While Nanzi Pelousy is legislating health, maybe someone in congress could offer an amendment for me to lose 5 pounds. That would be great.
This comes amid increasing enthusiasm on the right, and among the Tea Partiers who started the revolt in the first place. Organizers are setting up numerous events, from townhalls to virtual pep rallies, to get the enthusiasm back to its peak.
All this comes amid evidence that enthusiasm on the left is decreasing, not increasing. At least 23 Democrat House members that voted for the health care bill before are currently undecided, according to the Hill. And this division comes just as all 41 Republican Senators have signed a letter to Harry Reid saying that they would uphold the Byrd rule on reconciliation, making it that much harder for Democrats. The unity on the right, and division on the left, speaks volumes.
Then comes the news story that the strategy that was planned for reconciliation may not be legal. Apparently, the Congressional parliamentarians will soon rule if reconciliation can be used on a bill that the President has not yet signed. The parliamentarians could significantly complicate matters by requiring President Obama to sign the bill into law before Congress could revise it through an expedited budget process. The constitutionality of the Democrats strategy is questionable, at best.
Well, what do these diverse array of facts lead us to? It leads us to a ‘Thelma and Louise’ moment for Democrats. Democrats have always had the power to pass Obamacare. The question is, were they willing to commit political suicide to pass the bill. Obama is already distancing himself from Senate and House candidates that he knows are dead men walking. He is looking at 2011 and beyond. But for many Senators and all of the House, only November matters. Are they all willing to be lemmings and jump off the cliff? I doubt it…but these are liberals we are talking about.
When Biden is out of the country, I guess Pelosi assumes the role of making stupid comments. Are the two really twins?
....she was watching the news the night before last and saw Nancy Pelosi say: "We need to pass the Health Care bill in order to find out what's in it". Mrs WBill came off the couch and yelled "That's the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard!!!!!".
Dems are really, really in trouble on this one. What's unbelievable to me is that they've no clue how deep they're in it.
We had to destory the village to save it.
We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.
Some statements are so stupid on their face they are indefensible to the point of laughter and riducule.
