How Did The Democrats Get 60 Votes?

Some things to keep in mind as Obama tries to get all 60 Democrats to vote in a health care system progressives can use to control us.

Mary Landreiu - wins by 5788 votes, after fraudulent vote counting - goes on to win with incumbent advantages

Al Franken - loses on election night, but with help of ACORN Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, gets votes counted that are left in cars, are double counted, and are viewed differently in Democratic districts than Republican ones.

Paul Kirk - Massachusetts state legislature changes law after Teddy Kennedy dies to allow governor to name replacement, despite changing the law in 2004 to prevent governor from naming replacement.

Frank Lautenberg - Robert Torricelli withdraws from the campaign against his Republican challenger after taking illegal contributions.  New Jersey Supreme Court changes the law to allow Lautenberg, a former Senator to take his place, despite a clear law stating this can not happen (bonus points - this same issue came up in Texas with Tom Delay.  His name was left on the ballot, and Democrat Nick Sampson won a narrow contest).

Arlen Specter - switches allegiance to Democrats when his vote on stimulus funding ruins his primary chances.  Given committee assignments to make switch.  Now a lapdog.

Jim Webb - Washington Post decides to make macaca most important aspect of 2006 campaign.  Running dozens of stories has an effect - Webb wins by a few thousand votes.

Mark Begich - wins election by less than 4000 votes after Ted Stevens is indicted.  Stevens indictment is thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct after the election. 

Three senators that got in by the skin of their teeth after shady and questionable campaigns.  Two senators who got in only because Democratic courts and legislators changed the rules of the game after the fact.  And of course Arlen Specter, who was paid thirty pieces of silver to switch in a naked power grab.

Passing this healthcare bill is an affront to freedom.  If Harry Reid does get his votes, remember how the Democrats got there.  This country is heading towards a series of constitutional crises that will threaten to tear us apart.  From debt to healthcare to our voting system, progessives are actively working to undermine the system at all levels.  There can be no negotiation with such people.  They must be exposed, defeated, and left in the dustbin of history.
