WASHINGTON (March 18, 2010)--Republicans have lost an effort to block House Democrats from using a special procedure that would let the House automatically approve the $940 billion health care reform measure when lawmakers vote to begin debating a separate proposal that would revise that big health bill.
Democratic leaders hope this maneuver would ease the political pain for lawmakers hesitant about voting directly on the sweeping health care reform bill, which the Senate has approved.
Republicans tried to block that move, but Democrats in the House prevailed by a 222-203 vote on Thursday.
The House is set to debate the health bill on Sunday.

I don't know how anyone can say with a straight face that Obama is not a criminal!!! Not only that, but he is surrounded by the biggest bunch of criminals this country has ever seen! Just the fact that ALL the law suits that have been brought against him have either been dismissed or postponed is enough to send up a flag!! The lawyer Philip Berg has presented over 2000 pages of evidence that states he is a criminal! Because O has the Attorney General in his back pocket, this evidence has not even been considered! A list of these law suits can found by Googling Philip Berg and go under "Obama Crimes". The courts have determined that NO ONE has the STANDING to question the legitimacy of the Pres but Congress! He has spent over a million $ to conceal ALL of his personal records. If he is so transparent and has nothing to hide, why would he do this! With all that aside, the bottom line is: this country is going to hell in a hand basket and O and his cronies are taking us there!

It’s distressing to hear anyone supporting the communistic socialist sitting in the White House. Further, it is frustrating to hear someone tell me I need to pray for him, and then in the same breath carry the water for the jerk. I’d like to say he’s not my president, because he’s simply an empty suit, mimicking the people pulling the puppet’s strings. However, the concerted effort to crash our economy, and our way of life, by means of supposedly providing us all something we don’t want or need goes way beyond that. It is treason to destroy the constitution he is sworn to protect. It is mindboggling to see the end of our nation, and glimpse the new one that he is leading us into. He hasn’t even proven he’s legally entitled to the job, to begin with. The real crime is in the congress, and even here, when people blindly accept everything this jerk breathes as some form of perverted gospel. Give me liberty or give me death.
