[jern]

Just had the 218th vote, which is what they need to psas th ebill

[PhiKapMom]

Judd Gregg is not running for reelection in NH either — just put up a list of all seats that are up. That NY Senate seat is up as well.

[bustinchops]

He has a point. THAT country would have never elected these people in the first place. They would have been hospitalized in mental wards or swilling Ripple out of a paper bag on Skid Row.

[goldstategop]

Freedom will never die. We lost a battle but in matters small and large we will never yield. Not on principle and we remain steadfast in our convictions. Keep the faith!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus

[LachlanMinnesota]

Was there a reason to vote yes for Cao so that he had the standing to move for a reconsideration of the vote?

I have heard that if you vote no, you cannot ask for it to be reconsidered. If he waited until he knoew his vote did not matter, was he ddoing this as a strategic move?

Did Jindal ask him to do this for that purpose?

[little jeremiah]

Yes. Defeatism and oh-no-ism just sucks the energy out of the fight.

Giving up when there is still breath left in the body is cowardice.

[Hildy]

OK, one day to vent, one day to whine...Then it’s back to work on Monday and we will get rid of every single one of these traitors. We need to keep our spirits up...we will prevail..WE HAVE TO...we owe it to ever man and woman who has given their lives for this country.

[Steve_Stifler]

My proctologist is . . . . It’s too easy.

[bustinchops]

Here’s the vote again for those who missed it at #327.

[PsyOps]

PGP is your friend

[PhiKapMom]

Vote in the Senate is unlikely before January as Reid and two others don’t have it on paper yet. They threw out the Baucus bill because Baucus refused to put in a public option.

Dr. Coburn is planning to read every page of the bill with help. In fact, the Dems are already attacking his plan by calling him Dr. No which is a badge here in Oklahoma.

[Tzimisce]

WTF?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

*** THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[bigoil]

And you believe her?

[RedMonqey]

I think the election of the pro Obamacare, Bill Owens in NY-23 on Nov. 3rd tipped the vote to get it passed.

I seriously doubt it. The Dims had a seventy set spread over the Republicans. All they had to do is get another Blue Dog to fall on the sword and vote for this monstrosity.

[goldstategop]

No. It needs to be stopped in the Senate. A new entitlement program will NEVER be repealed. That is the truth facing our country tonight. There no way the GOP will take health benefits away from Americans. I can see the handwriting on the wall. We must make sure Obamacare doesn't make it through the Senate.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus

[Cheerio]

We will prevail. We will takeover again this gov’t “for and by the people.”

I am not as positive as you are. We have a whole new couple of generations that have been brought up, and educated, to believe the Government is the answer to all their problems. FURTHER they have also been educated to understand how really nasty and bad CAPITALISM is - they will see this just as much as punishment for the evil insurance companies as they see it as a Government right to free health care.

It's over and if you want a scapegoat start looking at the entire education system in the USA to the top, AND the Media influence on all our lives.

[kaila]

I hope you are right.
I am a nurse, my husband an ortho surgeon.
If this bill passes, we will both have to face patients who will need procedures done, but will get denied.
At the same time, face endless amounts of government red tape. We will be working at slave wages.
Who needs this?

[LongElegantLegs]

Even if we didn't go as far as secession, if we only declared our sovereignty as a state, it would make a difference. I think like-minded people would flock here, tipping the balance ever more in our favor.

We could keep Austin as a sort of 'commie-natural preserve'...

[Cacique]

You’re wrong, we are faced with a disciplined Leninist party whose principle is democratic centralism and they will have the votes. They also know that even if we gain control of the house (which I doubt as the 2010 elections will be fixed) the president will veto any attempt at reversal. They can afford to allow some blue dogs vote against it but party discipline prevails. We are being played like violins by the left and taken for fools. The illusion of democracy with useless votes is before us to give us all false hope. That will prevent any violent reaction. We are being cooked like a lobster in low heat. Democracy died a long time ago and it started under RINO presidents who started on the path by making their socialist programs seem more palatable in comparison. By next year we will sell ourselves to the UN and the US as we have known it will cease to exist..

I often wonder if some of these people are just new to politics and slept through their government class or are dem plants to make us all look and behave stupidly.

Me too, such despondent drama queens all over this thread....sheesh, its almost like DU after Bush was re-elected. And dollars to doughnuts DUrs are gleefully observing all this.
