IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 3/19/2010 | Ed Carson

Posted on 03/19/2010 7:22:40 PM PDT by Slyscribe

(D)espite the positive steps it takes, I must vote against this bill.

But some measures Teague was viewed as a lean no, by others undecided. The road to victory for Pelosi without an abortion deal is narrowing. The liberal FiredogLake.com now says Pelosi may have to run the table to win without the Stu-pack.

run the table = phrase typically used in sports meaning win every game left on the schedule.

In other words, Pelosi would need ALL the undecided votes that are left.

“”””What does “run the table” mean??””””

It means she has to step up the bribes. They might have to pass a second “stimulus “ bill before they can pass this CommieCare deal.

In pool, it means getting every shot.

“Run the table” is a billiards term.

It means you are behind and must “run the table” to win the game.

That would be too good to be true. Every step downward into the slime that these tyrants take is increasing the rage. Some of them will pay dearly for this abuse.

And step up the threats of ethics investigations.

Problem for Pelosi...all eyes are on the bribes as we count down.

This has been a very reliable tactic for Dems for decades...especially if they hail from SF and Chicago...but everyone's on to them and watching this time.

I”m fairly certain that the term originated in pool. If one sinks a ball, one is allowed another shot, and running the table involves sinking all one’s remaining balls without allowing one’s opponents any opportunities. If Pelosi allows her opponents any more opportunities, she looses—or so the term would have you believe.

Why do you think his dirty laundry was published... Get him gone and you need 1 less vote in the yes column. There needs to be a serious investigation into that fiasco....

Exactly! Heck, it's the week-end, those of us who still have jobs will mostly not be working on Saturday, so let's step it up! Let's do double-time, triple-time on that pressure. Keep pushing!

Sorry to sound so much like a brainless cheerleader (with my apologies to the world's cheerleaders), but we just have to push harder and harder and harder.
