...not to mention the endless phone calls he was getting from FReepers and Tea Partiers all over America. Way to go FReepers!
Yep
But in your scenario, the Senate would need 60 to pass this new “fixer” bill.
Call him and thank him. Thank the leaders who have convinced him to as well.
They may be stuck voting for the language and it might be the law, but it doesn't mean anyone must enforce those provisions. We need to of course kill this in the cradle.
“Helpful, but Obama is obsessed and will eventually have it postponed if he needs to.
Everyone knows he’s a extreme leftist bone head”
Obsessed leftit bonehead.... hmmm, is that the Hope and Change America elected in Nov 2008?
“Why does this guy even have to resign at all?”
I agree. I dont get it. He could simply decline to run for re-election, show up only for the critical votes ad spend the rest of the time in Georgia.
He is doing the opposite of what KBH decided to do.
So, basically, we need to start talking up how inexperienced bimbo is on rules of Congress. His lack of experience is causing him to make GRAVE errors in everything he says. Hmmmm, like you said, time for Fox and a few others to talk this up big time.
“You can’t call it up twice. Once defeated it is dead”
That’s exactly the point. THERE IS NO REASON to make Reps walk the plank unless they win the prize. They ALREADY got burned on several big votes for cap-n-trade and obamacare.
Note that Pelosi is a liar and an idiot. She expresses confidence in passing but doesnt have the votes - period. She could pass the bill tomorrow with enough Dem votes ... but she blames Republicans:
“Pelosi voiced confidence that Democrats will prevail over what she said was Republican obstructionism and win passage of landmark legislation that Obama will sign into law.
“What has happened in the last year, in the past year, in the United States Senate is a total obstruction by the Republican senators,” Pelosi said.”
“There is the real risk that post the November elections you will have a lot of lame duck Dems who would have voted NO but will give one for the team on their way out and vote YES and Obamacare will pass sometime in late November or early December. If Pelosi votes now and loses she will not have the opportunity to test that idea out.”
Now THERE’s a possible scenario I have not heard yet. Of course, the incoming Repub House can simply defund the whole thing.
Gibbs works for a MUSLIM RADICAL TERRORIST who dispises Christians and their Christian Holidays! Therefore, expect the Healthcare Bill Vote to be scheduled for 9:00 A.M on Easter Sunday......and this is not meant as sarquasm.
No. I'm assuming that they will try to do this via the reconciliation process. I don't think they can pull it off but I think they will have to try. Pelosi is bleeding votes in the House based on today's news reports so they are going to have to conjure up some sort of "promise" to the House that their required changes to the bill will indeed be made. This can only be done by some sort of advanced reconciliation bill that the Senate can vote on. I don't think the members of the House are going to accept any kind of verbal promise on this issue. In fact, some Congressmen have stated that they are voting NO and they will not change their vote based on any sort of 51 vote Senate Plan. This thing is falling apart for the Dems.
Senator Barry Soetoro,(aka: Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.;aka,aka,aka,etc.) did NOT resign his darn Senatorship until after he was Elected!, but then he clearly has No Ethics, No Morals, and was doing Nothing in the Senate since he had been elected. He did find time to try to get his “Cousin” elected President of Kenya, trying to underhandedly force Kenya to convert to 100% MUSLIM,to convert Kenya to 100% Muslim Shria Law even tho Kenya was then less than 5% Muslim, and at least silently approving of his “Cousin’s” Leading of Fatal Riots and the burning of Christian Churchs and their Congregants alive after his Electoral Defeat. But I guess these are all coincidences that barry had no knowledge of and would NEVER had approved of if he knew about this horrible stuff. You have to believe OBOZO is Dumber than a Rock to believe he knew nothing about all of that........:-)
Planned all along. Now he gets undeserved attaboys.
Thanks Ernest.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollees cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees in fiscal 2010, Matz said. We took them at their word, and I cant believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward, he added.
we should send him a thank you
Think Deal now should get our full support in his run for Governor.
If he votes against Obozocare, we'll "HALE" the Deal.
That is the ONLY thing I would write on ANY fax to ANY Democrat lawmaker and RINOs these days.
They will know EXACTLY what you are talking about.
Publish their home addresses in the district, for lawn-sit ins if necessary. I mean, wneed to consider now going totally Birmingham Walgreens Counter Service 1964 on this.
