Speaker Nancy Pelosi (House Triumvir)

"The [House health care] bill is fiscally sound, will not add one dime to [the] deficit as it expands coverage."

**Looks like the Democrats are finally going to charge up their Frankenstein and set it loose on the American people...All 1,990 pages of it.

That said, Nancy's flat out lying about the cost. The projections are a joke, and anyone who thinks this plan will be any more "fiscally sound" than Medicare and Medicaid is a joke themselves...It's well accepted both are bankrupting the country, and it's almost impossible to believe another government health care plan will be any different.

Keep this figure in mind: In 1965, Congress projected Medicare to cost $9 billion in 1990. It actually cost $66 billion...Expect ObamaCare to have similar discrepancies in its real cost.

Lets pretend for a minute that the American people are willing to go out on a very long, weak limb, and give Pelosi the benefit of the doubt on the bill not adding to the deficit [a massive leap of faith, I know]. How on earth are the Democrats going to pay for such a monstrosity without running up the deficit?

There are only two ways to do it: Raise taxes significantly on every taxpaying American [all 40% of us]. Or, drastically cut services...I'm afraid if we ever get to look at the bill [another huge assumption], we'll find the only way they can make it "fiscally sound" is to raise taxes AND cut services.

August was only a couple months ago. Here's hoping the American people have it in them to return to the anger of August, when they first realized what the Democrats were trying to do to them and their children...If not, we'll have another boondoggle on our hands which can't be stopped [like Medicare and Medicaid], and over time we'll look back on this couple of months and wonder why we didn't stop it before it came into being.**

Greg Craig (Obama Mouthpiece)

"We recognize that it is theoretically possible that a president could create new positions that inhibit transparency or undermine congressional oversight. That is simply not the case, however, in the current administration."

- Comment made about Obama's czars, and the administration's denial of requests to make them available to Congress for questioning.

**What a joke! So far Obama's created 18 'czars,' and has done so with the absolute intent of keeping them from being under congressional oversight; above the law.

The problem is these 'czars,' which should actually be called 'commissars,' aren't just presidential advisers, but are policy makers. As such, they should fall under the oversight of Congress. Instead, Obama is creating these positions and setting them loose to do his dirty-work, effectively making them unelected, unimpeachable, 'super legislators.'

Can you imagine if Bush had done this? Liberals would have been howling mad, and the mainstream media would be running 24/7 news coverage on how Bush was undermining American government...With Obama, however, we hear nothing!**

Hugo Chavez (Communist Dictator)

"Some people sing in the shower half an hour...three minutes is more than enough. I've counted, three minutes, and I don't stink."

**1. Venezuela is blessed with an abundant amount of running water due to its rivers, but it is a notoriously filthy country with awful sanitation standards, so I'd be surprised if most Venezuelans have a shower, let alone take one very regularly...I'm sure 'King Hugo' does, though.

2. Man! I bet Barack Obama is jealous as hell over Chavez's ability to force this on his people. Chairman-MaoBama-in-the-making has to go through all the hassle of votes and judges, slowing down his radical transformations...FOR NOW!**

All Nippon Airways (Full of Shhhhhhhh....)

'Please go pee-pee and poo-poo before boarding.'

- Not an direct quote, but a good representation of what ANA is going to ask its passengers to do.

**I get it that everyone is looking for a way to save a buck, and by asking people to potty before entering the plane ANA will save some dough on toilet paper...They also claim they'll save money in fuel costs, though I can't imagine 150 passengers voiding a pound or so of waste per flight will save them millions of dollars.

I also get it that ANA is trying to save the planet by shrinking their 'carbon footprint'; they claim this policy could save five tons of carbon emissions over a 30 day period.

But, really? Are they serious? What if a passenger gets stage fright and can't go? What a joke...This is nothing but political correctness run amok, and the 'pee-pee/poo-poo plan' is nothing but a ridiculous pile of poo-poo.**

Majority Leader Harry Reid (Senate Triumvir)

"He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions - tort reform - $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesn't it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. It's a very small percent."

**Reid was trying to make the point that tort reform wouldn't do much good when it comes to the overall cost of health care...Amazingly, he finds $54 billion not worth trying to save. Couldn't be that he and his party are in bed with trial lawyers (tort scum), could it? Nah.

Interesting as it is, tort reform isn't what caught my attention in this statement...$2 TRILLION?!?!

We've been told ObamaCare will cost around $1 trillion/year. Reid's comment must be one of three things:
1. He's just a moron who should never be put in front of a podium, because he has no clue.
2. He made a 'Freudian Slip,' and accidentally let the cat-out-of-the-bag about the 'real cost' of ObamaCare...Which is likely a low-ball guesstimate in actuality.
3. He's floating a trial balloon to see if the American people will accept $2 trillion...Even though they've been adamant that $1 trillion is a problem.

Says here, the answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE...Harry's an idiot, he accidentally stated an amount the Democrat leadership knows is closer to the truth, and is looking to see how nuts this 'new number' will make people.**

Michael Moore (Pied Piper of the Left)

"To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want. That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election."

**Now there's a strong threat. I believe Mikey plans to make good on it too...What is his end-game?

"If a true public option is enacted — and Obama knows this — it will eventually bring about a single payer system, because the profit-making insurance companies won’t be able to compete with a government run plan and make the profits they want to make."

Make no mistake, Moore and his Liberal pals have every intention of using the 'public option' to destroy the American health care industry, take away your health care choices, and establish the U.S. government as the nation's only insurance provider...Which is why Americans who are opposed to such a scheme need to repeat 'Michael Moore's Threat,' with a twist:

If Democrats or Republicans in Congress pass this monstrosity "I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you (pass health care reform with a public option). That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election."

Question is, do those who are against the 'public option' have as much desire and strength as those who want it? DO YOU HAVE AS MUCH DESIRE AND STRENGTH AS THEY DO? Or are you willing to let your country be turned upside-down in order to avoid a fight?

I bet I know the answer to my question...If I'm right it will lead to a sad outcome.**

Pero's Going Camping

I'll be back Monday, the 19th.

Cecil Roberts (United Mine Workers Labor Union President)

"It is imperative that the process for approving or rejecting (mining) permits be clarified so that everyone can know what to expect...Dragging things out only adds unnecessary pressure to coal miners, their families and their communities and makes it much more difficult to meet America's energy and economic needs."

**Maybe this union should have paid more attention when it decided to back Obama for president. Maybe they should have opened their ears so they could have heard him all but promise to destroy the coal mining industry...Maybe they should pull their heads out of their ass and realize the Democrat Party cares more about 'saving the Earth' than they do about American workers.

And maybe the workers who are in this union should think about a little payback against the union bosses who care more about their own political and financial power than they do about the actual workers in the union...Maybe, just maybe, it's time to drop the union as well as their fealty to the Democrat Party.**

Sen. Olympia Snowe (RINO - Maine)

"We have no certainty as to whether or not these [health care] plans are going to be affordable."

**Sen. Snowe is the only Republican who has shown much interest in the Democrats plan to take over the American health care system, but even she seems to be having difficulty with the reality of such a proposition.

For those who aren't familiar with Snowe, lets put something out in the open: She's a Republican, but she's not a Conservative by any stretch of the imagination...Her American Conservative Union lifetime rating is about 48%.

As a couple points of reference to compare against Snowe: The Democrat-turned Republican-turned Democrat-turncoat SOB Arlen Specter has a 44% rating. Tom Coburn is rated the highest at 98%, Ted Kennedy rated the lowest at 2%, and John McCain rates at 81%...Votes matter, and Snowe's record proves her to be a Liberal, regardless of the letter after her name.

But even Sen. Snowe (Liberal - Maine) is questioning if she can stab the American people in the back by siding with the Democrats on their health care monstrosity...Lets help her out with her question:

Olympia, do you think there is any way in Hell the Democrat plans are going to be affordable (much less as good or better than the current system)? Of course you don't...So please, "don't get stuck on stupid," and by all means don't talk yourself into doing the wrong thing.**

Barack Obama (Failed Pitchman)

"Nearly one year ago, on a clear November night, people from every corner of the world gathered in the city of Chicago...to watch the results of the U.S. presidential election...Their interest wasn’t about me as an individual...Rather, it was rooted in the belief that America’s experiment in democracy still speaks to a set of universal aspirations and ideals...And so I urge you to choose Chicago!"

- Part of a speech Obama gave to the International Olympic Committee.

**That worked out well. Seriously, it did...Hosting the Olympics is like having the U.N. on American soil; two similar entities of massive fraud, waste and abuse, run by a bunch of anti-American scum.

Cities that host the Olympics always lose money, and Chicago is in no position to throw money down the IOC toilet...Plus, almost half the people of Chicago didn't want it in the first place.

That said, Obama looks more and more like a impotent putz after failing his home city...What would be very interesting to know is what would the votes have been had he and his hideous ladies (Michelle and Oprah) not shown up to 'help' Chicago? Could it possibly be that Chicago was the leader until they came and irritated the voters with their pompous attitudes. Hmmm?

What's really sickening is this thought: If the rejects at the IOC can make Barack look this weak, just imagine how Putin, Ahmadinejad, Jong-Il, Chavez, etc., are going to make him look during his term as Prez.**
