HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES House Votes to Defund 'ObamaCare
Edited on Fri Feb-18-11 04:00 PM by Skip_In_Boulder
Now I know some people here are going to think I am radical but I remain firmly convinced that the reason the Right Wing is so adamant about getting rid of the health care bill is that they, and their corporate masters, want to implement a culling process on the American people. Particularly those over 50 who are starting to have health problems and can no longer contribute to GDP.

First they bust up the unions and then they get rid of the people who are a liability to society. So ask yourself, where else in history has that happened?

The House voted to defund President Obama's health care overhaul on Friday during a sustained burst of floor activity on amendments to a temporary spending bill that would keep the government lights on but impose deep cuts on domestic programs.

Among the other actions the House took was to reject a controversial plan to end the Pentagon's sponsorship of a NASCAR team and to vote for a ban on federal aid to Planned Parenthood.

The proposals were among more than 120 amendments remaining for the House to vote on as Republican leaders wind down a week of frenzied action on the spending bill.

The overall bill is the first step in an increasingly bitter struggle between Democrats and Republicans over how much to cut federal agencies' funding over the second half of the budget year that ends Sept. 30. Current funding runs out March 4 and a temporary spending bill will be needed to avoid a government shutdown.

Radical Right extremists wish to junk health care reform (And Medicare, and Medicaid) and replace it with "I-Don't-Care."
