Write those letters now. Call your friends, and tell them to write them. If you don't, this program I promise you will pass just as surely as the sun will come up tomorrow. And behind it will come other federal programs that will invade every area of freedom as we have known it in this country, until, one day... we will awake to find that we have socialism. And if you don't do this, and if I don't do it, one of these days, you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free.As Republicans rail against creeping socialism, it's apparently already too late -- about 45 years too late. According to conservative icon Ronald Reagan, the United States went fullblown Marxist when Medicare passed in 1965.

Democrats shouldn't expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) warned Monday.
Rep. Randy Neugebauer(R-TX) is apologizing for shouting "Baby killer!" (to rabid anti-abortion Democrat Bart Stupak): "Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support," Neugebauer said in a news release. "In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase 'it's a baby killer' in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership. While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself." Neuegebauer's scream was only part of Sunday's mayhem in the Capitol. Tea party protesters screamed outside the Capitol, Republicans applauded when a man was carried out of the House gallery and then there was Neugebauer's scream.Last year Neugebauer cosponored a failed bill that would have required presidential candidates to supply a copy of their birth certificate.

Rethugs torn between a) blaming teabaggers' racist comments to Democratic lawmakers on Dems, and b) saying racism is perfectly reasonable since repukes can't walk thru Harlem or Detroit without getting killed.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a leading voice in the tea party movement and a legendary mattress-soiling douchenozzle, said Sunday that protesters' recent use of racial and homophobic slurs toward Members of Congress was no big deal.No, really.
"I just don't think it's anything," King said, emphasizing that the incidents were isolated. "There are a lot of places in this country that I couldn't walk through. I wouldn't live to get to the other end of it."
King's remarks come a day after tea party protesters spat on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and shouted a racial slur at Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.); both are African-American. A protester also shouted a sexual slur at Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who is openly gay.
Another Republican lawmaker also brushed off the racial epithets and suggested they were prompted byDemocrats dressing so provocativelythe parliamentary maneuvers being used by Democrats to pass a health care bill.
Morford: Open wide and never stop gasping
"Hey, Mom! Where in the Bible does itWhen a president signs an executive order that codifies anti-choice language, maybe it's time to stop referring to him as a pro-choice president.
Here's what Romney had to say in the aftermath of the House passing the Senate health care bill.
America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means by extolling the ends. He promised better; we deserved better.
He calls his accomplishment "historic" — in this he is correct, although not for the reason he intends. Rather, it is an historic usurpation of the legislative process — he unleashed the nuclear option, enlisted not a single Republican vote in either chamber, bribed reluctant members of his own party, paid-off his union backers, scapegoated insurers, and justified his act with patently fraudulent accounting. What Barack Obama has ushered into the American political landscape is not good for our country; in the words of an ancient maxim, "what starts twisted, ends twisted."
His health-care bill is unhealthy for America. It raises taxes, slashes the more private side of Medicare, installs price controls, and puts a new federal bureaucracy in charge of health care. It will create a new entitlement even as the ones we already have are bankrupt. For these reasons and more, the act should be repealed. That campaign begins today.
Where to begin? The statement is littered with lies and baseless talking points. That's expected. Romney's a Republican hack hoping to get the presidential nomination in 2012. Repealing the law? It won't happen. Aside from the fact they'd have to own both houses of Congress as well as the White House, which political party would ever attempt to tell Americans that a return to the time of pre-existing conditions and sky-rocketing insurance premiums is a good thing.
That aside, the most ridiculous part of the Romney statement is this…
Romney is now pledged to running against his own record. This is an unusual strategy but one forced upon him by a) his actual record and b) the temper of the Republican party and conservative movement. All this trouble over one tiny bill he signed when Governor of Massachusetts! Because Obamacre is, in the view of plenty of sensible observers, merely a souped-up version of the Romneycare Mitt signed into law in Boston – and that he boasted about during the 2008 campaign. Back then it was a case of "I can fix health care because I've done it in the Bay State". How times change.
Now, of course, he must disavow this and pretend it never happened. …Candidate Romney must disavow his own past.
How did that "ancient maxim" go? Oh yes…what starts twisted, ends twisted.

No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the "doughnut hole" and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents' insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?
We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat. [...]
So today's defeat for free-market economics and Republican values is a huge win for the conservative entertainment industry. Their listeners and viewers will now be even more enraged, even more frustrated, even more disappointed in everybody except the responsibility-free talkers on television and radio. For them, it's mission accomplished. For the cause they purport to represent, it's Waterloo all right: ours.
For once, Frummie, I hope you're right.

Here's the note that was attached to the brick that was thrown through Congresswoman Louise Slaughter's office:
Now local TV station 13-WHAM reports that Slaughter received a death threat: "Assassinate is the word they used…toward the children of lawmakers who voted yes."
The morans who threw the brick are responding to posts on a teabagger blog called "Sipsey Street Irregulars". The guy who runs the blog is on Social Security disability, of course, and he's really a peacemaker:
Now I did not call for the vandalization of the windows of congresscritters, only local Demoncrat party HQs. But I can certainly understand why someone would.I am trying to prevent civil war and communal killing, not start it, by warning those who do not understand the unintended consequences of THEIR actions.
