Not gonna bless stupak. He knew from the gitgo the abortion language would be kicked out by the senate, but he voted for this monster anyway. Remember, it only passed by ONE vote. If any of these pr!cks were serious about anything, we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with. A pox on ALL of them!
By the way. My GOD rule was in effect today. It goes like this.
If you try to do something and something totally unforeseen happens out of the blue, that is strike one.
If you figure out a way to solve that problem and something totally unforeseen happens again, pay attention. Someone is trying to tell you something.
If you figure out how to solve the second problem and something unforseen happens yet again, it’s GOD saying, “NOPE!”
And I pay attention to that because every single time I have gone ahead afer the third warning, there has been trouble up the wazoo.
That is when I turned us around and headed home.
Hatch to House Dems: If you believe we’ll pass your reconciliation bill as written …

Not only does the most gentlemanly of Senators blast his lower-chamber colleagues for their belief that reconciliation will sail through the upper chamber unchanged, Orrin Hatch warns Senate Democrats that an attempt to push it through will mean “war.” If they believe Republicans will just sit back and allow Democrats to run roughshod over the minority, they will find themselves in a battle they’ll regret “for the rest of their lives”:
Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are “nuts” to think tomorrow’s vote on health-care legislation will resolve the issue.
If the measure passes, Senate Republicans have enough votes on at least two points of order to alter the measure and send it back to the House for a second round of votes, Hatch said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend.
“If those people think they’re only going to vote on this once, they’re nuts,” Hatch said as House Democratic leaders rounded up support before the scheduled vote on President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
The senator from Utah also said the approach Democrats are using to pass the legislation in the House may be unconstitutional because the House and Senate aren’t voting on “exactly the same language.”
I’ve interviewed Hatch a few times, and this is about as harsh as he ever gets. He generally likes to work towards consensus, not confrontation; fire and brimstone aren’t part of his nature. So when Hatch says this, it means something:

Glad you went home then. I have always followed my mom’s tenet, God is trying to tell you, if you listen, to divert to protect you from a worse fate
