If this is true then she already has the votes she needs for passage of the bill.

If this is true then she already has the votes she needs for passage of the bill.

Or she has nothing to offer him that wouldn't lose votes on the pro abort side.

"If this is true then she already has the votes she needs for passage of the bill"

Huh? That may not be true at all. If she had the votes, she'd be shouting it from the rooftops of MSM outlets everywhere and locking down the Capitol to vote on it. JMHO

You don't know that.

[marstegreg]

I heard different. I understood that if she cuts a deal with Stupak, she loses 40 of so pro abortion dems. That would make a deal counter-productive.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Nope, she has been told to fall on her sword by Obama. He will pin this failure on her.

[NoobRep]

Not at all. Why even waste time with them? Nazi first wanted to try to get this with a straight vote. Since she can’t, she’ll go the Slaughter way.

[If this is true then she already has the votes she needs for passage of the bill.]

Or, it means she will lose more votes than she has to gain by allowing the Stupak amendment. Some pro-abortion Rat congresswomen were throwing a real hissy fit over this.

That's the problem with this kind of "inside baseball" info right now: it could either be good news or bad news.

I am still stunned at how much trouble the dems are having getting this thing through. On paper, this should be a slam-dunk.

I have been thinking that the election of O has done more for conservative/libertarian values and political activism by our side than anything in recent memory. If that sodden old fool McCain had been elected, he would be ramming the same stuff through. I am wondering if the best thing for con/lib values would be for this beast to pass with the maximum amount of chicanery.

It's time to force a crisis on our terms.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

No it doesn’t. She has been advised by the pro-abortion feminazi congresscritters that they have 40 votes ready to vote no if she attempts to remove abortion funding language. It’s easier for her to manage the 12 pro-life “no” votes than to hit the brakes and corral the 40 baby-killer votes that are threatening to go AWOL.

It’s simple math. She can’t please both masters, so she chose the easier path to passage.

[Red in Blue PA]

That’s exactly what I am afraid of!

Alternatively, she must cast him aside . He is running out the clock.

she must spend her time on somebody that actually might be bribed.
