Are there enough PATRIOTS left in the Democratic Party to stop this nightmare?

[Hans]

Would that such a Democrat lived.

[GoCards]

Really Really good question! Sometimes I think Clinton finally is going to help but........crickets

[bilhosty]

So many of them are coming off of the fence now apparently because no one wants to be the Margolies-Mezvinsky who is the decideing vote. That is a sign that there wil be no hero vote.

I don’t know who it will be, but if it could be true we should promise as a country to celebrate and support him/her like we Scott Brown in MA. We should be promising them reward for taking the stand, to offset their financial loss when they lose their base. Across the nation, 3/4 Americans sending $10 to the one who stands up... can you imagine??

I’ve had similar thoughts...hoping that one or more patriotic Dems will have that “Come to Jesus” moment just before they cast their vote, and say, “you know what, I just can’t do this”.

It happens in the movies. But when have we seen such courage in real life?

Now this is real crazy talk, but I’ve even thought Obama himself could just come out and say “Look, I want a win, but not this way - let’s start over”. His personal popularity would probably jump to 80% if he did this, but even in my wildest dreams I cannot see him actually doing it.

No. WE are witnessing mass psychosis in our government. NPD plus. I guess there were people in 1930’s Germany who wondered WTH would stop Hitler, too. Then one day they woke up and found out he invaded Poland. But after all, he was only doing what he thought was the best thing for his nation. So did Stalin. So Did Mao. So did Saddam Hussein. With plenty of supporters.

And too damn few “republican patriots”, too, who let it get this far in the interest of reaching across the aisle and being part of a gentleman's club

One hopes. For that reason, serious consideration should be given to granting amnesty in the Fall elections to any person who prefers to be a democrat and not a DEEM-ocrat, and who is not otherwise a raving, flaming hard-core leftist. Rep. Altmire from PA comes to mind - he has, in general, been to the right of the DEEM-ocrats, and now that he has pledged to vote "no" on this abomination, he should be given some consideration.

No doubt this will be a particularly unpopular opinion - and I can full-well understand that, I have several times wished to grab a baseball bat and go looking for any DEEM-ocrat I could lay my hands on - nonetheless, even with our anger and motivation, our resources for this Fall are not unlimited, and the enemy will have the resources of the world's most heinous individuals, such as George Soros, at its disposal, so it would be wise to reserve as many of our resources as possible to defeat the true fascists in the Congress, the hard-core leftists/liberals who would rather kill off this country than vote against Obastardcare.

It won’t be any one person, but the most credit is probably due to the Stupak bloc. Hopefully, this will be a redemptive moment for them if they hold together as if they didn’t come up with that amendment in the first place before the House bill was passed and just plain voted no on the House bill, the whole thing would have been dead or at least back to the drawing board months ago.

They enabled Pelosi and the Senate Democrats and then got thrown under the bus.

[chooseascreennamepat]

There should be one, just one honest lib!

[the Real fifi]

Looks like it might be Stupak

[stevem]

If it’s as close as they say then they are all heroes.

[The Citizen Soldier]

Hero Democrat - obvious oxymoron.

[tx_eggman]

In my perfect world there would be 3 or 4 dims that banded together and told Bambi that they're Yes votes ... then, when the voting starts, they stand up one at a time and say ...

"Since the President and his minions have been consistently lying to the American people about their aganda and the intent of this bill I decided I'd do a little lying myself ... Madame Speaker, I vote NO

OK, now that that's out of my system, I'll get back on my meds.

[Gator113]

I don’t think there is a patriot within the dem party, traitors all.

But if they prove me wrong, I will support the ones with courage until the sun burns out.

[deadrock]

No honor among thieves.
