The Code Red Rally has brought thousands to Capitol Hill today, and there have been important developments with Nancy Pelosi's health-care legislation push.

Pelosi rejected Rep. Bart Stupak's plea for a separate deal for pro-life Democrats, perhaps because she flipped "pro-life Democrat" Rep. Brad Ellsworth of Indiana:

"Congressman Ellsworth had the opportunity to stand on principle with this important decision," said Charmaine Yoest, head of Americans United for Life, which ran ads in Indiana and urged Hoosiers to speak out. "However, Ellsworth's vote now establishes for the record his support for taxpayer-funded abortion."

There are unconfirmed reports that Pelosi actually has enough votes to get her "Democratic Deathmobile" up to ramming speed.

Americans are going to have to come to grips with the unpleasant realization that we now have a cavalier and fascist government that owes no allegiance to its citizens.

Liberal Reader| 3.20.10 @ 9:13PM

Bullshit.

Own it, Liberal Screeder--you're a Fascist Liberal.

Been telling you for months now.

what can one say? 52.9% of America voted this guy into office. he may be a Christian, but he sure doesn't hesitate to use every weapon in the book to win his healthcare reform war.
if you read the mainstream media coverage, the Democrats run the headlines with the lies - the CBO $1.2/3 trillion savings and the tea party racist/homophobic slurs on Black and Gay House Representatives.
each one of the 52.9% who voted for him will be responsible for what is happening to the country.
each one who did not exercise his/her vote is also somewhat responsible.
really sad to see it tearing a great country apart.
no wonder the Lady Lynn de Rothschild supported McCain though she was a lifelong Democrat.
Caveat emptor - buyer beware.
perhaps, the legal minds have other options available, otherwise, this is a no exchange no return till 2012.
too late for regrets. look forward instead and see how to fight this thing united. knocking down each other in the primary isn't the way to get there. good luck!

The contempt they are showing for the American people can't come close to the contempt I have for them right now. Who the F do they think they are? They are supposed to be REPRESENTATIVES!

Google cloward/piven statagy, study that a little while and you can see what george soros and the far left are shooting for.

Overload the system with massive entitlements until you paralyze it and presto! you can mold the system into any kind of tyrannical government you so desire.

Seems to be moving along like clockwork. Soros, Fascist liberals Obama & Co., and the traitorous Leftist LameStream Media are forcing a coup d'etat.

Has anyone figured out yet ,why if the majority of Americans want this reform as Obama and Peloisi and the rest of the Marxists, say they do, why all the chicanery,treachery and bribery to pass it?
Where is all the transparency? All the openness?
This is only the beginning. They will ram through Immigration,Cap and Trade and Climate legislation in the same way IF the American people do not revolt over it!
I'm afraid if these people continue what they bring upon America with their actions will be a bloody page in our American history.
Americans have typically tried to reason with those who have tried to do our country harm in the past before they acted to protect the Constitution and our personal liberties.
The people are TALKING now, unfortunately our representatives are NOT listening!
