When Democrats passed ObamaCare in March, polls showed that the majority of Americans opposed it. Supporters of the bill at the time dismissed these polls and hoped that over time Americans would support the monstrous health care legislation.

New polls show that opposition to ObamaCare continues to be stong. The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters finds that 58 percent want ObamaCare repealed while 35 percent oppose repeal.

The stability of this opposition makes it likely that repeal of ObamaCare will continue to be a winning issue in the November 2010 elections and Republicans should continue to emphasize their support for repeal.

America’s 11 million cancer survivors will join survivors around the world in observing the 23rd annual National Cancer Survivors Day® on Sunday, June 6. Hundreds of communities throughout North America will host events on this day to celebrate life and demonstrate that cancer survivors can lead active, productive lives. The contributions of the families, friends, researchers, and healthcare providers who support cancer survivors will also be recognized.

NCSD is expected to commence with greetings from John E. Niederhuber, M.D., director of the National Cancer Institute. The activities will be as diversified as the towns and cities where the events are held and will include parades, carnivals, races, art exhibits, ball games, contests, dances, inspirational programs and more.

“It’s just going to be like Christmas. It’s going to be great. You know, no worries about the bills.” This was the cathartic cry of one DeCarlo Flythe, yet another of the fifties of millions of new beneficiaries of today’s Bolshevik benevolence. What was once a “privilege” has now been “changed” into a “right” through collectivist chicanery and socialist sorcery. This became a “right” based solely upon the totalitarian tenets of “fairness” enabled by sclerotic socialism, not the Constitution of the United States, but these types of annoying details do not matter when you have an “agenda” to impose.

Since the liberals zeal for monogrammed rubber aprons and engraved ice tongs was what brought the alleged dozen or so “Pro Life Democrats” into the political spotlight, since their amazing last second conversion to the “Dark Side” put this albatross upon the nation’s productive, lets look at this Marxist monstrosity from just this ONE angle for a few moments. Keep in mind that Illinois’ homegrown Mussolini and his Bolshevik brown shirts have now negatively effected HUNDREDS of different health care “angles.” Abortion or the “liberal genocide” is but one of so many.

Stupak and his invisible minions who were “converted” by the oracle Obama didn’t like the FACT that this bill will use taxpayer monies to fund abortions. Suddenly, Bart says that what was there the day before yesterday isn’t there today. “Make no doubt about it, there will be no public funds for abortion.” Is this just the cry of the deceived, the naïve, or is this the hubris of the newly and sufficiently bribed? Six to five and pick ‘em, I say.

Far more Americans are opposed to the health care bill passed by the Democrats on Sunday night than voted for Obama in 2009. Yet the Democrats, who see themselves as the champions of the people, have decided to ignore their constituency and show it that they alone know what is best while those in Congress and the Senate have happily exempted themselves from participating in Obamacare, a socialist usurpation of American freedom, which they have deemed good enough for the rest of us and for which we should be duly grateful. Thus has government outgrown the consent of the governed, and come November, and again in 2012, they will discover just how grateful we are when we rescue our country and restore the rule of law by voting vast numbers of them out of office.

Following the battle over Obamcare has been daunting and has left millions of Americans exasperated if not in shock. On the surface it looks like a victory for the Dems but, just under the surface is a festering if not slithering heap of lousy politics and dishonesty at the highest levels.

Disregard for rules and procedure was the first thing to enter the sideshow that was Congress on the evening of Sunday March 21, 2010 and, nothing says it better than the clip of Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida who said of the rules, “We make up rules as we go along.” To some degree he is correct because both the House and Senate can make rules to some extent, but they are not to conflict with common protocol and never to interfere with the Constitution.

Not unlike the other unconstitutional intrusions the Obama administration has made into both the middle classes’ life savings and the formerly free market, as yet another last ditch effort, Obamascare will very soon be advertised as “too big to fail.” Judging by all of the liberal bribes, transparent/back door wrangling and the typical Democratic “status quo” and judging by the Obama histrionics, calisthenics and impeachable actions, this totalitarian time bomb has been “too big to fail” since its immaculate conception/deception. Why it hasn’t been exhibited as such from its inception is as big a mystery to the nation as Obama’s personal provenance.

Since Obama has repeatedly said, “the time for talk is over, it’s time to vote,” (and he has said this in relation to number of topics as well.) the liberals are finally taking this to their Bolshevik black hearts as they are. Wait a minute, hold on a second. Obama is STILL the only one talking about it and now the liberals have decided that they want to up the ante on their “reconciliation” dodge by devising the “Slaughter Solution.” Utilizing this chicanery, the leftists don’t even have to VOTE on the bill! That’s right, no talking, no deliberating and no voting, they just “deem” the bill passed. Presto change-o, it’s now a law, liberal style!

Yesterday afternoon 222 Democrats voted to institute the “Slaughter Rule” of Deem and Pass. This means that as early as Sunday (if the votes are procured) the House of Representatives will be holding a vote on a reconciliation bill that Obama & Pelosi have crafted as a compromise. The final vote should should take place this coming Sunday if the votes are procured.

This reconciliation bill would effectively make changes to the Senate healthcare bill that House Democrats didn’t want to approve. So instead they have created a set of changes that they will vote on (the reconciliation bill) and if that bill passes, then the original Senate healthcare reform bill will be DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN VOTED ON and PASSED: thus the Deem and Pass “Slaughter Rule.”

Anyone who voted for the Slaughter Rule has effectively voted for ObamaCare. Anyone who has voted for any portion of the process that has brought us to passing ObamaCare, has voted for the single largest government takeover of our liberties.

Hearts were all aflutter in the state of Pennsylvania as the “Health Scare Rickety Road Show” finally skulked out of Washington and ambled out to where the victims of the “plan” live. Fear not as this was a sufficiently scrubbed get-together, not unlike the Obama campaign events where women in burkas were hustled off of the stage before the flashbulbs popped. Obama showed up at Arcadia University (Who? Where?) after thirteen months of failing to convince his own party that this is a really great “plan.” Nice of him to finally get out of the House. And the Senate too for that matter.

The Associated Press was all agog over the humorous homilies being read from totalitarian teleprompters by the sanguine socialist. Yahoo news (Obama pitches health plan in spirited appearance) called the fascist freak show a “spirited, shirt sleeved appeal” and they said that it “stirred memories of his campaign for the White House.” No this wasn’t a “town hall” type of scenario, Obama isn’t in the mood to hear from the multiple millions of people who fervently disagree with his Democratic Death Panels. The only thing being “stirred” here was the Bolshevik bouillabaisse of buncombe and blather. Obama was talking to “students” who have never paid any taxes and only stand to benefit from this “plan.” That was about as brave a maneuver as Oprah talking to a group of fellow fatties about Ring Dings, Yodels and Ho-Ho’s.

Today, the Marxist mountebank placed the icing upon the collectivist cake as he put on yet another sophomoric show for the moronic media.  In “Obama seeks to push healthcare to final vote” (Reuters) we read that Obama was “flanked by white-coated doctors and nurses.”  I am guessing that they had conveniently stowed their butterfly nets prior to taking the stage as the Obama insanity has reached a fever pitch.

Obama said, “it is time to pass” his healthcare overhaul.  This will be the political equivalent of “passing” a gallstone the size of a basketball for the liberals, and it will be the economic same for the middle class.  The method matters not to Obama, he is just concerned with what the “method” is being called.  He said that it was absolutely all right to use “only a slim Democratic majority in Congress if necessary.”  This is called “reconciliation” once formerly used to trim budget deficits, with the Obama liberal logic, it is now going to be used to DOUBLE the already enormous Obama deficit.  The destructive “deficits” relative to this fascist fiasco are just the tip of the iceberg.
