Here is a quick message from a friend’s email to me.
Friends:
Congress is staying in Washington this weekend, in hopes of voting on the healthcare bill Sunday. [Ed:(Notice I am not calling it a “vote.”)]
Can you join us Saturday at noon for a rally at the Capitol?
It’s in Upper Senate Park, on the north side of the Capitol building.

What is happening in Washington State will not stay in Washington State.
And not just Walgreens either.
Like, we should be surprised anymore.
Steny Hoyer, D-MD, apparently doesn’t remember his tirade – or doesn’t care that he comes off as a complete hypocrite presently over the “Slaughter Rule.”
About to be a one track trainwreck.
Oh, let’s include the Speaker on this issue as well. Just 4 to 5 years ago in fact.

Actually, more like – DENIED ANY ANSWERS AT ALL at the Arcadia University event. You know, where the POTUS went to speak about his plan for Healthcare to – a – select – invited – group – of – citizens – with – no – Press – allowed – inside.
By POTUS Security no less.
How’s that Hope And Change working, folks? Still think this is America?
And now, the lighter side. According to CBS, POTUS might have to waterboard the Dems to get HC passed. HEH.
Now. Let’s put this POTUS in proper perspective. He is math challenged. Seriously.
With apologies to Obi Wan.
All pretense is gone. Long live the fibbers. … Or not.

Let’s see now, POTUS is going to be in St. Louis tomorrow to push his agenda in a closed to the general public meeting with select invited citizens.
Is this how our taxpayer money is to be used now? To speak not to us, directly, about such a major change to our economy and personal health care? I want my money back.
The next ramming event is scheduled for November 2, 2010. And it is our turn.

It could be as early as the 16th, but likely this month according to various sources.
This newly re-crafted 2,000+ page bill is likely to add back in support for abortion.
My message is – scrap it. Either start fresh, or not at all.

The real world view, as expressed by Dan Riehl – in a most direct and blunt description of the nuclear option and what it means.
Now he knows how the rest of us feel about this problem as dictated by the President.
Oh, and let’s not forget. Congress, too. Most of them anyway. But not all.

First, a little bit of history:
1997
Senate failed to end a Democratic filibuster designed to force direct votes on campaign finance legislation.
2006
Justice Alito Nomination (check here and here)
Now. Let’s look at WHY Senator Mikulski is now FOR filibuster reform.
2010
Bills approved under reconciliation cannot be blocked via filibuster and need just a bare 51-vote majority to win passage.
Both Maryland Senators are FOR a single payer healthcare system.
Ask yourself – what will become of YOUR current insurance carrier down the road.
And how long, or short, will that time be?
Well, that depends.
If you vote against earlier versions of a bill, and a second time but then become “undecided” – perhaps all you need is to get your brother a judgeship. And call it paid in full.
Let’s ask Jim Matheson of Utah.
After all this, I think we are all going to need Depends.
