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.

And to think Obama and Co. will bring down this country without showing his documentation, one lousy piece of paper.

I am going to the hill to rally the Senate Democrats, c'mon guys and gals, rally around, let's all huddle up now and You Listen to This!

Since you ignored the Tea Parties and the DC 9/12 rally, I assume the only thing that will make an impression is a guaranteed loss of your political career in Washington as of the next election. If you vote for the health care bill, you will be on the “They voted for it” political Hit List.

Thereafter, We the People, will do all in our power to wholeheartedly support whomever runs against you to defeat you in the next election. If you vote for this socialized medicine bill, we will picket, we will go to your rallies with signs that say Never Forget he/she Voted for Socialized Medicine! We will holler, we will generally make a nuisance of ourselves and do everything up to and maybe including civil disobedience. We shall vigorously support your opponent in November 2010, or whenever you are up for reelection. It's your call!

P.S. 220 Million people, the Sleeping Giant, just woke up and now see and understand what you are doing. . .

We Tea-Partied, we went to Washington, we wrote and called Congress—at least I have. They will do what they want and our only way to pay them back is to VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

I would join a National Strike and Aggressive Protest—just give me the date!

They all look supremely unhappy in the photo. I think that says it all.

Agree with you. Republicans debating abortion on the Senate floor makes me cringe. A bill without abortion will not make the bill better. And, abortion will somehow be permitted in the final bill.

The Democrats could order the execution of 100,000 random citizens and they’ll still get voted back in 2010.

Not going to happen. The Democrat-RHINO media will choose the pharmaceutical companies and doctors as the official scapegoats or they will create their very own “Reichstag fire”.

The Democrats and RHINOS will not fall from power until the country is literally burning ruins. Their power will continue to grow and grow for many decades.

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.

CONSERVATIVE demoRAT? There isn't any such critter as a conservative demoRAT. Just varying shades of socialist commie pigs. Ben Nelson is merely posturing for the folks back home & is getting covered by the demoRAT leadership to pretend he will filibuster, when in reality it will be another paltry $100M bribe for the demoRAT leadership to get Ben Nelson or any other so called moderate or "conservative" to vote for this socialist takeover of our healthcare.
