or rule, that must be passed before the bill can move from committee to the floor. The rule will set the terms of debate and determine what amendments are in order.

It seems likely that the rule will allow very few, if any, up-or-down votes on amendments on the House floor. Rather, the rule will include a series of amendments that will all be adopted at once if the rule passes.

On September 24, Speaker Nancy Pelosi told THE WEEKLY STANDARD that she was "absolutely" committed to putting the text of the final House bill online for 72 hours before the House votes.
