I was thinking of offering a vote for auction.

His governor who is a Democrat is not happy with him either. He will be squeezed:

I read this on Gateway Pundit so I am guessing he does now.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing Obama and dems will not do

Well, doesn’t this also catapult them out of the House, sparing them from an embarrassing whipping in November?

The dominoes are falling. We’ve seen yes’s go to no’s, and no’s go to yes’s today.

I still think that despite the corruption and arm twisting, its a 50-50 chance either way of passing or failing.

There is another TN-D who is being promised NATO Ambassadorship for a yes vote; via Instapundit;
There’s also a rumor that another retiring Tennessee Rep., John Tanner, has been promised a job as Ambassador to NATO.

I hope that there are patriotic Americans already working on ways to repeal any bill passed by these criminals. The democrats cannot be trusted to vote for what's in the best interests of the American people. They will destroy our medical system and our country so their fraudulent usurper could save face. We need to take drastic action if they succeed in pulling off this despicable crime.

Bowtie Bart has been a leftie at least since his college days. Now that he’s retiring, he doesn’t have to worry about what the voters think, he can go into hiding and collect his comfortable House retirement and enjoy his special congressional healthcare privileges while we deal with Obummer DeathCare.

This is no surprise.

However, I will be surprised if John Tanner, another TN Dim congressman who’s retiring, votes for it. (Unless they buy him off with a plum assignment for his golden years.)

There ought to be ways to kick their @$$es even before November. Their (political) lives should be made into living hells if they push Bummercare over the goal line.

"Sold his soul for NATO; NATO ambassadorship to be more exact."

He thinks he's getting a NATO Ambassadorship. Tom Coburn made it crystal clear earlier today when he said that the GOP would hold ANY administration appointment given to people who vote yes on this bill.

Remember, under the rules of the Senate, a single Senator can hold a single appointment, forever.

Calm people, calm. Kucinich and Bart are two no to yes. If Stupak can bring even a couple of his folks along, that makes up the difference. Acuri is one yes to no, Stupak is another. Berry, Carney, Costello, Donnelley, Driehaus, Lipinski, Lynch are other’s who are leaning no from their previous yes. If those 7 stay with their current no, it will be impossible for Pelosi to buy off enough people who voted no the first time.

I thought the ONE was closing NASA down? Gee, I sure hope he doesn’t pull up with his box of office stuff, and find the door locked.

Also defund... a GOP controlled House (the Senate will probably require another cycle) can simply refuse to affirm any bill containing subsequent year funding for Bummercare.

Yes but they will get an embarrassing whipping when their nominations come up for approval, along with the administration.

With syphilis, you end up going insane. Of course this step can be skipped with Rats because they’re already insane.
