Neil Cavuto is dialing the Capitol main number live on his show. He can’t get through. All of you who are making calls, keep dialing. This vote is obviously going down to the wire.
The Dems have got to be shaking in their boots over this. Wait until these jokers come back to their districts for the Easter break. I bet last August’s Town Halls look like a neighbor hood ice cream social by comparison!

Here at Solid Principles, we acknowledge we are not experts in ‘Climate Change’, nor have we watched Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. While not wanting to enter the quagmire of ‘Climate Gate’ or Global Warming Deniers, we thought it was noting what our current President recent said about the subject. During his campaigning Town Hall for Harry Reid in Nevada, Obama played the Al Gore card.
First of all, we just got five feet of snow in Washington and so everybody is like – a lot of the people who are opponents of climate change, they say, see, look at that, there’s all this snow on the ground, this doesn’t mean anything. I want to just be clear that the science of climate change doesn’t mean that every place is getting warmer; it means the planet as a whole is getting warmer. But what it may mean is, for example, Vancouver, which is supposed to be getting snow during the Olympics, suddenly is at 55 degrees, and Dallas suddenly is getting seven inches of snow.
The idea is, is that as the planet as a whole gets warmer, you start seeing changing weather patterns, and that creates more violent storm systems, more unpredictable weather. So any single place might end up being warmer; another place might end up being a little bit cooler; there might end up being more precipitation in the air, more monsoons, more hurricanes, more tornadoes, more drought in some places, floods in other places.
So I just – that’s one aspect of the science that I think everybody should understand. That’s point number one.
Point number two: The best way for us to unleash the free market – the best way for us to unleash the free market and capitalism and innovation and dynamism in the energy sector is for us to fully take into account all the costs that go into producing energy and using energy.

This brief excerpt from an AP article illustrates exactly why we do not have a passed health care nationalization bill sitting on the President’s desk waiting for his signature.
The citizens of this great country rose up in Town Halls from coast to coast and flat out stuffed this toxic legislation.
I do not trust this dysfunctional crew in Washington, so let’s stay focused on any stealth attempt to slip something by us in the middle of the night. We know that is a favorite tactic of the Dems. The bills they propose are so hated by the voters, that they don’t dare debate the more harmful provisions of their unpopular legislation during the daylight hours. Like Dracula, they only come out at night.

Enzi, together with Republican Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Olympia Snowe of Maine, has held talks with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. But the chance of a bipartisan breakthrough has diminished in the face of an effective public mobilization by opponents of Democratic proposals.
“I heard a lot of frustration and anger as I traveled across my home state this last few weeks,” said Enzi, who has been targeted by critics for seeking to negotiate on legislation. “People in Wyoming and across the country are anxious about what Washington has in mind. This is big. This is personal. This is one of the most important debates of our lifetime.”
