CBS News and The Hill, a D.C. newspaper focused on Congress, both report this morning that there are at least 36 undecided Democrat Congressmen going into Sunday's vote on the Democratic Party's attempted conquest of the healthcare industry.
The Hill reports:
According to The Hill's whip list, there are 36 Democrats who will vote no, leaning no or likely no and another three dozen are undecided or unclear. Pelosi does not have a lot of breathing room.
As Cantor says in his memo, 38 is the magic number for the GOP: "38 Democrats are needed to defeat a government take-over of health care."
On The Early Show at 7 a.m. EST, CBS News reported their count showed 44 undecided Democrats.
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
They don't have the votes. They NEVER had the votes...and it was all a smokescreen trying to build momentum.
Instead, they built just enough momentum for a spectacular crash.
Eric Cantor is the man to trust on a true whip count because he is......wait for it.....The Republican WHIP in the HOUSE!!!!
And he says that San Fran Nan is 6 votes short of 216: the Stupak Six-Pack of committed Pro-Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness FOR ALL AMERICANS from conception to natural death, Democrats.
FINAL SCORE: 221 ‘NO’ 210 ‘YES’ OBAMACARE LOSES FILM AT 11.
San Fran Nan will not even bring Obamacare to the floor of the House tomorrow. The Dam would burst and about 35 ‘YES’ votes (out of the 98 Roman Catholic Democrats) would do a last minute ‘flip’ and vote ‘NO’.
Under that scenario, the final score would be a WIPEOUT: 250 ‘NO’ 181 ‘YES’ with San Fran Nan’s grip on the Speaker’s gavel now in jeopardy.
She will not risk that scenario, there will be discussion and a vote on a completely different Public Lands/Environment bill in the House on Sunday March 21,2010.
Any healthcare bill that does not ‘insure’ the rights of the pre-born in the United States AND that mandates taxpayer funded abortion on demand, that is not really a healthcare bill at all.
It’s Deathcare.......And it’s dead Jim..........
