Notwithstanding, National Review has turned decidedly pessimistic. Krauthammer thinks its going to pass the House. Catastrophe.

If they pass the senate bill its signed into law then the senate can refuse to remove the abortion funding in the “fix it” bill. Just my 2 cents

Krauthammer thinks its going to pass the House

Krauthammer is quite confused on this issue. Very uncharacteristic of the generally right on the mark Charles K. What he said yesterday was, as you stated, Obamcare would pass in the House. OK so far. But hen he added "but it will fail in the Senate". Well if you have been following the various reconciliation threads today you will know that once the House passes the bill it becomes LAW as soon as Obama signs it. Krauthammer is no fool but he blew this one and I'm certain that someone has pointed it out to him. He won't make that mistake again.

I realized it was going to pass when I called my Virginia Senators to complain. Then it hit me. The Senate can’t do anything to stop it...they already passed it.

Obviously since VA senators passed it...what the heck can I ask them to do that will really help?

It’s really up to the House to pass it and once they do it’s done. Reconcilliation doesn’t matter. All that does is give some House members “cover” for what they want to see the bill look like and get some more kickbacks. But it’s over once the House passes this thing and it will pass.

We need to flood the House with targeted messages to each congresscritter that is possibly going to vote for it. We need to tell the pro-abortion lobby people that it better include free abortions. THen we need to tell the Stupak guys any money going to abortions is unacceptable. We need to tell the liberal rats if it doesn’t have a fully funded public option they might as well keep the existing system and avoid all the corrupt payoffs.

We need to play both sides off each other.

Krauthammer was convinced some kind of health-care legislation would be signed by Obama prior to the end of 2009, too. He's smarter than me, but hopefully he'll continue to be wrong about this.

It is not going to pass in its present form. They may end passing something very meaningless and that is it.

If there were the votes to pass this Obamanation, then the vote would have already been held.

The fact that it hasn’t is a clear indicator that the Democraps do not have the votes at this time.
