..dingy is obsessed,he’s been saying this since last April
....and when it don’t happen they will blame the GOP because they didn’t have enough votes on their own side. Even now, I
don’t think they have the votes to get 50.

Republicans had best be ready to vote with their feet. If this goes through it will have the mandatory "Individuals buy insurance or go to jail" provision in it.

This is very exciting! I am looking forward to another failure of this bill.

If members of Congress want to go against the will of the American people, then I say go for it. Most likely the bill will be killed in reconciliation, if they even try it, and if not, the Dems will lose control of both Houses in November and the Presidency in 2012...if not sooner.

Boehner should respond:

Mr. President, it’s obvious that we have misunderstood you, sir. We thought you had invited us to the meeting in order to work on the details of a health care bill. We didn’t know you had invited us so you could announce that you and the Democrats in the House and Senate had already worked out all the details of your bill.

Now we see that you do not need us to attend that meeting after all. Accordingly, we will all clear our calendars for that day.

Thank you for thinking of us, Mr. President.

“Just like cockroaches... “

Aptly named. Dirty, only come out at night, something that needs to be squished.

Best to exterminate.

Reid’s trying to play chicken with McConnell. He doesn’t have the votes.

Dingy ought to talk to the other 58 democrat senators and stop talking to his little cocoon of 0bama and Queen Nancy Nine Percent. He might find some different input. Too many democrat senators know that vote that passes this bill (whatever that bill is, by the way) is political suicide. They will claim that “reconciliation” is “undemocratic” and won’t support it. Then they can let the GOP kill it with a filibuster, and just wring their hands. And also wipe their brows.

I don’t think he’ll get 50 to make it a reconciliation bill.

Pass it with 50 votes, and we will repeal it with 50 votes, if not in 2011, then in 2013 when we have a big majority in the US Senate.

Maybe some Regan appointed Judicial Bench Activist will throw it all out that it is not constitutional.

One thing you can say about the communists, they don’t give up easy. When they set their sights on destroying a country, they’ll go all out until the end.

lol

then you are gullible.

There are 100 ways the Republicans can bring the senate to a total standstill. They wont do it, mark my words. They might TRY (knowing they don't have the votes) just to please their base but it will never actually happen.

The RATS always have another dirty trick up their dirty sleeve. It’s like those movies where the bad guy looks dead and then tries to stab the good guy when he turns his back.
