WHIP COUNT: DEMS LACK THE VOTES
The Drudge Report ^ | Sept 9, 2009 | Drudge

Posted on 09/09/2009 3:09:19 PM PDT by bamahead

At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House, a Hill source claims. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against a health care bill without a strong public option.

Unless multiple Democrats flip on their stated position on health care, Speaker Pelosi lacks the votes to pass a bill through the House on the strength of Democrat votes alone.

I’ve been burned too many times before, so forgive me for saying, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Blue Dogs on one side, Maxine Waters on the other.

The country will dispatch this fool party the first chance they get.

Did the Speaker of the House lie to the President of the United States?

Maybe she was just briefed by the CIA.

How about this from Murtha?

Rep. John Murtha (D-PA): “We Cannot Support Any Health Care Reform Proposal Unless It Explicitly Excludes Abortion From The Scope Of Any Government-Defined Or Subsidized Health Insurance Plan.” “We believe in a culture that supports and respects the right to life and is dedicated to the protection and preservation of families. Therefore, we cannot support any health care reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan. We believe that a government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan, should not be used to fund abortion.” (Letter To Speaker Pelosi, 6/25/09)

Yahoo!

I printed that story and faxed it all 3 of my Rep’s offices; Jane (the RAT) Harman and told her that she’s on the wrong side of issue again (as usual...)

Why not? She lies to everyone else.

That means he knows it will fail and he can hide behind prolife to curry favor for 2010.
