ST. CHARLES, Mo. (Associated Press) -- Democrats claimed momentum Wednesday in their drive to enact the sweeping health care legislation sought by President Barack Obama, citing near agreement on crucial issues despite persistent Republican efforts to knock them off stride.

Obama himself, rallying support outside Washington for the second time this week, shouted to a crowd in Missouri, "The time for talk is over. It's time to vote."

Well, you know, they’ve been so believable so far...I’m sure they have the votes!!! NOT!!! I still don’t think they have the votes and they won’t have the votes, but that’s just me.

The time for fooling around with RINO’s and marxists who call themselves “Progressives” to hide their marxist agenda (as if that will continue to work forever) is fast coming to a close.

Its a blessed thing that the degenerate slick son of a bitch ROMNEY from a family of cowards is going to try for the GOP nomination because it will once and for all propel a candidate (as yet undetermined) to stop pulling punches and declare WAR ON SOCIALISM.

The candidate must name names, vow to destroy the members of the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” and excoriate geographic areas such as San Francisco and other socialist strongholds as “US AGAINST THEM”

The effin party is over, time to smack down these CPUSA stooges and fellow travelers, put PR mens heads on pikes, and put the fear of God and the sword in the hearts of the ENEMY WITHIN.

I thought the time for talking was extended until March 18th? I wish this arseloch would make up his mind.

But if he wants to vote, right now, please do. What is holding it back? Oh yeah, his own party.

What an idiot.

"The time for talk is over. It's time to vote."

I think the President just told everyone to SHUT UP.

Senate Health Care Bill Dead on Arrival, Pro-Life House
- FOXNews.com
(from thread below)
“The health care reform bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve appears to be dead on arrival in the House, as seven anti-abortion Democrats intend to join the ranks of lawmakers who plan to vote against the legislation, Fox News has confirmed.”
Since all you need to be able to do in politics is count—votes and payola—the brass hat `rats must be planning some sort of concession on the Stupak amendment (subject to future amendment), under-the-table deals a la Ben Nelson, and voila: the camel’s in the tent.

Pelosi and other House Democrats want to include Obama's proposed overhaul of the nation's student loan programs in the second, fix-it health care bill. The measure would require the Education Department to originate all student assistance loans, effectively eliminating a role for banks and private lenders.

While they're at it, maybe they could also stick in immigration and the war in Iraq--oh, and canceling the 2010 elections.

March 18 was a fake-out. He knows his only chance of passing it is literally tonight or tomorrow.

Next week the US Chamber of Commerce and a number of large companies are beginning a media campaign against the bill. If they believed they had until March 18, they were fools. Look for tonight or tomorrow or maybe, at the latest, Friday.

Will there be enough money left in the US Treasury to pay for the impeachment and imprisonment of those responsible for this travesty of a bill should it pass? Pure tyranny.
