The best part of the health care bill passing the House is that we get to watch conservatives cry.
Rich Lowry:
Listening to the debate on the floor today, it was clear that Democrats considered it a moral and ideological obligation to pass this bill — consequences be damned. The leadership is congratulating itself now — Pelosi is already the greatest speaker of all time apparently — but there's a tough rough ahead in the Senate. Pelosi could lose 39 votes. Reid can't lose any. Passage in the House definitely creates more pressure on Reid to get it done, but the slender margin — despite the size of the Democratic majority in the House and all the arm-twisting and deal-making (what did Cao get?) — has to make Senate moderates even more nervous.
Sarah Palin
"What may they feel about an elderly person who doesn’t have a whole lot of productive years left," Palin asked an audience of about 5,000 who paid $30 each to hear her speak in an airplane hangar-like exhibition hall at the Wisconsin state fairgrounds just outside of Milwaukee. "In order to save government money, government health care has to be rationed... [so] than this elderly person that perhaps could be seen as costing taxpayers to pay for a non-productive life? Do you think our elderly will be first in line for limited health care?
Comments from Little Green Footballs
I thank the "real conservatives" who :
- stayed home when a sex scandal disgusted them in 2006 thereby handing Nancy Pelosi the speaker's gavel
- stayed home because they could not bring themselves to vote for RINO John McCain.
How are those principled stances working out for you, assholes?
To me, the scariest part is the pricing, that I have seen quoted.
I currently buy, as an individual, $300 a month health insurance.
That's $3600 a year.
It's basic, and catastrophic oriented.
IF, the numbers I have seen thrown around, are that this healthcare bill will cost $15,000 a year.
I am just afraid.
Very afraid.

To them I say:
Let me taste your tears, conservatives! Your tears are so yummy and sweet! Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! Mm-yummy you guys!
