KILL THE BILL.
Posted on 10/07/2009 6:09:09 PM PDT by cc2k
Rachel Maddow just said that Democrat Leader(s) in the Senator have told her that Reid will revoke chairmanships of any Senator that sides with Republicans in a filibuster.
She's discussing various strategies that the Democrats in the Senate are evaluating. But the first seems to be bullying their own leadership.
And she could be full of it. No guests or anything to support this other than her own monologue.
She also mentioned reconciliation as a last resort.
KILL THE BILL.
I believe those chairmanships come with MONEY...and they’re pretty hefty checks!!
Well, this is a critical vote for them. Revoking committee chairs for party members who vote the wrong way on critical votes was S.O.P. for years.
The question is, how come only the Democrats do it? Why is Olympia Snowe still on all those committees? Why hasn’t she been moved to the basement of the Senate office building?
It seems as if the Democrats understand Politics 101, if nothing else.
The “shite” these guys are pulling is getting close to an act of war.
If true, I hope the Republican Senators will invite the ex-chairmen to join the Republican Party. Shouldn’t be a scary move for these Democrat Senators, since if they’re wanting to filibuster with the Republicans already, it’s because their constituents have let them know in no uncertain terms that the socialist health care reform proposal must be killed.
DICTATORSHIP!! BANANA REPUBLIC.....Harry Reid is a DISGRACE!!
Or will they revoke seniority as well, so if you do this, you never get a chairmanship.
That is some tough talk from a soon to be ex-senator.
You own it Dems, take a hint from Albuquerque where your future is going.
As you creeps continue to crash our economy and saddle us with stifling debt and Socialism don’t expect to retain the WH or Congress.
GREAT! Bring it on!
Health control.
Mafia
Nothing like a desperate, cornered commie ‘RAT. Here come the threats. If you want to keep your chairmanship, you better help the commie ‘RAT party screw over the American people.
He won’t be in the Senate much longer himself.
Hopefully some of them will grow some gonads and contact Glenn Beck !
Eating their own, are they??
I bet the dems who are struggling against Obamacare have read the writing on the wall and realize they may as well start packing now because in 2010 they are OUTTA THERE!!!
Disgusting, whatever happened to the USA?
Pigs.
Let’s ask Arlen Spectre!
The GOP might win the debate and lose the vote.
Is Reid a dictator? Or is he simply taking orders from Barack The Terrible?
Are these men willing to bankrupt and enslave America and abandon our poor and elderly to a discompassionate healthcare bureacracy whose main goal is not the quality of human life, but cost containment?
Or keep a “Committee Chairmanship” in a Senate that will only slightly less hated than the swine flu?
It seems being spanked by Harry Reid should be a Red Badge of Courage.
Can he do that? I bet they just love being little piggies following that pig.
Dem Senators who Help Filibuster Health Care will have Chairmanships Revoked

WOW
So much for the party of “freedom”
Wait ... I thought that the Dem Senate was now 'filibusterproof' supposedly ... and Reid *still* has to threaten heavy-handed tactics against any Dem who might have a few questions or two ???
Our Founding Fathers must be laughing in their graves over this complete overreaching dramatics by some schmuck from Nevada .....
It’s a threat and form of bribery in reverse. Soon they will have nothing further to sink to.
Reid reminds me of the histroy of King George III. Any noble supporting the independece of the American Colonies would lose their titles and estates.
Americans knew what it meant then, and they know what it means now.
STAND FOR FREEDOM BLUE DOGS!
RECLAIM AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!
I guess the idea that spending bills have to originate in House is yet another tired old idea from that obsolete thing we used to treat as “The Constitution”...?
That’s a great idea!
Keep your powder dry.
Those bluedogs know a yes vote means they are gone next election. They ran as conservatives. The chickens will come home to roost....
Some of these Rats need to be reminded of another Senate leader......Senator Daschle ring a bell?
Can we really believe anything he says?
Whale poop is what the dems are.
did she mention that no one needs to fear scary harry since he will be leaving the senate permanently next election. pack your bags, reid and don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
One word....reelection (or sould I say the lack of being?).
I have more respect for a street-level thug than these Rat jackals.
I think it’s a grand idea - and I bet something like it comes out.
You know they lurk....
Get out the Vaseline folks. The Dems are going to try to ram this one through at all costs.
Harry is dumb as a box of rocks. This is his last term in the Senate thank goodness.
So these RAT Senators don’t have minds of their own to think with??? They need Reid/Obama to tell them how to vote and when to vote and when to.....
Then what good are they to their constituents if they can’t think and bow to threats and can be bought off so easily?
If some have doubts about what I'm saying, let me clarify: like the poster in D.C. said on 9/12, "We came unarmed, this time."

I and many I’m sure will have great respect for all democrates who step up to the plate and help defeat these American traitors!

I’ve been wondering how that particular issue will play out. They are going to do this as an “Amendment in the form of a substitute” to a revenue measure that the House has already passed (probably H.R.1586).
When that happens, the House has limited options. The pressure will be on for them to just concur with the Senate amendments. That won’t require another 60 votes in the Senate.
But if Queen Nancy Pelosi does that, She becomes “Speaker of the House that Doesn’t Matter.” I don’t think she cares about the Constitutional issue. But she will have essentially no power on anything if she allows this to go through with no input from the House.

I saw that sign—was standing right near the guy. Saw alot of pics of the guy on the internet at various sites. Maybe another million or so need to show up on the steps of the Capital again....
“A lose of chairmanship versus preserving freedom? ...”
This must be a hint of what the Founders meant by pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
I wish our senators and representatives would listen to the people. You’d think some of them would be encouraged.
AMEN, brother ... true Dems need to take back their party from the wackos now running it. I've been saying this for 30 years ....
