Health reform foes plan Obama's 'Waterloo' - Politico, GOP planning to stop Obama Health Care
Conservative leaders will push delay any vote on health care reform until after the August recess to capitalize on what they say is a growing tide of opposition to reform measures, they said on a conference call with "tea party" participants today.

"I can almost guarantee you this thing won't pass before August, and if we can hold it back until we go home for a month's break in August," members of Congress will hear from "outraged" constituents, South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint said on the call, which was organized by the group Conservatives for Patients Rights.

"Senators and Congressmen will come back in September afraid to vote against the American people," DeMint predicted, adding that "this health care issue Is D-Day for freedom in America."

"If we’re able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him," he said.

3. It's perfectly clear that they don't care about their
constituents. It's all just a game and we the people are the pawns.

8. I bet they have plenty of outraged constituents who do want health care reform.
They just don't listen to them.
