  Number of comments: 1
  The House of Representatives passed the ObamaCare federal takeover of the health care system by a narrow 220-215 margin. 219 Democrats and one RINO, the liberal Republican who took over the disgraced William Jefferson’s seat in New Orleans, Joseph Cao.

  Number of comments: 2
  Right now, there’s a joke of a debate going on regarding the ObamaCare takeover of the health care system in the House of Representatives. A joke in that there is no real debate. House Democrats have pretty much silenced all opposition, much like the tyrants and dictators they have shown [...]
