Is it wrong to hope a smarmy little twit get the ass kicking he sorely needs and deserves?

Yes - after all, it's for the children...

Don't be fooled by the so-called "blue dog" Democrats. This is a ploy to get the Republicans to relax and think the Dems don't have the votes and thereby not put forth as much an effort to block this.

Watch how fast these blue dogs turn yellow.

Last night I was flipping through channels. I happened upon Rachael Madcow.

She was doing an insinuation hitpiece on blue dogs.

I think they are being told that they will be ruined with accusations if they don’t comply.

Rhambo would never allow a vote unless he knows the outcome. If it fails, it would severely hurt Obeyme.

Interesting Drudge headline: Rass has him at 49% approval - finally below 50%.

Perhaps Rhambo sees the trend and knows the window is closing before Obeyme's total collapse.

If they do now suddenly have the votes, I don’t think this will be about bribery. Congress holds the purse strings. This will be about blackmail.

Rahman has everyone either bought off or blackmailed sufficiently for a vote now.

“Rahm: “We know where your wife and children are”. “

Probably not much more thinly disguised than that.

“That’s why we have to be ever vigilant and keep up the pressure. We can’t allow ourselves to be distracted.”

Exactly. As I posted yesterday, this cambridge thing is a calculated distraction to avert the public’s attention. Don’t forget it was Rhambo that said “never let a good crisis go to waste”

They are using this incident and Obama’s planned comments to divert attention. Just watch, if healthcare passes, count on Obama throwing gates under the bus the next day.

Rahm is evil to the core and politically brutal.

He is Obama’s hitman.

I hate them all.

Note to any Blue Dogs being threatened: Come clean. It's the only way to save yourselves.

Good. I’d like to see Pelosi humiliated when they don’t have the votes.

Don't count on it. As 0bozo said last week or so, don't bet against him. If Pelosi is not sure of the outcome, they would not be having the vote.

I would say that 0bozo & his chief thug enforcer Rahm Emmanuel, are coming down HARD AS A TON OF BRICKS on so called moderate or "conservative" blue dog demoRATs. I have a feeling that all the stops are being pulled out, and these folks are literally being threatened & bludgeoned to vote for the bill or else (maybe their home might suddenly have a devastating fire, or there could be a "tragic" accident of a family member). I would not put anything past 0bozo & this thug totalitarian ways. We gonna have to eventually end up fighting this bastard & his fascist thugs in the streets.

Rahmbo has wanted the SOH job for a long time. He will make a move for it as soon as the witch is dead. This is his bill (and his brother’s). He will not go quietly in to the night. We have to fight the wolf in ballerina’s tutu.
