Because the Newsmax article does not list the 23 congress creatures, I went to his site...

Now is the time to finish off the prospects of Obamacare with the Democrats reeling from the defeat in Massachusetts.

We must not trust them. The apparent reluctance of the House Democrats to pass the Senate version will evaporate once Obama puts his weight behind the bill and Pelosi starts to twist arms. Moderate Democrats cannot be counted upon.

So we need to target Democrats in swing districts who voted for the health care legislation in its first go-round in the House and convince them of the error of their ways. As the Republican floor leader in the 60s Senator Everett Dirksen once said “when they feel the heat, they see the light.”

Here is a list of twenty-three Democrats who voted for Obamacare and who are vulnerable in 2010. Its time to turn up the heat on them:

Harry Mitchell = Arizona 5

Gabrielle Giffords = Arizona 8

Alan Grayson = Fla 8

Mark Schauer = Mich 7

Carol Shea-Porter = NH 1

Mike Arcuri = NY 24

Mary Jo Kilroy = Ohio 15

Kathy Dahlkemper = Pa 3

Christopher Carney = Pa 10

Tom Perriello = Va 5

Ann Kirkpatrick = Arizona 1

Baron Hill = Indiana 9

Dina Titus = Nevada 3

John Hall = NY 19

Stephen Driehaus = Ohio 1

Paul Kanjorsky = Pa 11

Dan Maffei = NY 25

Allan Mollohan = W Va

Nick Rahall = W Va

Steve Kagen = Wisc

Marion Berry = Arkansas

John Spratt = Georgia

Zack Space = Ohio 18

And how are these geniuses going to

1. pay for it, and

2. keep the docs from retiring in droves

Obviously they plan to pass Anmesty to provide the Democrats with another 20million voters.  It doesnt matter how unpopular they are now, because by 2012, the USA will have 20million more hispanic Democrat voters who will ensure Democrat majorities for ever.

Goodbye America

And how are these geniuses going to

How, indeed?

They have to pass it in the house.  Stupak stood by his pledge.  His faction, Cao and blue dogs have to agree to vote.  It seems to me it's more to flip than they can get.  Plus, they have to TRUST Pelosi.

If that works. 

They have to walk it through the Senate process with the hopes of gaining the publics support in the process.

This is a fight to the end from a very desperate position.

Don't trust the dems now to back out.  They are desparate people and their backs are to the wall...some sort of bloodbath is coming.

2. keep the docs from retiring in droves

They're not retiring in droves.  They are moving to Haiti where they are getting thirty thousand a foot.  Dead or alive.

I figure Reid will use the nuclear option for the public option. These nitwits really believe universal health care as a right is a human rights issue. Next it will be income,housing, food, and transportation.

Thankfully their Soviet thing will be checked by Adam Smith's invisible hand...meanwhile we all suffer.

Yes, the election of Scott Brown proved that we're doomed and powerless and doomed and dead and doomed and it's time for us to surrender, because there's no hope, and we're doomed, and the Democrats are unstoppable and we're doomed.

Sounds like a bright idea from some mid-level staffer trying to help out his boss by providing a way to save this thing.

I don't know who leaked it to Morris, but Morris is one who would try to stir the pot here, most others would have ignored this thing as crazy.

27 Harry Reid is throwing all of his political capital behind this.  And $1, for a package with a total value of $1.

"If I had a dollar for every brain Harry Reid doesn't have, I would have one dollar."

Let me be perfectly clear---the American people want this bill to pass.  We just weren't getting our message out good enough and my enablers advise me to host more townhalls, grant more interviews and tap the networks to run more healthcare infomercials I intend to hit the road and canvass the country to listen to the people tell me that this is what they want.

God bless America

After Tuesday, this is insanity.  She does not have the votes to win.

However...

She might toss it out there, just so she can have the Republicans on record as voting against it.  She's hoping that she can have something to run on in the fall.

"We tried, but the Republicans said, 'no'"

The trouble is, this strategy welds this monstrosity to whomever votes for it.

(I'd like to see anyone get re-elected with this turd around their neck...)

Uh, filibuster....hello?

#22 Commiefornia is blue ONLY in the coastal counties...This blue thing has to do with crowded conditions in highly urbanized areas. The more rural...the more red.

Those of us in the red North would love to separate from the rest but they will not let go of the water they take from here....note Ahnuld is trying to steal even more water from the North for his swimming pool with $11 billion $$ bond issue while he is begging B+rry for bailout bucks. Screw RINO's...open season, no limit.

If you saw Beck's special on commie nutjobs, he made a clear point of saying that any country that switched into socialist gear had national health care as job #1.

Now, if you think November is going to be a bloodbath, check out the money quote from the Right Blogger conference held in Texas this past weekend:

The message heard over and over from just about all the panelists, was that the Right could beat the Left on-line and that our side clearly had the momentum. There was a genuine Tea Party atmosphere. There was euphoria over Scott Brown's recent win. Money bombs for Right candidates for office were also mentioned frequently. There was a definite emphasis on unity on the Right, and steering clear from divisive issues.

We've come a long way, baby.

From Libertarian Republican dot com.

#73 We don't call him McAmnesty for nothing.

Palosi will be reelected as a congressman. The Speakership is a different story.

The House has to vote on a bill out of committee and the majority wins. There is NO way that bill will pass in the house. Therefore the bill is dead.

However, whatever the reason for all this do-or-die BS its a reelection killer no matter what is done. Its too late to shut up. They are doomed.

Speaking of doomed...send money to JD in AZ to beat the fucking clown McNasty.

Post #21 -

Correction:

John Spratt - SOUTH CAROLINA -  I have called him before.  He won't say what he's going to do until he votes.  A big, fat 'screw you' to people in his district.  This old fart needs to go, and I hope my vote puts him out.  

The longer people are unemployed and hurting, the less likely people will be to suffer the fools who bring 'healthcare' 'reform'.  People want jobs, they want the economy to recover, they want the burden of taxes they pay to go down, they want the threat of foreclosure on their home to go away. 

They don't want a monument to the greatness of government which will 1) cost over a trillion dollars and 2) result in their own personal healthcare being rationed.

I see Rep. Marion Berry, (D., Ark) is on that list of vulnerable seats.  Heh!  This from WaPo:

Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry is expected to announce his retirement tomorrow morning, according to three sources briefed on the decision.

Berry will become the sixth Democrat in a competitive seat to leave in the last two months but the first to announce his retirement since the party's special election loss in Massachusetts last Tuesday.

"The message coming out of the Massachusetts special election is clear: No Democrat is safe," said National Republican Congressional Committee communications director Ken Spain.

Berry, first elected in 1996, had been noncommittal about his re-election bid for months although, privately, his allies insisted he was planning to run for re-election.

While Berry had rarely been challenged in the 1st district over the past decade or so, the seat has a clear Republican tilt as Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) won it with 59 percent in 2008.

Arkansas will be a huge focus of Republican efforts in the fall with Berry and Rep. Vic Snyder (D) retiring and Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) in deep trouble as she seek re-election.

Chris has been acting strange as of late. He's starting to take a few liberals to task and ask some tough questions If he keeps this up him and Keefums are gonna end up in a cat-fight in an MSNBC restroom.

3 words:  Pay Per View! 

(can you imagine the bitch slapping, hair pulling, and bra snapping that would ensue?)

To start - only three votes are needed.  Wexler is gone & can't be replaced until Apr.  Stupak & Chao will probably vote against the watered down abortion provisions in the Senate bill.

Now you're working against the Dims, Peplosi sheltered and let vote NO last time.  Count some of these, given the "mood", as NO again.  There's work to do, but it's not insurmountable.

People are truly suffering out there.  I would love it if someone in the media would do an expose of the high falutin' life-style of Barry and Mo.  We are talking about a man who's policies are causing immeasurable pain out there and he and his wife are living high off the gubamint hog (the 8.9 million dollar estate that they stayed at during Christmas costs $4000/night to rent, Michelle's prominently photographed in all kinds of designer outfits--last week's Photo of the Day on WhiteHouse.gov featured her in a $2,763 designer coat.  Someone analyzed five recent photos of her.  The average cost of  a pair of her shoes was 700.00 (5 different pairs).  If people knew how much money the Obamas spent on themselves let alone what they are trying to spend on expanding government, people would be incensed.  Especially since they try to spin themselves as these ordinary Joes who can feel your pain and are always talking about how we all need to sacrifice. 

It would be epic and worth every penny to see.

Ball/boob dippingly good, clean fun.  My money's on Chris, btw!

If Morris is right, (a stretch, I grant you) it's the House that we need to concentrate on.

They only made it by three votes the last time, but how many of those were Liberals who will be placated by that signed letter? Are there enough nervous Blue Dogs who care about being re-elected and Pro-Lifers to stop it?

 The problem is that there are so many boards and panels and administrators in this mess that, should they pass this, against the will of so many, they will not care about being reelected. If the voters, in their wrath, turn them out, they will just get jobs as administrators or chairing the panel that says Peter cannot have the expensive drugs that keep him alive.

 Someone tell me that a Democrat Pol wouldn't just love to have the power of life and death. Tell me that. then let me tell you you're full of bovine exrement.

Thanks for the VDH link.  Great article!  Basically, Obama lies because he is inherently an inveterate, unrepentant, serial liar.  It's seared into his character and who he is.  Heh!   So yeah, it's not his fault.  He's a victim of himself.

Peter,

The solution is simple.  Never vote for a Democrat ever again in your life.

No charge.

Can you imagine the outrage that would have occurred if the Bushes would have been traveling like the Bamster and taking luxe vacations?  Or if Laura would have been wearing the haute couture outfits Michelle is constantly being photographed in?  There would have been unhinged, scalding rage.  (And that was during a good economy, but the meme would have been "we are a country involved in 2 wars, this spending is unconscienable and the president should be staying in D.C. to take care of all the issues at hand.")  In fact, I recall lefty outrage over the audacity of his daughter getting married and having a "fancy wedding."

"Can you imagine the outrage"

I recall they did, and Bush cut out golf.

Hmmm....From Hotair:

“Stuart Rothenberg, a political analyst who follows Congressional races, said a report he will release Monday will count 58 Democratic House seats in play, up from 47 in December. The number of Republican seats in play has remained steady at 14 over the same period, he said. At the same time, Democrats expect more of their incumbents to retire, which could put additional seats at risk.”

"Can you imagine the outrage"

Like the outrage when Nancy Reagan wore nice expensive outfits and we had this new phenomenom called homelessness?  They had telethons on HBO and everything.  Yet, there was Nancy, dressed nicely.  I'm assuming that homeless problem is solved now since we don't hear about it anymore.

So then, how do we trust that any bill we have read is the same bill we read being signed and passed if a bill can be "adjusted" after it is signed.  Wouldn't that be a sort of major league scandal?

"did i read that right"

I assume, after it's passed and signed, they'll pass a budget reconciliation bill.  That's what will address the changes.

Money bomb them now and send a message to the Republicans as well.

Marco Rubio for senate in Florida

Doug Hoffman in New York 23rd.

Davis Harmer in Calif. 11th.

Patrick Hughes in Illinois. URGENT

These are all conservatives running in primaries against machines. 

I'll bet Harry Reid uses replica watches, that bastard!

(and don't get me started about Nancy Pelosi's MBT shoes...)

113 Who the hell is Max Blumenthal? 

Sydney's hate child.

"Comrades! The insurrection of five kulak [peasant] districts should be pitilessly suppressed. The interests of the whole revolution require this because 'the last decisive battle' with the kulaks is now under way everywhere. An example must be demonstrated.

Well well well. First they take a bipartisen bill dealing with funding of some stuff that passed the house with overwhelming support. Deleted everything in it and added healthscam to it so they can calim the bill "originated" in the HOuse for the purposes of satisfying the Consitution.

Then the get the house to pass the bill a second time without going to committee. The sign the bill into law.  An honest court would throw the bullshit flag on the obvious lie of the bill "orignating in the House" and stike the entire thing as unconsituional and fraudulent.

But needless to that piece of an abortion, they plan on coming back with all the more liberal crap the House wants such as the so-called "public option" and then pass that under reconciliation. 

Now if I was in the House I would never believe that knowing how easy it is to tie up a bill in reconcilliation.

Most of the Dems in the House want no part of this crap until after the elections in which they are praying that they can hold on. I would score the potential for succedss on this ploy as very small. On top of that, it demonstrates the utter contempt that Obama and the Dem leadership have for the average voter.

The "purple" districts are already gone for the Dems. If Obama, Reid, and Pelosi keep this up going in to the elections half of the blue districts will be gone as well.  There very well could be a 100 seat turnover in the House as the Fox consultant said yesterday.

Don't ever doubt that it will pass.  The nuts on the left - Odummer's base - are demanding it.  And, he has to have something to say when he gives his State of the Union on Wednesday.  Besides, he believes that it is what "the people" - you know, we people that cannot think for ourselves - really want this only we don't know it because Marxists always believe that those in charge always know what's best for everyone.

Also, if you read the financial news regarding the status of the federal cash flow, there is none...and we can't have those living off the government - another large part of the base supporters - not having their (really our) money.  Those natives would then become restless.

 Remember that the "fees" (really taxes) are to be collected immediately even though the benefits, if there are any, are not be realized for three years.

On top of that, China has made it perfectly known that they will not continue to purchase any more debt and the rest of the "foreign investors" are not real happy with the return on the treasury bonds.  Check out how much they have gone down in the last two days - along with the stock market.

Listen to what every one Odopey's people said on the "Sunday shows" today.  Health care is still item one.  He wants it passed so that he will be able to "move on" to jobs for his wonderful speech on Wednesday.

Don't every underestimate "taking advantage of a crisis" per Saul Alinksy.  The crisis in this case was the election last Tuesday.

We peasants had better start getting with the program!  If you think Obamunist is going to change his direction, think again!

Don't discount this story because it came from Dick Morris. It is all over the net from several sources. So it is a story that Obama and Pelosi want out there.

Whether or not they really are going to do it is a different story. The obviously want to do it but whether or not they can is debatable.

Democrats are like serial rapists.

We've told them repeatedly that WE DON'T WANT WHAT THEY'RE OFFERING.

They insist that we DO want it, that we KNOW we want it, that we really should be grateful for all their attention because we're really not that attractive of a nation anyway, and that we ought to just sit back and try to enjoy it, because we're going to get it whether we want it or not.

You know, kind of like what Bill Clinton told Juanita Broadrick as he raped her.

Hey, America! "Put some ice on it."

You know what drives me crazy about the WH talking points regarding Obamacare?  Blaming the insurance companies for rising premiums!!! 

I might be wrong, but I believe in most States, premiums are controlled by an Insurance Commissioner.  Insurance companies do not arbitrarily raise rates.  They have to be approved by the respective States.  And companies have to jump through a lot of hoops to get that rise in premiums.  After spending months and hours and hours of time, it is not unusual for a State to turn down the rise in rates.

So, how is this the fault of the insurance companies?  I would think it is the fault of State who allows the rise in rates.  The insurance companies only request what they feel is required for them.  Keeps a lot of actuaries in business, I will tell you that!

Does anyone think that this convoluted process is actually going to pull anything off?  Does anyone think that the will to power of Nancy Pelosi is going to pull this out when members of her caucus are retiring so as not to face certain defeat?  When those who are remaining are looking at some way of holding onto their seats?

When Barbara Boxer is looking at a serious challenge?  When Beau Biden isn't going to try for Joe's old senate seat and will hunker down in the office he now holds?

I see this as a desperation move by the Dems, right into the face of reality.

BUT, BUT, BUT....

I was told that electing Scott Brown would irrevocably, undeniably stop ObamaCare.

When I suggested that maybe voting for yet another "Big Government" Republican might not be the best thing, or that it was continuing RINO business as usual, I was called a "Concern Troll" (whatever that is) and was BLAMED a priori for the passage of ObamaCare even tho I don't even live in Massachusetts. 

How is this possible?  I thought all our problems were over with the election of Scott Brown pseudo-conservative messiah.

And, now I find out that you guys knew about this Reconciliation possibility all along, and even expected it?

How could you possibly know such a thing before the election of Scott Brown, if the election of Scott Brown is the only thing that could cause the Dems to consider Reconciliation?

How did so many of you know what "Reconciliation" was or how the Dems might possibly want to use it?  Especially if the election of Scott Brown is the only thing that would cause the Dems to consider it?

#32 GK:

I doubt that amnesty can be passed in the middle of a recession.  Just. Not. Possible.  The Democrats would be dynamiting their coalition even worse than they did with health care.

Example:  You want to see p.o.'d unions?  Try this.
