I just want everyone to know, my rep voted "NO" on the health care bill that just passed the House.
Want to know how your rep voted? Click here:
The vote was 220- Yes and 215-No. Don't you just love how they can ram this shit down your throat with a five-vote difference? So 51% of the people can vote to install a massive, permanent, government program ... against the wishes of the other 49% ... and then make the other 49% pay for it along with the 51% . Yep, sounds EXACTLY like what the founding fathers had in mind, the tyranny of the mob.
Let me ask you something. Do you think the states would have ratified the original Constitution if they thought for one second that the federal government would get this powerful and seize power like this? This is why the founders set out to severely limit the power of the federal government to certain "enumerated powers" in the Constitution.
The Democrats/libs/commies like to point to the general welfare clause in the Constitution to justify massive taxes and power grabs like this. I mean, think about it ... why in the hell would they go through the trouble of enumerating the powers if they were just going to trump the whole thing with the general welfare clause?
If that is so, then why did they write the entire Constitution? Why didn't they just write "Congress can do anything it damn well pleases as long as it's for the general welfare of the people." There you go, a one sentence Constitution. Do you think the several states would have ratified that? You have to be an idiot liberal to have logic like that. Dirty rat bastard commies.

Nay, said mine
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States;"
To give the national government this power was why the founding fathers shitcanned the Articles of Confederation in the first place. They knew exactly what they were doing and where, eventually, it would end.
"...if you can keep it."
