Democrats will meet in committee in one hour to begin marking up healthcare legislation. They’ve cut a deal with the Blue Dog Democrats.

Go here and get the number for your Congressman. Call now.

Tell him to oppose H.R. 3200.

If it passes, Blue Dogs and Obama will go down to defeat.

If it fails, Obama will have wasted much political capital.

It didn’t have to be this way. But Obama and the Democrats wanted to ignore the people.

Did they cut a deal to not vote on it until after they all return from their Bora Bora vacation homes?

Like anyone ever thought for a second that these supposed “Blue Dog” Dems would ever vote against their own party. Please, all this is was posturing to make themselves look like they give a damn about their constituents. They were always gonna vote for this crap sandwich. If this thing passes, America as we know it is done, sorry to say it, but that’s just the way it is

It is not like the Fiat currency that we print is worth anything anyways.

Maybe they will just print more money to cover it....

I’m assuming that “cut a deal” is a euphamism for the bluedogs getting thier piece of the pie (extortion money).

This will be a signal for the blue dog voters to choose (R) next time around.

This will be a terrible mistake on the part of the Blue Dogs.
If they vote yes on obamacare I believe you will see Americans, conservative Americans, rise up as never before.

Spread the word on the September March on D.C.!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what the deal turns out to be, America is screwed.

That flushing sound you hear approaching, is more of our freedom going down the toilet.

" " Though House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says the bill won't reach a floor vote by the August recess, leaders hoped to get the bill out of committee by the end of the week."

Yep. And "cutting a deal" with Obama, Pelosi, et al is a euphamism for "getting lied to".
