Latest Fox estimate on OmabaCare
Fox News Channel | 3/20/10

Posted on 03/20/2010 10:13:49 AM PDT by pabianice

Fox has it passing 217-214 as of this afternoon if all "undecideds" vote as they did in November. Dems have dumped the Stupak crew off the fantail and picked-up pro-abortion Dems in return. Obama now working to increase the win margin. Bummer.

I don’t believe Fox News any more I couldn’t listen to Cavuto this afternoon it sounded like was for Obamas HC.

Do you think they were celebratory and gloating about the actual victory for the Socialists or just wanting to be the first to report the count at 216? If this bill is defeated, I will never forgive them for what they have put us through these past two days, all in the name of ratings.
I’ve written to Roger Ailes, telling him how rotten their coverage has been. You would think we were watching reruns of SNL or MSNBC.

I think you all need to realize that no matter what happens tomorrow, this thing is far from over. Really, the whole issue goes to the Senate parliamentarian as the senate needs to approve the reconciliation bill. There is a bunch of crap in here that doesn’t have anything to do with the budget. At that point it’s kicked back to the House. Sit back and take a deep breath.

Thank you for a good laugh. Do you REALLY think the Senate parlaimentarian will do anything to stop this? Or that Biden would back him up if he ruled the wrong way? I MUST get a case of what you've been drinking.

I saw the clip with Voight asking to pan the crowd. The camera took in two faces and went back to Brian W. WTF?

I appreciated Jon Voight asking the camera to show the crowd - I was so eager to see the crowd and to hear the speeches....but instead - Fox decided we needed to hear their "professionals" drone on and on...

Anyway - the reason the camera stopped panning was because Cavuto said "Whoa... we're losing control here...." How is showing the crowd "losing control"? I am still mad about this and it happened hours ago!!

Oh my gosh... completely. You're a better person than I, I haven't written... yet... I'm too mad. (I have been calling CD8's Pelosi-Bot's office the last few days though....)

I don't know about their glee v. ratings.... I'm a first-generation (and it looks like last) American whose parents escaped from the Russian Communists. So although I've happily watched FOX for quite a few years now, have been getting more and more disturbed by signs I've seen (the never-ending parade of RINOs, just for one example) and I'm having a hard time trusting or believing that they're not in the Communist camp right now. Even Greta, who I know was originally a liberal but then had (imo) fair coverage last summer of SP and others, seemed to be giddy yesterday...

Greta, from my home state of Wisconsin, is a Democrat. But she seems to be more centrist of late. She is certainly not as bad as the lefties like Geraldo, Juan Williams(I can’t stand to even look at him anymore), Shep, and Kirsten Powers.
I am sick and tired of this “fair and balanced” c**p that the station seems hell bent on being known for. Rush and Levin are our only real sanctuaries.

Definitely. I’m seeing a bunch of other posters on other threads today saying similar things too!

We need an actual conservative/independent/libertarian/non-Communist television channel it appears, now that most of FOX has truly gone to the dark side.....

I can’t stand the ones you listed (Shep, ewwwwwwww) and have switched off for years when they came on.... I find myself watching Headline CNN now in the morning at the gym, if anything.

I don’t really get to listen to Rush or Levin -— I’ve heard Levin saying good things lately (that my husband will tell me about, because he has a job where he can listen to the radio during the day). The only time I feel sane lately is at our tea parties. I even tried to get a ticket to fly to DC for today’s event, but everything was sold out (sorry if I already mentioned that earlier, I might be a broken record, shell-shocked today).

Hi BQ: Staying close to hardline Conservatives and intelligent voices of reason and authority is the only way.
Levin gets worked up but he is a brilliant Constitutionalist.
Rush is our leader: How Rush’s mood goes should our moods follow..and so far, he’s excited but not panicked.
Laura Ingraham in the morning: funny, good laughs.
You can get any of these shows on your computer(and listen whenever you want to) if you have one. Subscribe to Rush 24/7 and Ingraham 365. It’ll be well worth the investment and on the Internet, you don’t have to listen to the ads. Rush has parodies on instead which are hilarious.
We have to stick together and share coping strategeries in the midst of this craziness.
