Carol Platt Liebau: Abusing Their Majority
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
So Democrats in the House have rammed through a bill that would require a government takeover of 1/6 of the economy -- and they have done it with a two vote margin, 220-215.

Now that the law has been passed, however, it's time that every conservative or Republican makes sure the public understands just what is in this legislation that the Democrats have rammed through: ...
