Speaker Pelosi: It Is With Great Humility That We Will Make History Tonight …Update: Voting Begins
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 21, 2010, 8:16 PM
Speaker Pelosi is now addressing the House of Representatives.
This socialist has the gall the quote the Declaration of Independence. She says the bill honors the nation’s traditions.
“We would not be here without the vision of Barack Obama.”
Imagine…. Where people can follow their passions or talent without having to worry that their children will have insurance. (She’s a socialist.)
The best action we can take to improve Medicare is to pass health care reform. The best action we can take to ignite innovation is to pass health care reform.
We will save the taxpayer $1.3 Trillion dollars. (Liar)
Speaker Pelosi, “All politics is personal.” … Would someone please explain how what we ever did to deserve a San Francisco socialist as Speaker of the House?
Pelosi: “Health care is a right and not a privelege!”
Pelosi: I urge my colleagues to vote for this to “restore the American dream.”
** Voting Begins
By the Way, America… This is even worse than you’re thinking.
John Hinderaker is upset but optimistic.

Yup, completely screwed. So how much is this gonna cost me? I mean besides my personal freedom and my rights as a human being.
Flyover Pilgrim commented:
The triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi and Reed are liars of the highest magnitude. I had to turn off her speech.
Jim do you think there “will” be elections in November? or will there be some crisis manufactured?
AnnaS commented:
#2 I hope it is not too late. All the news for weeks to come will be on how courageous he was to keep after his bill what victory for the Democrats. What can we do but vote in November and they are counting on the people having moved on by then…….
Indigo Red commented:
I’m going to need the new health care coverage because all this is making me sick. I’ve been watching the debate all day and I have felt like vomitting the whole time. Tried turning it off and still felt like vomitting.
Carl commented:
She (Pelosi) is so smug and so far from the people. I’m saddened. I’ve given up on my country. This is no longer the country I loved.
Hedgehog commented:
Pelosi just invoked the named of their patron saint, Ted Kennedy. That about says it all. These people are scum. this is like watching the Politburo in action.
mark commented:
Don’t give up. The socialists are where they are because they have been operating in the dark, behind closed doors for years. Here they are now, out in the open. Time for patriots everywhere to throw them out and take back our country. It’s ours, not theirs.
opaobie commented:
Yeah, you’ll make history all right.

Bury ObamaCare…then all the Democrats who voted for it.
AnnaS commented:
Sorry to write again, but I am so angry and sad. I can’t stand to watch them, the media, and all the Dems on talk radio gloat for weeks on end. They will tell the people this is wonderful and folks will accept it and move on (like they forgot 9/11).
Chippy commented:
Pelosi said at the beginning, “We are going to MAKE America more healthy.” LOL. Tax me more please.
ogee commented:
32B will be covered and paying into it at about 1,000/ month
How much profit do they make after 4 years at 1,000 per month for 32B people. Granted not all will pay into it but this is pure tax profit before the even pay a dime out.
OH NO THEY ARE DOING AN ELECTRONIC VOTE NOW. THEY CHEAT THE VOTES. ARGH. WHY NOT A ROLL CALL?
Conservative Ken commented:
How the hell do you bribe fellow congressmen who just shot their career down the toilet?
Answer.. with real personal, illegal ones.
I want an IRS audit, GAO and FBI investigations of every DEM Congressperson who flipped.
GrayRider commented:
So they’re going to blow up the greatest health care system in the world because ‘Teddy K’ wanted it and to create history? Since when has Teddy K (remember amnesty in 1986 and another attempt in 2007) ever been good for America? And when has making history always been a good thing?
Alice N. Wunderland commented:
Jim do you think there “will” be elections in November? or will there be some crisis manufactured?
Of course Obama will suspend the elections, and we’ll all just shrug our shoulders and say, “Oh, well.”
Absolutely. ‘Cause we’re really passive and dumb, right? We’re totally beneath contempt, right?
This is where the Democrats and some conservatives have a meeting of the minds. They both utterly underestimate the American people.
newton commented:
“Health care is a right…”
No, it’s not! It’s a service rendered for a fee. Only Communists believe it is a “right”.
Tell me where that “right” is located under the Constitution of the United States!!!
AnnS commented:
pOLOSI:
THE AMERICAN DREAM? HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
GAG
BOEHNER HELL NO, HELL NO!!!
David commented:
let’s vote out all democrats even the ones that voted against it because they will still vote for the witch pelosi for speaker. Votf them out out.
Rose commented:
What a totally complete Marxist lying piece of venomous disaster that creature is.
HOW could Justice EVER pile on her what she has earned?
Alice N. Wunderland commented:

Then don’t watch. Why would you subject yourself to that? I’m not.
Concentrate on getting even. Stop torturing yourself.
John Fembup commented:
“Pelosi: “Health care is a right and not a privilege!””
Oh, really?
Here is what Walter Williams has to say on that subject. I suspect Dr. Williams may know a tad more about rights, not to mention economics, than Ms. Pelosi or any of her staff for that matter:
“True rights, such as those in our Constitution, or those considered to be natural or human rights, exist simultaneously among people. That means exercise of a right by one person does not diminish those held by another. In other words, my rights to speech or travel impose no obligations on another except those of non-interference. If we apply ideas behind rights to health care to my rights to speech or travel, my free speech rights would require government-imposed obligations on others to provide me with an auditorium, television studio or radio station. My right to travel freely would require government-imposed obligations on others to provide me with airfare and hotel accommodations. ”
Dr Williams column is all right here.

Read the whole durn thing. You’ll be glad you did – but it won’t make the fair Nancy go away.
newton commented:
Only the States and the Courts can save us now.
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.” – Article V
ogee commented:
“Would someone please explain how what we ever did to deserve a San Francisco socialist as Speaker of the House?”
The socialist Howard Dean was appointed the head of the DNC specifically to appoint pelousy as speaker of the house.
She had him by the throat and when he helped her steal the primary for obuma, he was not longer needed. He got ordered to step aside.
ogee commented:
Looks like they will have it. Argh
John Steele commented:
It is reported that Otto von Bismark once supposedly said that “God watches over children, drunks and the United States of America.” I’m not so sure He’s still so inclined.
Flyover Pilgrim commented:
Alice said: Concentrate on getting even.
I LIKE IT! …these tyrants have awakened the People. They are not going to like what happens next.
bigkahuna commented:
Im not buying sh*t They try and force me to buy it better bring their guns Im gonna be buying mine. This pisses me off to no end. If the supreme court doesnt strike this bill down as unconstitutional They can shove that bill up \congress’s a$$ so far they can finally read it because thats where their head is at. Screw them and the white horse Obaniation rode in on. Never again will we be ignored like this Never again will these bastages ever be allowed to pass an unconstitutional bill. Let the impeachment proceedings begin. The people need to stand up and show these jerkoffs we wont stand for this. Do not vote for or give money to anyone who doesnt pledge to repeal this in one bill or by adding language to every bill put forward from this point to eat away at the provisions of this bill. Put ammendments in every bill to go to flat tax and eliminate the IRS, or add to a bill something that says the govt cant force you to buy didly squat. How about an ammendment that lowers eliminates health insurance for congress making them buy private insurance. Eliminate union dues for Govt employees etc etc etc.
newton commented:
Repeat after me: the States. The States. Thirty-five states. Make it thirty-eight.
The States. The Courts. The People.
Message from The States and The People to Obama, Pelosi and Co: We’ll See You In Court!
Hedgehog commented:
This is war!
Peggy commented:
May they all rot in hell.
ogee commented:
This has passed the house and senate and will be signed by the usurper.
219 dems 212 repubs
34 dems against it.
We lost by 7 votes.
chloe commented:
Please, for those who are shrugging their shoulders and saying things like, “They will suspend elections,” etc. (sorry can’t find the exact quotes quickly)–please STOP!!! Do you think our founding fathers would ever have contemplated stopping their fight and going down with a sorry sigh? NO!!!
Please stop saying our country is dead–it is NOT. And I have heard time and again how hard it is to remove an entitlement once it has been put in place. I’m sure this is true but from what I understand this entitlement phase doesn’t begin for another four years. AND if people say, “We gave it a good fight” and walk away then yes of course they will win.
But they will NOT win if more and more people refuse to be silenced. MORE than what we saw over this weekend at the Capitol. MORE than who phoned in and MORE who attended tea parties and townhalls in the past year.
Please STOP saying it is over because we should not ever willingly walk away from protecting our own freedom. The founding father and many others fought and DIED for us to be able to fight for what we want to keep today. DO IT!!!
If this nonsense passes tonight, it doesn’t mean we have lost. It means the fight has just begun!
We are Americans, and we will not live under tyranny, never!
Marcia commented:
Someone above asked Jim if he thought there would be elections in Nov. and that is a question that I have been struggling with for a year. Look at the people around O–all Marxists or Maoists. I am 75 and remember when other countries were free. We think it can not happen to us because this is America. Unless we keep up the fight for as long as it takes, we can join the ranks of the other failed states. It will take everyone of us and then some to overcome what I believe is ahead. May God help us all to do all that we can and not to grow weary in the time ahead. I don’t care how they voted, every Dem that can be taken out needs to be taken out. We need to support and encourage people to fight against these people.
I have serious health issues and at 75 I will be one of those who will be denied care–but I will fight as long as I have breath to be part of those who restore America to what it was before these people got in power.
ogee commented:
This is their projected profit before they even pay out a dime after taking in 4 years worth of this tax. $1,536,000,000,000,000 trillions upon trillions.
What’s next? food rationing?
Again, 34 dems rejected it.
ogee commented:
This now automatically comes out of your paycheck just like social security does. There is no recourse with that. And you get nothing for it until 4 years pass if at all. This is an accounting scheme.
ogee commented:
They won by 7 lousy freakin votes. OMG
Hedgehog commented:
This is just another in a gowing list of “Intolerable Acts”. Where did that lead last time? This time, the enemy is within. And they took an oath to support and defend the very Constitution that this day they have defiled. God bless America. We must not let this continue. This is an all out assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, and our freedom. This is the first day of the next American revolution. Do not let them make your children and grandchildren tax slaves. You know that Pelosi’s children and grandchildren won’t be slaves.
newton commented:
Amendment V, U.S. Constitution:
“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”
The States can sue, WILL sue, or they can meet in a Constitutional Convention to REPEAL IT though a Constitutional Amendment. And Obama can’t touch it once a repeal is passed by the States.
bigkahuna commented:
Im self employed They are not getting squat. I will lie about income and it will never be found F*ck them. Go to h*ll Natzi. Screw them all we will never give this fight up Start calling every congress critter tomorrow and demand a repeal and recall elections Demand EVERY bill from here on out have language added to kill bits of this bill at a time. Screw them If we cant repeal it at once. we can repeal it over time just like everything they do to steal our liberties slowly over time. Democrats can eat sh*t and Die Im not playing their freaking game any more. In the words of that slimey democrat scumbag… We dont have any rules we will just make them up as we go along. F8ck em
bigkahuna commented:
I say if we can take back the congress we also make that cadilac tax start immediately. Screw them too Unions pushed for this garabage make libs who voted for it pay for it. Make these whores pay for the blo*jobs they have gotten

May God pour their full reward 1,000 fold on these Donkey Marxist Malignant Narcissistic rear ends.
aprilnovember811 commented:

Like hell it is. She thinks it’s a right because she said so. We have a right to freedom of speech, we have a right to freedom of religion, we have a right of freedom to assemble. Health Care is something we purchase, she can go to hell! The Supreme Court will decide whether this is Constitutional or not, not this nut case Pelosi.
bigkahuna commented:
Im just praying the Supreme court that Barrack Insane Obama pissed on at the state of the takeover speech sends those a$$holes a message and rules they cant force us to buy squat. If that happens the biggest problems of this bill will go away. We need to do everything we possibly can to undermine this bill and anything this bill madates or takes over. If we pass laws that make this bill so oppressive it cant function or taxes things so much nobody will choose the govt option or any of its provisions then set up interstate sales of insurance that will cut costs and tort reform to screw the lawyers and slimey people bringing lawsuits that are bogus. ie loser pays rules then we can revoke or repeal all this sh*t. NEVER give up the fight. From my cold dead hands will they get me to buy mandated crap.
Gail commented:
I wrote this on another blog site earlier this evening and I think it bears repeating…..I would just like to say how proud we are of how the Republican Representatives conducted the People’s Business! Thank you for your professionalism and all your dedication and hard work. Thank you for making your party proud. You showed your intelligence and your tenacity throughout this very long past year. None of you have anything to be ashamed of and believe me, were not giving up!
We will be arriving at the Showdown in Searchlight, Nevada at High Noon on Saturday the 27th of March. They are expecting upwards of 30,000 people in this little town in the desert! Sarah and Joe and Breitbart and everyone else, we can’t wait to share the day and your messages!
Harry Reid, we are taking you down and oh yeah, the only thing I don’t like about Nevada is Harry Reid and well….maybe Dina Titus but it sounds like she will be gone in the not to distant future too!

Yes, the Democrats made history tonight because by passing this unpopular legislation, the Democratic Party will soon BE history.
Bye bye. Don’t let the doors hit you in the ass on your way out.
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
First thing:
Adjust your W-4 to claim more exemptions.*** This means less money is withheld from each paycheck (so you’ll take home more). This also means our government has LESS money coming in each week to use building its socialist empire. If millions of people do this, Washington might figure out that the Golden Goose isn’t laying any more eggs– the poor goose has been cooked and eaten; there’s only a carcass left.
*** PLEASE NOTE *** I am not advocating not paying taxes. When you get your paycheck-with-more-dollars-in-it, stick the “more” amount in savings so (1) it’s earning you interest and (2) you’ll have the money to pay the IRS next April 15th. Please don’t get crossways with the IRS!!! As Mark Steyn notes, the IRS will be hiring 16,500 more people to enforce the HealthCare mandates.

“Health care is a right and not a privelege!”
Is it a right when you are forced to exercise it?
Is it a right when it infringes on others to pay?
Is a right compulsory on you or on others?

Perfect…I love it. Best line of the day!
I also say we should also start projecting savings and spending like the govt does and will send in our taxes in when we achieve those projected incomes and savings over the next year. Then when we dont send in those taxes in the amount they would like we can just say well we didnt work out the way we had hoped…sorry
steve mcmikle commented:
I have two thoughts at this historic moment: (1) Let’s take a lesson from the wisdom of one of their own gods, Mao Zhe-dong: “Power comes out of the barrel of a gun”. OK, so be it. If they want a war, let it begin here. We must not wait, like sheep waiting for slaughter, for the day when Obamanation’s goons come to our doors; we should bring the fight to them in a very personal, old-fashioned way: from the millions of barrels of our red-neck barbarian guns. King George learned his lesson from across the Atlantic; we have the advantage of making their education a very up close and personal experience. I believe that the Second Revolution is at hand.
(2) Has anyone noticed that 90% of our national grief comes at the hands of LAWYERS? After the Second Revolution has flushed the Congressional Toilet clean, here’s what I propose as Article I of the revised Constitution: “No person who has been admitted to the bar of any State, or who has served as a practicing member of the legal profession in this or any other country, shall be eligible to run for or hold any public office”.
Shakespeare was right when, some 500 years ago, he penned this line in one of his plays:
“First thing we do: hang all the lawyers”.
Damn bloodsuckers….has anyone noticed that, among all the other professions, only lawyers must cause pain to others in order to make a living? All other professions create or give back: architects design, engineers build, teachers educate, doctors heal, and CPA’s account for things. Lawyers, however, deal in deception, trickery, and human misery. They write rules for the rest of us, and then sue. They then become JUDGES who defend their “profession” at the cost of us non-lawyers. We do not have courts of justice; we have courts of law. I say hang ‘em all.
