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."

Best analyst in the business. And the worst prognosticator.
Fortunately, this isn’t a prediction. It’s what he’s hearing. And his sources are top-notch.
This will get passed...you are dreaming if you think it won’t.
The Communists in this country are ALL IN now...they will get this passed one way or another.
They will create a massive crisis this fall that will somehow subvert the election process...
The days of peaceful demonstrations are coming to a close - you better be prepared.
You have ALL 178 Republicans AGAINST Obamacare.
You have 37 Firm ‘No’ Democrats AGAINST Obamacare.
The ‘NO’ votes are at 215. Obamacare is on the precipice of defeat 48 hours before the ‘Final’ vote.
There are 45 ‘UNDECIDED’ votes. San Fran Nan has to win ALL 45 of the ‘UNDECIDED’ votes without ANY defections to ‘NO’.
San Fran Nan pulls 10 votes; the other 35 vote to kill Obamacare. FINAL SCORE: 250 ‘NAY’ 179 ‘AYE’ 2 Abstentions.
Obamacare is DEFEATED......Film at 11.
Kirk: ‘Bones perhaps we could just get all 45 ‘Undecided’ votes to vote ‘Yes’ on Obamacare?’
BONES: ‘I’M A DOCTOR NOT A MIRACLE WORKER!!’ [with emotion]
Kirk: ‘Then perhaps we could....
BONES: ‘It’s dead Jim’.
Boccieri is announcing his “yes” vote this morning at a press conference. This thing is a lock to pass.
They are illegal. They are aliens. They ought not to be covered by programs intended for U.S. citizens, because they are ineligible, and the provision of services for ineligible persons constitutes fraud.
And one can be against fraud in all cases, and still refrain from calling fraudulent beneficiaries "vermin."
If they need medical services, let them be covered by voluntary charitable programs, which will come to their assistance as human beings (not U.S. citizens, but also not vermin), and to which I will voluntarily (by the law of Christ, and not via government mandate) contribute.
Hah! He’s at George Mason Univ...
Now Boehner’s up...I wish he’d let Ryan speak.
I’ve never been more ready for Rush.
Boccieri was a “lean yes” in Firedoglake’s tally all along. The leftists are trying to manufacture momentum. You’re helping them.
Welcome to FR.
I pray you are right.
I just got through to my libturd’s office in Washington DC, demoRAT Tim Walz, MN-1 dimwit. I ripped into the receptionist as she was reading the canned talking points, and then said Walz needed to vote against it, and called him a rat bastard traitor. Enough civility with these bastards. It doesn’t work anyway.
“The president was courteous and generous with his time,” said Lynch, noting a White House aide explained how various changes made the bill attractive. “The president asked me if there was anything he could do that I should tell him, and I told him, ‘I have been over this bill and I still wasn’t satisfied.’ ”
Good for Lynch! He didn't fall for the not-quite-obvious way that Obama was effectively asking him [Lynch] - in the Chicago way - how he could be bribed!!!!!!
I agree. The instigators in our government and the complicit MEDIA are purposely making illegals (and big business) the bogeyman to keep our focus on the wrong things. The illegals are not the problem, our government that is ALLOWING it to happen is the problem. It’s not the poor border-crashers - it’s our own government.
Thank you.
Just wait until San Fran Nan has one of her blood vessels in one of her eyes POP.
I’ve seen it happen before to someone ‘under stress’.
It aint purty.
“I don’t buy it. Why would they let it be defeated if this would mean “the end” of Obama’s presidency and Pelosi’s speakership? Nah, if they don’t have the votes this thing is going get punted downfield again.”
it’s like this - you have about 20 Democrats who want to vote ‘no’ but want it to pass. ... they are ‘undecided’.
Pelosi needs 12 of them to say yes.
They dont have the votes, but forcing the vote will get Pelosi/Obama to squeeze them....
Fear for our nation. Pray for our nation.
Well, since your suggestion doesn’t have the remotest possibility of happening, our discussion here is purely hypothetical anyway.
But hypothetically, have you considered what other horrible votes the donks-turned-pubs would cast on other detestable issues? Plus then, you have issues at election time, who to run against these turncoats.
And are we so happy to celebrate that we’d have disingenuous self-serving turncoats as members of our party?
And no, nobody wants this bill kill any more than me. Bit let’s be careful what we wish for.....even hypothetically.
He misspoke, this is what he SHOULD have said:
“This is Medicare and Medicaid on crack”
- Barack Obama, 19 March, 2010
Lots of Deems still don't want a "self executing" snake bite.
She is so TOTALLY the Red Queen. Demme should have used her as the model in his movie.
I can't speak for Jesus, but apparently he was in favor of people paying their taxes, NOT SUCKING OFF A HOST, which is what the illegals do!!!
Anyone who illegal enters and squats in any country is still an illegal - they are knowingly engaging in illegal activity. They AND the trash that promote the illegal activity (employers and do-nothing politicians) are all vermin, and in the case of the employers and politicians, treasonous vermin, all of whom need to be dealt with very harshly.
Charity begins at home - take care of the AMERICANS that are in need. And there is no way that “voluntary charitable programs” can handle public health epidemics such as leprosy, which the illegals bring into the USA, legally or otherwise.
Bottom line: You want to come to the USA, do it legally.
