"A couple updates on the whip count:
• Dennis Cardoza seemed to say in the House Rules Committee that he would oppose the effort to “deem and pass” the bill with one vote:
Cardoza, a previously undecided lawmaker who’d voted to pass Democrats’ healthcare bill in November, said he would vote against the process his party plans to move forward on healthcare.
“I don’t believe it’s smart of us to pass a bill this momentous with a deemed rule,” Cardoza said in a Rules Committee markup. “I want to make the announcement in the committee right now that I don’t support that, and won’t support a rule that does it that way.”"

They just said on FOX that the Democrats think they have enough votes for a straight vote on the Senate bill, thus making deem and pass unnecessary.
Sneaker Pelosi STILL does not have the sure backing she once thought she did. “Blue Dog” Democrats find themsleves in a bind, subject to the scorn and ire of Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetoro, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, supposedly the son of an out-of-control teenager and a Kenyan exchange student, if they should vote “No”, and subject to even greater scorn and ire from the swing voters in their home districts, if they vote “Yes”. This means there may be as many as three candidates in the Democrat primary in their home district: the incumbent, the challenger chosen from the SEIU ranks (the Obama stalking horse), and the representative of the enraged and estranged regular non-SEIU Democrats, other “blue dogs” disgusted with the performance of this one.
Or the incumbent may drop out altogether, after registering a “Present” vote.
Some potatoes are extremely hot.
Yep and FOX keeps flashing that 217 are Year now (needs 216 to pass).
Stupak may get his language after all.
LOL, alloysteel. LOL. I especially like the reference to Mr. Michelle(Fat Ass) Robinson. As for the white mother of the sock puppet, I have saved in my hot little computer file entitled “Soetoro Porn”, past preserved nude pictures of the Kenyan’s Mama under her Christmas tree. No photoshopping. Am wondering if the Boy Muslim was the photog.
“Merry Christmas Honey!”
