I hear you, but remember when we kept hearing that any bill that isn't single payer and/or does or does not cover abortion (the left block and the fake moderate block) would be rejected by 20 something dems in the House during the zerocare vote?
A lot of us (at the time) weren't sure a consensus could be reached between the left block and the Stupak’s of the House. We now know the fix was already in, and it was all a matter of semantics, gimmicks, bribes, and who would be allowed to vote against it. But the number to pass was always there.
We have to ratchet up the pressure of the Weeper of the House and each and every GOP House member to defeat this.
I am telling my critter that a vote for Boehner as Speaker is the same as voting for America's death sentence.

I think Obamacare is a good analogy.

I always knew that the blue dog threats not to support the ACA were empty.

I hope that getting rid of the Diversity Visa is a poison pill. The chairman of the CBC made a pretty definitive statement on this matter.

Killing the DV is essential to stopping this bill, IMO.

The CBC is invested in open borders, but I don't think they have the same stake in this amnesty as Big Labor, the cheap labor lobby in Silicon Valley and Big Agra, or La Raza and its allies.
