So what should be our rallying cry in November? A lot of people are thinking “Repeal it!” I was thinking “Blood!”
What’s your idea for a rallying cry?

What Will This Cost?
Here’s some historical data on how cost estimates versus actual costs turned out for some government programs. My understanding is Obamacare doesn’t go into effect until 2013, so it’s basically a ticking time bomb. When it goes off, it’s going to grab every single dollar it can, and when things get tight, that’s when the horror stories start. But don’t worry, there won’t be death panels as long as no heartless bureaucrat realizes, “Hey, if old and sick people died, we’d save a lot of money!”
Anyway, November needs to be an epic slaughter, or this is just going to keep happening. I mean, we have to hurt them so badly they’re scared to even mention a new spending bill. Every Democrat should cry, and every liberal should scream non-stop about all the horrible things Republicans will do with their giant new majorities. The greatest costs of this should be Democrats’ political futures.
Obama Starts Handing Out the Blue Pill
Now that Obama’s giant, crappy bill is being rammed down our throats, he’s going to focus on making us like what we were all screaming at him we didn’t want. I guess the victory isn’t complete until we all love Big Brother.
Come on! Just leave us alone!
What could possibly be in that bloated mess that isn’t just going to infuriate us further? The public execution of Democrats?
Back in the day, if anyone in America was identified as a socialist, he was immediately strangled. Actually, I think Texas still has a law on the books where you’re fined for not strangling a socialist. At one point, though, we got weak. We thought it was okay to let socialists live among us. And now here we are with a giant new government we didn’t want but we let happen. And with our sucky space program, there’s no hope of making a new libertarian colony on Mars. We’re stuck, dudes.
Hey, maybe it’ll just be better to take the blue pill. Yay! We all have guaranteed health care! Why worry about abstract concepts like liberty and just put your hands out ready to receive. I envisioned a great country once, one that stood for liberty and freedom and a government that was a servant of its people, not its master. Also, dinosaurs with rocket launchers on their backs fought our enemies. But, alas, that dream is gone…
No! That’s not true! We will have our freedom and our dinosaurs! You can try to convince me to eat your crap sandwich, Obama, but all I will focus on is how stupid your big ears look. You will never defeat my spirit!
Random Thoughts
If Obamacare becomes law, the strategy will be to keep the cancer from spreading before you have a chance to remove it.
Luckily, Obamacare basically doesn’t come into effect until 2013, making it a perfect 2012 campaign issue.
There’s only a small window before a new entitlement becomes politically infeasible to get rid of.

Bill Nye the Science Guy only has a bachelors in engineering. Hmm… that means I’m qualified enough to be a Science! Guy myself…

The School House Rock episode of how this bill became a law is going to be very confusing.

Push cons enough, eventually they’ll make a Heinlein-type society that defines success on how many hippies starve to death.
Watched New Moon RiffTrax with my folks. If you were curious, my dad is firmly Team Jacob. Quoteth the old man: “I like the Indian kid better than that sickly, pale looking guy.”
I thought “Democrat” was an obscene word for a homosexual. If not, why do they not like people referring to the “Democrat Party”?
We really should work a bit on seeing if we can move the left from parasitism to more of a commensalism.
Is anyone willing to argue that the hillbilly boyfriend subplot in 24 is not the absolute worst subplot in the history of fiction?
Stupak kinda sounds like a quick dinner option you’d bring while camping.
Forcing Americans to have to pay for abortions is pro-abortion and not pro-choice.
Pro-choice means giving people the choice not to be involved with abortion in any way.
This is the sort of day I wish I had a big ‘stache so no matter what happens I can always say, “At least I still have my mustache.” But I don’t even have that.

That rights are an evolving, changing thing is a scary concept.
Obama seems to think the American people are too stupid to know what’s good for them, but in his defense they did elect him.
It’s going to be so much fun to finally find out what’s in the bill!
I think the GOP may have an issue or two for November.
In regards to Obama, the time for talk is never over. I bet he talks in his sleep. Poor Michelle.
Another reason to use “Democrat” as an adjective: It saves two characters on Twitter.
Oh well, time to start working on blocking the next giant new entitlement.
Will be a rallying cry that every Republican elected in the House will be a vote to fire Pelosi as Speaker.
Finding out the actual costs of this is going to be an adventure.
This all reminds me: Tax Day is coming up. I’ve got a big check to write that will be frittered away in about a millisecond.
Mmm… fritters…
