All This Has Happened Before
Remember last November 7th? Remember how Crazy Nancy discovered, to her botox-bending chagrin, that she really wouldn't have the votes to pass House ObamaCare without the Stupak pro-life Donk bloc? And late on that Saturday afternoon she was forced to bow to his demand for an up-or-down vote on his amendment prohibiting the bill from providing federal funding for abortions? It was the one and only reason why the whole misbegotten devil-crusade didn't die right then and there as it deserved to.
Why do I bring it up now? Because history may be about to repeat itself:
Yet a week later, supposedly within literal hours of this "historic vote"....the votes still aren't there. So after having sent Steny Hoyer and Henry Waxman to tell Stupak to go pound sand, here's Madame IronFist herself, come crawling back to the pro-life Michigander and now frantically lobbying her fellow infanticiders to cave instead.
I said last time that I had to hand it to her - I never thought that Nancy f'ing Pelosi would throw the abortion lobby under the bus for anything. But clearly this Donk power-lust is so overpowering that nothing - NOTHING - supercedes it. If blowing George W. Bush live on C-SPAN is what it took to shove ObamaCare down our throats (ahem), the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Axis would be lining up to take turns, complete with dribble bibs and dental dams. How much would you wager against Granny's Donkresses flipping her the bird?
It's a fool's bet, my friends. Forget Denis Kucinich skipping off of Air Force One yesterday; THIS is the true beginning of the end for American healthcare, and America itself as we have known it for 233 years. It'll be a done-deal within the day.
UPDATE: Eeyore looks at the CBO score of the reconciliation "fix" as the "aye" rain-making deluge that will wash away American health care for good. If so, what to make of his tweet of eight minutes later which shows a significantly higher cost estimate? Aren't fig leaves supposed to COVER unmentionables rather than broadcast them to the four voyeueristic winds?
Hence, San Fran Nan's belated bow & curtsy to Bart Stupak.
Why do I bring it up now? Because history may be about to repeat itself:
I'm told that Stupak met with Pelosi yesterday, but didn't cave to her demands.Here's the narrative you aren't gonna hear from the Obamedia: Pelosi doesn't have the votes to pass this mess. Not Senate ObamaCare, complete with graft, corruption, and all-around filth; not the "Slaughtered" version; not nothing no-how. She didn't have the votes a week ago, when they finally decided to bulldoze ahead anyway, gambling that seeing the train leaving the station would knock enough fence-sitters in the "aye" column to squeak this travesty through. Blowing off Bart Stupak was part & parcel of this.
Today, Roll Call reports Pelosi called an emergency meeting of women-only members-only Democrats. The only purpose of this meeting would be to see what sort of abortion compromise they would be willing to accept, which could only come down to one of Stupak's proposals.
Yet a week later, supposedly within literal hours of this "historic vote"....the votes still aren't there. So after having sent Steny Hoyer and Henry Waxman to tell Stupak to go pound sand, here's Madame IronFist herself, come crawling back to the pro-life Michigander and now frantically lobbying her fellow infanticiders to cave instead.
