PelosiCare: Are The Votes There?
The Politico quotes Democrats saying yes:
At this moment, Democratic sources say their internal head counts have them breaking through the 218 mark this afternoon.
Consider this an open thread.

A-holes, the whole lot of them…
Dopey (a812c5) — 11/7/2009 @ 5:05 pmIf PelosiCare passes, I hope it’s by more than one vote.
DRJ (dff2ca) — 11/7/2009 @ 5:05 pmBoth C-SPAN and the Washington Post are live-streaming the health care debate.
DRJ (dff2ca) — 11/7/2009 @ 5:18 pmHow can they do this, knowing the anger in the streets over this takeover???
Patricia (b05e7f) — 11/7/2009 @ 5:29 pmWhat I really don’t understand is the extreme urge to pass a bill that isn’t hashed out and that absolutely no one on earth knows what it all means/covers/costs.
Why the rush? What are the Immediate ramifications and who (specifically) profits? Never in my life have I seen such an effort in support of something that no one understands what it actually means. Is this a wetdream become real?
Angelo (5df281) — 11/7/2009 @ 5:31 pmThe reason the Democrats don’t care what “anger” there is is that they know their electorate will pull the (D) lever no matter what they do.
I think it’s almost hopeless — we have CHARLIE RANGEL advising on ethics from the well of the House.
Even Botoxed Nancy should grimace at that.

Owens to vote for Health Care – DeDe was against it
http://www.gouverneurtimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7623:owens-to-break-campaign-promises&catid=60:st-lawrence-news&Itemid=175
EricPWJohnson (b2597d) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:28 pmBut Owens was *also* against it before he was sworn in. So how do you know you could trust DeDe’s word on this, especially since she went against her party and endorsed a Democrat.
Argument FAIL.
steve miller (dae725) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:31 pmThe House debate has begun closing arguments.
Eric – It was Owens, not Scozzafava, who refused to support the public option (although he’s recanted on that and other promises now). In addition, the AARP ranked Owens and Scozzafava the same on health care. Granted, Owens is more susceptible to Democratic pressure than Scozzafava — but she certainly fell into line quickly, didn’t she?
DRJ (dff2ca) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:47 pmBoehner was rather entertaining. This debate has been one giant emo anecdote-fest for the Leftists.
JD (42a8c3) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:53 pmIf one more congresscritter says this is fiscally responsible and deficit neutral I am going to throw a midget clown through my projection screen.
JD (42a8c3) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:55 pm“How can they do this, knowing the anger in the streets over this takeover???”
They don’t need the majority of votes because they have:
1) ACORN
2) 2010 census
3) Unions
Mark my words, they will take the elections in 2010 and 12 but it won’t be legal.
bizjetmech (022d42) — 11/7/2009 @ 6:55 pmCoverage for illegal immigrants is allowed under the House bill:
DRJ (dff2ca) — 11/7/2009 @ 7:01 pmBill Owens needs dirty socialist party money to have a prayer of re-election so he has to whore out his vote wantonly. He’s corrupt like that.
happyfeet (f62c43) — 11/7/2009 @ 7:01 pmEric – Dede and Owens BOTH SAID they were against it. They both lied.
Have Blue (854a6e) — 11/7/2009 @ 7:30 pm“Coverage for illegal immigrants is allowed under the House bill:”
Seemed real smart to keep undocumented people from buying insurance.
imdw (36e71a) — 11/8/2009 @ 2:39 pmPelosiCare apparently provides that illegal immigrants can’t be penalized for not buying health insurance. Don’t you think the law should be consistent — either they can’t buy it and can’t be penalized for not buying it, or they can buy it and will be penalized if they don’t?
