They have been faced with the onslaught of our calls and have persevered under some pretty brutal conditions.

They helped convey the strength of the message that killed “Deem and Pass” and deserve our thanks.

and patient. it was when you got to the actual staff (especially of the yes group) that they seemed like they didn’t want to hear from you for some reason. Go figure. Maybe they were volunteers. I would hate to think my tax dollars paid them to be so rude.

going to have to walk the plank without being sure of Senate cover. If reconciliation passes the House but not the Senate, then the House Dems will once again have bought a bag of excrement from their leadership. They will get pounded by ads excoriating them for voting for kickbacks, bribes, taxing cadillac plans, and everything else they hate about the Senate bill.

And what’s their response going to be? Uh, well, I was stupid enuf to think the Senate was going to fix it.

I’ll be interested in how many yes’s who gave their yes under the cover of deemon pass will change their mind now.

That’s what’s going to happen to Stupak and his gang of 10 ot 12.

This is not good.

Part of the announcement leading to crescendo of visiting King Obama.

SOMETHING has to be available to prevent this from becoming law.

Do they really have the votes?

Senators that they will vote for the reconciliation fixes bill.

the military medical services of TRICARE, and the VA treatment of veterans is NOT protected by this legislation. An unelected Treasury Department bureaucrat will decide whether the current level of care provided to military families is “enough,” or whether they will have to spend more of the little money they have to purchase health insurance.

This is an obscenity.

But not unexpected from the Democrats, who want to reward every single service member for their time serving in Bush’s Wars.

“The House Democratic leadership deserves some credit for switching away from a clearly unconstitutional procedure.” Why? So they can get the bill passed on a quasi-constitutional basis? Why would you want that? I’m sorry they took Deem and Pass off the table, if the thing was going to pass anyway.

From my understanding, there are AG’s that will still sue for the favor shown to some states, but, not to others. Somewhere in the Constitution, Congress cannot pass legislation favoring one state over any others. The thing will still go before the courts. Also, I am not so sure that Obama can sign an Executive Order that includes major funding of anything. If Stupak falls for it, he is dumber than a box of Rocks. Actually, he already is that, just by being a Demonrat.
