Detail.

They will not vote on this until Sept.

The Republicans MUST spend the entire month of AUG on the House floor reading the details of this bill.

Make Nancy bar the door, and if she does, stand on the steps of the Capitol and read it.

I’m assuming that “cut a deal” is a euphamism for the bluedogs getting thier piece of the pie (extortion money).

She can't guarantee they'll keep their seats.

I'm wondering if she's offering some kind of golden parachute for their life after Critterdom.

Note to the BDs and Pelosi: Don't think you'll get busted for bribery? Talk to Monica Conyers.

” Though House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says the bill won’t reach a floor vote by the August recess, leaders hoped to get the bill out of committee by the end of the week.”

The best world would probably to get a bill out of committee but no vote. That way we can chew the Blue Dogs a new one in August. Its the details that kill them.

They will not vote on this until Sept. The Republicans MUST spend the entire month of AUG on the House floor reading the details of this bill.

What Dems are desperately trying to do is vote this out of committee before August recess.

It is vital that this is where it gets stopped.

The so-called blue-dogs were pressured and caved, because even though they will be yelled at in August by the American people, they know that in September the full House will pass Obamacare.

If Rush is correct with the details the vote will not be until they come back at the end of Auguest.

The Blue Dogs are going to be in a world of hurt if this is correct.

It also offers the Republicans an opportunity to use the whole month to educate the public to the details.

What Rush said is that Dems want this passed out of committee on Friday before the August recess. That is where it has been stalled by the so-called Blue Dog Dems and they want it passed to lesson the complaints from their constituents during the recess.

He also said that the full House will vote on the bill in September, where he is certain it will pass. They don't need any Republican votes. They don't care what the American people think.

This will be a signal for the blue dog voters to choose (R) next time around.

I wish that were true. Unfortunately the average American demoRAT voters and so called "independent" voters are dumber than a box of rocks. The "blue dog" demoRATs vote the liberal-socialist-marxist party line 98% of the time on the crucial bills of more taxes, more gubmint spending, gun control laws, implementing the Fairness Doctrine, Hate Crimes (for homos, blacks & Islamics) legislation, Cap n Tax legislation. The blue dog demoRATs spin it so it sounds like they voted for the John Birch Society agenda right down the line, when they come back to their districts and sound like hard core conservatives, evangelical born-again Christians, pro-American, pro-Israel, and the dumb ass sheeple will fall for this pack of lies and return the blue dogs and any demoRATs for that matter, back to the Congress with 60-80% winning margins. Go figure. Dumb ass voters!!!
