White House unleashes vicious partsian attack over health care vote
The American Thinker Blog ^ | December 25, 2009 | Rick Moran

Merry Christmas from the White House.

In keeping with the spirit of the season, the administration's designated attack dog Dan Pfeiffer accused the GOP of standing in the way of "progress" and claims the Baucus bill accepted 150 Republican amendments:

"Contrary to what one Republican Senator said today, Democrats did not 'do the HELP Committee bill completely Democrat' without 'even ask[ing] one Republican opinion.' In fact, they accepted more than 150 Republican amendments.

In putting together the Finance Committee bill, Senator Baucus held months of bipartisan discussions. The Committee held a day-long bipartisan health care summit, convened three bipartisan roundtables, and even issued three bipartisan policy papers laying out the options from which the Committee chose to craft its bill..."

If they would put one tenth the effort into national security that they have into this nonsense we wouldn’t have airline passengers leaping over each other to subdue terrorists.

YEAH! All I heard was the Republicans had no ideas or where are their bills? Remember some of our guys actually held them up to show 0 when he said this during one of his speeches. I’m so sick of 0’s lies and sickofant enablers.

Baucus knows better than to equate what goes on in a committee with “Republicans”.

The administration hacks and flacks lie and misrepresent and the msm swears to their lies.

Without FNC there would be no truth disseminated. And even FNC carries O’s lies on occasion.

The jerks in the White House seem to define “progress” as trashing all that is good about America while they bankrupt the country and destroy it.

The fact that they are bringing this weirdo Plouffe out again shows they are on defense. LETS KEEP IT UP. They wouldn’t be doing this if they weren’t scared.

Yep, they are worried...

If this were true did any of them actually pass? No? Why are the democrats the party of NO?

If Poufter’s idea of “progress” is rushing headlong over the edge of a very deep cliff with hard rocks at the bottom of it, then the health care bill is “progres” alright.

and claims the Baucus bill accepted 150 Republican amendments”

Ummm.didn't Harry Reid bring in a brand new bill on Saturday, just before the cloture vote on Sunday, that no Republican Senator had even seen before, which Redid had refused to show to any Republican senator beforehand?
And didn't Pelosi and Reid change the locks to the doors of the committee rooms and physically prevent Republican congressmen from even entering the rooms where the health care bill was being written in secret by a bunch of 0bama communists?
And didn't Reid get every single Republican amendment, including amendments to stop using tax payer dollars for abortion, voted down by the loony left Democrats?

THey won’t ‘need’ Plouffe & his e-mail hacking son/employee (remember Palin’s e-mails?) because now they have theis ‘incident’ in China. It’s like the movie with Pitt & Redford. Operation ‘dinner out’.

I also am trying to find the news written about 0bama when he was offline/unavailable, etc, also over a holiday..Easter? Memorial Day? Biden was in charge. There was no discussion about where 0bama really was or what he was doing. Does anyone remember this?

Finally, when things like Bachmann’s march on Congress was gaining steam, Hasan’s shootings took place. THings like this are now happening around the moments that something is going against 0bama & Co. Has anyone not noticed this?

Partisans attack each other; that's what good partisans do. I read Moran's article and the cited links, and I don't agree with the "vicious" description. It's all the usual spin and clinging to one's own set of "facts."

Then again, my idea of "vicious" is waking up with a horse's head in your bed.

That's right. When health care costs continue to rise, it is Obama's fault.

Who cares what they did in the finance committee with the Baucus bill? Reid threw out the Baucus bill, and the other committee bill, and substituted his own bill. All the votes on the Baucus bill were a waste of time.
