The progressive caucus probably won't whip its 79 members to vote for or against the healthcare bill, Grijalva said. Two of them -- Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y. (who isn't running again in November) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio -- voted no on the House version of the bill last fall.

Again, it's a soft "no", but who it is coming from is a biggie.  And the above paragraph from it tells me there will be other progressives to vote no this time--possibly besides the above two.

<sup>Raúl began his public career as a community organizer when he joined with several other advocates to start El Rio Community Health Center. During his time at El Rio, Raúl worked with other activists to "encourage" local governments to "invest" in older and minority neighborhoods. He helped organize "neighborhood empowerment efforts" that prompted the city of Tucson to expand services to the south and west sides...

...From 1974 to 1986, Raúl served on the Tucson Unified School District.  He was a hands-on board member who worked to increase funding and support for public education, and who advocated on behalf of teacher, employee and civil rights...

...Since his election to Congress in 2002, Raúl has worked to improve the quality of life for working families by promoting minimum wage increases, supporting legislation to prevent intimidation, and pushing to help employees organize and represent themselves in the workplace.</sup>

So, if a guy could get pictures and names of these clowns at the UN doing this, which you know the FBI has, and if they were to, you know. bash the mother fuckers upside the head in a Manhattan alley with a 2X4 and watch their brains dribble into the gutter have a talk with them when they go out on the Manhattan town, would that be a crime?

I'd love to know just who those useful idiots were standing behind him.  All the doctors I work with are in absolute agita over all of this crap.  They've been on an horrible anxiety yo-yo all year.  I hope someone like Michelle Malkin or another resourceful blogger gets the 411 on these alleged "doctors" who were there in support of Obama's bill.  (The nurses were most certainly all SEIU members, so that's a no-brainer).  I'm thinking some of those docs were AMA tools. 

It's amazing how the media isn't calling out Harry Reid for lying at the Health Care Summit ("No one's talking about reconciliation")--if he was a Republican, his lies would be on an endless loop.  It's also disgusting that the media isn't calling out Obama for his own hypocrisy on reconciliation (Rush played 8 different clips of him decrying reconciliation, even when he was Presidential Candidate Obama, saying his health care plan would need 60 votes).  Democrats are evil, stinking liars. 

Oh, and I love how Obama called out Eric Cantor for resorting to cheap political props when he brought the actual 2 thousand plus paged bills to the "Health Care Summit", and then surrounded himself with supposed health care workers as he delivered his presser today.  Rush said all they needed was a person who just died because they didn't have health care up there on that stage with Teh Bamster.  I'm pissed off!

44 Beck is talking about 4% of the population not having internet and it is funny.  But seriously why can't they tether their phone to get the internet onto their laptop?

45 Is it possible that we can keep going round and round with this until November?   As long as bambi keeps making this a front page issue it will stay fresh on people's minds and make 2010 the bloodbath we're all hoping and praying for.

But that makes no sense.  My lib/dem friends routinely let the latest greatest tech and then they donate their old tech to these websites so the phones and laptops and such can be recycled and given to someone in another poorer country.   So, if this second hand (not really cause these people replace stuff like every 6 months) tech is going to other poor countries why would they do that if people in our own country don't have the tech?  Why isn't it going to the 4% in our country then?

58

I'd love to know just who those useful idiots were standing behind him. 

The last time he did this rediculous white coat schtick, they published the names and states of the doctors. I looked up about half of them. They were either university employees, non-profit employees, or black. The black docs were all very young and thus were probably more idealogical than realistic.

Essentially they are lefty hacks who couldn't get a decent job

It's sort of a vague memory for me, but I think it was like two weeks ago or something. I think it lasted like an hour, then we were back to this crap.

Anyhow...one thing that no one seems to be talking about is the fact that Obama wants to charge you for ten years of health care and only give you six. And he wants to start charging for it before you get anything.

If I had bigger balls I'd be praying he got his way on this. People tend to remember an un-lubed royal ass fucking.

The petulance and stupidity of liberals never ceases to amaze.

Do the extremist-left (aka "progressives") Congresscritters not understand that the bill is just an incremental step towards single payer socialist health care, or are they just too impatient to get there through incremental steps?

They could've passed a bill that would reliably lead to socialist healthcare simply by toning down the abortion language and some of the more nefarious provisions.  A bill that would still impose restrictions on private insurers and create a public "option" that could (and likely would) be expanded later into single payer could've overcome a filibuster. 

Instead it ended up a convoluted mess that pleased nobody.  I shudder to think of the damage the Dems could've pulled off with a filibuster-proof majority in Congress and Obama in the White House were they not so short-sighted and stupid.

95 Looks good to me.

96 We know a number of doctors, and with the exception of one (who oddly enough is a Cuban refugee), they're all conservatives and deeply concerned about what this bill will do to the country.  The Cuban refugee doc loves Barry.  We love our doc friend, but there is no reasoning with him.  And yeah, he blames everything on Booosh.  And he actually believes that our healthcare is among the worst evah, anywhere.  Sigh.

98 The coming unemployment numbers are not O/T.  They are expecting something really bad and I notice the media picked up on that ridiculous "winter storm" meme.

SEIU gave Teh Bamster a lot of money to get elected.  They are an absolutely vile, evil, corrupt organization.  Unfortunately, they represent the nurses at our hospital.  Our hospital was trying to cut the pension benefit (they cannot afford it) and wanted to change it to a 403B instead.  SEIU was threatening to go on strike (which was just absurd as the economy was turning sour at the time), and none of the rank and file non-nutter union nurses supported this.  The Union worked out a deal where only Union members continue to get the defined pension benefit.  Non-union workers (like me cause I'm grandfathered in, now we're closed shop) got their retirements switched over.  The hospitals in my area are deathly afraid of SEIU (which seems to represent the majority of nurses in the majority of hospitals).

"There are blogs who are saying that I'm leaving because there are charges of harrassment against my staff," Massa said. "Do I or have I ever used salty language when I'm angry — especially in the privacy of my inner office or even at home? Yes, I have. And I have apologized to those where it's appropriate. But those kind of articles, unsubstantiated without fact or backing, are a symptom of what's wrong with this city."

Massa said he recently underwent his third major cancer recurrence scare, in December.

A 20-year Navy veteran who is married and has children, he was originally diagnosed with non-HogkinÂ’s lymphoma while he served in the military.

“I'm a very salty guy and a very direct guy, and I run at about 100 miles per hour," he said. "My doctors have made it clear to me that I can no longer do that."

 Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., the co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,

This idiot has got to be from Tucson. If you want to speak to the most retared people on the planet....go to Tucson! If you want your Son or Daughter to end up as a un-educated brainwashed indoctrinated Leftist Commie Scumbag send them to the University of Arizona in Tucson.

If he isn't from Tucson, then he is from the NorthEast corner (refer to Tucson)!

"All Obama is running on now is that if you don't support this, you are against him personally."

Yo.

146 144 running, this is what I'd been seeing all day. that he was taking a leave of absence, which there is no such thing in the house rules as far as I could tell.

of course, Cholly's shown time and again, that rules are for the little people

 

Yeah, Unclefacts, I took a quick looksee on teh web, and I didn't see anything other than his "temporarily no longer being Chairman of Ways and Means". 

147 Massa's a dirtbag, he ran a very nasty campaign and now he wants us to think that him sexually harassing a staffer is no biggie.

yeah, keep electing those liberal democrats new york, it's working out SO FUCKING WELL SO FAR

148 Some Republican needs to stand up and dare the Dem's to do officially what they are right now doing stealthily.  Repeal the filibuster.  Let them know that they aren't going to pass this piece of shit with 50+1 votes in the Senate and then expect the Republicans to get to 60 votes to overturn it. If the Dems pass this monstrosity the Republicans will have 50 Senate votes most likely, hopefully 51 by 2011.  At that point with the taxes and regulation Obamacare will be very unpopular (the benefits won't even have kicked in), unemployment will spike and the Republicans will be coming off of a drubbing of the Dems.  Then they repeal the filibuster, repeal Obamacare and dare Obama to veto the repeal.  If he repeals it he'll lose in 2012 and whoever's President then can preside over the actual execution. 

I realize that doing away with the filibuster will have pretty drastic unseen and easily foreseeable negative consequences but it will have been the Democrats call.

"yeah, keep electing those liberal democrats new york, it's working out SO FUCKING WELL SO FAR"

Works for me.  All you Blue states and cities.  Keep doin what you do best.  Failin.

I await you w/ open arms.

151 Michael Savage doing a very good job of using Amity Schlays book "the forgotten man" as a blue print for what was done to the chicken butchers in Brooklyn and what is being done to health care now.  Yep, they will be regulated to death, you won't be able to survive if you are a small business dealing with health care.  Savage cannot understand why people aren't getting this and are not furious and saying so 

BTW, heard that BO sent out two emails today on health care, instructing them to push their friends and family to push the congress and senate peeps to vote this in already.

152 On the off chance that the Dems can't pass this thing (and I know that's a very slim chance), who will Teh Bamster throw under the bus first?

153

Fair and balanced at Fox:

GOP is turning to a familiar tactic in last-ditch effort to stall health care bill: make noise in town hall meetings, media

No bias in that wording is there?

Can you imagine if the Bush administration did this crap?  Oh the outrage and outcry there would be!  We don't have a President, we have a community agitator, grievance monger in chief.  Unbelievable.

If Nancy manages to get enough votes in the house to pass the Senate bill, there won't be a reconciliation bill.   Obama will have to sign the Senate bill passed in the House before they can do reconciliation.   The House may come up with one, but then they have to pass that, too, before it goes to the Senate.   Will there be 51 votes in the Senate to change a bill, (actually add more to it, and take some things away), that barely squeaked thru the Senate the first time?   Odumbass does not care about anyone, but himself.  If those idiots are stupid enough to trust him on this, then they're more stupid than we think, and that's saying something.

Still, I won't breathe easy until this carcass is stinkin' & maggot infested.

157 This was the option if the summit failed to show Republicans as obstructionists I guess. Throw a couple of bones in to make it look like "concession" and keep ramming it through.

Those assholes lost me when they endorsed McCain up and down during the primaries. I don't know what's going on there.

159 message from Obama to voters:

160 A whole bunch of Democrats claimed they wouldn't vote for the health care bill in the House last time around, Merkley from Oregon claimed he wouldn't because it wasn't big and extensive enough. He voted for it anyway, they all did.

161 #164
not all of the progressives voted for it last time.

Kucinich is a total kook, but he stands by his kookiness and won't vote for anything less than the public option. I give him credit for that.

But theres maybe only 6 or 7 true-blood liberals that actually believe the bullshit they spew, so don't count on a progressive block to the HC.

162 If Nancy manages to get enough votes in the house to pass the Senate bill, there won't be a reconciliation bill.   Obama will have to sign the Senate bill passed in the House before they can do reconciliation. 

Wait -- once teh One signs it, doesn't the bill become law?

163 I'll trade one RINO for two DINO's any day.

Wow, Ace, you're on a roll. For three consecutive days now, you and Drew have been putting up consistently interesting articles here ..., and whoa, they've been well written, too. Kudos.

You're almost there, guy. In few more years, you'll be ready to apply for a  G.E.D.  

165 Evening all.  I hate to be spoil sport but what makes any of us think that these left wing dems that say they are going to, or are inclined to vote against this mess will actually do so?  They know this will be their only shot at getting any kind bill through as in November they may actually lose the house altogether and along with it any chance at getting their changes in.  It could just be smoke to try to convince conservatives that they have more nay votes then they actually do.  I suppose that it could be a pressure tactic to try to get the exteme liberal version back in.  Thoughts?

166

"You're almost there, guy. In few more years, you'll be ready to apply for a  G.E.D. "

GED?  Git er done?

167 They are lying. All of them. Lying sacks of crap. Obama and Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic Socialists of America now known as the Progressives will do whatever they can to rush this now as they know this is their only shot. Get on the phones now! Why are we not continuing to slam them with calls, etc. and yell at them like at the townhalls? I hate them all.

Nancy will do a  private strip-tease, complete with

pasties, fishnets, and stiletto heels.....for all the

"undecideds".  Rumor has it that Michael Moore

will get it on film.  I'm getting my 3-D glasses out

of the desk drawer for this blockbuster.

170 Why are we not continuing to slam them with calls, etc. and yell at them like at the townhalls?

We are, they're just not paying attention and the legacy media is conveniently... also not paying attention.

172 Obama's aberration is the biggest entitlement program in our history and it completely removes your right to choose your doctor and will determine whether you live or die based on the cost effectiveness of saving your life. You will be forced to pay for this disgusting garbage and if you don't you will be disciplined and fined. And seniors . . . watch out because Medicare will be destroyed and you'll be lucky if you can find a doctor that will provide you care. Only a hardened communist or a fool could love this beast and it must be stopped at all costs. Don't believe what the left is touting because they will lie and cheat to pass this legislation and gain total control over your lives. Question every part of it . . . get straight answers and accept nothing short of the truth because your lives and liberties depend on it.

Even the retiring Brian Baird -- almost counted as a gimme no-to-yes vote, because he's retiring and can afford to stick his thumb in the eye of his constituents -- isn't on board quite yet:

I see this rationale a lot, but it doesn't make sense - why would a retiring representative go and slap his constituents?  Why would he act any differently than he has already acted throughout his career?  Why would a retiring representative make it difficult for his party to retain that seat?

174 they don't have the votes or they would have already voted.
