#1 a commenter on the Belmont's Club's article on the Obama Snitch Line said:

When the new med-care comes on line if you are in their snitch list:

Youâll get an End of Life Consultation.
Being caring people, they want you to be aware
of the palliative care Hospice can provide.

And with the Chicago Tao of Politics - its likely true.

#4 Republicans are under no obligation to carry out anything the Democrats do, but they never, NEVER, repeal any of the Democrats programs. Why not?

Right now, I want to see Republican congressmen standing up and saying, "If you elect a wide Republican majority in the next congress, we will THROW OUT everything being done right now! Cap and Trade will be REPEALED! Socialized medicine will be REPEALED! And all the other STUPID ideas that the Democrats put forth will be REPEALED!"

#7 I fear that there's too much time between now and the 2010 elections. Too many folks will go 'back to sleep'. Timing is everything and the political masters on the left know full well why they're pushing stuff so fast. It has little to do with any 'reading the bill' stuff. It has everything to do with the general population's attention span.

#8 I feel that is the rush as well - the more people ya got hooked on government, the more likely they will vote democrat come '10, but ultimately '12.

#9 The population's attention span is one thing, but the amount of pain they will be experiencing between now & the next election is quite another. Unless all those unemployed are back to work by then, fat chance of that happening.
