Everything comes down from Obama at the top. The dotted lines are the way it's supposed to work — like going through Congress. What a novel idea!

 

chart

CAP & TRADE (Energy Taxes)
The dotted line goes to the House. It goes to the House. It fails in the Senate.
Obama's Subversion: Cap and trade, he goes around the House and Senate and he goes down to the EPA.
No voting. No representation of the People.

INTERNET REGULATION (Big Brother Spying)
Internet regulation was supposed to go to the House and Senate. It fails in both.
Obama's Subversion: Internet regulation, he goes past where it fails in the House and Senate, goes to the FCC.
No voting. No representation of the People.

UNIONS
Union card check, it passes in the House, fails in the Senate. Debt commission, fails in the Senate, never gets to the House.
Obama's Subversion: he gets Craig Becker as nominee. It still fails in the Senate and so he gives it possibly a recess appointment. The Hell with the Senate!
No voting. No representation of the People.

DEBT

Debt commission, it fails in the Senate.
Obama's Subversion: He issues an executive order.
No voting. No representation of the People.

HEALTHCARE
Healthcare, the Senator Brown victory should have sent a message but then it went to the House and the Senate. We don't know exactly what's going to happen.
Obama's Subversion:  reconciliation and this latest "let's pass it without voting" a la Queen Nancy. He has subverted the process, the legitimate process every step of the way. And nobody seems to have a problem with this.

From Maine to Hawaii, Americans send people to Washington, D.C., to be their representatives. Let me repeat that – to be their representatives.

That means casting votes that reflect the will of the people who elected them to do the job.

In that spirit of Hope and Change, that's all going out the window.

Vote? What's that?

Obama has spent his entire first year getting around the congress and that pesky voting thing. If he can't push it through legitimately, he does a go-around and gets his Will implemented through another agency – like the FCC, the EPA.

But now, the most daring of tyranny and despotism — Queen Nancy will be pushing that Healthcare bill through – without a single vote!

Never mind the unconstitutionality of the whole thing. She does not give a crap about you — or Social Security recipients. That's going to be cut drastically to fund this. Certainly

But Pelosi and Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y. are hard at work, plotting to pass the Senate's health care bill without forcing rank-and-file Democrats to go on record by voting to support it.

Here's how the process would work:

Under a tactic known as a "self-executing rule," the House could simultaneously approve the Senate bill while voting on a package of changes to it. This would "deem" the Senate bill to be passed, without having any members to vote for it directly.

That violates Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution, which states that a bill becomes law when it "shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate" and the president signs it.

Does anyone care?

Pelosi

There she goes again. And what a hypocrite to stand in front of the American flag.

Now ding-a-ling Speaker Nancy Pelosi is hell-bent on using a legislative trick to pass the health care bill (that the majority does not want) without really voting for the health care bill.

Huh? In spite of the constitution stating that all laws must be voted on, she plans to go around that little technicality.

Democratic leaders are considering the option because many House Democrats don't want to cast a vote in favor of the Senate bill, which they oppose for numerous reasons.

Enter the Pelosi tactic, known as a "self-executing rule."

Pelosi reportedly told liberal bloggers Monday that "nobody wants to vote for the Senate bill," and so she's strongly considering the non-vote vote.

"I like it, because people don't have to vote on the Senate bill," she said. 

So, this is….

a "legislative ploy that lets Democrats defy the will of the American people while attempting to eliminate any trace of actually doing so. " (John Boehner)

Why do any of these hucksters still have power?
Impeach them all!

Before this last, demented attempt to pass healthcare, the Democrats would have lost control of the House anyway. But with it, they face the loss of a historically high number of seats — perhaps more than 80.

The final fight over healthcare boils down to a simple formulation: The People vs. Pelosi.

In district after district, the next 10 days will feature an aroused citizenry demanding a "no" vote while an ideologically motivated Speaker demands assent. The echo of this push/pull will take place in the minds of the Democratic House members. Each will ask himself whether he is really prepared to throw away his career for this vote. Is this it? Is this legislation worth the end of line?

To arouse public opinion, anti-ObamaCare groups are drilling down to the congressional district level and running ads in each swing congressman's backyard pressuring their member to vote no.

The League of American Voters is now running ads in the following districts: Baron Hill (D-Ind.), Mark Schauer (D-Mich.), Michael Arcuri (D-N.Y.), Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.), Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Pa.), Chris Carney (D-Pa.), Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.), Tom Perriello (D-Va.), Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) and Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.). It will shortly start running ads in these districts: Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.), Allen Boyd (D-Fla.), Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), Jim Matheson (D-Utah), Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) and Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

After 34 speeches, three sharp electoral rebukes (Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts), and a seven-hour seminar, the president announced Wednesday his determination to make one last push to pass his Health Care Bill.

Imagine a bill granting every American a free federally delivered ice cream every Sunday morning. Provision 2: steak on Monday, also home delivered. Provision 3: A dozen red roses every Tuesday. You get the idea. Would each individual provision be popular in the polls? Of course.

However — life is a vale of howevers — suppose these provisions were bundled into a bill that also spelled out how the goodies are to be paid for and managed — say, half a trillion dollars in new taxes, half a trillion in Medicare cuts (cuts not to keep Medicare solvent but to pay for the ice cream, steak, and flowers), 118 new boards and commissions to administer the bounty-giving, and government regulation dictating, for example, how your steak was to be cooked. How do you think this would poll?

The time for debate is over, declared the nation’s seminar-leader-in-chief.

The man who vowed to undo Washington’s wicked ways has directed the Congress to ram the Bill through, by one vote if necessary, under the parliamentary device of “budget reconciliation.”

The man who ran as a post-partisan is determined to remake a sixth of the U.S. economy despite the absence of support from a single Republican in either house, the first time anything of this size and scope has been enacted by pure party-line vote.

Surprised? You can only be disillusioned if you were once illusioned.

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project," he said in the recording. But he said most people in America oppose "socialized medicine" when given the choice.

This 50-year-old audio recording of Ronald Reagan speaking out against "socialized medicine" has become a huge YouTube sensation.

It's the Progressive Way.
