It may not be time kiss grandma and grandpa goodbye just yet, but it's getting closer. In a strictly party-line vote all Democrats and both Independents voted for cloture on the Obamacare bill. All Republicans voted no, except for George Voinovich (R-OH) who is either too cowardly or simply did not care enough about the subject to vote.

The Senate Bill which aims to nationalize health care in the U. S. by emulating the failed systems of Massachusetts, Canada, most of Western Europe and Cuba should never have even come up for debate. The question is actually: Do you want a health care system like the one in Cuba? The answer is No! That should have been the extent of the debate. Instead, we can look forward to Senators whose blind lust for power at any cost will destroy the American health care system and America along with it.

Make no mistake about it, these people will pass this legislation no matter what the American people have to say on the matter, because they represent only themselves and their desire to control others. They long ago ceased being representatives of the people and believe they have now become our masters. Continuously, they either willfully ignore, or show utter contempt for their constituents.

Those who care about America still have a powerful weapon at their disposal — the power of the vote. Anyone who voted for this bill needs to pay the price for it at the polls. Don't forget this day whether it is next November or in 2012. Beyond that, we need a new form of leadership in this country, representatives that are of the people, not elitist professional politicians who have never worked an honest day in their lives. Surely, there are millions of people working all across America, people of principle, people of character, people of integrity, who must now consider stepping forward and running for office to retake control from the rabble that has overrun our government. The time has come. Stand up! Be heard! Here's how they voted:
