DOA - Dead On Arrival
Yeah, right, dead in a FILIBUSTER-PROOF SENATE.
Listen, I remember last Thursday. People calling Glenn Beck’s program gleefully exclaiming that it was “DOA” in the House. They had spoken to their critter, and (s)he said that it would surely fail.
Listen, gang, listen. We’re getting taken to the wood-shed again. When you think it’s dead, they know you will not light up the lines to try to stop it.
This time, though, I do not think it matters. No filibuster means simple majority (right?). “They” only need 50. How in HELL can we win on this?

The Democratic defections from the filibuster proof Senate will be filled by the likes of our witless RINOs.

I think the only hope is that it cripples industry in a couple of states with Democrat Senators and that they take a second look; particularly MI and WV.

I don’t hold out a whole lot of hope for this.

The only decent spin to put on this is that it should fuel a conservative comeback in 2010, or that it will be “the shot heard round the world”.

Certainly, no one with any sense is going to buy Obama’s 11th hour rhetoric when they are on the receiving end of this legislation. If he knows how bad the bill is he shouldn’t sign it into law.

He owns it.
