I think Harry Reid and the other evil bastards are in for a surprise. There could be some “unexpected”, last minute and “surprise” defections by the Rats.

Spring and summer 2010 could be very “warm”.

They’ve said they had a deal numerous times already.

She’s got to be the most rabid pro-death Senator in Congress, it’s hard to believe that she would not have a hissy fit if there were ANY abortion restrictions in the Bill.

It's a psychological tool to demoralize the American public and therefore ‘give up’. (imo)

ABC News advertising review may explaiin why conservatives were locked out of health care shows

Snips: In the 98 broadcast days of ABC World News advertising logged by National Center Executive Director David Almasi and analyzed by Policy Analyst Matt Patterson, ABC's World News broadcast featured 1,102 commercials, 597 of which were placed by member companies of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) trade association, representing 54.17 percent of total commercials aired.

PhRMA very aggressively supports President Obama's health care agenda.

Says Matt Patterson, who analyzed and wrote a report on the findings, "ABC News seems to have a significant financial stake in the success of ObamaCare.  Should we be surprised that they hand over an hour to Obama to promote his plan, while shutting out opposing views?

Look, let’s get real.

There is no way that Nelson is going to stand alone against his party and block this. This bill is an existential necessity for the Democrats. Nelson is just playing games to bathe in the attention and headlines and to get some good deals for his state. He has a price, and they will meet it.

Federal funding for abortion will be in this bill, no matter how cleverly they try to disguise it. At best, they will allow Nelson a temporary “victory” and get past the filibuster hurdles, and then let him and a few others bail out in the final floor vote when they only need 50 votes (plus Biden).

It’s a done deal. Don’t waste energy hoping one of these Democrats will show some character and integrity. It’s not in their DNA. The last one of them that had any was Zell Miller. They are all blow-dried pompous asses with below average IQ’s who are in it for themselves, the country be damned.

Call, fax, email your Senators!
 
U. S. Senate
 
--Tell them where you live in their state

--Tell your Senators you want to actually see the bill and that
  you are outraged that Senate leaders are forcing their secret
  bill to a final vote.

--Tell them you oppose ObamaCare and urge them to vote "NO" on
  cloture and the final bill.

--Tell them you oppose the unconstitutional "individual mandate"
  and the oppressive taxes in the plan.

Didja notice, one or the other Senators will be a ‘’holdout’’ for awhile on some issue like abortion, and a ‘’deal’’ will be worked for them and they’ll get back on the wagon? Not one of them gives 2 hoots in hell what their constituants want, p-ss on em.
