Sam Farr (D-CA) just said that without reform people will be trapped on Medicare forever.

How ever will we survive if we have to be trapped in a different entitlement program

Healthcare debate:

Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D) just compared the Socialist Healthcare Bill to the Civil Rights Act. Voting against Healthcare would be like voting against the Civil Rights Act?

I really hate the Democrats.

"every year, nearly 100,000 children are killed by electrical shock, for the good of America the time has come to ban electricity in America forever!"

"Mr. Speaker, if you outlaw electricity, then only outlaw's will have electricity!"

"It's for the children!"

"outlaws!"

"children!"

"outlaws!"

I just heard on Sirius Radio that people in the peanut gallery had to be removed by the Sgt.-at-Arms --- hope there is a CSPAN clip of that.

This will go on all day/night. Time to pop a beer and make some popcorn. Already have a butt on the smoker. So thats 9 hours worth of free time.

 

[Juan McCain]

Motion to reconsider passes.

Ryan (R-WI) motion to reconsider . . . vote to "table it" passes . . .

23 Dems voted with all Republicans NO on this rule - not such a bad sign.

We are watching these shenanigans . . . at least 23 Dems may get re-elected for caring to not BS the public on these rules.

When will the final vote be?

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

Ron Paul's Facebook says 11pm.

 

[Bruno]

This is a sad day for freedom in America.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

When will the final vote be?

Which one? lol -- there are probably going to be three 'final' votes. As Phill said, it will likely go on past midnight.

 

[phill4paul]

WTF is this we want Americans to have the same benefits as Congress members. Are we really to believe that the coverage will be equal to Congresses coverage.

LOLZ!

 

[Bruno]

"or a box of donuts"

Slaughter is a witch!

 

[Juan McCain]

When will the final vote be?

Congressman Nunes (R-CA) said on CSPAN Washington Journal this morning that there are 209 confirmed NOs
(only 7 more needed to kill the bill) with 28 undecided . . .

So Obama and Pelosi have some vote buying to do . . .

when the votes are bought . . . they will vote

 

[GunnyFreedom]

there's no clock on a point of information! WTF, over??!?
