I have deliberately avoided saying what Mark Steyn has said…

…because I was afraid that the left would figure it out but he has let the cat out of the bag:

Right now, they can trade anything — abortion, death panels, whatever. The trick is to plant the seed and let the ratchet effect of Big Government take care of the rest. I said on Rush’s show on Friday that if Barack Obama had been Bill Clinton he’d have woken up on Wednesday morning and begun triangulating. Instead, Obama woke up and figured that he needed more fierce urgency, and right now. The short-term hit in 2010 is worth it for the long-term benefits: Obscure congressmen will be just as happy as obscure ambassadors or obscure chairmen of obscure agencies. And the prize of permanent irreversible statist annexation merits the risk: Governmentalized “health care” puts us on the fast track to Euro-sclerosis and redefines the relationship between citizen and state in ways that make genuine conservative politics all but impossible. (emphasis mine)

This is my greatest fear, once it is in play it will NOT be repealed, it will Never be repealed and when the democrats have the votes they will tweak it over and over.

This is why it must be killed now! If it isn’t it will never die but our freedom’s will.

    Not only that but in 2012 (if it passes) the dems will use the fear tactic to try and get re-elected. “If you vote Republican they will take away your “free” health care.” They will drag out the same illiterate welfare junkies and ignorant 18 year old rappers to vote this pig back in.
