Get out the brooms. There’s a mess to clean up.

The vote went down as expected, 60-39. The Democrats congratulated themselves, Obama made a speech, then they left. Joe Kernan of CNBC’s Squawk Box had an interesting take on the event.

Because of a few hundred votes in Minnesota that elected a former SNL comedian to the Senate, 17% of the nation’s economy is now going to have a certain type of health care because of a couple hundred votes in Minnesota.

There’s more than one clown to blame for this. These are no ordinary clowns either. They’re like the clowns in horror movies I can’t watch.

We have a Congress that no longer cares about the will of the people. Nevertheless, Kernan’s observation is significant. If the evil clowns aren’t sitting in Congress in the first place, they can’t vote for the obnoxious power-grabbing laws.

    These people are insane. All they want to do is turn the United States into some Marxist mush pit that their master, George Soros, can loot and pillage. Every Senator who voted for this crap should be indicted for treason against the United States. Or perhaps murder since this is the first step in the death of our Republic unless there’s a huge change in the elections of 2010.

    I have always been afraid of clowns.
    It’s time to Throw the Bums Out!

    Oops! Senate leader votes against his own bill on its way to passage “Reid, clearly weary from the process, stood when his name was called and said “nay.” Realizing what he’d done, he quickly switched his vote to “aye” as his colleagues laughed. Weariness or Reid’s “conscience”?

    Senate Xmas ‘Present’ conjures up a helluva Ghost of Xmas Past for our future – WILL HAUNT THEM starting 2010.

    It should be mentioned that Franken stole the Minnesota election. He lost, and then they recounted until he won. Why does it seem, in case after case and place after place, that the more they recount, the more Democrat votes they find?

    In general, my gut sense is to believe the first count. Not because it’s necessarily perfect, but at least it’s more likely done without an agenda attached to it. The recounts are done for the specific purpose of flipping the election.

      Never forget that Pooh Boy Pawlenty sat on his ass and sucked his thumb while ACORN and others poured into Minnesota and stole the election for Stuart Smalley. This alone should disquality T-Paw from holding any higher office other than Governor of Minnesota. Remember this when he runs for President in 2012.

    ‘Twas the night before Christmas
    and all over Hawaii,
    Traffic was all jammed up,
    Because of the vacationing Alii! (Alii is Hawaiian for Royalty….get it?)
    The Senate had voted as they had been told.
    So my advice to you, “Stay healthy, don’t get old!”
    And the rest of your paycheck,
    Prepare to have spent
    On B.S. and kickbacks
    For your Government.
    While jobs and savings
    Seem far out of reach,
    Know that the “Zero”
    Is relaxing at the beach.
    Now Pelosi, now Ried
    Now Kerry and Frank,
    Steal the money, steal the money
    For the Governments Bank.
    And as I watch my Countries Freedoms
    Sink out of sight,
    A Merry Christmas to all,
    And to all,
    Buy guns, gold and food.

    Mele Kalikimaka!
    God Bless Us, Everyone!

    Let’s not forget Roland Burris, now warming Barack Obama’s old seat in the Senate, appointed by Illinois’ indicted ex-Governor as his final insult just before he resigned in disgrace.

    Or the junior senator from Massachusetts, appointed by the Democrat governor after the Democrat legislature spared him from the inconvenience of holding a special election to fill Teddy Kennedy’s butt-shined seat.

    Or Mary Landeau’s 300 billion dollar vote.

    Or Ben Nelson’s Medicaid funded vote.

    Or Chris Dodd’s 100 billion dollar vote.

    But you had to laugh at Harry Reid’s “No” vote…that Reid. He’s such a kidder.
