Vote out big government

The current debate on whether the government should take over health care is just another example of why we need to clean house next election. Any member of Congress who voted for the bill needs to be removed from office because they are ignorant of our Constitution and the limitations our Founding Fathers built into it to protect our freedoms and liberty.

Everyone gets the shaft when Congress ignores the Constitution and crams down our throat more spending, more rules and more restrictions on our freedom. Remember, the government doesn’t produce anything. They just steal from one group to give to another. Now the Democrats want to steal (tax) from our children and put them in the poorhouse.

Vote every member out who votes for more bailouts, bigger government, more health care bureaucracy and more undeclared war. Don’t forget to vote next November.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's...and to God what is God's. Pay your taxes and do not worry, there is more to life than this material world.

When did I excuse Obama of anything? I just pointed out that there are a bunch of people here who defended Bush for pulling the same kind of crap yet are now taking umbrage with Obama. Including blaming him for stuff that Bush either caused or put in place.

I was pointing out the Bush belief in doing things without paying for them for a long time. Saying, "It is impossible to borrow your way out of debt." Run a war with borrowed money, fund tax cuts with borrowed money, expand the crap out of medicare with borrowed money, that was stupid then and is stupid now. But the far righties would attack me as a "Bush hater" telling me what a wonderful job he had done with the economy.

Now Obama comes along with the economy down the drain (Great job George!) and doubles down with borrowed money. It is every bit as stupid for Obama to do it as it was for Bush, or Reagan for that matter. 30 years of "just say charge it" government have come and gone. The bill is now past due.

I can see no way the economy gets on a firm footing again without coming to grips with the federal deficit. We, the people who believe there is no direction but up, are going to have to go through the same kind of austerity budgets that were forced on other countries.

TATBO applies regardless of which party is in power.

jack.....granted Bush has some blame in the TARP welfare handout but your lame attempt to excuse Obama and the rest is just that, lame.

I am amazed that it took the health care debate to get people to recognize that govt has not honored the Constitution. They have not from the beginning. And I think it is more ignoring than ignorance.

“Once again, it appears that WHAT is being done has nothing to do with whether some people are for it or against it.” - I’d like to overlook WHAT was promised during the election.

Yes. So tell us 12 of 5 how is that “all increase spending will be full funded” thing coming along?

[GCYL]

“It constantly amazes me that those that so ardently supported the Bushies and their never ending "borrow from the grandchildren" budgets are now aghast that the other party does the same thing.” - jack

Hey, 12 of 5, buy a clue. Please don’t tell me that the Obama collective believes that the last national election land slide had nothing to do with people being tired of “borrow from the grandchildren”. Now people like 12 of 5 act all surprised that these voters are even more angry with “we do a better job with borrowing from the great grandchildren” collective.

It constantly amazes me that those that so ardently supported the Bushies and their never ending "borrow from the grandchildren" budgets are now aghast that the other party does the same thing.

Heard Rush Limbaugh the other day describing TARP as a "Chicago style slush fund". Now, who was in charge when TARP was put in place? Who developped the rules for it? Didn't know Bush and Cheney had spent so much time involved in Chicago politics.

Once again, it appears that WHAT is being done has nothing to do with whether some people are for it or against it. It is far more important to them WHO is doing it. Or, more likely, WHO is telling them what to believe.

Don't ask the Hijacker any questions about the constitution! It's four pages to long to read.

hajkar - Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution lists the Powers of Congress. I'm curious of your opinion on which part of that section empowers Congress to pass health care reform - or for that matter - any of the previous health care rules that have caused the problems that health care reform is trying to fix (while inaccurately blaming all those problems on a free market).

Also, I'm interested to know your opinion of the bill Congressman John Shedagg has proposed at the beginning of each session of Congress since '95 which would require legislation passed by Congress to cite the provisions of the Constitution that empowers Congress to pass the legislation. If Congress wasn't ignorant or ignoring the Constitution, it seems like this would be a no-brainer.

Maybe Jim and Hijakoff will inform the State Auditor that this RECENT audit is inaccurate and they have the correct data.

This data proves government does a negligent job of accounting, at best.

NOMO if this healthcare bill passes there are going to be many small business owners (Who want to stay in business) with that same very state of mind. This Administration has awoken the middle class who is doesn't recieve a paycheck from the government or writes it to themselves.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

Kee, there is this sickness called DENIAL, Hijakoff suffers from it. Being jailed for refusing to pay what one does not owe just because some deadbeats in government say you owe it is bogus. They best read the signage on my property before they try to take what is not theirs to take.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

Amendments I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, XIII have all been violated and bastardized over time.

[T. Hanson]

Ahh.. "Clean the house when it is ran by the opposite party from me." Argument.

[Greghand]

Kee it doesn't matter what you explain to the Hijacker he's still on cloud nine after watching Obama's inauguration! Can the government circumvent your rights as a free american and force you to be in a governmant program? YES WE CAN!

[Smarter Than You]

Brian is over the top and probably should not try for a career as a constitutional scholar.

That said; Congressman/coward Dennis Moore has confirmed he will not stand for reelection so he doesn't have to face the consequences of his vote. Hopefully, the lame-duck Representative won't continue to provide support for legislation his constituency is against.

The other thing we've learned; a Democratic Senator can be bought and paid for with $300 million.

What an eye-opener this no-hold-barred push to force Obamacare on the nation is. Thanks Democrats!

[Kee]

Lets see now, buy government insurance, pay a fine, or go to jail......yep that's got to be in the constitution somewhere, right Hijacker?

“How has Congress ignored the Constitution?” - hajkar

I think Brian should have made up his mind before mailing his letter. Which one is it Brian? Is Congress ignorant of these so called “limitations our Founding Fathers built to protect our freedoms and liberty” or is Congress just ignoring them?
