President Obama made an extremely rare weekend visit to Capitol Hill today desperately trying to get free-thinking Democrats to fall in line on Obamacare. No one knows exactly what kind of behind-closed-door deals were offered (or closed) but it's likely that billions of dollars in bribes...err, earmarks were proposed. Also, offers of political support in upcoming primaries were probably made or threatened to be withheld depending on whether moderate and conservative Democrats choose to vote for the president's far left agenda or side with the will of their own constituents.

During a brief GOP news conference this morning as the floor debate on the $1.2 trillion monstrosity began, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) held up a list of 21 Democrats who have already committed to vote against Obamacare and said, "Bipartisanship is in opposing the Democratic bill,"

He's right. The American people, both Republicans and Democrats, sent a clear message to Washington last Tuesday; a message that they do not want bigger government and more of the expensive failed policies that have become the trademark of the Obama administration. They want a conservative and common sense approach to our nation's problems, not a remaking of the country into a big government nanny state.

Also at this morning's news conference, Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana) said of the 1,990 page HR3962, "It will not reduce the cost of health insurance. It will grow the size of government."

We'll find out soon enough which is truly the goal of those moderate Democrats.
