BULLETIN: DEMS DON'T HAVE THE VOTES

From a top level source in the House comes the news that the Democrats are still short of the 216 votes they need to pass Obamacare. They have decided, however, to go for broke on Sunday and attempt to pass it whether or not they have enough support. They feel that only by forcing a vote can the force members off the fence. They hope that by employing all means at their disposal, they can round up enough votes for passage. But, if they don't have the votes, they will allow the measure to be defeated. One source called it a "suicide run."

And if it fails? 200 is the new 216! Liberal accounting. Sc**w majority vote

[2nd Amendment]

Unfortunately, I agree with Bill O’reilly. The fix is in and has been in for quite some time. Remember they have limitless access to your tax dollars to bribe fellow democrats. Very soon, we will have to shift our strategy on how to deal with this monstrosity. Gibbs has said that if this “deem and pass” deal works they may use it on other major pieces of legislation. I’m tired of being used by frothing at the mouth egotistical “conservatives for money” American people we are in this alone. Do not trust anyone in any media.

Boccieri - D, Ohio on FOX now. Making his announcement.
Says he could lose his job.

He is voting YES.

[buschbaby]

I believe they have the votes and know it. They are just hiding it until the vote. This shields those who would be catching crap from taking heat until then. If it fails, don’t worry zero will just issue an executive order and ta-da, all is fixed.

[spectre]

Just one more vote needed.

This DemonRat monster is going to pass.

Then another vote will occur with some “tweaks” to the legislation.

They cannot tweak anything. They pass the Senate bill as it stands or not at all.

[onyx]

Yep and that wimp Boccieri was a NO last time.

Now he’s a YES.

[nina0113]

Get there, get anyone you can to come.

Are YOU coming?

[SmartInsight]

This isn’t a Dick Morris opinion or prediction — he claims to have information, and he is certainly well plugged in.

I guess we’ll see.

[spectre]

Oh, the Drama of it all.

[CharacterCounts]

There must be 4 or 5 "moderate" Democrats who are afraid to vote for the bill because they will lose in November and afraid to vote against the bill because the will not get any Dem support for the primary.

The solution would be for the Republican party to get them to switch and offer full support for both elections.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Absolutely. I’m leaving tonight.

[pburgh01]

That's right. As soon as "no" gets to 216, this becomes a rout.

I agree, I just don’t buy all the conspiracy theories that she has this well of 20 votes she can summon at anytime. She would have already. I think we have a case of the Dems looking at each other with suspicion. I think Pelosi thinks some of the members maybe trap dooring her, saying they lean one way to get the heat off them. She votes, it loses and then you are out of options, you cannot use this Slaughter strategery. I personally think most Democrats are Fabians not Marxists and the Fabians like Altimire, Boyd, etc. are horrified. I would love to be a fly on the wall in Pelosi's office right now, she must be having a stroke.

[TornadoAlley3]

Don't think so, not sure, Pelosi is to have a presser shortly, I suspect she will say she has the votes, may be a bluff to get us to surrender.

[onyx]

Dear God.

The drama is going to get worse.

Nancy is going to take to her podium.

It’s too early to pour a drink...lol.

[spectre]

I have a feeling Obama has assured the "scared" Democrats they have nothing to worry about and the people will come to love Big Brother before election time.

Idiots.

It would be awesome if he were to do that to quiet, peaceful protestors. Good time to go limp and allow yourself to be carried from the field. Good time to go down there just to honk your horn and tie up traffic. Good day to leave the kids at home, this time.

I will be attending my Republican Senate District convention tomorrow. I’m pretty sure we will be receiving updates from Washington. I pledge to vote to STOP ANY AND ALL RINO SHENANIGANS at every opportunity I am given.

I have never been an activist in politics before. But now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. And conservatives don’t need to note that that includes women too.

[ronniesgal]

I cannot figure out when Morris came over to the”dark” side, us!
I mean he worked for Bill and Hill but he seems not to like O too much!

[DTogo]

Just called Murphy's Danbury office, he is a "yes" vote, and I politely told the man on the phone I would do everything I can this fall to make sure both he and Murphy are unemployed!!

He responded in a friendly voice, "OK, well we'll see about that. Thank you sir."
