The House tries to pass Obamacare in a big hurry, breaking how many Constitutional rules/regulations??
FOX news coverage can be seen online at http://www.blinkotv.com/ (select "HD Test")
From what I read, it will succeed, because all Republicans will vote for it + enough Blue Dogs. Whether this is smart strategically, I don’t know.
I don’t think you can tell anything from a voice vote. I’m not an expert on these things but:
A)There is probably not a full chamber now, so I wouldn’t base it on the sound of the Yeas and Nays
B)I think the chair usually calls the voice vote in their favor and the actual winner is only known after the recorded vote is taken.
John Tierney said that the Republican Bill will leave 52 million Americans w/out insurance. Obama started out claiming we had to help the “47 million”, then 30 million after Joe Wilson!
“52 million Americans “
He probably meant NORTH Americans, not citizens of the United States
>> I think they’re voting on the Republican Substitute Bill
Thanks. Pence is on now.
See the Stupak amendment is irrelevant....
Why???
If Abortion isn’t included the rats will find a court who will order Abortions to be funded, same for illegals.
The rat cockroaches in the house know this.
Pence challenging the integrity of the Blue Dogs.
Pence is great.
was listening too
PENCE for President 2012
Red Eye Alert.
Thaddeus McCotter (R) on now.
McCotter is great.
Next to his oratory, most of the others sound like they’re ordering at Burger King.
“McCotter is great.”
He just said free republic. We like that :)
According to National Review Online, the Catholic Bishops have been in contact with John Boehner putting the heat on Republicans to vote 'yes' on the Stupak amendment, even if it means PelosiObamaCare passes. Makes my blood boil....
Miller (D) mocks Republican plan by making analogy to those left behind in ‘Katrina’.
The Republicans were not in charge of Louisiana during Katrina.
Those interested might want to open up a tab with Rep. Eric Cantor’s (GOP Whip) Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/GOPWhip
His latest count is 35 Dems will vote Nea - just 6 short of what we need (or is it 5)?
There were troops, ice, food, water and trucks on the borders of LA waiting....until the DEM governor talked to the DNC and refused military assistance from W. The media did not report video of these folks waiting for entry permission. No doubt the enemedia was on that call.......
McDermott is the unbalanced Dem freak who ran over a black kid in DC, the latest in a string of such incidents.
McDermott (D) mocking Republicans saying they didn’t read their own bill.
>> The media did not report video of these folks waiting for entry permission.
I was lectured by locals while in Europe about Bush’s alleged Katrina failures.
