So I ask the leaners, the uncommitted donks are tey goingtop defend this cluster eff to their constituents that might fall into these two economic areas.
Vote NO. You ar e selling out those that voted you in.

Dan…. is your take from inside sources, or from what some of the site counts are?

Today we must man the boats, and like General Washington, cross the Delaware. They do not have the votes; and now we must take the beaches like our Soldiers and Marines in Normandy, and the Pacific. We must attack and attack and attack all day and through the night. Our weapons are the phones, e-mail, and faxing. Leave voice-mails if necessary.

Below are our targets. E-mail this list to your friends, neighbors, and relatives. Take this list and strike for your country; strike for our heritage; strike for your children; strike for our future. Never give in; never let up. Like the 101st Airborne Division, “Strike Fear!” We are Americans, and we do not quit – not ever!

I am with you, Dan. Like our compatriots on September 11th, who went down STANDIN’ UP! LET’S ROLL!!!

If the red queen can get them, or break it up and get some of them, she will pass it. The prolife dems in the Stupak coalition must stand strong.

I believe the Dems have about five yes votes in reserve, guys like Pomeroy, who want to stay out of the fray and let some other Dem stick their neck out, so the Dem leadership can release him.

Pelosi and Hoyer are sitting on a bunch of guys going “I’m a yes, but get the other guy to say he’s a yes first”. and the other guy is samying the same thing.

But if one or two more fence sitters come out with solid NOs it may keep them on the sidelines, especially if they come from outside the Stupak Bloc.

I’d love to have some wildcard come out as a no like Lynch or Sanchez, maybe Foster, or Michaud

The talk shows seem to be rolling over saying it is a done deal. All the Dems are beaming on there saying this will be a plus for them in November as people will see what a wonderful give away program it is for them and will be delighted. PLEASE say you think people will finally see that these give away programs cost us all dearly! Even as I write this, I think Wasserman-Schultz is right–people will be delighted they are getting something for nothing (nothing being us “rich people’s money”).

In response to Dan’s earlier post…I would bet that RTL is waiting to see what comes of these ridiculous Stupak negotiations with Obama on an Executive Order. The Exec order would mean nothing and should provide absolutely no relief to RTL. This is the most pro-abortion legislation in the history of the Republic. Also the Admin could simply rescind the order or change the way they interpret it immediatly after issuing.

This thing is so fluid, but it seems like Stupak desperately wants to vote for this and will take whatever he can get. He has been strong so far but it could be just the same as last time when he caved for an amendment that he knew would never see the light of day in the Senate. And now he has been told to pound sand by Pelosi, etc, yet he continues to hold out hope that an agreement can reached that protects the unborn. Whatever agreement he reaches isn’t worth the paper its printed on and Bart will pay a dear price.

This executive order BS is that just. Seriously after all this time Stupak is going to take an IOU on anti-abortion language? Does he think that’s going to satisfy anybody? Why did he hold out so long?

If the Stupak bloc goes (and it will) you we can announce the death of the pro-life democrat bc they are as extinct as the ‘conservative’ democrat. I hope people will learn that if you vote democrat you are voting for a liberal/progressive agenda. What makes me crazy is people who vote for their so-called conservative democrat and think that will influence policy – it absolutely doesn’t matter – all it does is draf these things out.

….for best performance by a Democrat in the role of principled politician goes to ______________. All of you can fill in the blank with your own selection. My vote goes to Stupak.

If I have learned nothing else from this whole ugly process, I HAVE learned that there are NO principled Dems. Kaptur is now a yes, and Stupak says they’re close to a deal.

The only problem is that he has the distinguished benefit of being worse than Ben Nelson.

Does it proceed alphabetically? Since they can make the rules up as they go, why not call all confirmed Yes’s, then all GOP. Leave the weakest fence-sitters to the end, forcing them to crumble. Let’s face it–can you imagine the wrath of the Left towards the vote that brought down Obama?

companies should have gone loudly public with their projections about the layoffs that would result from it because of this travesty. They waited until it was too late. Is it possible Scott Brown’s election may have caused them to put down their arms, allowing Pelosi to re-load while they slept?

Or did conservatives and the GOP simply not do a good job of getting the employers which are near or in these Dem districts to speak out about layoffs?

The old “all politics is local” is always true; thus, the biggest ammo the opponents of the bill had were the employers of each House district.

Don’t buy the narrative. Today of all days, the goal is to create a typhoon blowing everything towards snatching waverers into the “yes” column.

Don’t let them (call!).

She still doesn’t have the votes.

We must keep our wits.

I think a congress critter can be more famous for casting the winning “NO” vote than the Winning “YES” vote.

Certainly looks that way, as there is Great Fear of the 216th “Yes” vote…..more so than the “NO” side of voting.

Guaranteed re-election (at this point in time) versus the polls and high probablility of beng a NJ, Va., Mass. instant replay participant, on the Deemocrat side.

politically was to front load the provision about insurances having to offer coverage for a “child” until the age of 26 since so many are unemployed. This will please middle-class Americans and off-set much of what they hate about the package. However, it will extend neotony, something we have enough already.

I believe the GOP needs to be more direct in its sloganeering. People need directness:

“Fifty percent of this country now pays the way in life for fifty percent of everyone else. The welfare state has done nothing but grow. What makes you think, America, that the fifty percent who do the paying, most of whom are middle class just like you, will continue to be stupid enough to not join the other side”?

Man, I would have loved for someone on our side who got camera time to have said this, over and over.

Representatives of the catholic bishops are at the capital building voiceing their opposition personally.. Heaven or hell so called “pro life dems” Heaven or Hell

…faxes or phone calls…I know I shouldn’t be shocked but how they can simply ignore us is breathtaking!! If they got 1/50th of this kind of pressure for a lefty cause they fold like a deck of cards…but us…like swatting an annoying bug away….

put “smartest” in scare quotes. As just about every provision of this bill is, it’s devastating to the health of our republic, but…it is a politically smart thing to have done. It gives just enough middle class voters, people who realize this bill doesn’t benefit them in any other way, an immediate benefit.

Take a look at this Gallup finding: http://pollingmatters.gallup.com/
From the link:

“Who will reap real-world, tangible benefits from the new legislation?

” Americans appear to have an answer to this question: The pending healthcare legislation is the functional equivalent of a Medicaid bill. The legislation will help the poor and those who currently don’t have health insurance, but at the cost of a net negative impact for most other groups affected.

“This conclusion comes from the remarkable findings of Wednesday Gallup polling. The survey question asked Americans if the “bill now being considered in Congress” would make things better or worse for a list of 10 different entities.

Results: Only two entities would gain more than they lose if the healthcare legislation now being considered in Congress is passed into law. These are:
Americans who do not have health insurance
Lower income families.

All other entities tested are perceived by John and Jane Doe out there across America as being net losers from the passage of the new bill. ”

That last sentence boggles the mind–voters know they are the “net losers” yet the Dems are voting “yes” anyway. So, why would a Dem congressman feel relatively secure in voting “yes” even though the average American sees himself as a “net loser”?

Because polling shows that only 33-35% of registered Democratic voters are opposed to the legislation. What that means is that the Dem representatives believe that their Democrat constituents are very, very altruistic, that even though they realize the legislation will not benefit them, they are willing to bear the burden for their less fortunate or their lazy neighbors.

Add to that reasoning the thought of being an outcast in their own party on the Hill should they bolt, and you have the reason for their “yes” vote.

I am one who believes that only a handful of true believers in the Dem House really likes the direction in which this bill takes the country. The others hate it but had no coalition to fight the Speaker or the President. Face it: our Congress is not made up of the brightest bulbs in the pack. The days when really intelligent, serious, thoughtful people of action went into politics were over long ago. There were no strong coalitions other than the Stupak one because the others are NOT leaders. They had no agendas. They were content to let a speaker, any speaker, lead them. They simply like the perks and the title of “Congressman.”

One of the best things to come out of this is that a guy like Paul Ryan has gotten face time. People are impressed.

Stupak better hold…

I have the nasty feeling this is going to pass.
I feel like Congress is voting YES to our children and their children’s children living in an economically stagnation and poverty. The Dem Party is destroying the middle class and creating a two-tiered system – the wealthy elite riding the backs of a poor and oppressed populace existing on scraps from a federal government that is going bankrupt under the crushing weight of debt, entitlement, and regulation.

For America, the best is OVER folks.
It’s all downhill from here.

Actually, it was all downhill before this vote even happened. Obama and his socialist cohorts are stomping on the accelerator. Sadly, they are taking the rest of the world down with them. Goodbye, freedom and prosperity. The Chinese will run the new world order.

This will lose in the courts of lose by passion and state’s rights. Regardless, it will fail in the end. Maybe not today – although I am not giving up yet – but if we have to take an MLK approach to nullificaton (non-violent passive agressive nullification) then enough states refusing ObamaCare can kill it. I have a diary with information on the topic and will be writing more as time goes by.

Think of David and Goliath. None of the Israelite’s would fight Goliath, but David saw Goliath from a different perspective. We must change our perspective and become an army of David’s. Like David, we must use the tools at our disposal, not slingshots – or guns – but our minds, our passion, and our resolve. This can be faught and the war can be won.

Do not despair or we will lose. It is not over is we lose the battle today. The war over our constitution and liberties has just began. I use the word war as a mental set of battles, not in the literal sense. Gird you loins. There is a realignment occuring and we are right in the middle of it. Lot’s of opportunity for us here.

We live in interesting times. Prepare your spirit, prepare your mind, FEEL the calm and work towards liberty in a deliberative manner. Battles will be lost, but we will win.

For America, the best is OVER folks.
It’s all downhill from here.

It’s definitely all downhill for quitters. They’ll live the rest of their lives knowing they abandoned the fight when things got tough. That kind of thing will eat away at our soul until the people at your funeral can hardly remember who you were.

I am not a political activist, but I, like a lot of others, am thoroughly distraught over the revolution that is being waged against America’s traditions and values. I have not involved myself until very recently, but will contribute steadily, reliably and resolutely for years, if necessary, to oppose this leftist revolution.

Hopefully soon opposition leaders will organize themselves, so that people like me can get behind them and support them,. Like any army, we need leadership, planning, and organization to identify and concentrate our forces on enemy weak points, and rally the common folk (like me).

The tea party movement is wonderful,but now, the way things look, we need something more focused and directed.

I feel the same way. I really wish, however, that the GOP learns to speak the language of truth, to lay off platitudes and PC language. Reagan was able to talk of welfare queens and yes, he was pummeled by the Left, but he stood tall, didn’t waver, and the public voted for him because he spoke the truth, wasn’t afraid to confront it.

The welfare state we have created crosses all racial lines or perhaps I should say, it knows no race, no gender, no ethnicity. It robs initiative and exceptionalism. It destroys confidence and self-reliance. It produces the unproductive, the dependent.

There is nothing wrong with saying that vast numbers of us, people who dutifully go to work, support our children and nurture our families, are tired of giving housing vouchers, food vouchers, and now, health insurance vouchers to the slackers among us who have no intention of ever supporting themselves or their offspring. Failure to say this outright to a nation yearning to hear a politician who WILL say it, is one reason this mess will pass.

He’s a Democrat. He’s a liberal. He’s going to vote yes. I hope you guys aren’t really thinking we have a chance. It’s a hail mary. You need to prepare yourself for the most likely result, and then you can rejoice if it turns out our way.

What’s up with the latest at Drudge? Anyone know? For real or one of Drudge’s leaps?
