The House tries to pass Obamacare in a big hurry, breaking how many Constitutional rules/regulations??

Don’t know if he smokes.

Can’t listen to Dingle.

[truthkeeper]

I think we’re all a little drunk tonight. Or if we aren’t, we will be.

I thought he sounded pretty good—concise specific notations and details of Pelosicare bill, focused, on point...now Pelosi, she was all over the place with her speech, I’d bet good money she’s already been in the cooking sherry.

I don't have a problem with what he said. He just looked and sounded like he'd had a few.

Dingellberry being cheered for giving depressing old rhetoric and lies.

The Communists, aka progressives, go crazy with applause.

[Marathoner]

OK, I just switched over from college football for a while to follow this travesty. Have we been sold down the river yet?

[WashingtonSource]

Not yet. The Stupak amendment failed on a voice vote, I think. 35 Dems are known to be going to vote no. We need 6 more votes to kill the bill.

Dingly, your President allows Cobra for 18 months, and pays most of it for you for 9 months. You are lying that you can be fired and lose your insurance.

1) Stupak gets the 1st vote.

2) Then the Republican plan gets a vote.

[Marathoner]

Thanks for the update.

[WashingtonSource]

Actually they are voting now on the Stupak meeting

[Gene Eric]

Electronic vote now on Stupak amendment.

[sloop]

can a smart someone explain what just happened with boener? he asked to speak (or something) after that democrat that looks like satan - they took a voice vote

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Politico is nothing more than a tool of the libs.

[Yaelle]

Not just the gentleman’s time but his MIND just expired as well.

[BCrago66]

No, but we’re scheduled to be sold down the river in about 1 hour, 1 minute, the time of the final vote.

[sloop]

excuse - that is - that looks like death - not satan

had to revise and extend my question

[who knows what evil?]

...that democrat that looks like satan...

That doesn't narrow it down one bit.

[truthkeeper]

Hopefully Stupak will fail and the BlueDogs will lose their phony cover.

Let the rubber hit the road, already.

[BCrago66]

Some Republicans will vote “present,” according to the Congress Daily reporter on C-Span now, hoping the Stupak bill will consequently fail, thus making it harder for the Blue Dogs to vote for the final bill.
