Not the kind you're peddling, fool. That overwhelming majority is going to can your arse.

Hoyer: Not at 216 yet
Countering some of the "we've got it" optimism of several colleagues, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer seems to be saying that Democrats do not yet have the 216 votes they need to pass health care reform.
"We’re going to get those 216 votes because we believe that they understand that Americans want health care reform by an overwhelming majority," Hoyer said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
When host David Gregory asked Hoyer if he has the votes now, the Maryland Democrat said: "I think we’re going to have 216 when the roll is called, yes."
Gregory: "But not yet? You're not nailed down, a few behind?"
Hoyer: "There are still members looking at it, trying to make up their minds, we think 216 plus votes when we call the roll.
Socialize USA (not only medicine) by one “vote” err no ,rather one DEAL behind closed doors!
If you accept that freedom could crushed for a long while in the “West”...It will be times of tyrany, troubles and civil wars meanwhile islam is spreading its dark veil in many parts of the world....
That and the Birth Certificate.
Depending on your circumstances, you will have to (1) quit your job so they can't deduct it from your pay, or (2) opt-out of social security so they can't withhold it from your check.
Thanks CB :-)
I agree in theory, but this vote was put on track Friday under the assumption they would proceed with the slaughter rule, and that is now DOA.
We’ll see what happens, but they opened the door to a vote, and a vote they shall have...
Stupak and the pro-lifers will everntually get scr*wed. They are Democrats first. They use “pro-life” to get elected.
The baby killing 40-50 libe Dems will geta wink and a nod from Obama that the govt will pay for baby killing. If this passes then we are headed toward eastern European style communism/socialism. This would be a positive because I think it will be more like Zimbabwe communism.
Eastern Europe and the USSR were awful for babies with abortion. Romania was probably the worst. I doubt Stupak and his gang consider these things.
Stupak and his gang will probably be double crossed and will just rationalize it.
Gee we have people here defending McCain and we are where we are now (hell) in large part because McCain-Feingold. People will rationalize anything and the TV will help.
Where the F*** do they get this information? EVERY STINKIN’ POLL I’ve seen shows a MAJORITY against this bill.
F***ing morons.
I happen to believe the house leadership will approve of and allow
just as few of the house democrats to vote “NO” as possible but still
maintain enough “YES” votes to pass the bill, allowing the most vulnerable
of their members to point to their “NO” vote in the November elections.
I can't argue with that.
Possible, but I believe ALL dems that are not conservative will be voted out come November even if they vote “nay” on this commie bill.
Wow. That’s big.
Does this count Sanchez?
“That’s what Geraldine Ferraro (sp?) said on Fox...Pelosi would not call a vote unless she knew 100% that she had the votes.”
They’re all bravo, bravo right now, because that’s all they can be. They’re headed for a HUGE SMACKDOWN, and all they want to do is pass socialism. Can they get enough people to drink the Jim Jones kool-aid and commit suicide?
“The rats and their running dog media should burn for continuing to perpetuate this lie.”
They will burn, they will.
My wife and I were talking and we deemed that our taxes were already paid for this year and passed that into law!
Where do I go to legally challenge this as a common citizen?
I want to get this ball rolling now!
Would a class action law suit against the government work?
+++++++++++++++++++
I totally support this! I love this part: “My wife and I were talking and we deemed that our taxes were already paid for this year...”
Trying to socialize all of American medicine........
by ONE VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!
++++++++++++++
What do you mean? It’s a mandate, by an overwhelming majority of Americans. /huge, massive sarc
“Our local radio station reported via Fox News that they had 216 as well and that it was going to pass by 1 vote.”
Fox hasn’t been very accurate in the fray, this week.
“I’m not saying that we have a slam dunk by any means, but it is a new ballgame this morning kids, so I give it 60/40 odds this morning that Peloski will delay that vote rather than chance it being voted down all together. If this is killed in the House, that is the end of the ballgame for Premier Hussein and the Dhimmies this Fall. They have painted themselves into a corner on this and it serves them right that there is no safe way out.”
I sooo hope and pray that you are right.
Pray for this nation.
