"The United States remains the last, best hope for a mankind plagued by tyranny and deprivation. America is no stronger than its people - and that means you and me." - Ronald Reagan

Dems Speak The Truth

"The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people." [Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), WJR's Paul W. Smith Radio Show, Mar. 23, 2010]

"To control the people," huh?

"I think this [health care legislation] began the transforming of the country the way the president had promised. This is what he ran on...Then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama." [Rev. Al Sharpton, Fox News, Mar. 21, 2010]

"The American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism," huh?

"There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something...When the deal goes down...All this talk about rules...We make 'em up as we go along." [Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), impeached Florida judge, commenting on House voting rules regarding health care bill, Mar. 21, 2010]

Say what?!

"The only way to keep [congress] out of the cookie jar is to give them no choice. Which is why, whether its balanced budget acts or pay as you go legislation or any of that - it's the only thing. If you don't tie our hands, we'll keep stealing." [Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA), speaking to Jefferson-area citizens, Mar. 16, 2010]

"If you don't tie our hands, we'll keep stealing," huh?

"You now have a proposal from me that will be in legislation, that...makes sure that people are able to get insurance even if they've got preexisting conditions...This notion that this [health care reform process] has been not transparent, that people don't know what's in the bill, everybody knows what's in the bill..." [President Barack Obama, Fox News, Mar. 17, 2010]

But wait! Try this headline:

"Whoops! ObamaCare Doesn't Cover Pre-existing Conditions After All, Until 2014" [Washington Examiner, Mar. 24, 2010]

Bizarro world continues with this latest blurb:

"Cuban Leader Applauds US Healthcare Reform Bill" [Associated Press, Mar. 25, 2010]

So Comrade Dictator Castro endorses ObamaCare - yippee! This is the same 'strongman' who had to fly a Spanish doctor into Cuba to perform his surgery...Hmmm...makes you wonder about our own prospects.

Hit or miss, Democrats can't deny their progressive, statist stripes. As former Rep. James Traficant used to exclaim, "Beam me up!"
