Not too many times will you see Pence get heated on the House floor.

Pence: "The Democrats are prepared to ram through a one trillion dollar government takeover of health care...Ignoring the will of the American people, twisting the rules of the House and the Senate into a pretzel, we're headed for a showdown this weekend, but I got to tell you, I like our chances.

The reason House Democrats don't have the votes is because the American people know this is a government takeover of health care, mandating that every American purchase health care whether they want it or need it or not, passing hundreds of billions of dollars in job killing tax increases, providing public funding of abortion and setting into motion government run insurance that will cost millions the insurance they have is a government takeover of health care, lets have the debate, a minority in Congress plus the American people equals a majority, America, we can win this fight"

King pulled this same stunt back in November, and when the Saturday crowd failed to materialize, it actually hurt our vote that night, which went 220-215 against us. I was there.

You can only make a souffle rise so many times. I hope the leadership has blessed this maneuver.

Rep. Pence was on WLS-AM this morning just before Rush, saying much of the same. Hope he’s right.
