Next time President Obama blames Republican for bucking health care “reform” we can all get a good laugh. Dems are so split on the issue that it seems unlikely that any compromise will hold up. For everyone who rejects massive government intrusion into the health care of every American that’s good news!
Liberals gag over health deal
By GLENN THRUSH
Politico
7/29/09House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent half of Wednesday finalizing a deal with the Blue Dogs — and the other half quelling a brewing rebellion among progressives who think conservatives have hijacked health care reform.
Liberals, Hispanics and African-American members — Pelosi’s most loyal base of support — are feeling betrayed after House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) reached an agreement with four of seven Blue Dogs on his committee who had been bottling up the bill over concerns about cost.
The compromise, which still must be reconciled with competing House and Senate versions, would significantly weaken the public option favored by liberals by delinking reimbursement rates to Medicare.

Well hard headed practical people like Pelosi, Waxman and Co. run the Congress, not far left bloggers. BHO wants a bill and he will get one. Of course it will not be real reform. It will be a mish mash of more government spending, higher taxes, and bureaucratic control plus enough pork and earmarks thrown into Blue Dog districts to get enough of them on board to vote for the final package of crap which will be passed off has healthcare reform.
Great line.

For several weeks now, we’ve been force fed false statements and downright lies about the healthcare legislation Congress is attempting to put in to law. We’ve all read the headlines, digested the stories and seen the mainstream media sanctioned infomercials. We know exactly what they’re trying to do, but liberal Democrats and their followers continue to push the legislation through.
When we combined efforts for the April 15th Tax Day Tea Party, we had more than 20 free-market minded organizations, over 850 organizers, and tens of thousands of American patriots working together to make a unified statement.
Last week, Erick Erickson at RedState.com and I discussed the need for another large scale, widely promoted and unified stance against this dangerous healthcare legislation. After talking with Erickson, the folks at Smart Girl Politics and several other free-market groups, we decided that Saturday, August 22nd (during the Congressional August Recess) would be the perfect day for this nationwide event.
Michelle Malkin, one of our biggest allies for the April 15th, Tax Day Tea Party effort, has joined the coalition along with Smart Girl Politics, American Liberty Alliance, American Majority, the Sam Adams Alliance, Americans for Limited Government, Freedom Works, and RedState.com. The coalition is expected to grow in the coming weeks.
Michelle Malkin said“Now is the time for all good tea party activists to get out on the streets and tell Washington to keep its grubby hands off health care. The socialized medicine brigade is on the run. They’re hoping that the August recess will take the steam out of the counterinsurgency, but they are wrong. We will not let up. We are going to get out to a Recess Rally near us on August 22nd. It’s crunch time.”
It’s crunch time indeed.
On August 22nd, at noon local time, every freedom loving American in this great country needs to be at the office of their elected Representative. We’ll be hand delivering a petition and coalition letter, along with a strong and unified message carried by hundreds of thousands of Americans.
The Recess Rally is planned for each and every House of Representative’s district office in the country. These Government thugs think they can slip socialism into America without is knowing about it. We think it’s time to prove them wrong.

Obama Falsely Claims There Are 47 Million Uninsured Americans
I’m an Army veteran, ‘76-’74. When I signed up, the contract stated that after 180 days when I became a veteran that I would have full medical and pharmacy for life. Then a Congress came along and changed the rules to only those that are “Service Connected”. Well...that’s the problem. There are many of us with conditions that are clearly connected to our service, but the VA denies us. That’s what will happen to America, if this passes. They’ll change the rules so that you’re out. Especially if you are elderly, handicapped, or whatever they dream up. SIGN A PETITION NOW! MAKE CALLS!
Those people are normally trolls trying to keep us from doing what we can to stop this communist take over of America. Some even have join dates back in the old days of FR, but that doesn't mean they are not trolls, if it walks and talks like a duck, etc.
I think that is what the Socialist left have in mind for the "blue dogs..."
We are in deep shit.
News ping!
Problem is the Dems have been giving so much access for so long to the free store, that there’s almost nothing left to offer. Dem politicians know this. Plus their years of promising several different special interests all the same pie at the same time are coming back to haunt them. They’re now coming to collect.
Just watching Foxnews....big Meeting in San Diego of the Republicans...apparently they are going to have a big statement tomorrow about the Obama care Medical plan leading us to Socialism...
Sen from Wyoming is saying the Senate Plan is a trainwreak...lots going on!
Dems are so split on the issue that it seems unlikely that any compromise will hold up.Heh... thanks Ernest. Everyone needs to remember the bit o' political wisdom usually attributed to Tip O'Neil -- "all politics is local."
