Senator DeMint just outed the entire Senate Reconcilation Stories as a Huge Head fake. the Senate has no plan to reconcile anything . The plan is just get the Senate version thru the House and have the marxist sign it !

Yes..that’s how I understand this...if house passes They can shoot it to Bo for his signiture..no reconciliation needed. It does seem Pelosi and Reid have been giving a false promise they will make necessary changes thru reconciliation...a smoke screen...so if it passes house they will take it to BO.

Alert: Obama meeting with House at 1:30 today...!!!

Since when have they paid any attention to the Constitution?

I agree completely, but it seems to me they set themselves up for a court challenge to their stupid law, signed by a president who calls himself a professor of constitutional law.

He’s consistent, has a great disposition, and doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously.

I'm so proud of Jim DeMint. What a setta cojones!

Go read the transcript. Excerpt:

... this really is a bad bill, Greta, and we need to get on to doing some things that are step-by-step that make our system better. The president has not been willing to listen to it. He wants a big FDR-type health care takeover, and I hope the Democrats in the House won't give it to him.

  
Jim
DeMint
Ping!

“signed by a president who calls himself a professor of constitutional law. “

Obama even lied about THAT. He has never been a “professor” anywhere. He was an “instructor” not even an assistant professor.

In reality it comes down to this. The Dems who put their political careers on the line and vote yes still have to return home after this vote. Many will continue to live in the area and state they currently “serve”.

Knowing the rage American’s have on both sides of the aisle over this bill and the processes behind it; how many of them will literally be scared to vote yes.

Will they fear the wrath of their neighbors an former constituents more so then what Obama, Pelosi and Reid dish out?

Pelosi is half right - it will take guts to vote for this bill; it will take some real balls to go home after.

Rush was telling same MO. . .they don't need reconciliation - only Obama's signature(!) an if Dems cooperate. . .

Can only say 'arise folks' and be heard. Repub Leadership better be clanging the Liberty bell - now!

This circumvention of every 'checks/balance' mechanism cannot stand! Not to mention the bribery hand in hand with a Treason!

Conservative Republicans need to purchase air time on all four nets, cable, etc. to explain what’s going on here.

. . .and write your stations including Fox News; letting them know; 'you know' and it needs to be shared by more.

A bad feeling? Indeed. Have always said; by 'hook or by crook'.

We all know that these people have NO boundaries; we can assume nothing. . .would add that this could include a great deal, like future elections.

We can only try to stop them and we must succeed.

Yes; always amazed that when questioned; vagueries were numerous - why, 'no one had read it' (including Obama); the Media never asked the question; 'if no one has read it'; where the heck did it come from. . .' and yes, so quickly off the press.

Yes, on the intimations and background; thanks to 'blogdom'. . .Hoped a decent American might be hiding somewhere in this vile 'nest' of commie perps; useful idiots and the like; and would come forward and expose Obama for all he is worth; but I 'fear not' at this point.

Of course, we knew; and continue to learn more. . .just not the same as the 'fly on the wall' taking it public, big time.

Have to say; despite my frsrations with Glenn Beck; he has been sharing a great deal with 'many' who otherwise; have not a clue as to Obama is. That is a great thing. . .(just wish he would include Libertarians on his poop list of political Parties; along with Demrats and evil Repubs!) And a few other things as well.

I expect him to be overridden by Biden. Then, Republicans can paint Biden as obstructionist and we can use it as a “talking point” in a fundraiser.

You must look at the macro picture and how much this can benefit Republicans
