(CNSNews.com) – House Rules Committee Ranking Republican David Dreier (Calif.) said he is committed to doing “everything I possibly can” to prevent Democrats from using House procedural measures to pass a health care bill without actually voting on the bill.
In an exclusive interview with CNSNews.com, Dreier, a past chairman of the House Rules Committee, said he was committed to exposing a legislative tactic he described as “outrageous.”

“The California congressman, who told CNSNews.com that he was searching for formal ways that Republicans could stop the Slaughter Rule, announced his support Tuesday for a bill that would require a direct vote on the health care bill before it can be sent to Obama.”
Uh, I support THAT! Can the RATS possibly shoot that down...at least they need to deal with this whole SLAUGHTER PUBLICLY.
Slaughter the Slaughter Rule.
Call the local offices of Congresscritters. They are still answering the phone.
Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Rules Committee, indicated yesterday that he was resigned to letting congressional Democrats make the Senate health-care bill the law of the land without ever holding a vote on it in the House of Representatives by passing a rule governing debate on another bill, the budget reconciliation, that "deems" the health care bill as passed.

Something like the “Slaughter Rule” should not be an available option for Congress.
looks like someone got their hands around his neck.
He had better do more than “Everything I Can”.

Dreirer is a fraud who caught hell yesterday for his RINO defeatism!
I would wager that Dreier caught big time hell for yesterdays comment. People are very angry, I have not seen anything like this in my life. If the idiots pass the bill, especially via the slaughter rule, all hell is going to break loose.
I was going to search for that.
This is the same fool who had already jumped ship and surrendered.
Now he's going to "do everything he can"?
Pffft.
Let them use the Slaughter Solution. The Slaughter will be in November.
CNS’s coverage yesterday was awful....he wasn’t saying anything like that to other news organizations.
Looks like they just caught up to what he really was saying today.
Absolutely correct! He is a fraud and Rino that needs to go because he is part of the problem and not the solution.
Interesting....thanks.
Not good enough. While this is better than his incredibly stupid remarks yesterday, the term "outrageous" tells the voters nothing substantial about why it's wrong. It just sounds like more partisan bickering.
What these cowards need to say is that it's unconstitutional, and therefore illegal. They need to stress that Pelosi and the Dems are violating the law.
I emailed Dreier, my Congressman (Price- GA), and Dennis Kucinich. I told Kucinich that he has blood on his hands.
