Obama To Rally Senate Dems on Healthcare (Obama goes to Hill today)
UPI.com ^ | December 6, 2009

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- President Obama prepared to rally Senate Democrats Sunday on a healthcare bill bogged down by abortion, a public option and a Medicare panel, officials said.

Obama was to meet with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other Senators in a rare Sunday session ahead of possible debate Monday on key amendments.

Conservative Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has threatened to filibuster reform legislation unless it contains restrictions on abortion coverage and the Senate has yet to find common ground on a government-run public option for health insurance.

Also up for discussion is the scope of an independent Medicare Advisory Board, which would have the power to rein in Medicare spending if costs continue to rise after 2014, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

I really wish these BENIGHTED FOOLS would drop this abortion restriction effort. We don't WANT the bill to pass, in ANY form.

What are you trying to do? Make it GOOD ENOUGH to pass?

Will the abortion restriction be your SELLOUT PRICE that will purchase your vote for the SOCIALIZATION OF AMERICA.

Get real, you freaking idiots. Kill this monster, don't put lipstick on it.

“No church today, Barry?”

Nope. Liberalism, Socialism, and a belief in global warming has replaced the need for it.

I think that fiction died when Obama summoned the head of the CBO to his throne room.

Obama and Congress will approve up to and including martial Law to get this monstrosity passed into law.

Interesting that there’s been so much weekend activity in Congress lately. They’re counting on people not paying as much attention on what they’re concocting as they would during the work week.

How many of the Democrats had to cancel public appearances and fundraisers in their home states, just to be hectored by this clown? Any Republican opponents out there? Today’s a good one to campaign!

That’s what they call a straw-man or red herring.

They focus on some inflated or irrelevant issue and attack that while the rest of the argument is accepted unnoticed.

I say irrelevant because, if this bill passes, they’ll add on abortion coverage at a later time, as an amendment to some other bill that passes in the dark of night.

As you said, reject the entire premise and argument.

KILL SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
