Any Congressman who has an ounce of common sense should vote against Pelosi's healthcare bill. 

 

Her bill is 1,990 pages long, contains 400,000 words, and comes in at $2.24 Million per word.

 

If this were not enough, there are 111 newly-created federal bureaucracies that would have to be formed to take care of the massive requirements of Pelosi's bill.  When the healthcare bills began to surface in the summer, we were amazed when 53 new healthcare agencies were proposed.  Now the list has swelled in typical Beltway-thinking to 111 new federal healthcare agencies. 

 

Voters sent a clear message last night when they elected three conservative Republicans in Virginia (Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General) and a new conservative Republican Governor in New Jersey.  Both Virginia and New Jersey have been strongholds for the Democrat Party. 

 

Corzine who lost in New Jersey was a strong supporter of same-sex marriage and of abortions as were the losers in Virginia.

 

Voters also repealed the same-sex marriage law in Maine previously passed by the legislature in May and signed by the governor.  Conservative voters prevailed there -- 52.9% over 47.08%.   

 

The conservative candidate in New York, Doug Hoffman, came within a few percentage points of winning that Congressional contest. The significant aspect about that race is that conservative supporters from around the country got together and backed Doug Hoffman.  Democrats and RINO’s should now realize that if conservatives decide to pool their support and their donations, they can have a major impact on a contest in some other state.  

 

Liberal congressmen who have an ounce of political savvy should be very worried about Judgment Day -- Nov. 2, 2010.  It is coming; and if they support Pelosi's healthcare bill, they will find themselves looking for a new place to hang their hats.   

 

Below is the list of 111 newly-created bureaucracies found in H. R. 3962: http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf
