Morning Bell: Dead Legislation Walking
http://blog.heritage.org ^ | March 9, 2010 | Conn Caroll

Another day, another stream of health care fantasy from the White House. A quick look at two health care events from yesterday, one in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and the other in Tawas City, Michigan, clearly exposes the yawing gap between the Obama administration’s health care rhetoric and cold hard legislative reality. First in Glenside, President Barack Obama turned up the volume on his already tired “final push” for health care reform. In addition to the usual litany of false claims about the legislation in Congress (in fact, you don’t get to keep your doctor, it isn’t paid for, it doesn’t reduce costs) President Obama also repeated his new line from his doctors-in-lab-coats address last week:

I think he is in the double secret final push mode now.

There is some serious Chicago arm twisting going on right now. I also feel sorry for some of those Dems . . . . . Nah!

Well he knows that the people are in rebellion, President Obama knows that the Dems ship is taking water and could go down big in November.

Obama’s comunist disconnect from reality.

It’s clear to regular folks that the Socialists are insane + on their way to bankrupting the USA.

Everyone else is wandering in shock, asking “Are those Democrats really Communists??”

The answer is yes. They are. Sure, 0bama sounds “extreme,” but he’s no more extreme than most of the Commies in his party and Commie voters supporting him.

We’ve got a real problem here, and it’s not just Ocommie. It’s the whole horde of them. They’re like orcs. We need a Crusade.

In the meantime, legislative “limbo” has not been kind to the Senate bill. Every day seems to bring news of yet another yes vote switching to undecided or no vote.

Misleading. Looks like Stupak is going to cave and take his so-called "prolife dems" (at least a dozen) down with him. Stupak: Health bill abortion fight can be resolved ('optimistic' on Commiecare™)

“Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
Rep. Lincoln Davis 202-225-6831 Columbia office: 931-490-8699
Rep. Jim Cooper 202-225-4311 Nashville office: 615-736-5295
