"And if you're a bedwetting crybaby, you should just go home right now."

Wouldn't that decimate the Dem caucus?

[bigbob]

Actually I think a lot of them should go home. If an ethical person was elected to serve the public and yet is unable to do the right thing when the choice comes down to doing what he was elected to do, or satisfying a party boss, then the only thing to do is resign.

[MrEdd]

Or they can reject the helthcare agenda and seize control of the party after the 2010 and 2012 elections remove the healthcare crowd from office.

"Democrats who are considering voting against the bill are about to experience arm-twisting, threats, and pressure like they've never experienced."

Yeah, that or a nice big bribe to make their time out of office well worth it. Hey, whatever works.

I just wish one of them would be a real American and think of this country first. Any moderate that would expose the commie tactics would become an instant political superstar. Not only with the right either.

I wont hold my breath.

SEIU thug, Pelosi and Rahm all holding baseball bats and having a little chat with a ‘NO’ vote Dim, “Nice set of arms and legs ya got there, be a real shame if somethin’ were to happen to them...ya might want to reconsider how yoos gonna vote....yeah, you think about it .”

If the RATS are really worried about Nancy then switch parties. Not that I’d ever want them.

[MamaLucci]

A (small) part of me hopes the rats follow Pelosi off of the cliff......the political
bloodbath that would ensue will realign Congress, to the right, for a generation. A
larger part of me hopes that a coalition of politically savvy (AKA self-serving)
democrats mutiny, and throw San Fran Nan overboard.

[Nosterrex]

Does anyone believe that there are enough Democrats with gonads big enough to stand on principle? They are more like eunuchs than men. Pelosi has more testosterone than the men in her party.

[bt579]

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The cause is well known and it is just. When the alleged leader of a democratic republic places his own wishes so above those of the complete body politic, he is no longer worthy of the title, leader, no matter what office he might occupy.

Only a fool with no clear appreciation of, or for, America past and present, would dare undertake what this pustule in the White House is attempting to do. It is contingent upon the Republican Party to undertake every step, every maneuver it can to bring this government to a halt.

[Common Sense 101]

Dems turn risky health vote into manhood contest...

Or in other words, a “double failure”.

[bigoil]

This Democratic ‘strategist’ seems like another inside the Beltway meddlesome amateur.

The House bill that they all voted for in November is DEAD.

They are voting on a completely DIFFERENT bill, the Senate bill. That, in and of itself, is justification for changing ones vote...Duh.

And if Bart Stupak voted for the initial House bill with no abortion funding then of course he is going to change his vote and vote against the Senate bill which HAS abortion funding...Duh.

And if a number of true committed progressives voted for the initial House bill with a public option, of course they are not going to vote for a Senate bill which does NOT have a public option...Duh.

By all the genital urination comments, I can only think that the Democratic ‘strategist’ in question is probably the only man in the entire country who looks like a male phallus:

James Carville.

It’s dead Jim.

Since most don't have any, how will that work?

[SledgeCS]

Actually I want the Congress to be more accountable, I want some kind of provision that will list the NAME of the person who adds ANY amendment to a bill.

[GailA]

It ain’t dead until congress is recessed and we flip at least 1 in Nov, or we will be fighting this battle for 3 more years!

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 enrollee’s 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

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

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 can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

As Senator Jim DeMint stated, if this bill passes, the fall election will be fought on its repeal.
