The stakes are about to be raised to levels of pressure that the Democrats never imagined possible.

Hail Mary pass!

It's gonna be a jump ball with a fight on the way down.

These things usually don't work but on rare occasions.

Somebody on another thread gave this alternate hypothesis: they have the votes, they just need to argue among themselves which marginal Rep can avoid having to fall on his sword in order to pass it with the least damage in November.

They’re just getting their talking points together...no matter which way the vote goes.

When I think of those Dems now on the saddle, I keep being reminded of the character played by Robert Ullrich in “Lonesome Dove”.

He rode with cold-blooded murderers and although reluctant, did nothing to intervene in the killings, except some words “I did not sign up for this”.

At the end, he was hung along with those who committed murder.

Morale of story: You better not bet that you will not be found guilty if you did nothing to stop murder.

The Dem leadership is committing cold-blooded murder on Americans.

At this point, even if I were a Democrat representative who wanted the bill passed, I'd be so fed up with His High-Handedness by now that I'd switch my vote to 'no' on mere principle.

I think any normal red blooded American would react like that at some point. But probably no one in this bunch. It would be inspiring if it did.

At what point - if ever - will the MSM call out Pelosi on her constant lies and failed deliverables?

And why is this sick, obsessive maniac in the Empty Suit putting the country through this terrible divisiveness?

An idea I find surprisingly contemporary and timely!

They would not have discussions as to who gets a pass at the WH en masse. That sort of thing happens in Pelosi’s office.

Besides, BO doesn’t give two -—ts as to who gets pushed off the cliff. Its all about Him.

You would still have to watch out for the swinging baseball bat Capone style.

Jack Cafferty on CNN has a couple of times and he didn't mince words, calling Pelosi horrible and sleazy, and Obama a liar.

So what happens if they do not attend the “mandatory” meeting? Puh-LEEZE.

Their pay gets docked?

They get court-martialed for "failure to repair"?

They get put on double secret probation?

Obama won't campaign for them?

Most likely outcome: the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will sponsor a primary challenger and will not give them any support in the general election.

“If I was a Democrat no vote, I definitely wouldn’t eat or drink anything while at that meeting.”

The whole purpose of the command performance is to ensure that all the kool aid is consumed.

Obama is having a mandatory all House Dems meeting on Saturday.

He told Bret Baier that he did not get involved in the legislative process. He wouldn't have been lying now would he?

Do you not yet understand this whatshisname has been hired to destroy this nation?

His job and perhaps his life depends on getting the job done. Health care is one major part of the destruction.

If they stood against this crap sandwich of a bill and sided with overwhelming public sentiment against the bill, they wouldn’t need DNC cash - they would receive contributions hand over fist.
