House Democrats On The Record: Passing The Senate Health Care Bill Not An Option
REPUBLICAN LEADER PRESS OFFICE ^ | January 20, 2010 | House Republican Leader John Boehner

Posted on 01/20/2010 8:45:30 AM PST by RightSideNews

Following the Democrats' stunning defeat in the Senate special election in Massachusetts yesterday, House Democrats are scrambling to figure out another way to force a costly government takeover of health care on the American people. The top House Democratic leaders seem comfortable with attempting to pass the Senate health care takeover bill in the House. However, numerous House Democratic members are already on the record saying the Senate bill is a nonstarter. Will they flip-flop now and bow to their leaders, who are intent on defying the will of the American people? Here's a sampling of what some House Democratic rank-and-file members said about the Senate bill prior to last night's developments in Massachusetts:

You’re about the fifth person whose made that same kind of comment about some kind of violent takeover by marshall law or by massive vote fraud by BHO and his administration. I think that kind of event is extremely unlikely because it would be such a high-risk, all-in gamble that would almost certainly fail in the end. And when it failed it would also destroy the democrat party forever. They would literally have to start a new party with a name like the progressive party, after a failed attempt at a revolution and a takeover through marshall law.

==Kamikaze Democrats or Suicide Bomber Democrats?==

A pundit on the radio stated what the Dems are trying to pull amounts to a 'Political Jonestown.

“Do ya’ll think I handled that well?”
“Yup. And while you’re correct that you won’t get through to him, you might make sense to some lurkers. I try to stay away from politics on facebook. But when they start I’ll jump in. More than once when I’ve made some great points, the whole thread just disappears... poof!”

OMGosh! I went back to check fb and the whole thread disapeared!!!! LOL. He did send me a private note apologizing for saying I wasn’t campassionate and that he wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes to help people in need...I told him he was free to do so, but I don’t like being forced to be generous, and the government should never have a say over what I want to do with my hard earned money. Haven’t heard back from him yet.

The one phrase I use when I post on the local paper’s comments is... ‘if this health care bill is so grand why doesn’t it include our congressman and his family’...

I call anytime you go into a progressive website to combat their views as “missionary” work. It’s not easy, but effective!!!! We need to do it more and just as passionate.

Can someone please explain your opinion on the logic the Dummies are using right now because I can’t think of an explanation that makes sense.

Obama, the people who ran him for president, his inner circle, his czars, Pelosi, Reid, and a few others we probably don't even know about are the true believers. They are going for broke on this thing and any means will be used to justify their ends. The good news for all of us is that not every democrat in the House and Senate are true believers of that ilk. They are waking to the fact that they will lose their jobs and would love to drop the health care grail. The desperation of the true believers is what is dangerous. I would love to be able to eavesdrop on the infighting at the DNC.

I hear a lot of what ifs and what we’ll do to get Repubs to pick up seats in the election...big deal.

We need to now get these things stopped!

1. 51 votes in the Senate will be tried by Obama.
2. Executive order will be tried.
3. Repackaging will be tried with the health care bill

These three items will be tried or some combination.

It’s time to stop talking about Brown and focus before the left hook knocks us out.

Please, let’s start ideas on these...what’s our side saying to the MSM on these three items?
