O'Donnell Disses Deutsch: Your Ignorance Of ObamaCare Is Bliss
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/15/2010 6:54:02 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

New conservative spectator sport: watching MSM liberals lock horns over ObamaCare . . .

Today's Morning Joe offered a hugely-entertaining example. Larry O'Donnell, speaking from the Olympian heights of his omniscience of the legislative process, mercilessly condescended to Donny Deutsch. Ad-man Deutsch had earlier twice "guaranteed" that ObamaCare would pass. When O'Donnell appeared, he in so many words said Deutsch was so blissfully ignorant of the process that he didn't understand just what trouble the bill is in.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.
At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

I love to see these liberals go after one another. In this case however, O’Donnell probably has it right. He understands the process whereas Deutsch is basing his thoughts on emotion and some of the propoganda coming from Dem.leaders.

“I don’t know which of those I like least.”

Both are arrogant, condescending liberals.

O’Donnell is more dangerous, Deutsch is much more annoying, by a huge margin.

It’s easy for me, I dislike Deutsch more.

Bottom line as it stands today with the best data we have available, leaving out spin, wishcasting by Democrats and moping and negativity by some sunshine patriot Freepers, is Pelosi does not have the votes, period, that's that's the fact Jack. She needs of the 70 or so “Undecideds” 80% of them to swing her way. Is that doable, absolutely, probably, who knows. Cap and Tax according to some mopers was a done deal also, and it is dead in the Senate. ODonnell for the butt munch he is , is right, the dopes on that panel are believing news from the bunker, that Berlin is not under siege by the Soviets and victory is a Panzer thrust away. We STILL today have rumors of a vote, has an official notice of a vote been sent out by the Speaker...NO. Let's wait and see how the vote tally turns out before we commit Hari Kari and decide to live on a compound in Saskatchewan.

If and when this bill fails the aftermath is going to be very, very entertaining to watch, especially because it's an election year. Despiration should peak about mid October. I sure hope farmers have a good crop of popcorn this summer. A shortage of popcorn this year could be tragic......

Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall and be able to listen to what Pelousy is trying to threaten them with? She’s been Speaker since, what, 2007? What else could she possibly have in her bag of tricks to threaten them with? I, for one, would love to know.....

Donny Deutsch = douche.

I hated his "Big Idea" show... he never let an opportunity go by without bashing President Bush.

Why would any tv network give a microphone to a marketing guy to spew his lefty political vomit I have no idea... chalk it up to stupid people doing stupid things over and over again.

Keep digging your own graves fools.

Well this is a high stakes poker, she sure has setup the President and her own speakership. Ok a little inside baseball, a good friend of the wife’s and I has a daughter she is a senior staffer for a certain congressman from a southern state. He is a Democrat, a voted no Democrat first time and she said the pressure has been tremendous, so much so she was instructed NOT to answer any more calls from the Speaker’s office, the calls are 4 times a day, to basically pester and intimidate them into submission and he was a NO vote the first time. The Democrat congressman feels under siege and I don’t know if that is a good thing, this particular Congressman, it pissed him off. NOw take what you want from that story, but why would Nancy Pelosi be trolling NO votes if it was in the bag? Also when it comes to bribes, the spotlight is so white hot , most Congressman will not accept a pastrami sandwich right now from the speaker at the appearance of impropriety. This isn’t 1958 and a promise a new bridge or visitor center is offset by the albatross of voting for this dung. Now can Nancy “Massa” up a few votes, play Chicago hardball, sure. I think Jason Altmire needs to be investigated NOW, his flip-flop is suspicious to say the least.

She’s been threatening death of course, but beyond that? Maybe she’s threatening to torture their grandchildren.

I gotta agree. O’Donnell is full of himself, but he has a lot better chance of being correct than Deutsch.

Sometimes the problem with know-it-alls is that they actually know what they are talking about.

Precisely. This health control boondoggle is the Progressive wet dream of the century. If they had the votes they would have already voted on it a long time ago. The Dims have painted themselves deep into a corner.....
