This isn’t good.
Politico reported:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor about 6:30 p.m. to say, “Today we will pass the Affordable Health Care for America Act… We will make history. We will also make progress for America’s working families.”
In response to a question about whether the bill would pass when she brought it up, Pelosi told reporters Saturday night, “That is our expectation.”
Thirty-four Democrats have publicly declared their opposition to the bill, giving party leaders the narrowest possible margin to push the bill across the finish line. But numerous sources said Democrats believe they do have the votes after a day of intense lobbying of wavering Democrats.
Votes have a tendency to shift in the final hours before a controversial vote, but party leaders were expressing more genuine confidence as the sun set over the Capitol than they had exhibited all week. Word started spreading around 5 p.m. that leaders had the votes they needed to pass the $1.2 trillion bill.
Oh, they’re making history all right. America as we all knew it is now history. Thanks alot dems.
I’ll update later as news comes in.
Update: The Hill reported that they say they now have the votes. Don’t listen to the BS about the abortion amendment, they can take that out when it goes to the Senate. You can watch the debate live here.
Update: Just checked in with C-Span (from the link directly above) and the dems have 208 votes with 11 minutes to go. This is awful. (11:03 PM)
Update: This sh*t heap of a bill just passed. There was on GOP traitor – Cao. Another sad day for America. Witch Pelosi is beside herself with glee. I feel sick.
Update: It was Rahmbo who twisted Cao’s arm to get him to vote for PelosiCare. Shockin, I know…
Well, the good news is that the Senate will have much more trouble passing a bill, and then they must work a compromise in a Joint Conference Committee that once achieved will have to pass each house, so there’s still time to derail this wrecking ball.
Now is the time for action, and it must continue for a few months.

This makes me absolutely sick! Don’t what we’re going to do. Apparently the idiots in congress don’t give a crap what the American people want or don’t want. Again, I’m just plain sick and extremely mad right now.

America as we know it is not history, LC. Chin up! We have a lot of work left to do, but it’s certainly not over. America WILL NOT let this happen
Let the idiots gloat for awhile, (we know they will) because they will be damn sorry very soon.

We all knew that something would pass. Time will work in our favor. Stall, delay , resist, peaceful powerful protest. I’m counting the days until the mid terms, America will not speak that day, she will shout.
