The dems have 60. That is all they need to pass whatever they want. The only way any type of filibuster is successful is if he canot herd all of his cats together.

Let’s see….

1. Patriots
2. Insurance Companies
3. Bankers
4. Doctors
5. Fox News
6. Rush and all his listeners
7. Seniors

Pretty soon their populist wave will consist of a coalition of African Americans, Harvard elitists, Keith Olberman, and Rachel Maddow.

They could just buy off the AMA by sending one of those fancy-shmancy white lab coats to every doctor! They could even embroider the little Obama logo on each one.

They’re not going to stop trying to weasel their way through this. Eternal vigilance, my friends.

Still, there’s something amusing about a grown man crying, when <ibOld Yeller is not even on the TV.

Both Warner and Webb voted NO. I wonder if they are starting to hear the citizens of the Commonwealth now? Maybe the recent polls showing McDonnell +19 (SurveyUSA) and +12 (PPP) are catching their attention.

Send all help you can to Virginia. Money, phonebanking, volunteers all welcome here.

and all the like that we get from Democrats….

While this is only partially related, ties to the fact Democrats (like in this case) try to “adjust” the ObamaCrap …. er…. ObaMaoCare Bill without directly putting its costs into it to keep their fictitious $829 Billion number – I just thought of this and wanted to share it.

Now, this will be on about a 6 year-old level “analogy” (that is a story about something one can grasp to give a basic ‘likeness’ in situation to another in terms someone might better understand) so our Politically Brain-dead Liberal guests (like that brief explanation of what an analogy is, since they probably don’t get past the first 4 letters of that word and didn’t know what it means and) can maybe begin to follow the concept….

It’s like all the Liberals getting excited about FREE ICE-CREAM and they go miles and miles out of their way to get the said FREE ice-cream. Most would recognize the “miles and miles” part implies a “cost,” but that isn’t even really what this “analogy” is about. What it is about is how they didn’t pay attention to the DETAILS of the offer and then are astonished, surprised, and even out-raged, that they later get a Bill for $10 for all the Add-on Toppings they piled on their Ice-cream while they were there.

If this were a real example they would be demanding that the Ice-cream business be shut-down and the owner jailed for THEIR FAILURE TO PAY ATTENTION to what was really being offered. However, and this is where we tie the analogy in dear Liberals, when it is the Demoncrats they keep voting into Government falsely advertise and hide costs (as they would point out was being done by the Ice-cream parlor) — Nothing.

Since we have to directly spell it out for them….. WHAT THAT MEANS IS they (your Democrats) are pulling all the same tricks and gimmicks they have always done in order to HIDE the true costs of their Government schemes (in this case, ObaMaoCare). Yet, you Liberals never learn the lesson!!

Perhaps some other examples might be given at a 4-year-old level for you (Liberals) to better grasp instead.

and the others who were wavering end up voting?

and the others who were wavering end up voting?

Harry must have misplaced his script.

It’s really precious to see Harry blaming the AMA for not delivering votes from the GOP Senators that Harry refuses to even allow in the same room with him. Does he not realize how stupid he looks?

[Golf clap]

Real adults and men of women of honor will admit defeat or admit mistakes….

I don’t think we will ever see this from Reid, Pelosi or Obama….

One of a thousand reasons why these people should not be
ruining – I mean running our government.

That made the efforts !

I know my liberal, no job, micheal moore loving brother in law will never realize it; but you all made efforts that will be better for his life as well as yours, mine and every red blooded, patriotic American that does think the people, not DC are the best solution to our problems !

Who contacted their senators, and pushed them in the right direction.

If Republicans do really well in the upcoming elections (I think they will), expect to see Democrats jump ship on health care in even greater numbers.

As liberal as these Senators are, their career comes first. I really don’t see how any Senator that votes for ObamaCare that comes from a Red State doesn’t end their career in politics. I would say of the list of 13 that voted against this, 10 of them will likely be thrown out of office if they go along with Obama.

Are they really willing to sacrifice their political career for Obama?

Considering that the capitol switchboard was flooded by Obama organizers this weekend, we really did deal them a blow.

Some “moderate” yes votes to take note of:

Kay Hagan
Tim Johnson
Mary Landrieu
Blanche Lincoln
Ben Nelson
Mark Pryor

The Arkansas Senators should get an earful for this vote. Particularly Lincoln, who is already in hot water.

The Ben Nelson vote is not too surprising. I believe he votes for cloture on almost all bills, out of principle. I think the one exception was the immigration bill 2007, where he voted against cloture. If he can vote no on the immigration bill, then I would think he could vote no on the coming healthcare bill as well. No?

significant? I consider myself politically savvy, but sometimes I need stuff explained.

The Dems were planning a 10 year freeze of doctors medicare payments, and I just want to know why they wanted that? I would appreciate it if a red stater could explain it to me. However, I know it’s good if Dingy Harry is PO’d.

you helped a confused 25-year-old out.

I hope that it means that some of the dems and the moderate republicans realize that the tide has turned. Thanks Red State for alerting all of us to this. Had it not been for this site I would have never known about this in time to make calls.

I thought this was a good idea for those who have the time (from my automatic email from Dick Armey):

“Representatives and Senators need to hear from you not only on the phone, and via email and traditional mail – but in their own backyards. A district office visit doesn’t take long, and is a very important step that shows you are serious about preserving our freedoms.

Many folks are having trouble getting through to their Congressmen on the phone – some offices are no longer answering, other lines are jammed. If they won’t listen when we call, then you need to show up on their doorsteps!”

Here is the website with more ideas:

Thank you RedStaters!

It isn’t even remotely 1/1,000 of 1% over, but this is some decent news.

Wait a second……. Florida’s Senator Nelson, is that you ?…….. With us ?……. Wow.

I know we’ve butted heads more often than not, but when somebody does right by our nation, I acknowledge it.

Don’t know what your motivation was (probably a major-level medical PAC donation), but thank you anyway.

Cheers from South Flori-duh !

about the “health care reform” now that this offer is off the table. This was supposedly the only reason they were supporting the dems bill to begin with…….which was a huge mistake in the first place.
They need to bring doctors together to help defeat the dems health care “reform”, not support it!

It seems like when Reid is losing a vote he switches his vote so he can ask to reconsider later. But here he stayed as a yes. Does that procedural trick only come into play on final votes (i.e. it doesn’t matter on cloture votes), or is it only if something is passing that he wants to fail, or is it for some other scenario altogether?

and I would LOVE to hear what Dennis Miller has to say about this latest
Harry Reid-ism!!!

God Bless You RED STATE. Their knees are starting to buckle, and thy are on their heels, When we get them on the ground, we have to keep them there. Thanks for all the usefull information.

AMEN!
