The
White House and the congressional leadership saw this coming, and it is
why Speaker Nancy Pelosi is force-marching her health bill to a vote
tomorrow. She's not about to give her members time to absorb the ugly
results, or to be further rattled by next week's Veteran's Day break,
when they go home for a repeat of the August furies. If not now, she
knows, maybe never.
Look for it, nonetheless, to be a squeaker. A lot of Democrats are
getting a sneaky suspicion Mrs. Pelosi is willing to sacrifice their
seats on the altar of liberal government health care. Combined with the
election results and Mr. Obama's falling poll numbers, this is no
recipe for loyalty. Hello, tipping point. Hello, even crazier
Washington.

Wow. I've been pronouncing her name wrong.

And I'm sure the tens of thousands of people who showed up on the Capitol steps yesterday around noon didn't have the slightest effect on that lizard-faced crone either! She's impervious to reality.
ReplyDeletePelosi- no dictionary results
ReplyDelete~sigh~
A possibility: The House passes this monstrosity tomorrow. This leaves the Blue Dogs open to defeat in 2010, and a Republican takeover of the House.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the Senate will not pass it, led by Liebermann (I, Conn.). Icon, get it?
So, Hanky trounced, Dems destroyed, Obamba epic Fail.
I see this happening - House squeaks it by, Reid doesn't bother with the vote, but uses the budget reconciliation process trick to sneak it in. Then Obama can claim it was "passed" by both houses in congress. Remember, we're dealing with Marxists.
ReplyDeleteI have called my Congresscritter's (Travis Childers - Blue dog D, MS 1st district) DC office so much this week that they now know my voice & call me by name. He has promised to vote "No". I thanked the nice young lady and told her to pass two messages along to said Congresscritter - 1. Thanks for the commitment to vote "No" and 2. We'll be watching to make sure that Speaker hanky doesn't get him to change his mind.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S a face that would skeer a haint up a thorn bush.
ReplyDelete"Weasel Queen"
ReplyDeleteI now write it as "Natcy Pelosi."
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about calling her "Naztey Pelussy" but everybody would think I meant Harry Reid.
