Senate won't bring Upton fix to the floor [cool!]

Senate Democrats do not expect to vote on the ObamaCare fix the House approved on Friday with 39 Democratic votes, according to a senior Democratic aide.

The aide said there is not any pressure on the Senate Democratic leadership to bring the legislation sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) to the floor.

"There is a difference between constructive fixes designed to improve the law and bills that would gut it,” said the senior Democratic aide. “The Upton bill is the latter.”

There were four other justices that joined this guy. Spread the wealth around to them too.

Make Bammy put back all his waivers and exemptions and make sure they go in effect January 1.
You’ll see a tidal wave GOP win after 11 months of original recipe Bammycare. Delaying it a year means nobody get to feel the pain prior to the election.

Upton and the rest SHOULD run away from ‘fixes’ as fast as possible

Good the Senate Rats up in 2014 get no cover vote…The stupid party can say we tried…and Obama is stuck with his useless plan

[Red_Devil 232]

The whole purpose of zer0’s presser yesterday was to give Reid the stop signal on this bill and to mitigate the Dem revolt in the house. Boner needs to fast track bills like this and go on the offensive and just announce a vote on this bill before the WH and Dems can react.

Awesome. It’s all on Odumbo. Now someone tell these RINO’s to stop helping the Dumocraps, mkay?

[Heart of Georgia]

Does this help the 40 dim congressmen with the folks back home?

Reid leaving his Senators up in 2014 out hanging!

[SoFloFreeper]

Harry Reid & Obama hate people keeping the insurance plan they like! Spread the news!

[Blood of Tyrants]

THIS is what conservatives have been warning the country about for years. The longer Obamacare is in place, the more people hate it and the more they hate it, the more they hound even the liberal congress critters that they voted for.

The “Upton bill” should be known as “the bill to keep Obama’s promise.”

Who is such a low life coward that he won’t let them use his name!

[ScottinVA]

Perfect. Now it leaves 11 vulnerable Senate dems hanging out there even more vulnerable.

Thanks, Hairy.

It's NOT COOL! They are going to replace Upton with Landrieu and send it back to the House. The plan is then to demand the GOP pass it, or make them out to be anti-American and pro-evil insurance companies. In other words...IT'S A TRAP!

translation of the meaning of the Senate Democrats opinion:

no democracy needed, the dictator has already ruled, regardless of what the law demands be done, that HE will “fix it” and the representatives of the people need not bother

[CityCenter]

I think that depends on who voted on the orginal bill. It won’t help them at all.

They are not. They are endeavoring to destroy the effectiveness.
