Kim adds: I just called Rep. Bart Stupak and told Loren, the nice young man who answered the phone, that I would like Rep. Stupak to vote no on HR 3200 should Nancy Pelosi force it to a floor vote this week.

"I can't imagine why the Dems would let the bill twist in the wind through the recess."
Simple truth is that Nancy for all her bluster, does not have the votes. If she did, it would be a done deal. But the Blue Dogs want concessions. They're holding it up. Barry is also wanting some big "bipartisan" support. The economy does not recover by 2010, that "Economic Recovery Act" (PORK I) is going to be a stinking albatross hanging around the necks of some vulnerable Democrats. No Republican in the House voted for it. If ObamaCare passes, they want to spread the 'fault' around as much as possible when John Q Public finally finds out he got screwed. "Everyone voted for it" covers a lot of political ass, rather than "Only Nancy's Obamabots voted for this mess". At the moment this looks only like a political face-saving gesture for Nancy and Barry. "They got it done by the August recess." - Yeah they got a bill put together, BUT not voted on. So it isn't DONE. Not even 1/2 way there. Harry can't get anything out of the Senate. Without that, there can be no compromise meeting and resulting legislation between the House and Senate.

"Oh No You Don't" is using Lee Ward's email address. Of course it could be Glen Greenwald visiting Lee and using his computer or someone trying to impersonate Lee. I'd check the IP addy if I cared, but thought I would just ask instead. "Oh No" hasn't called me a liar yet so it is hard to believe it could really be Lee.

How come it takes Obam-Alinsky months and months to choose a dog, and a church, but he wants to force this through in a matter of days?

Because health care for all Americans is important, and finding a dog isn't?

The bill if passed and signed does not take effect for four years....so why rush it? You do understand On No that you are a idiot.

This is interesting, but then again, maybe it's a head fake.
I can't imagine why the Dems would let the bill twist in the wind through the recess. That seems stupid to me.
