WASHINGTON The White House called for a "simple up-or-down" vote on health care legislation today as Speaker Nancy Pelosi appealed to House Democrats to get behind President Barack Obama's chief domestic priority even it if threatens their political careers.

Republicans unanimously oppose the Democratic proposals. Without GOP support, Obama's only chance of emerging with a policy and political victory is to bypass the bipartisanship he promoted during his televised seven-hour health care summit Thursday.

They’ll vote for it. They are just bargaining to make sure they have jobs, somewhere, in 2011.

I’m all for these A-holes voting for it. We can then clean house (litterally) in 2010. It’s a sure death for their career and their agenda. They are acting like cornered rats, either do or die!

Wish I was smart enough to post pictures.
This so much reminds me of one floating around the Internet right now. Some liberal twit is holding a poster that reads, “Save the planet, kill yourself.”
The caption below is, “You first”
Perfectly appropriate for this situation!

Pelosi to Dems: Support health bill, even if it kills career because in the end we will have forces socialism on America so we win anyway.
