Hi Michelle I totally agree with everything except the very last "Kick open that door, and there will be other legislation to follow. We'll take the country in a new direction." Yep -- straight to a red-ink-stained hell in a handbasket. You should say " straight to a BLOOD-red-stained hell in a handbasket.

It appears that we are losing this BATTLE on "healthscare 2010" since nobody in Washington has a conscience and an American patriotic bone in their bodies anymore. Perhaps we can win the WAR against communism?

The Chicago mobster at large is getting probably exactly what he wants. An upcoming civil war, of sorts, because it appears to me that there are just too many "fly-over" dead heads against this rotten deal. May God protect us from this monster!

I actually tried to read through parts of this bill. Look what I found on page 1321 of the proposed legislation (seriously - look it up at http://democrats.senate.gov)...

“…there are authorized to be appropriated $125,000,000 for fiscal year 2010, and such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2011 through 2014”.

“And such sums as may be necessary”? How can you account for that? How can you budget for that? How can you PAY for that when you don’t even know what ‘that’ is going to be??? How can they talk of deficit reduction and then vote for something like this whose costs cannot possibly be estimated with such vague language?

So much for the numbers being "precise"...

Ms Malkin is right, every single thing about this Democratic health care debate has been lies.

First they lied about the number of uninsured, even playing games with the words so that "uninsured" meant "dying for lack of health care," when that's just untrue. They used to talk about 20 million, then 30 million, then 35 million, then 43 million, then 46 million. They just kept finding new sleight-of-hand numbers to pile onto the lie. When we stripped away all the phony numbers, it turned out there were only about 8-12 million people chronically uninsured, who wanted insurance. Even if you take the higher estimate, that's roughly 4% of the total population.

Democrats want to turn 1/6th of our economy over to the government, put bureaucrats in charge of our life or death medical decisions, crank spending up into the trillions on this one entitlement alone, deal a crippling blow to our economy, and subject Americans to increasingly confiscatory tax rates -- and all to provide medical insurance to 4% of the population! We could just give them free care for a tiny fraction of that cost.

Democrats have lied about the contents of their various bills, lied about the support their bills have enjoyed among regular Americans (who consistently oppose it, most quite strongly, for the last 8 months), lied about their figures, lied about the costs, and now they're flagrantly lying about how they're passing it.

Democrats are going to "deem" the Senate bill passed without voting on it. And President Obama has the gall to call this not deeming, but straight up or down voting on the bill itself. Yet, they're using "deeming" in order to avoid taking any blame for the thing when it passes, so how is that voting on it? The whole purpose of "deeming" is to dodge responsibility for the thing.

Get that? President Barack Obama went on national television and flat-out lied to the American people about the way his party was going to pass the bill. He would only do that if he believed he would get away with it, but the only way he could possibly believe he would pull off such a blatant falsehood was if in his opinion Americans are just too stupid to figure it out. Americans would just believe him because they're smart enough to discover his lie.

In the strongest possible terms, I URGE my fellow Americans to PROVE PRESIDENT OBAMA WRONG! Call your Congressmen and let them know you oppose Obamacare. Be polite, but make yourself understood, that if they do this utterly sleazy thing, AMERICA WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

Call your Congressmen! Here is a page that lists all the numbers for every one in both houses: http://callcongressnow.com/

We tried today as well, Michael. We went to the Capitol by the thousands. We were denied entry to the Congressmen's offices. We were allowed in on Tuesday but not today.

after going to the capitol three times, six of Masa's meetings, teaparties talking ad nauseium the battle still rages. As in the days of all pre revalutions we must continue to seek a Holy God [lest any should mistake the Holy one I mean it is the Holy one of Israel the Great God Jehovah] He alone sees the end from the beginning as David was being prepared to defeat the giant so we are being prepared. When the time is right we will be supplied with the five smooth stones OUR God is never late. The people who follow this present group in office are veiled from the truth. It does not mean there is no truth it means they are under the power of the deceiver. Our God says when evil abounds Grace ABOUNDS more.

Michelle,

I respect your opinions. You are right on most issues. However, please don't use "democratic leaders" when referring to members of the Democrat Party. There is nothing democratic about them.

Thanks
