refusal by the left to recognize the idea behind the Constitution. The point is to LIMIT the scope of government. This country is great not because of government, but in spite of it. Obama and his minions are of the mindset that this statisim just hasn’t been tried by bureaucrats as smart as they are. Rubbish! And as for the desire to turn over health care to the federal government; please STOP. I don’t need a 2000+ page directive on how to buy a ham sandwich at my local supermarket. The ingredients are there, and all without federal edicts. The system works if government gets out of the way. The way to control costs in the system is to get government out of the way. Remove the barriers that discourage medical consumers from shopping for and dealing directly with medical providers. The Constitution has a wonderful way of solving all of these problems. You take care of you, I’ll take care of me. If I decide to help support someone out of a job, down on their luck, or in need of help with medical costs, I can choose to do that. The government is not empowered, and should not be empowered, to make these decisions for me,

The Red States for the most part understand this is an infringment. I’d like to see all of them come out now and rebuke this unconstitutional power grab. Stop focusing on pieces of the bill here and there, and rebuke the whole thing.

When you get down to it, all of these bills are little more than tax increases (and not just for “the rich”).

They don’t want to admit it because they would have to acknowledge that Obama lied.

The Constitution is a social contract in which citizens imposed restrictions and limitations on the size and scope of the federal government. ObamaCare is a piece of legislation in which the federal government imposes on supposedly free citizens mandates and requirements exceeding constitutional authority.

Therefore, the shalls and shall nots in the Constitution apply primarily to the federal government, while the shalls and shall nots in the health care bill apply primarily to the supposedly free citizens of this once-free nation.

Big Difference. Morons.

the point of your prior post, and in their dismissal draws an eggheaded comparison between apples and skyscrapers (At times, you have to look up to see both of them, right? So, they are alike, right?). My IQ fell 30 points while reading their response. Head hurts.
The 2074-page Senate Health Care bill – “The Colossus of Rogues” I call it- is a blueprint for a centralized power grab of an additional one-sixth of the US economy. It seems MM is fine with that. Ignore them. They are not on your side, and they are too stupid or blinded by collectivist ideology to understand arguments about individual freedom of choice, self-determination, and privacy with regard to your health care.

…just tend to ignore it.

Tragically, I doubt we could find enough “original intent” members of Congress to fill an average committee, let alone fill both houses.

The United States Constitution means exactly what it says. It’s not difficult to read at all. Why do our elected officials have such trouble understanding it?

$13,000,000,000,000.00 +/- $500,000,000,000.00, here or there. Current Federal Deficit (estimated) over the next 10 years.

For those who cannot understand the word DEFICIT, try bouncing a check for even .000001% of that number above. “They” would lock you in a cell, and throw away the cell.

What this bill (combined with the Porkulous, Omnibus, and TARP) constitutes is “Conspiracy to Commit a Felony” and they should all be jailed.

in our broken education system. The left is being intellectually dishonest with their nullification of the intent of the Constitution. Our youth from the 80′s doesn’t have the personal history of statist governments. Those films of people trying to escape tyranny from East Berlin and being shot down and left to die like dogs. I don’t forget those images and the job the media was doing many years ago. People like Bill Ayres and groups such as the Tides Foundation have infused themselves into all levels of education to spread their ideology, and have done it well.
