Pelosi: Lawmakers Should Sacrifice Jobs for Health Care

Nothing like being told to walk the plank from a lady who spends $ 1000 bucks a week of taxpayer money on the finest booze and food when she flies between D.C. and San Francisco.

What does she care?

The voters in her district have “legal” pot shops on every corner. But, the weed being sold are strictly for medicinal purposes.

Do you really think Pelosi in in danger of losing her seat when everybody is too stoned to notice what a clown she is?

Fox News reports:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue's massive role in this election year.

Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program "This Week."

"We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."

Pelosi, from San Francisco, is more liberal than scores of her Democratic colleagues. But she generally walks a careful line between urging them to back left-of-center policies and giving them a green light to buck party leaders to improve their re-election hopes.

"Time is up," she said. "We really have to go forth."

So what if a majority of the American people don't want the government to took over health care. This is the best opportunity Democrats have to control your life and they will make it happen by any means necessary.

Anybody got some weed?

Democrats Go Nuclear in 60 Days to Pass ObamaCare

Those pesky Democrats in the senate, at least the ones who haven’t announced their retirement, are choosing to pass ObamaCare by using the Nuclear Option, also known as reconciliation whereby only a simple majority of 51 votes gets the bill passed.

This is a very audacious move by the Dems who insist on passing a healthcare reform plan that will lead to inadequate care at the hands of an administration that loves to spend your money.

The Hill reports:

The move would allow Democrats to essentially go it alone on health reform, especially after losing their filibuter-proof majority in the Senate after Sen. Scott Brown's (R) special election victory in Massachusetts.

Republicans have protested the maneuver as a hyperpartisan tactic to ram through a health bill, and have said that plans to use the reconciliation process make moot a bipartisan summit at the White House this week, where both GOP and Democratic leaders are supposed to present their ideas on healthcare.
Full story

As has been the case for the past year, Democrats don’t want to listen to Republican ideas or anything dealing with free market solutions.

Their true God is government now, government tomorrow, government forever!

4 Dem Senators Want Nuclear Option to Pass Public Option

Despite the fact ObamaCare makes most Americans sick, four Democrat senators are asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to use reconciliation, a procedural maneuver, otherwise known as the “nuclear option”, requiring only 51 votes, to push for a public health insurance option.

Sens. Michael Bennet (Colo.),
Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.),
Sherrod Brown (Ohio)
and Jeff Merkley (Ore.) signed a letter to Reid saying they support this plan for four reasons: the cost savings the public option is estimated to achieve, continued public support for the public option, the need for increased competition in the insurance market and the Senate's history of using the reconciliation process for health care reform.

The letter points to the last CBS News/ New York Times poll that surveyed Americans on the public option, from Dec. 2009, which showed that 59 percent of Americans supported the public option.

However, Allahpundit at Hot Air points out the following:

As nutty as this sounds to fiscal conservatives, is it really that bad of an idea politically? The public option has polled consistently well, especially vis-a-vis the toxic numbers for the overall bill.

That’s due to several factors — dumb poll questions, poor GOP messaging about the slippery slope of government-run health care, and the minor detail that most of the public doesn’t understand what the public option is

These Dems are getting more and more desperate and panic grows as ship Obama continues to sink.
