Some photos via PowerLine. I disagree to the extent that I do believe we can still kill the bill. They don't have the votes, yet. Showing up in Washington on the 16th may make them impossible to get. And don't forget the No Reconciliation petition at top right. ->
Does all of this activism matter? It won't stop the Democrats from doing whatever they have to do to pass a government takeover bill, but it's critical to continue building momentum to take the House back in November, begin efforts to repeal Obamacare should it pass, and generally reclaim our country from the reckless spendthrifts now at the wheel in Washington.


I wish I could say it would make a difference, but I sadly feel I will not. Obama is leading the way, willing to sacrifice his length in office for a fundamental change in the United States he aspires for. This is a man who still has the anger of an absentee father replaced by strong, radical Socialist men in his life as his beacon and WILL NOT STOP until he deals the defeat to America he so strongly feels she deserves.
People, this man is on a mission to destroy America as we have known her. It's now time to "cowboy up" and prevent him from succeeding. Obama needs to be politically castrated, and the American people wield the scissors to make it happen. I only hope we have the guts to to squeeze the blades shut before its too late.

Scissors are not the appropriate utensil to make this POTUS' Rocky Mountain Oysters ready for braising. Dan R. mentions the 16th of March on the Mall for an old fashioned demonstration of force. By now, even the corrupt MSM is sick of having to get their two-digit IQ talking heads out there explaining health care bill arcana without even a bill to work with. Nancy told witless flack Charlie Rose we'll get to see it only after it's passed!!! In the meantime, if 100,000 or 2 would show up to at least show that there's life in the Sheeple's corpse, the American people won't appear to be a complete cadaver.

It looks like a teabagger and snorkler convention.

Continue to build and organize the anti-Democrat vote with everyone and any one who is against it ( well only homo sapiens anyway ). The only way to have any kind of checks and balances right now is thru the voters. VOTE 111

AMEN to that, Dan! We can all make a difference! They don't have the votes! We have to make sure they never do!
TUESDAY IN DC! Make your voice heard!

Reconciliation is not an issue here. When the House passes the Senate bill (which already passed with a supermajority) then HCR is done. Scott Brown made promises he couldn't keep when he claimed to be able to stop it. This already passed in the Senate a month before he was elected. There is way too much misinformation swirling around on conservative blogs these days.
HCR is NOT being passed with reconciliation.

Rumor has it that conservatives have begun to disappear in large numbers; uttering high-decibel obscenities, tearing their hair out, and then exploding in puffs of black smoke. I guess nobody ever told them that their "rapture" was, in truth, a socialist weapon....

Please don't waste time arguing with the GOP posters here about HCR or reconciliation. I have tried and tried to get them to see that only a tiny fraction of the HCR bill is being done through reconciliation - but that doesn't matter to the uninformed dupes here. They believe what Palin and Limbaugh tell them - nothing more and nothing less.
They, of course, could research this themselves, but they don't. They, of course, could ask questions about this - but they won't. They could, of course, wonder for themselves whether this HCR bill will benefit them and their families, but they won't. They could look who is supporting the 'kill the bill' campaign (astroturf companies who get paid to derail our national interests) - but they won't. They are proud to purposely ignore simple facts as a way to be a part of the ever smaller GOP cult.
To them HCR is about hurting democrats and being in on the inside jokes about the black man in the White House. To progressives, it is a simple idea to help our fellow citizens. Which one sounds more patriotic?

Please tell me how is this a government takeover of HC. Also, for all the teabaggers coming to DC, make sure you join Dan in his mission to take on all the scary looking young black men that ride the Metro.

The funny thing about the GOP folks and their devotion to religion - they are the first to get caught with little boys and girls. Limbaugh has a huge problem with underaged girls and his inability to 'get it up'. Does that sound like a strong and brave leader? No. Beck was a coke addict and a drop out of everything he ever tried - except fooling the cultist in the GOP. Is that who you want to follow? Palin couldn't finish anything except maybe a bowel movement, and yet you follow her every word.
Maybe, just maybe, find better leaders? Nah, you folks are too lazy to do that. Keep following the grifters and hucksters. Liz and Sarah will get rich off your hard earned money. Ever get the feeling you have been cheated?

Dear Trolls,
Yeah, keep talking and trying to convince yourself that all will be well if ObamaCare passes. You're all like Adolf in the bunker, moving around non-existent armies, listening to the Russian artillery fire coming closer with each passing minute, yet all the while confidently predicting that "Steiner will save break through and save us."
Here's my four word November 2010 prediction for you and your misbegotten party if, or when, ObamAbortionCare passes: PAIN. SHOCK. ANNIHILATION. HUMILIATION.
I'll put up a sawbuck that says I'll be right. How about you?
Verstehen, Kameraden?

How about MarkJ, betting those who do not have HC.
