The ObamaCare debacle is starting to look more and more like a Kamikaze mission for the ‘RATS.
Happy to oblige. I'll use "Wreckonciliation".
PORK SHOPPING!!!!
heat up the back room,
pelosi has some deals to be made.
Republican need to find their own flippers.
We should ask the Mayo Clinic if they'll place the role of Graceland in this idea. |
Fact #1...Hussein is an utterly amoral Maoist whose wettest dream is to have *government* control health care,thus controlling the very *survival* of Americans.
Fact #2...There are lots...and lots....AND LOTS...of life-tenure judgeships,lifelong $250K/yr jobs at the EPA,the Department of Education,the Equal Opportunity Commission,etc.....
Add facts 1 & 2 and it becomes clear that they just might be able to pull this off....
This bunch can and will do anything for this.
That’s right. Be the little whipped boys and girls when your leader Pelosi cracks her whip.
History will make a note of this.
This Congress will be remembered for it’s cowardly conduct and how stupid they are.
Even now, these Democrat's statements certainly smack of, "What'll ya give me for it!?"
HF
Does anyone think the fact that they are doing all of this for a bill that won’t be released until Wednesday?
The substance of the bill is secondary to the agenda. That is why there are Tea Parties.
They’re thinking of voting for it after they voted against it, and it is the good intentions that count. They have no overall concept of what should be done and none of them will have read it.
Yeah, that sounds like weak tea to me. I cannot imagine any Democrat who voted no last time deciding to vote yes this time without huge bribes.
Especially since Kent Conrad has said that any major changes from the Senate bill cannot be done by reconciliation.
As Conservatives, we need to start thinking about passage outside the box.
Being a congress person, relatively speaking, doesn’t pay all that well. I would not be surprised at all to find out that Pelosi is offering ‘buyout packages’ to representatives that will vote yes on the bill and get rich getting out.
I’m actually suprised I haven’t heard anyone in Conservative Talk Radio speculate on such a thing.
It goes back to a fundamental belief - there isn’t enough disincentives toward abusing your power in office. You don’t get re-elected? There’s another gig waiting - President of a University, K Street, Think Tank, etc.
He also voted for Cap & Tax. Voting for the healthcare debacle would make him a perfect 2/2 for disastrous legislation. Supporting those bills WOULD make any other lawmaker vulnerable, but most of the people of his district are so ill-informed, a majority probably have no idea who he is. If he goes through with voting in such a way, he'll probably win by 15 points, rather than his usual 20+ points. The RNC should throw some money into his district just to see what happens. Most folks around here positively loath 0bama, and Boucher has been with him from the start. If he can be linked to 0bama in the mind of the voters, it could very well cause his numbers to drop.
These 10 are holding their hands up and saying, “Hey, Nancy, throw a bribe over here, babe.”
Whores.
I think for a lot of them, they know they will have to find another job. They know that they are doomed no matter how they vote. In that case, they have to vote FOR it otherwise they will not be able to find government / lobbying work in 2011.
I don’t see why the Republicans have such a problem with reconciliation, all it means is the following:
If the Republicans want to pass a major piece of legislation (such as Social Security reform), they need 60 votes in the Senate.
If the Democrats want to pass a major piece of legislation, they need 51 votes in the Senate.
Sounds fair to me...just what are the Republicans COMPLAINING about?
