Obama's St Louis Health Care Rally: Obama's Brass Knuckles, Arm Twisting, Kickbacks, Bribery, Mob Tactics and Corruption

by the Left Coast Rebel

To confuse the American people and to institute a Marxist power scheme on those that don't want it, you must overload the process, push, push, push and then employ crooked, mob-like tactics to 'convince' opponents (even on your own team) to institute your marxist/leninist scheme. And that is precisely what Barack Hussein Obama and his Band of Merry Chicago Cronies is doing.

Just minutes before Obama's St. Louis Obamacare gathering, what is called as the 'last ditch' effort for Obamacare, I ran across a NY Post article (by Cato's Tanner) via Drudge, Final 'reform' Push: Twisting Arms. I'll sum it up for you and it's probably the most important thing you will read today. Make it go viral!

First off we have the bribes and corruption of the Senate version of Obamacare (that mind you may be passed and never reconciled):

"Louisiana purchase" ($300 million to bolster that state's Medicaid program, which swayed Sen. Mary Landrieu); the "Cornhusker kickback" ($100 million to Medicaid there, sweetening the pot for Sen. Ben Nelson), and Florida's "Gator Aid" (a Medicare deal potentially worth $5 billion, a hefty price for Sen. Bill Nelson's vote). Plus the millions for Connecticut hospitals, Montana asbestos abatement and so on.

Scott Brown? Well, it almost didn't matter (before it didn't anyway):

Obamans rewrote Massachusetts law to allow for an appointed senator to hold office for several months, hoping to get the bill through before the special election that Scott Brown ultimately won. Their plans spoiled, they even considered holding up Brown's seating to let the appointed senator continue to vote on health care -

The willingness of Obama and the Band of Merry Chicago Cronies willingness to ignore congressional rules:

....from the failure to appoint a "conference committee" to negotiate differences between the House and Senate bills, to their current plans to use the reconciliation process to bypass a Republican filibuster.

The latest, including Jim Matheson, Alan Mollohan and Bart Stupak:

No sooner had Rep Jim Matheson (D-Utah) suggested that he might be willing to switch his vote and support the latest version of ObamaCare than his brother was nominated for a federal judgeship.

Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) is also on the undecided list. And, purely by coincidence no doubt, the Justice Department just announced that it is dropping an FBI investigation that has been swirling about the congressman.


Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), whose opposition to abortion funding has become one of the bill's biggest hurdles, is now seeing attacks on his ethics.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow recently questioned the legality of the low rent that a conservative Christian group charges Stupak for his DC apartment

The liberal blog Daily Kos has picked up on the charges and suggested that both the IRS and the House Ethics Committee investigate.
