Can they be trusted, these Democrats? I want to be relieved, since I think things will get worse for Obamacare in thirty days and we will have a better chance of saving our liberty.

They’ll wait for enough of the Blue Dogs to leave town (and ‘Pubs) then suddenly schedule a vote. Done it before, they’ll do it again. AND it gives the Blue Dogs cover with their constituents: “I was gonna vote against, but they scheduled the vote after I was already in the air. Not my fault, oh well.”

[geologist]

Let us stand and give a standing ovation of encouragement to the Blue Dog Democrats. It apparently bought us time.

Now let’s use it well.

Can they be trusted, these Democrats?

I don't think so.

[wastedyears]

We all know how good Commie promises are.

[jazusamo]

Now let’s use it well.

Amen! If we get it.

Waxman was born too late. He would have been right at home standing next to Hitler. Get your Big Nose out of my wallet, Henry.

[Deo volente]

I hope we don’t get something even worse come September.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Rahm and Pelosi will ram in a 2AM deal.

[mware]

I wonder if Nancy is going to bar the doors like she did last year when the Republicans used the time to speak on the House floor.

If The R's are smart they will spend every day on the floor READING those 1000 pages to the American people.

[Fu-fu2]

Torches and pitchforks on 9/12 should send the message...

[immadashell]

Attend every regional “townhall” meeting anyone of these jokers, democrat or republican, hold while they are in reach. If enough noise is made and the obsolete media pickup on it, there will be some very concerned incumbents heading back to Washington in September.

Birth certificate questions provide a double whammy.

“They’ll wait for enough of the Blue Dogs to leave town (and ‘Pubs) then suddenly schedule a vote”

I think the bill would first have to clear the committee before a floor vote. If Waxman/Pelosi try to bypass the Blue Dogs in the committee then I believe the Blue Dogs will all sprint in mass to DC to vote against the bill which would effectively destroy any chance for health care reform this year.

Can they be trusted? At the beginning of the year Mike Ross, my Congressman was praising Pelosi and Obama’s name in all the newspapers. It was sickening. He has been bombarded with phone calls and emails against the cap and tax and the health bill. I'm sure he knows his job is riding on the line. Do I trust him? NO! I look for the blue hounds to throw up their hands in the end and tell there constituents “ Well we tried our best.”

[Ikemeister]

Now is the time to burn up the phone lines people!!!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Rush just said that he had a message from someone that they were about to begin markup and schedule a vote before leaving town — who is right here?

[meyer]

Can they be trusted, these Democrats?

We can't trust half of the republicans. We certainly can't trust these democrats!
