Comment on Predict the health care vote, win a book by Brian H

Good luck with your pic, German. If you win request the German version of Jason’s book.

Glad to see your still following the goings on in the USA. What’s the take on POTUS Obama in Germany these days? Are his German approval ratings sinking as fast as his American ratings?

I expect nothing more from Democrats and have grown to never be surprised by their antics or whatever they attempt to do. A lesson on how much less the “lesser of two evils” is has been delievered. Unfortunately, it will take decades to reverse the self inflicted damages we have caused to ourselves and our children to endure because of our aloofness to believe both the parties are one in the same and that their was no difference between the two.

Yes – 222
No – 213

Can we do a contest asking us to predict….

how much our insurance premiums will go up?

how long our wait to see our doctors will increase?

how much this will add to the deficit over the next 20 years?

how many Republicans wish they could have a mulligan on their temper-tantrum votes?

how bad the DNC will have their butts handed to them in November?

You might be on to something here, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a strategy on their part.

Interesting that this guy is “pro-life”; yet this bill is anything but that. (Grandma’s got cancer? Too bad–she’s too old to treat. Bobby needs to go to the emergency room? Have fun waiting in line.)

I fully believe that Stupak, knowingly or not, was a strategy by the Democrats for the last week to divert attention away from what is in this bill.

Stupak always acknowledged that he wanted this bill passed – in a bad way – and that he was trying everything to get it done. His words today verified this fact.

He WAS the FOX news cycle for the past week and essentially continued to say the same thing – I want this bill passed.

FOX news took this Democrat bate hook, line and sinker!

I hope FOX news learns from their mistake.

Does anyone besides me suspect that the “protesters” who yelled racial slurs were plants?

I find it hard to believe that anyone would try to torpedo their own protest by doing something that stupid.

But, I find it VERY easy to believe that the democRATS would pay someone to pretend to be a protester and yell things that would be harmful to the cause.

217-215 passing

Holy hell and revolution will ensue.

My Fantasy Pick – 215 voting for it, and the measure failing, in what will forever be labeled as the “Pelosi Charge” (akin to Pickett’s Charge on day three of Gettysburg)

Good grief, this is no time for levity, I am sick about this hostile takeover of America by an Elite and mentally ill few. I predict Obama is indicted before the vote. At least that’s my fervent hope.

I hope I am wrong, but I fear
it will pass, 218-213

I also predict a rage among people and
such litigation among the states, that
our system descends into chaos for a few months.

I think that to get the home loans from banks you must have a good reason. But, once I've got a student loan, just because I was willing to buy a bike.

I would be THRILLED if I’m wrong, but I agree with Eden… it’ll pass by one vote.

Any others who might’ve voted yes will be “allowed” to vote no to save their worthless hides in November (not that it’ll work).

Idiots: 216
Patriots: 215
America: Zero

I think Pelosi and the BO team will do enough arm twisting that it will pass: 219-216.

Enough states are passing statutes that prohibit federal mandated health care so we can watch as it goes to the SCOTUS.

I’d say 214-217 to fail then The Obamanation signs an executive order deeming it have passed and signs the White House version into law.

I’m guessing (hoping) that Pelosi is bluffing in order to get the remaining undecideds to move her way. The CW has been that they will only call a vote when they have the numbers. Thus the big bluff. The logic being – if they think it is going to pass anyway, then the Dem holdouts will want to at least get some Dem money for their reelection fight. If they vote no they get nothing.
So: It fails 217-214.

Comment on Obama meets a real reporter by Whodat

I was sooooooo proud of Bret! Of course, the entire gang at Fox and the business plan they work from is inspiring to me, but Bret set the bar as far up as it can be.

He did not growl nor bark, he just used facts, well researched, well prepared, to extract pounds of political flesh from he who is so worshiped by the MSMs.

Bret gives us all hope and inspiration. I am determined to be a better voice for conservative values as a result of watching that pro work…

I think this will only be voted on if and when they have enough votes…so if they’re voting it will pass, by just a squeek.

218-217
