Democrats To Kill Obamacare?

Now we see why Barack Obama wants a straight up or down vote for his health care takeover plan. He just doesn’t have the support to do it the right way.

Ignoring the American people, ignoring Republicans-and the Americans voters they represent, ignoring anybody and anything that stand in the way of his 21st century Bolshevik revolution, Barack Obama has indicated that he wants a straight up or down vote for his health care plan. That would be great for him, since Democrat socialists hold majorities in both the house and senate. That isn’t the way this republic works though, no matter how hard Obama tries to change that. If he tries to do it the right way, the way where representatives of the American people-even if they are in the majority, can have a voice, this thing dies on the vine.

Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) has indicated that he and 11 other Democrats will not support the senate version of the health care bill, namely because the provisions for funding abortion are too weak. He wants guarantees that abortion will not be funded or he and his pals will withdraw their support. Once you add the number of Dems that have retired, the ones who are on the proverbial chopping block in November, and the ones who have just had a change of heart, Nancy Pelosi will have a difficult task ahead of her to secure another 216 votes for a senate bill that many Dems are unhappy with.

Abortion is but one issue of contention. Rumors floating around Capitol Hill are that as many as 20 Democrats are ready to bill this bill to rest. We know that the senate will use reconciliation to get it through, so the real test is in the house, and Stupak has basically confirmed what Paul Ryan said a few days ago: they don’t have the votes.

That isn’t to say that they can’t get the votes. We know that the White House is busy buying votes, and with backroom deals already part of the package, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a few more. But how many more deals could they make? 12-20 nays is quite a mountain to climb. Sure, they could change the language of the bill to make Stupak happy, but at the same time it would anger other Democrats. Pelosi is now stuck between a rock and a few hard places. She can’t make her own party happy, she has no Republican support, nor does she have the support of the American people. The only one on her side here is Barack Obama, and I don’t think that they are actually friends. They’re just both doing their duty for the love of Karl.

Well, they can drag this thing out for months more, but at the same time, it will slow down the rest of the Obama nightmare train of legislation. It will have no effect on the behind the scenes maniacy that is disembowling this country from the inside out. Another post. Previous posts. Future posts. On the legislative front though the traitors that have oozed into Washington are finding out that is isn’t that easy to blatantly ignore the will of the people. An aspect of this whole process that just doesn’t get enough attention. These people are ignoring us. Yes, they hear us, they know what we want, but instead of really being representative they label us as tea baggers Nazis, astroturf, un-American, and the list goes on. I’ve said it before, the old tactic of accusing somebody else of what you are, and then watching them scramble to defend themselves, effectively cutting off real debate. That didn’t happen this time. A big thanks to Barry, Harry and Nan. Without you three stooges, America might still be asleep at the switch. We’re wide awake now.
