More behind-closed-doors plotting by Harry Reid and friends.
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following remarks on the Senate floor Thursday regarding the importance of getting it right on health care reform:
……They (Democrats) know Americans overwhelmingly oppose it, so they want to get it over with.
Americans are already outraged at the fact that Democrat leaders took their eyes off the ball. Rushing the process on a partisan line makes the situation even worse.
Americans were told the purpose of reform was to reduce the cost of health care.
Instead, Democrat leaders produced a $2.5 trillion, 2,074-page monstrosity that vastly expands government, raises taxes, raises premiums, and wrecks Medicare.
And they want to rush this bill through by Christmas — one of the most significant, far-reaching pieces of legislation in U.S. history. They want to rush it.
And here’s the most outrageous part: at the end of this rush, they want us to vote on a bill that no one outside the Majority Leader’s conference room has even seen.
That’s right. The final bill we’ll vote on isn’t even the one we’ve had on the floor. It’s the deal Democrat leaders have been trying to work out in private.

They’re hiding from the American public because they know damned well that we won’t submit to this flawed legislation. If they keep this shit up, they will find us kicking down the doors of the Capitol and throwing them out. Americans have reached their boiling point. The founders of this country fought a revolution against the type of tyranny that exists in Washington today. There just might be another one.
