Rep. King just told just they can hear us in the rules committee.
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Alcee Hastings is the most outrageous fool- it’s true the IQ of the voting public must be REALLY low. He’s talking about the good old days when there were no insurance companies- we still had doctors. WTH??? Does he think we’re going to get free medical care for people and abolish insurance companies?
I swear- he is NUTS. Besides utterly corrupt.
Shakes head...
Seeks EO on Abortion Funding?

Wasn’t this shut down inside already? It can’t be done this way.
Maybe the chant should be changed to “come out, come out; wherever you are...”
She is another ‘oldie’ in Congress that needs to be gone.I'm sick of these ‘brain dead' people making decisions for my family...any one see BYRD lately? I saw the Sen. Johnson who was in a coma for a year being wheeled into the President's speech today, he looked out in left field...
call me an old meanie or what ever but I worked nursing homes for 20 years and I seen what the aging process does to a person...and I am 67 right now and I had enough sense to call it quits when I was 62, besides I was tired of working!!! I love Retirement...
Excellent! You know, maybe there really is some fear going on and that’s a great thing. Can you imagine having to come home for Easter break...
He's a cargo cultist. Medical care will be flown in on a C-47. Everybody knows that.

White House Divide-and-Conquer-Stupak-Bloc Strategy [James C. Capretta]
One of the options the Democrats are looking at is an executive order to get their last votes.
But this seems highly unlikely to work in any real and enduring sense to change the underlying policy from what’s in the Senate bill regarding funding of abortions.
For starters, the Democrats say the Senate bill already satisfies the test of staying true to Hyde. So what are the odds that they are going to be willing to accept real Stupak-like language overnight? The president’s “base” would go crazy, one would think. So that seems like a real stretch.
Moreover, an executive order isn’t even as tight as a regulation. It can be rescinded in a day, by a new president, for instance. There’s no guarantee at all it would survive over time. Plus it would be up to the executive branch to enforce it, not the courts.
It seems clear that the White House is trying to divide the Stupak group, and provide another fig leaf for some of them. Let’s hope it doesn’t work. If the Stupak group really wants to prevent funding of elective abortions, the only way to do so is by passing a Hyde-like amendment into law. Anything short of that would almost surely lead, in time, to direct federal funding of abortion-on-demand.

HAh! You may be correct- he did mention how great it is to see all the doctors going in to Haiti..using this as an example of- see? lotsadocs- no problem!
Alcee Hastings just brought that up- he said those people can be heard, but they’re insured and don’t have pre-existing conditions...
He is a fool.
I don’t have health insurance right now and I DON’T WANT IT FROM THE US GOVERNMENT.
Hold on to this re: accusations of TParty calling out the N word and slurs.

And that’s considering the source.
Code Red says 211 No 209 Yes 11 undecided
From IBD: "If you look at the numbers below, you understand why this is consequential. Teague puts the definite No votes at 210, with five leaners, four of them part of the Stupak bloc. There are only 8 undecideds left, and 208 Yes votes with leaners. So Pelosi would have to get all 8, including Stupak bloc member Kathy Dahlkemper, and hold Marcy Kaptur (who probably shouldn’t be a lean Yes). Failing that, she could try to flip Glenn Nye, or go to one of her committee chairs voting No (Ike Skelton, Collin Peterson) and ask them to walk the plank."
Pinch me, I'm a little dinged, but isn't this Good News!?
