[Bills Custom Calls]

If he wins the election the Dems are planning on voting the health care bill through before he takes office

And that is so wrong

[HaMeR]

If he wins he needs to get his ass in the car & get to Washington to be sworn in immediately.

[Hawks Feather]

If he wins he needs to get his ass in the car & get to Washington to be sworn in immediately.

He will, but that doesn't mean that the dems will swear him in until they are ready. 

[JohnP]

My guess is that unless he wins by a large margin this election will be decided by recounts, court challenges and counter challenges.  We may not know who won for several months. 

[HaMeR]

If he wins & they take their good old time swearing him in then how can they vote & pass something with only 99 members & the missing member would be vote #60?? Other than declaring it an emergency & only needing 51 I guess.

Now that Scott Brown has won the election, Obama has his new Obamacare Pace Car in route.... 

 

[HaMeR]

Sweet!! 

[KySongDog]

I hear the Dems are going to hold back Brown's certification and ram through the health bill before he can vote on it.     That would be a big mistake me thinks.

[FOsteology]

I don't think so..... Jim Webb (D) Virginia just issued a statement that "it would be wise to wait until Brown is seated" in the Senate before moving on Obamacare.

Translation: Webb cannot be counted on voting for Obamacare before Brown is seated.

Webb sees the writing on the wall and I bet by tomorrow many more Democraps will be smelling the coffee.....

[FOsteology]

Democratic leaders face new resistance on health reform...... and it's NOT Scott Brown!

How awesome is it that thanks to Kennedy keeling over, he set the stage for the death of this Bolshevik revolution?!!

I imagine he is spinning in his grave right now..... or treading water for eternity.

[Hawks Feather]

One down and more to go.

I sure hope you are right, FOs.   And yes, the irony of Kennedy's death leading to the potential demise of Obamacare is inescapable.

[HaMeR]

I imagine he is spinning in his grave right now..... or treading water for eternity.   :roflmao:

My eyes won't stop watering from this ^^^^!! 

[HaMeR]

A quick search showed 54% to 46%. Now plus or minus 3% would make it as much as 57%-43% or as little as 51%-49%.  Could a recount be pulled on these numbers? Does Mass have electronic voting or the old chad type machines.

[FOsteology]

If the count was on the same number (or within 1%), perhaps they could play a game like they did in Minnesota, but Brown won by 110,000+ votes. They have no recourse but to certify the election as quickly as possible. They (Democraps) will be held accountable at the ballot box in November if they screw with Browns seating.

Plus, Coakley conceded.

[HaMeR]

That is good news. I still hope things get straightened out quickly tho.    Every small victory we get we'll take. 

[FOsteology]

Just read where Bwaney Frank just put out a statement basically running up the white flag and calling for a new compromise on health care.

I kind of think the practical politicians in the democrap party are going to be on the phone to each other tonight, and the health care bill kind of fades away, perhaps to be replaced by a few targeted measures aimed at portability, pre-existing conditions, etc.

The careerist politicians are not going to commit suicide for Obama, Nancy or Harry, and this makes it pretty obvious what's going to happen to a lot of them if they keep pushing this.....
