Well Huckabee just mentioned it on Fox news so maybe everybody’s trying to check it out like me. The WH comment line is closed, Stupak’s number is busy, I need to call someone.

All that guys like O'Reilly who smugly declared the bill passed the other night.......and Cavuto who is announcing the pro votes are coming in like gangbusters......are doing is causing those folks who are easily demoralized to NOT come to Washington to rally, or to NOT keep phoning their representatives.

Cavuto should know better.....he knows economics, but not political psychology.

The Dems and the state-controlled media anchors have employed psychology every day and every minute this week that the pro votes were and are coming in like gangbusters.

We still play by Marquis of Queensbury rules, sigh.

Hmmm. No scoring from the CBO on the reconciliation bill because the Dems won’t give the CBO the time to complete it?

Not for nothing, the Repubs are so much better spoken and informed than the Demonrats - it’s striking!

Mr. Camp is acquitted himself quite well.

I used to like Cavuto, but all I think he is interested in now is to make sure that FBN can beat CNBC, much like BoR's self interests.

UPDATE: I’ve been able to get thru twice now (as of 11:25 Sat morn) to Watt’s office. He’s still “undecided” and I advised him to vote NO on the bill.

Call Mel Watt’s office now! NC Democrat “undecided” 202/225-1510

I just called his office and I got thru and spoke with a woman staff worker. She said he is undecided and I told her that if he voted yes, I would do everything I could to make sure he was not re-elected.

Call his office now! 202/225-1510

Well, we don't know do we?

From what I've seen of these crooks in the last year, the bill was supposed to pass about six times with the American public overwhelmingly in favor.

It's been BS every time. We can only do what we are doing. Pressure. Pressure. Pressure.

I say- it isn’t so.

There, better? ;)

Actually- I was REALLY depressed yesterday. Today...it seems a little brighter.

MEanwhile- BREAKING per Neil on FOX:

Stupak’s office saying it isn’t necessarily over with Pelosi...talks MAY be ongoing.

Sounds to me they’re just trying to say we tried til the bitter end...

Oh! The nerve of that Sander Levin.

Did he just say about the special deals for certain states on Medicare payments: “don’t call it a special deal on Medicare call it a good deal”????

I don’t know who this McGovern clown is but he is a POS. IMO.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21.

That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President

I didn’t hear him mention the Slaughter rule. He just told Cavuto that he was counting the no votes, not the yes votes.
