The House is dominated by liberals. There were enough of them to ensure 218 votes for it. There are not that many in the other house. And do Senators facing re-election want to vote for massive tax increases and cuts in Medicare benefits for seniors? That's a question the Senate will have to answer - if they really like Pelosicare. The narrow margin of the House vote is really underwhelming!

A pub named Johnson from IL voted nay on the Boehner bill.

All of this process puts this bill right in the center of next year’s elections. Reid has already said the bill won’t be heard until the first of the year and frankly after the firestorm that is about to hit the Senate, it might be longer then that.

Thank you. Most people don’t realize that this is going to HURT them. It’s going to hurt them financially, when many are already unemployed, it’s going to hurt them physically when all those doctors retire and they can’t get an appointment for the little 2-year old who’s crying from pain, it’s just going to take a while for them to realize the extent of this disaster.

In the meantime we have to start paying attention to the Crap and Trade and the Education initiatives because that punk in the White House realizes he’s running out of time.

Next year is going to be a Democrap bloodbath. It’s going to be GLORIOUS to witness that!!!

If I were ever going to hire a worker for my business, I would not do so...I would resstructure my business to accommodate the huge additional financial burden to my business.

Why would I take a chance at this time? My taxes are going up everwhere, and my sales would likely fall.

It is defensive contraction time, and I am curious to see what the markets think of this on Monday.

I suppose those laboring under the new EU Constitution will invite our leaders to begin discussions on whether we will be joining them soon.

No problem. Senate won’t pass it.

They might not pass THIS particular bill. They'll strip out the Stupak amendment, then pass it.

There's 60 dems in the Senate, and at least two GOP turncoats, I guarantee. This will get passed for fear of one of these guys getting a horsehead in their bed, courtesy of Rahmie the Commie.

So I guess when a 80 year old with a hip fracture needs a hip replacement to fix the fracture- my husband ( who is a surgeon) will have to tell the patient- SORRY...

Don't worry. She will be dead long before she needs a hip replacement.(take your pick...,...pneumonia....flu...lockjaw....etc..)

They said the same thing, years ago, in Cuba and Venezuela. Each day they gave up a little more until they woke up one day and it was too late.

“C’mon... Blaming Boehner for a single defection in the whole, multi month process is not reasonable. I’m sure he was as surprised as the rest of us.”

And remember, Cao comes from a poor, black district full of people who very likely were demanding he support it. Can’t lay that at Boehner’s feet.

If the Senate wants to run with it in an election year. This is probably the high watermark for liberal activism. With their predominance, the Democrats could have easily passed it. It was a struggle to get a bare majority. That doesn't say much for Pelosi's ability to work across the aisle. If they could just get it through the House, they know in the Senate that 51 votes let alone 60 is not going to happen.

I would argue not to eat out at all. The vast majority of waiters and waitresses are young O supporters. The greatest impact you can habe is to give their employers a need to lay them off.

The same goes for cashiers, that is, most low-paying, unskilled workers. They need to be made to starve. Some might learn the destructive nature of their policy choices, and the rest might perish — and if we are ever to retain our freedoms, that is exactly what must happen.

Boren came out against the bill way back and voted against Cap and Trade. Rumor has it he could switch to GOP. He never endorsed Obama and is from a district that voted for Obama less then the overall state — think it was 30% in his district.

Anyone who’s surprised hasn’t been paying attention. What part of the Democrats have large majorities in both houses and the presidency doesn’t anyone understand?

Hmmm ... if it were the case that ONLY Party mattered, it should have been 256 votes in support of ObamaCare tonight in the House.

And yet ... somehow only 219 Dems voted for it ... along with one lone P-O-S RINO.


Democratic Party: 256 members
Republican Party: 177 members
Vacant: 2 seats (as of Sept. 21, 2009)


It would certainly appear that some other influential "force" was in play for those Dems to have DEFECTED from the Majority ...

I wonder what that influential force could have been ...

Its not a done deal even if it passes the senate. How do they think they will enforce it. Then there will be numerous constitutional challenges by Health Insurance Companies in the COurts, as well as by medical supply companies.

And then there are the people who will resist its implimentation. I do not believe the feds have the resources to enforce this demographic warfare Health Care Bill. We can fight it right down into the dust, even if it passes, and we can repeal it in 2013 when we take the government back.
