Dems look at bypassing Senate health care vote

BOSTON (AP) - A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday's Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.

The likeliest scenario would require House Democrats to accept a bill the Senate passed last month, despite their objections to several parts.

Aides worked frantically Sunday amid fears that Republican Scott Brown will defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election to fill the late Edward M. Kennedy's seat. A Brown win would give the GOP 41 Senate votes, enough to filibuster and block final passage of the House-Senate compromise on health care now being crafted.

I believe thae sign at one of the tea party events read something like “shove it down our throats and next election we’ll shove it up your a$$.” I really do believe this will happen.

Political WAR! The American people won’t stand for their duplicity. Talk about throwing all of them out in November. No brainer!!!

Their arrogance is unbelievable and very, very stupid.

It’s not clear the House will pass anything after Coakely takes a shellacking in Mass. (if that happens). Nothing could send a clearer message to the political class than a Republican winning in Mass running on the issue of rejecting health care and winning.

“shove it down our throats and next election we’ll shove it up your a$$.”

And this IS the next election.

Rather then worrying getting the Marxist cacucus in the House on board then Dems better be worrying about those 50+ Democrats sitting in seats representing Congressional Districts that voted for Bush 2xs and McCain last time.

Ram this thur and their political life expectancy is less then a fruit flys.

The problem may lie in getting the house to accept the Senate version as their version in total especially if Brown wins in a blowout.

Of course they are. They are Anti-Constitutional, domestic enemies, of Truth, Justice, and the American Way!

They are slimy criminals that will tell any lie, cheat in any way necessary, and steal as much as they can, to get their way and live their dirty pervert perniciouys lives in as much hedonistic pleasure as they possibly can. Bribiong as many people as they can to keep their power.

Other thing Democrats need to think hard about. Why ram thru a bill and destroy your political majority when you know this piece of crap is going no where once the 13 State AG’s file their lawsuit?

Maybe the GOP isn't the only stupid party out there any more.

If they try this they better just head home—to hide, because the biggest march on Washington ever seen will occur and it will not be pleasant for the lying Democrats.
