Here is another rising star: Congressman Mike Pence has become an increasingly prominent leader in expressing opposition to Obama and his ideas:
“This is a remarkable moment in the life of our nation. After years of runaway federal spending, deficits, debt, borrowing, bailouts and takeovers, against the opposition of a clear majority of the American people, the Democrats in Congress and in this administration are prepared to ram through a $1 trillion government takeover of health care.
“It’s just hard to believe. Ignoring the will of the American people, twisting the rules of the House and the Senate into a pretzel, we are headed for a showdown this weekend. But I got to tell you, I like our chances.
“The reason House Democrats don’t have the votes is because the American people know this is a government takeover of health care. Mandating that every American purchase health insurance whether they want it or need it or not, passing hundreds of billions of dollars in job-killing tax increases, providing public funding for abortions, and setting into motion government-run insurance that will cost millions to lose the insurance they have is a government takeover of health care.
“Let’s have the debate. A minority in Congress plus the American people equals a majority. America, we can win this fight.”

I’ve spent the last 5 hours compiling a list of Democrats to fax no-on-HC letters to tomorrow, and in examining their districts, I realize it’s all a fence-sitting, switch-hitting dog and pony show for the Democrats to allow those in iffy districts to be able to vote no so they’ll be less likely to be kicked out and the Democrats will retain the district. I’m predicting this socialist monstrosity will pass by 1 or 2 votes so Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats can say with self-satisfied puffery, “See…look how hard we worked for the American people.” Brace for impact.
