Obamacare test vote

TESTING 2.. 3 ...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

THE FIRST HEALTH CARE VOTE: The 47-to-53 defeat of the $247 billion doc fix was a bigger loss than supporters expected. The defeat came at the hands of Senate Democratic moderates, jittery about adding to the national debt by passing legislation that wasn’t paid for. The fact that Democrats, who hold a 60-vote majority, could not muster even 51 votes for the bill is a sign of rocky sledding ahead for health care reform.
Roll Call’s Steven Dennis: “House Democratic leaders sounded bullish Wednesday after launching an all-hands-on-deck effort to win support for a ‘robust’ public insurance option in their health care bill. ‘We think we have the votes now,”’ Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) told reporters. ‘We have the votes to pass a robust public option.’ Larson cautioned that the details were still being worked out, and Democratic aides said Members were still being whipped at press time and did not release a tally.  {politico]
 If Pelosi can get 218 people to publicly declare for this monstrosity, I'll kiss her arse in Macy's window.

Careful...

I am sure she has enough nutty constituents in her area to get that 218 people. After all, she manages to get enough morons to keep voting her in.

When in doubt, her list will contain a list of dead, yet eligible to vote, people.

Sorry for not being clear .. My 218 people referred to the bare majority on a House vote.

Do not use the words "bare" and "Nancy Pelosi" in the same sentence, Rodger! Puh-leeze!

Great PS, Rodger. It almost shows us what Pelosi's soul looks like. Contrary to popular belief, she does, indeed, have a soul. It's just very ugly (starve a soul/feed a lie). Wouldn't want to be her on Judgment Day.
