Mitch McConnell

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following remarks (as prepared) on the Senate floor Friday regarding the importance of getting it right on health care reform:

“Democrats have spent six weeks behind closed doors putting together a trillion-dollar experiment in government-run health care that raises premiums, raises taxes, and cuts Medicare. We’ve now had less than 48 hours to look through this 2,074-page bureaucratic nightmare…

  • The Democrat bill includes nearly half a trillion dollars in new taxes that hit virtually every American, including middle class families making less than $250,000 a year.

  • The Democrat bill would increase insurance premiums for individuals and families.

  • The Democrat bill cuts Medicare for seniors by nearly half a trillion dollars ($465 billion) and limits the choices that millions of seniors now enjoy.

      This health care bill is about to send me over the edge. I must give the devil more credit than he deserves, but truly, I thought that eventually some, if not all of these 60 senators would find some common sense and decency and vote on the side of ‘freedom’ rather than ‘marxism.’ I mean, aren’t most of them parents and/or grandparents? And don’t they realize what they are doing to the health, wealth & freedoms of future generations? What has gone wrong with so many people in this country? Does our becoming another 3rd world country under another dictator look inviting to them all? Don’t these media news people and others who follow this path realize that as soon as they are no longer needed, Obama and his puppeteers will throw them under the bus along with his granny and everyone else who became an ‘embarrassment’ to him and those who pull Obama’s strings?

      Well, I’m ready for the next round of battle, whatever that entails. I’ll not go down to marxism with nary a whimper. Where the heck is our military and honest freedom, constitution loving judges??? :-(

      From my canadian’s perspective, there are 4 major problems in USA.

      1- The breathtaking corruption in D.C.
      2- The overwhelming naivety, apathy and complacency of Americans.
      3- The “politically correct” attitude.
      4- The MSM bias.

      Petitions, Tea Party protests, phone calls and faxing Congressmen and Senators have all failed. This administration doesn’t care about you and America. Their goal is to destroy your country and enslave you. And they are doing a fantastic job at it. They work at the speed of light and are unstoppable. They don’t need your support and they don’t fear you. They are convinced they will be in power for ever. And they are probably right. Elections don’t scared them one bit.

      There is only ONE thing that can hurt Obama. It is the ELEGIBILITY issue. Nothing else will harm him. Some Presidents have been criticized much worse than Obama and yet still did 2 terms. So this is almost useless, it doesn’t work in America. People are too focused on Party lines. It doesn’t matter which Party wins, they are all controlled by the same evil people. Presidents are only puppets of these major players.

      What you need is a real clean-up. If you get rid of Obama thru Courts for treason, there will be a lot of people who will be charged with misprision of felony, many heads will fall, including judges. This will send a very strong message to D.C. They will realize that the Citizens have taken back their country and that they will no longer accept abuse and corruption from their government. Then, it will be possible to get a new start with only politicians that care for their Constitution.

      So why is it that the majority of conservatives, republicans and independants ridiculize the ELIGIBILITY issue? Why do they call it fringe and conspiracy theory? Why do they call you tin foil hat or birthers on blogs? Why do they bash Dr Orly Taitz and other attornies? What’s wrong with these people? What is it that they don’t understand? Don’t they care about the Constitution? What are they afraid of? Is it “politically incorrect” to raise this issue?

      People better wake-up before it is too late and the clock is ticking. If all these people would be pushing the elegibility issue instead of being in denial, Obama would already be gone. This is the only thing that can save you, the only thing that will work to take back America. Elections alone won’t do it… don’t kid yourself.

      Emergency Viral: ClimateGate Fraud Exposes Dirty Tricks Agenda For Global Government

      Hackers break into University emails and uncover the global warming conspiracy. Mainstream media is whitewashing this story — so it is up to us to get this info out!

      Listen to the Alex Jones Show of today… it is great.

      There are a few ways to listen to it. I personally click on this link:

      This is great news. Maybe, we the “birthers” would need some of these hackers to brake up Obama’s documentation.

    7. William Jones Says:

      It seems the senator from kentucky is about as clueless as the rest of the “conservative” politicians. I do not care about any debate on this healthcare bill except the one thats discusses its un-constitutionality. This is the entire problem with what is going on now. This so-called administration is using our beloved constitution to wipe their backside and the throwing it to the floor and stomping all over it. And, good people of this AGJ, I am sick and tired of it. Also, another thing here it seems we all want the same thing but i still detect division even amongst our own ranks. Folks we have go to stick together one way or another here.
