Dem Defections Pile Up on Health Care
ABC News ^

Posted on 11/06/2009 7:46:47 PM PST by RocketMan1

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: Could the health care bill be in real trouble in the House?

The Democratic defections are starting to pile up in advance of a vote scheduled for tomorrow on sweeping health reform efforts. (That schedule could slip to Sunday or beyond, if the votes aren’t there.)

According to the National Republican Congressional Committee -- which, of course, has an interest in watching this vote particularly closely -- 15 House Democrats and counting are saying publicly that they’ll oppose the measure when it reaches a vote.

Democrats can afford only 40 such defections to squeak the bill through. They’d prefer to win with room to spare.

I must be over tired, I read defections as defecation's, which the bill certainly is.

The Rats have a choice...either jump ship or drown. That rusty garbage scow the “Obamapelosi,” is taking on water fast.

Don’t get all giddy. You might see 80 - 100 Democrats vote against the bill, assuming Pelosi lets it go to a vote. But they are covering their a**es so they can get reelected. I doubt there are 20 that are actually against it.

I think it was Jonah Goldberg who had a quote recently about the Democrats love big government, but they love getting reelected more.

Today I spoke to someone in my congressman’s office and told her I will do everything possible to defeat him in the next election if he doesn’t vote against this idiocy and he’ll be getting his Pink Slip.

She said he was firmly against Cap and Tax.

Why they want to tag their political futures, and the future of their political Party to two OBVIOUS mental retards: one who can't speak without a teleprompter and is a pathological liar ("he's the smartest man who ever served as President.."), and a crazy old bird who is obviously suffering from Toxic Botox Syndrome (T.B.S.)!

"We can only hoe that enough wake up from their totalitarian stupor!"

Freudian slip, RM. When you typed "hoe" you were obviously thinking of the politicians in Washington.

“Don’t be fooled. There are no Blue Dogs.”

You forgot the exclamation points, but a good summary. My “Blue Dog” has written in favor of it...after multiple protests forced her against her will to hold 3 town halls, where she was BLASTED, she now says: ‘All I heard in the town halls was how our system is broke and needs to be fixed’.

I guess it is hard to hear when Pelosi’s buttocks cover both of your ears!

Owens - thank you Newt and Dede. Thanks to Dede, Newt and NY-23 RINO GOP party bosses - we lost that seat.

13+ soldiers were murdered by an Islamic agent yesterday due to liberal Democrat laws, PC, liberal judges, etc....and stinking RINOs like McCain kissing Hussein’s arse.

I wish Hannity would stop having stinking Newt on his show.

Freudian slip, RM. When you typed "hoe" you were obviously thinking of the politicians in Washington.

Or, as in "Hoe: A Garden Implement." As in "I wish that Nazi would accidentally step on the business end of a hoe on her way back to the office and the handle would whack her Botox addled tightly-stretched face square between the eyes!"

I have a question ... did he vote for C&T and what is his stance on PelosiCare?

I think the biggest difference is that there are some honest prostitutes.
