“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.

You're correct. Another point as well that I just picked up on in an article in the Wall Street Journal today: Congressional redistricting happens in 2011 - which means that, with the DEEM-ocrats having conveniently committed mass political suicide, whether or not this travesty of a farce of a bill passes, the DEEM-ocrats have just handed the redistricting process to the Republicans (or, to be more pragmatic, they've just thrown away any control they might have had over the process), which means that in addition to stomping on shitty little DEEM-ocrat heads in November, we'll get to control the redistricting process to reduce the chances of DEEM-ocrats getting to control Congress again significantly for a long, long time to come. By committing political suicide and giving us more control over the redistricting process, they have made it more rather than less likely that we will be able to muster enough votes to repeal Obastardcare just in case the fascists do manage to corrupt enough of their rank-n-file to fist-fcuk it through the House on Sunday. In other words, their little display of their true nature - abusive, power-mad fascists - will be a gift that keeps on giving long, long after the 2010 elections are history.
