Debate for National Health Care Starts on the House Floor @ 1030 EST / 0730PST 11/7

[low preference guy]

OK. If this pass... it sucks, I know. We are going the way of the Soviet Union.

But maybe it will have an unintended beneficial consequence: It is going to polarize the country and Moderate Republicans might no longer be tolerated. Romney and other bailout guys won't have a chance to lead this party.

So maybe an unintended consequence of this would be a more libertarian GOP, hopefully PURGED OF NEOCONS.

I want to cut my ears off listening to these pro-Healthcare-bill callers into CSPAN.

That's what the mute button is for my friend. I especially love how mine has one on the front side of my laptop. It's my best friend!

If the Stupak amendment dies, could the bill theoretically die? I hope these greedy progressives don't concede and try to keep the abortion provision. They could splinter their support.

Stupak is going to pass 41+ dems voted for it - we loose pro-life Dems... but might gain more lefty Dems voting against it....

were screwed.

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

I just watched it back. I was correct. It is a pilot program to test the feasibility of using schools as immunization centers. That's why Boehner said right after something to the effect of, "don't we already do that?".

I stand corrected, sir!

Looking like Stupak could pass 202/173 right now time is over but 56 left to vote

 

[catdd]

Well we're fucked. I'm going to bed.

actually that is not good.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Like how the voice vote was /clearly/ a "no" on Stupak, but recorded vote turns out to be a "yes"???

stupid politicians vote one way when their name is not recorded, but entirely different when their name is recorded. VOTE THE BUMS OUT!

 

[GunnyFreedom]

actually that is not good.

agree. makes it far more likely for PelosiCare to pass.

5 min vote on Boehner now, and PelosiCare next

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

64 Dems voted for the anti-abortion amendment. One Rep voted present. Sure wish this was the NEXT vote!

cute how the abortion amendment gets 15 min (and kept open) and the GOP alt is 5 min...

Ignore the fact that it hasn't been paid for.

That is a FIRST in my experience!

Was that a Pro Ron Paul supporter that called in?

Sure sounded like it.

 

[messana]

Gold is probably going to jump another $1000 by tomorrow while our dollar drops 50%.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

LOL wonder who the Republican "1" is? haha!

 

[1836er]

looks like one Republican is voting against the Boehner amendment... I wonder who that would be...?

I'm guessing that Republican "1" represents, well, almost all of Liberty Forest. I mean...the forums. I mean..err..who's forums are these again?
