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."

Why yes, Nancy. I think your turn is coming..
Cantor says they do not have the votes!! The dims are going to do everything in their power to put a fake vote on this deal and say it passed. They hid behind untruths!
One name not included on the list was Congressman John Hall (NY). I thought he was a shoo-in but having received an e-mail from David Plouffe asking 124 voters call Hall before the end of the day I suspect Rush’s forecast that at least 40 have not yet committed might hold some weight. Hall’s office said he hasn’t decided and is reading the bill now. Perhaps it’s BS but I urged he realize voting for reconciliation is a vote for the Senate Bill and it will immediately become law prior to reconciliation!
“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.”
Holy cow - what are they thinking? Her approval rating nationally is about 10% or less!
“but having received an e-mail from David Plouffe asking”
I get those stupid emails too...I think they’ve got everyone’s email...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
I join in urgent prayer for our country.
Bump!
AMEN! AMEN! THX MUCH.
Will the cable news nets will carry this vote live as it happens or only report the tally?
Agreed, AMEN, and let it be so!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
YEA! THANKS THANKS.
They still have to vote on a "deem and pass" measure (if not, it's not constitutional and not the law, signature or not).
What they tried to do with the "deem and pass" thing was to confuse the sheeple with labels. But it backfired, so now any 'critter who votes for the "deem and pass" shall be deemed to have voted for the bill!
WTF‽ Zero's as white as he is black. And, as for the illegals, they're much whiter than Zero.
She rolled to yes...price was right.
Amen.
Please let this be so
That worked splendidly for President Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Thanks for praying in agreement.
Heaven alone will tell the works wrought by prayer.
Without prayer, nothing good nor lasting is accomplished.
