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."

Exactly, they thought they would be able to crush with their lying psychological warfare to make us defeated and make the other centrist Dems cave. We need to continue the pressure.
I think there are many Democrats congressmen in DC that are silently hoping this thing gets defeated.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PRAY!
I’m so glad all of the uninsured will be covered as of Monday Morning ! There lives will be so different!
Just think:
If they can
1. get the cancer to stop growing for years
2. pause the diabetes
3. take slow, deep breaths to lower blood pressures
4. they are not senior citizens
5. Can FIND a doctor
They can schedule an appointment with only a 6 month minimum waiting period.
I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.
“One source called it a “suicide run.”
Well, one way, or the other, it WILL be that.
Not buying it.
The Left is only a few votes away from a HUGE victory (in their book), if only they can sway those last few.
Thing is, those who are “undecided” by now are either
A: holding out for a bigger bribe, so they’re already planning to vote “yes”
B: wishy-washy enough that they can’t make a strong decision against the Chicago Politics machine which will destroy them if they don’t vote “yes”.
The few truly undecideds will be faced with powerful colleagues pulling “in your face” rhetoric & psychology _right_now_, while the angry constituents are mostly hundreds/thousands of miles away and will make their viable response in November.
Don’t underestimate the persuasiveness of “right here, right now, join us or suffer”.
The whole Connecticut delegation are a bunch of flaming socialists. I’ve called Larson’s D.C and Hartford offices several times.
Votes! The don’t need no steeeenking votes.
Me too!
I thought to myself - Yep you will cave and vote yes even if your constituents say NO!
I still bet he caves today!
Folded like a cheap camera with the sob stories brigade behind him.
Made the ridiculous statement if he could save 1 life it will be worth it. Probably saved his own life while voting for government paid millions of abortions.
I don’t buy it. Why would they let it be defeated if this would mean “the end” of Obama’s presidency and Pelosi’s speakership? Nah, if they don’t have the votes this thing is going get punted downfield again.”
We can hope for that punt. I have a bad feeling I’m going to have some indigestion on Monday though. Then, as others say, we’ll rage the battle right up in their grill. Plus court challenges, state challenges, etc.
We’ve not yet begun to fight these commie basTURDS.
Sorry you MORONIC criminals - you can’t just waltz in here and take our country from us.
They are counting on us to forget what the RATS have done.
How dare they circumvent the normal voting process?
How dare they vote for this anti-American bill on a Sunday of all days?
I sure hope all the American Legal Eagles will challenge what the dims are attempting to do.
"House Democrats — in collaboration with the White House — have plotted what appears to be the ultimate end-run around the Constitution of the United States....................."
Whatever she says is bogus...this thing will be wavering right up to the vote on Sunday.
I told my husband the very same thing the other night that if DM did not do something quick about his health he is going to have a stroke.
No! We do not need more libs in the republican party. We have enough, thank you very much.
Off With Their Heads!
Because they'll never get closer than this. They at least have a chance at passage even if every vote isn't set in stone beforehand.
If they back off now after all this climax they have ZERO chance ever again.
I think they won’t bring it to a vote, unless they have the votes needed to pass it.
Another article mentions there are 14-15 undecideds and they will get the 6 they need from those. Can you imagine the pressure being put on those?

She citing Catholic hospitials and the Sisters of Notre Dame, but she does NOT have the Catholic Bishops.
Now she's lying about the CBO numbers.
Bottom line: SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE VOTES!
“If Pelosi can’t name the 216 votes today, she’s done. And it will end up falling more than a handful of votes short.”
Then, like someone said, they may punt - AGAIN. But the longer this goes the better (even though SUPER annoying.)
Listen, before Brownie was elected, I thought they’d pass this crap sandwich by Jan. Their approval is in the total tank, plus they’re having to resort to bizarre tactics...
Even that is a sort of victory. We can challenge them in court and in the ballot box.
We WILL shut these marxist wannabes down.
LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY,
I PRAY that every Congress critter that votes for this anti-God and treasonous pile of stinking satanic global tyranny
will be removed by your mighty hand from public life in any capacity for the rest of their lives;
and that all their friends will be removed from public life for the next 25 years;
and that all their relatives will be removed from public life for the next 30 years;
and that any scandals against the public trust involving them, will be exposed and prosecuted horrifically ASAP.
I pray that 30-50 people who are planning to vote in behalf of this global tyranny will be prevented from appearing in the halls of Congress or voting any other way from 3 hours before the vote through to 3 hours after the vote . . . whether by traffic, horrific indigestion, devastating diarrhea, terminal fears, devastating depression, inexplicable terminal confusion, other physical incapacity, other mental incapacity, angelic forces . . . by whatever means fits your will and wisdom, oh Lord, God Almighty.
Cause them to fear the hand of God Almighty to their bone marrow.
Cause them to have horrific night terrors about the bill every hour or two of sleep.
May any others who feel so led, join in prayers of agreement accordingly as they see fit.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
