In Gamble, Obama and Dems Prepare to Ram Health Care Through

President Barack Obama strongly signaled that Democrats will move forward on a health care overhaul with or without Republicans, preparing his party for a fight whose political outcome will rest with voters in November. Delivering his closing argument at a 7-1/2-hour televised policy marathon Thursday, Obama told Republicans he welcomes their ideas -- even ones Democrats don't like -- but they must fit into his framework for a broad health care remake that would cover tens of millions of uninsured Americans. That's the deal.

Obama doesn't care what the details are as long as it is socialism.

All hat and no cattle. If they had the votes they'd do it and not just threaten it. If they do actually do it, they will face electoral annihilation in November and any GOP'er will be able to get elected by promising to do away with it.

The problem overlooked here is that this neither about health nor care. It is about control. Why else would this sorry lot, who base their entire raison d'etre on re-election to the piggy / power trough risk it all for this?

The only answer that makes sense is that they do not fear a re-election failure because they do not believe that it matters. Now, who will dare to consider the implications?

“If they had the votes they’d do it and not just threaten it. If they do actually do it, they will face electoral annihilation in November ...”

That pretty much sums up the situation.

Dimlibs planned the nuclear option from the start. The theatrics about bipartisanship have always been a setup for their tyrannical stunt, and it won’t be the last. Expect the nuclear option to be standard fare for ramming through Socialism. “The election is over.” If we don’t get rid of these scumbags in 2010 and 2012, elections will be over.

BINGO!!!

It ain’t a “healthcare” bill. It is a TAX bill...and he needs some bipartisan duck and cover for the largest TAX BILL ever on planet earth as they head into an election cycle.

Without some “walking around” money on the street...ACORN and SEIU won’t perform for the Dems in November.

Any “benefits” in the bill ..supposedly slated to “kick in” in 2014...IMHO will never be paid.

Hmmmmmm.........never tho’t of that. That’s why the GOP nominee in 2012 needs a VEEP with an Hispanic surname. (Marco Rubio comes to mind.)
