Are ya watching C-Span and the cable talk shows?? Looks like Bart Stupak got his wish and there will be an executive order signed by the president assuring Bart and Co. the abortion language is of their satisfaction, enough so to VOTE YES on the bill! It is being reported by our dear Luke Russert the number of yes votes is 220! I need a valium....
Ready to go!... Yes it is going to happen.. I am so happy I have to sit on my hands to keep from clapping. ..lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so damn worn out from arguing with Linda I don't know if I have the energy to be excited!
ReplyDeleteMichell Bachmann is on MSMBC crying and lying saying the bill still pays for abortions. What a nut job. She is a true BIMBO.
ReplyDeleteSince Bachmann is a living example of an abortion gone wrong, it's no wonder this is a subject with which she's obsessed.
ReplyDeleteDamn, no wonder it takes so long to get anything done in Washington.
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be tomorrow am before they vote.
Tom: You're so "right."
J: lol.
Wonderif this dimwit will be re-elected.
You know, I wish there was a way to make ANYONE who was against this at all to never reap ANY benefits to improved reform due to "pre-existing fear" as a pre-existing condition.
ReplyDeleteSame as Social Security and Medicare. If you are against it, you shouldn't be able to benefit from it's use.
By the way Sue, I'm not fired up, I'm just SO pissed at seeing cowards everywhere so fucking afraid of every little thing that they really don't understand.
ReplyDeleteTo not be afraid is what partly makes us liberal by definition.
Yay Annette!
ReplyDeleteLeslie I'm worn out too and half listening to the TV, that means I missed Bachmann crying, Tom!! Damn bet it was funny!
It's all so stupid, this abortion wording. I am not pro-abortion like the right claims liberals are, but never will this country be rid of ALL abortions. Lets be realistic.
C, I have said that too, those opposed and have acted so horribly with their lies and obstruction should be banned from partaking in the benefits of this reform.
What they are afraid of is a black dem president getting credit for the most important legislation since Social Security! They are balistic!
JJ, the woman is a horrid example of humanity!
ReplyDeleteIs there some way that all the far-right loons who think this is a Communist take-over and Obama is the second Stalin, and all the far-left loons who think it's a corporate sell-out and Obama is the second Bush, can go off somewhere and fight each other and leave us sane people alone?
ReplyDeleteI WISH Infidel! I have said it before they all need to find a deserted island in the South Pacific!
ReplyDeleteSince we're Nazis I think we should put 'em in concentration camps.
ReplyDeleteRep. Nunes (R-CA) has defended this outrageous behavior. Boehner and Steele are actually condemning. It's only been a year. Too little too late, morons.
Crowd figures on Fox & other conservative shows are 20,000 to 30,000!
where are these crowds? Waiting outside the Capitol for the vote to happen?
ReplyDeletePalin is on O'Reily telling us what's in the bill, LOLOL!! She is so fuckin stupid!!!
Wow, I just heard Schultz (sp?) from Fla. What a dynamic speaker she is. I think she's going to be someone to watch.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to pull a Harry Truman, and go to bed early tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I wake up...just like Harry on the day after the 1948 election....I'll read not one, but two local newspapers, charting the triumph of President Obama and the Democrats...son of a gun; you did it!!!!
And then I'll read of the Waterloo of the Republican Party....an entity that was sent packing in 2008, only to try a comeback....with defeat, and this coup'de grace. Yes, put them out of their misery.
PLEASE!!!!!
Because the Grand Old Party of Lincoln is no more, and really hasn't "been" for about twenty years now.
Now Boehner can get back to his tanning booth, Palin for shoe shopping and fancy pageant walkin', and Bachmann...well, she can just get fitted for her first straightjacket.
Adios, compadres...the old amigo needs to snooze.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yes, I am watching, in my PJs with my elitist glass of Chardonnay in hand waiting for the final vote.
ReplyDeleteWish I were in the same room with you guys so I could hug each and every one of you when this passes.

Yes! I'm in total agreement with you Infidel. It's been a long and arduous slog. I'm going to enjoy the win.
I'll be checking in here off and on. I've got some Sam Adams here too if you prefer beer. Can I get anyone anything else?
I was thinking a moment ago that it's like we're all sitting in Sue's living room.
ReplyDeleteI don't drink anymore : ( but if I did I'd be having Black Jack with branch water or maybe a double dry martini - or both.
Why is the "grassroots" movement of the left always have manufactured signs?
ReplyDeleteThey are like parrots I guess.
I love parrots. Taste like chicken!
ReplyDeleteyes Wassermann-Schultz, I always love listening to her, just like Grayson!
ReplyDeleteHugh I just said the same thing to thehusband. You have a good nights sleep, I'm gonna try to stay up even tho Amelia will be here bright and early tomorrow.
Thanks Shaw, I'll have a glass of white wine please! Wouldn't it be fun to be all together tonight? What a great night!
Leslie how nice! You are all welcome to my livingroom, here, I'll light the fireplace for ya!
Did someone say parrot?? Hmmmmm
they are now saying 10pm eastern, damn people keep me awake!
ReplyDelete"they are now saying 10pm eastern, damn people keep me awake!"
ReplyDeleteA guy walks into a psychiatrist's office with a duck on his head. Psychiatrist asks: "What can I do for you?"
The duck says: "Can you get this guy out of my ass?"
I turned on the news shows at 7am today. I'm still watching C-Span and still interested. I need help. I need a hobby. Oh yes, I blog. I took a 1/2 an hour off to watch "Dog Tales."
ReplyDeletewelcome Tom, grab a beer! Shaw has the salsa and Infidl has the Tofu(?), Leslie has martinis! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Shaw. That is priceless!
ReplyDeleteMy tv has been on since 7am too!
ReplyDeleteLOL Shaw. I wish I could think of a good joke. I'm a terrible joke teller
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooh Cantor is speaking, I gag whan I hear his voice!
ReplyDeleteBoo - Hiss - Sad - Glad - Weird - Sick - Anyone throw something at the TV yet?
ReplyDeleteThese people are fruit loops.
Wait til we get the political oratory pros, Senators.
Every time I watch this process, I wonder how we get anything done.
OMG, the Senators! I can't friggin wait! lol
ReplyDeleteYou people of little faith!
ReplyDeleteDo you really believe Pelosi would have allowed a vote if she didn't KNOW she had it in the bag?
She even got the senate to sign letters ahead of time supporting the House...she wasn't leaving that up to Harry Reid.
Now, watch the polls over the next two weeks...Obama will enjoy a bounce! Americans love a winner!
Also watch the right begin a meltdown....they threw everything they had at derailing this bill...everything!
It is going to be an interesting next two weeks.
I know the right loves to compare Obama to Carter...but Obama is one smart politician....that interview with Fox News was just a victory lap around the loser...
The republicans do not have enough money to defeat all the democrats in the fall...so, that will end up not being the tsunami that they will start predicting...
Liberalism is NOW beginning to gain traction...finally! If the democrats can pass some draconian financial control legislation by fall....well, that will make it interesting.
Rep. John Boehner has a sad and heavy heart. It's a result of having an orangy tannedy skin.
ReplyDeleteHe's saying he's failed to listen to America. He should have qualified that. One HALF of the American population WANTS THIS BILL.
They're getting frisky in the House.
Bonehead is speaking and slobbering now....
ReplyDeleteOMG the fucker is fuckin SCREAMING!!!
ReplyDeleteBoehner is trying to be "passionate." That's like asking a skunk to smell pretty.
ReplyDeleteTAO, who here has little faith?? You must already be drunk on Leslies martinis! LOL!
ReplyDeleteoh no, now he's playing games...
ReplyDeleteA called roll! That's 435 people. That would take hours.
ReplyDeleteTell Boner he should have played this role when Bush was preznit. He's worrying about spending money.
ReplyDeleteHypocrite!
Boner! HALF OF AMERICA WANTS THIS!
ReplyDeleteElections have consequences. The Democrats won. We get to implement legislation you guys didn't have the balls to pass.
yay Nancy you go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteGuys, I can't take anymore. As usual, I will probably wake up later and will check in then.
ReplyDeleteI think I heard Boehner, in a stalling tactic, request that the vote be one man at a time - instead of electronically I suppose. These ignoramuses keep lying until the very end.
Go Nancy!
ReplyDeleteA called roll! That's 435 people. That would take hours.
ReplyDeleteIt's the principle of the thing. If he can delay reform for even a few hours, if he can be responsible for even one more person dying for lack of insurance, I guess he'll still feel it's a moral victory and he went down fighting.
good night leslie, talk to ya tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBeing a woman will no longer be a pre-existing medical condition!
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! Woman rule!
ReplyDeleteA shout out to Teddy.

ReplyDeletelisa plans on staying up to torture me so I'm closing this thread. Thanks for bringing in the vote with me it was fun!

ReplyDeleteThis entire thread (65 comments so far) is textbook for what is wrong with the progressive movement in our country.
ReplyDeleteYou want the feds to control everyone's health care.
You don't care if millions of people see abortion as murder, you say shut up and pay for it.
You hate people who disagree with you...example - "Bachmann is a living example of an abortion gone wrong"...how sadly evil and pathetic that statement is.
You want your legislation your way and you advocate that those who disagree should be excluded from the benefits, but you failed to endorse them to be excluded from PAYING for your benefits!! Isn't that......SLAVERY????
You now want to move on from ruining one area of our economy and life to yet another area that should not be controlled by the government - the financial. You are actually advocating the CONTROL of money by the government!
Finally, you are ridiculing those who disagree with you. You are all fine specimens for what all Americans should run-not-walk away from. You and your kind are what will destroy our representative republic...the ones that Ben Franklin had in mind when he commented to a woman who had asked him what kind of government that the framers had given us. When he said a representative republic, "if you can keep it", he was predicting that there would be people who would work AGAINST our brilliant form of government...those people are YOU.
