Stupak-Pelosi deal is off! (according to Firedoglake)

As of right now, the deal that Stupak made with Pelosi is off–he has postponed his press conference and Henry Waxman and Lynn Woolsey have said there is no deal on abortion.

But that leaves the problem of whip count. If Democrats lose all the people who had signed onto the Stupak deal, then they will have to get the vote of every single remaining fence-sitter to be able to pass the bill.

Old news from yesterday.

[TigerBait]

Obama will do the Executive Order to get the votes and then do another Executive Order before leaving office to undo it.

[Bean Counter]

70/30 odds that there is no vote today.

Bet me a burger...

[Principled]

C’mon vote it down.

[gosnaps8]

Actually, I think it’s referring to the executive order. It’s datelined today.

[hstacey]

I don’t believe that’s worth the paper it’s written on.

[Shire]

“Obama will do the Executive Order to get the votes and then do another Executive Order before leaving office to undo it.”

He will undo it before his head hits the pillow tonight.

[Brilliant]

If Stupak thinks that Pelosi will honor any deal he makes with her, then he should change his name to “Stupid.”

[RC2]

I don’t believe that Democrats can change the Bill at this point. Dealing has to be under the table now and should be outlawed. If I were in Washington, I would tell Pelosi not to threaten me or I would destroy her by going to the people and tell them what is really going on.

[Steely Tom]

How many times has this Stupik guy had a deal and then called it off?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Sounds like a toxic relationship to me. They keep dating in spite of insisting they are through with each other.

[Bean Counter]

So if this is indeed voted down, a good question to consider is if Nanzi Peloski can survive as Speaker in the aftermath...

[April Lexington]

Has it ever occurred to these asspipe Democrats to cancel the vote because it is tearing the country apart, it will be unenforceable a the public uses 1960’s radical tactics in mass civil disobedience and, in November of 2010 cleans house? This Communist powerplay is revealing the serious threat to our constitutional freedom the Democratic party has become. Sedition. Treason. The enemy domestic. Push this legislation and watch the USA descend into social unrest that will make the 1960s look like a walk in the park...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Commentators on HotAir saying Dem Congresscritters were scared s—tless at the protests yesterday. This is pyschological warfare by the Dems. I believe they do not have the votes. But they are playing some damn good poker.

[Ulysse]

What is that “GET THE VOTE” nasty and stinky stuff?
Never saw that before in a free ,developped, country.

At least VENEZUELA is clearly a banana Republic...

[mplsconservative]

This happened yesterday.

[jazzlite]

Can you imagine what a cleansing it would be for America if suddenly, exposure of what is really going on could be made clear?

[mlocher]

Sounds like a toxic relationship to me.

Any relationship that has Pelosi in it is a toxic relationship.

” If I were in Washington, I would tell Pelosi not to threaten me or I would destroy her by going to the people and tell them what is really going on.”

And yet we don't have ONE person in Congress who has the integrity and patriotism to do this!
