BULLETIN: DEMS DON'T HAVE THE VOTES
Dick Morris ^ | March 19, 2010 | DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Posted on 03/19/2010 7:32:07 AM PDT by crescen7

From a top level source in the House comes the news that the Democrats are still short of the 216 votes they need to pass Obamacare. They have decided, however, to go for broke on Sunday and attempt to pass it whether or not they have enough support. They feel that only by forcing a vote can the force members off the fence. They hope that by employing all means at their disposal, they can round up enough votes for passage. But, if they don't have the votes, they will allow the measure to be defeated. One source called it a "suicide run."

“If they vote on the Senate Bill and it fails, then it would seem to me that even Deem ‘N Pass would be dead. No?”

That’s what I’m thinking too. They may be struggling to find the DEEM votes. Well shoot, all of America is now watching this self made debacle. They’re embarassing and they’re embarassing themselves. This is Alinsky in reverse and they’re parody, mockery of themselves.

I’m laughing at these FOOLS, but am also hoping for a victory for the American Patriots.

The thing I’ve found with Morris, he is a brilliant analyst. Comes up with angles I would never think of. Explains them clearly. Then comes up with astonishingly stupid conclusions.

I’m listening to him...with my jaw ON the floor. I SWEAR- if you didn’t know it’s 2010- you’d think you were back in 2007 and watching him campaign.

He’s LYING, LYING, LYING.

I agree with others - I don’t believe Nazi Pelozi lets this come to the floor for a vote then. But - that would be a victory for us also. The RATS are truly between a barock and a hard place. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

I'm kind of up in the air on this one. See, if they can't pass it right now, I don't know if they're ever going to be able to. Not in its current form, at least.

I've seen some pretty good analysis that says that Pelosi is also acting slightly delusional. In her mind, she believes she can get the votes if she applies enough pressure and throws around large enough bribes. Given that, it is quite likely that she is hard pressed enough to risk going to the vote on a bluff.

It's a perception game at this point. If she can convince the reluctant 'rats that she can make it pass, they're to going to want to buck the leadership. If they get convinced that it won't pass, they'll stampede to the exits.

The biggest gamble of all for Pelosi is whether or not any of her "yes" votes are lying to her.

What does this have to do with Dick’s perspicaciousness?

I can’t listen to him either.
That’s why I have him muted.

I am waiting for Savior Rush to start.

No. When we say don’t have the votes, we mean don’t have the votes for demon pass. I don’t know if the vote scheduled is an up or down on the senate-whores bill, or if it’s demon pass on the Slaughter’em rule. It’s almost better if they do slaughterhouse. It makes it just that much more illegitimate.

Let me tell you, when this is all over, the rats are going to be resentful for a LONG TIME. They are doing each other in. Notice no one has mentioned “reconciliation” in a while?

The house-whores are voting on a bill that could not pass the Senate today because of Scott Brown. They are voting on a bill that they are afraid to even vote on themselves. THis is a sham of illegitimatricy.

So you would rather have socialized medicine to keep the party pure?

We can worry about the party later... this thing need to be defeated today.

Plus, if this goes down, Obama may be neutered for the rest of his presidency.

I do not like rinos more than anyone else, but this is war, and in war you don't always get to be real picky about your allies.

"I haven't heard a word mentioning that Americans will suffer consequences--fined-- if we don't have insurance but illegals will still be treated free.

WHY haven't the Pubbies talked about that?"

I'll tell you why - because we're CONTROLLED by the PC machine...we need to get back to honest discourse in this country.

If Morris predicts one thing I pretty much count on the the opposite happening. It seems that most people here feel that way.

You shouldn’t have to be put in a scenario where your happy to be old (not that old is bad) because the government has been overrun with Communists.

The illegal alien problem should be the number one priority - it entails national security and economics.

The point at where things blow away to Hell is fast, fast approaching.
