'Americans have to pull this weed out by its roots' Tea-party leaders are delivering a bold ultimatum to all congressional candidates in 2010: Pledge to repeal the health-care reform bill in its entirety if it passes – or you will be booted from office. FreedomWorks Press Secretary Adam Brandon told WND the message couldn't be any clearer. Asked whether he believes the tea party movement will seek to oust politicians who refuse to repeal the legislation, he emphatically declared, "Absolutely." This photo of a Code Red tea party protest was posted on Flikr. Max Pappas, vice president of FreedomWorks, echoed Brandon's statements in an interview with Gary Sargent, Washington blogger for the Plum Line, this week. This photo of a Code Red tea party protest was posted on Flikr. "This has an unusual ability to be repealed, and the public is on that side." he said. "The Republicans are going to have to prove that they are worthy of their votes." Both Brandon and Pappas emphasized that Congress must try to repeal the whole bill if it passes. Brandon said most people are opposed to the bill's requirement that citizens pay a fine if they don't maintain insurance for themselves and their families. Under the current bills, the government will also collect taxes for 10 years, but only pay out benefits for the last six years. As WND reported, majority Democrats in the U.S. Senate have inserted in the fine print a provision that it would take a supermajority of 67 votes in the Senate for future legislative bodies to even consider amendments to its provisions for "death panels." Other serious concerns about the current legislation include possible health-care rationing, denial of treatment, substantial cost increases and stifling of medical innovation.

... "or else we'll vote in candidates from either of the two parties who will also support Obamacare." I'm sure the politicians are scared shitless. / s
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog) I don't know or F ing care.
They have nothing to fear from the likes of you.
Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
I know you think your tab line is some sort of clever defense of Palin,but all it does is show the shallow thinking of her supporters because Palin has NOT said she was misquoted when she said she adores McLunatic OR that she regrets her 100% support for McLunatic. Admit it,you are in love with a dress-wearing McLunatic.
"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.
