The Corner ^ | 19 March 2010 | Daniel Foster

Agreed. Pelosi sqeaks this out with 217-214 margin.

[SE Mom]

I wanted to SMACK her through the TV...what a self-righteous b###h.

[Oceander]

Congratulations Rep. Altmire. I trust that the courage of your convictions will stay with you through Sunday.

[SE Mom]

Thanks!

This nun on Fox news is driving me crazy

Well I know for one thing, her healthcare plan does not include dental, see that set of rotten choppers on her. Please Sister stop with the Jesus thing, you're no follower of Christ. Light and Dark cannot dwell in the same place and you have chosen sister, false piety and titles won't protect you.

[Buckeye McFrog]

John Delano is a pretty credible local source, so I believe it. Altmire was under tremendous pressure. The bad news is that I’m sure Queen Nancy gave her permission first.

March 19 - U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, said Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are “nuts” to think that Sunday’s vote on health-care legislation will resolve the issue.

Wow. I actually agree with Orrin Hatch about something?

[oldvike]

This is just a sham to help him keep his job come November. They have the votes. Otherwise they wouldn’t be voting. It’s a done deal.

[Siena Dreaming]

They have no idea which way some of these people will vote.

It could break either way.

[jessduntno]

Attaboy AND follow up...that’s why I included his contact info...Trust but Verify...

[tcrlaf]

Baron Hill (Ind.) Told the Los Angeles Times he is leaning yes, noting the new CBO numbers.

FAKED numbers, as we now know, to give liars like this guy cover.

[misterrob]

Sounds like a man interested in keeping his job

After-Action Report:

At 2:25pm on March 19, 2010, I visited the district offices of Jason Altmire (D-PA) in Aliquippa, PA; and expressed my support of his pro-life stand. I let his staff member know that Sunday’s vote on the Reconciliation Bill would be the biggest vote on abortion that he would ever cast in his career; and that I expected him to vote accordingly, and would hold him to it. My time and donations would be going to his opponent the November if he failed to maintain the stand that he ran on. Conversely, if he cast the deciding vote against the bill and the legislation failed, that he would have my vote “for life” (pun intended).

The staff member politely noted my name and that I was in his district and that I had traveled from Gibsonia to make my views known to the Congressman.

DeFazio was supposedly a no but now is just undecided....which pretty much means he will vote yes, let’s face it.

Maybe, but

3/19/2010 DeFazio flips from Yes to No

[SE Mom]

The conventional wisdom says they get to go their way after it’s in the bag...this time I’m not so sure.

[Man50D]

I don’t mean to be the turd in the punch bowl, but it seems to me that Nancy has the votes and is starting to tell certain Dems that it is ok to go public with a “no” vote.

What is your source?

[penelopesire]

WOOHOO...(hope it stays a NO). He is probably being offered a swiss bank account filled with cash right about now(with our tax dollars of course...lol).

Thanks for the good news ping.
