No shocker here that the House twisted enough arms to pass the health care bill, still can’t call it reform, but you could get hurt picking up the bill.
Despite not posting the full bill with amendments online for 72 hours as promised, and despite the fact that the Democratic leaders gave a wink and a nod about the abortion amendment, knowing that it will be removed in the merged bill, they still passed it by 2 votes.
I guess they really think the American people are really stupid, giving cover to those blue dog democrats with the abortion amendment knowing that it will have to be removed in order for the progressive dems to vote for it, when it comes back from the merger committee ( I am assuming the Harry Reid will ram the Senates version through). By allowing the Blue dogs to have the amendment in there they can say they only voted for it when it had the ban on abortions. However the real truth is this was only a cover for them.
As more and more Americans are starting to pay attention to what our Elected Officials are really doing, the more I feel confident in removing the control that the Progressive Democrats have on our government.
