DeMint Just outed the Entire Senate Reconcilation Threat as a Head Fake

In the Record with Greta | 3-3-2010 | vanity

[MrDem]

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THEY ARE BLUFFING!

Yep, I always watch Greta and usually the replay. Here's the video for everyone to see. Jim DeMint has been a real hero all along. Recall that he stopped the conferee's, which is why the House is stuck passing the senate version without any changes.

Please heed Senator DeMint's words. Call the House members!

I'll post a list right after this posting.

BUMP!

[Prince of Space]

So are we supposed to call the above list even if they're not our representatives? I called mine yesterday (Harry Mitchell - AKA sniveling little worm) and the aide needed to locate me in the database before she would take my comments. Now that's a new procedure for his office, so I'm wondering how we get around that.

Exactly correct-the issue is getting the House to vote for the Senate version, after that the Reconciliation Bill is meaningless.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, the pro-abortionists would not allow anti-abortion language in the Bill.

The Reconciliation Bill is simply a smoke screen to take the focus off the real issue, the House vote.

[fortheDeclaration]

Amen!

The battle is in the House, not the Senate.

[fortheDeclaration]

But if Pelosi gets the house votes, even if they don’t o reconciliation, and it passes can’t they take it to Bo for signiture and it’s law then?

Yes.

The Reconciliation Bill is meaningless.

[who knows what evil?]

Defeat ALL Democrats in November; from Animal Control right up through Congress. ALL of them. Plenty of pubbies can go, as well...

[Roccus]

However, I expect Senate Parliamentarian, Alan Frumin to do his part and follow the rules.

...at which point, Biden will override him.

[GatorGirl]

Constitution, schmonstitution.

That is a good question though!

[GatorGirl]

Ah but it is the camel’s nose under the tent. Once we’ve been softened up by government interference....it’s easy to say it didn’t work and must be completely socialized.

Incrementalism, my FRiend!

The House members can vote for it on the”certain knowledge” that there will be amendments made after the fact. Then they can have their cake and eat it, too. They can vote for it then tell their constituents they were betrayed when it doesn’t come back for the “Reconciliation.”

[arthurus]

If this is signed into law it won’t matter a whole lot to the country who is kicked out of Congress in November and who is in control. It’s about barn doors and horses and all that.

The Democrats are many things. All evil. Stupid is not one of them.Neither is obama stupid. Thye sooner that notion is dispelled by Conservatives, the better off they will be. Both obama and the Democrats are evil. Stupid is the voters that elect them.
