Oh, wait. He would just paint more swastikas on his office buildings.

I’ve often heard of these mythical creatures but have never seen one myself. Legend has it, that if you wish hard enough and put all your faith in them, that they will materialize before your eyes and save you from harm.

Claims he has 12 votes that would flip on abortion. And that is an issue that largely could not be fixed by reconciliation. If they have to fix that…they have to go to the Senate first.

This should be interesting to watch.

That the original house bill passed with exactly the needed vote count. Feels like Pelosi granted dispensation to some Democrats in tough districts. We get to see now whether or not there are arms that can still be twisted. Common sense tells us that there are, though.

“I think they’ve got less votes,” said Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, one of the 39 Democrats, many of them conservative Blue Dog Democrats, who voted against the House bill. And he said he won’t be reversing himself to vote in favor of whatever amalgam of House and Senate plans emerges as the final product.

Melancon noted that the House leadership already starts three votes down from November because of the death of Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., and the retirements of Reps. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., and Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, so “they’re already in a bind there.”

On the opposite end of the Democratic spectrum, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said he is now leaning against voting for any final package because of Obama’s recent efforts to embrace some Republican ideas in the name of bipartisanship.

Grijalva said Obama’s letter Tuesday, citing four worthy Republican ideas on health care, infuriated and insulted him and his allies, who saw the president embrace health savings accounts at a new “pillar of reform,” even as the public option, which Grijalva said is the single most popular provision with his constituents, was shoved off the table entirely.

If they do not and this monster passes the anger and resentment of the people will be directed to Republicans as well as Democrats because Republicans will be seen as assleep at the wheel . This will only strengthen third party candidates which I think will be a disaster fo republicans in november . Raw determination to fight and Gunine anger will however strongly distinguish Republicans from Democrats and hence a much stronger showing in november with little or no third party support. A simple truth.

Just roll over on command? Sure they bark a lot first but when it comes down to it they can’t cave in fast enough.
