Pelosi has the votes
The Politico ^ | November 7, 2009 | Ben Smith

Posted on 11/07/2009 6:23:21 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

POLITICO reports:

Hours before an expected vote on a sweeping health care bill, House Democrats believe they've secured the 218 votes they need to approve the bill, several party insiders said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor about 6:30 p.m. to say, “Today we will pass the Affordable Health Care for America Act.. . .We will make history. We will also make progress for America's working families."

Thirty-two Democrats have publicly declared their opposition to the bill, giving party leaders the narrowest possible margin to push the bill across the finish line. But numerous sources said Democrats believe they do have the votes after a day of intense lobbying of wavering Democrats.

I want all real Republicans to walk out, go home and stay there. Shut it down. They will have millions backing them. It’s time for real revolt. This is a coup.

Never mind. It’s a one-termer from Lousiana!

The NRCC had better demand that he pay back ALL FUNDS from his campaign by tomorrow!

The REVOLUTION just got more steam! These idiots do not know what they have dome to themselves! This will end the DimoRAT Party as we know it! Thank God!

And this Bill will never see the light of day in the Senate anyway. Congrats on destroying the future of your Party for NOTHING M****R F****RS (my mother will not be happy with my language tonight)!

There is a funny part to this. The stupid Dems think they want this bill. They just want to win. I can assure you when they begin to get hit with taxes and realize what it’s going to cost them, they will go ape sh*t. I hope that all people against this bill revolt and refuse to participate or pay a dime. They can’t arrest millions. Hell they wouldn’t arrest thousands. They wanted it, it’s their baby. Screw ‘em. We pay nothing, they pay for all of it.

Freedom has not died.

We will pray, we will protest and we will pester our Senators.

As long as we are fighting there is always a way.

Our voices will get louder and louder and we will drown out this tyranny.

The American people do not want this.
There is evil and cruelty and selfishness and punishment
in this bill. It will not EVER become law.

Problem is , once this is vote in it stays in. No one has even undone a government give away once it has been installed.

I call for civil unrest !
Anyone agree?

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”

- Samuel Adams
