Health Care Victorious in House- Doomed For Failure in Senate

Best thing I read all day. From the AP:

The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.

All those Democrats that were bought off by Nancy Pelosi, plus one RINO, are probably not having a good afternoon reading their favorite statist newspaper. Senators are flat out rejecting the Pelosi plan. The people spoke. Pelosi chose to cram it down anyway in the dead of night in an obscure piece of legislation that no one could read. The payoffs to those Democrats that voted for the bill notwithstanding, these liberals continue to walk right off the cliff with Pelosi holding the blade. I love it.

I was surprised that my congressman, Bart Gordon, did not vote for it. He’s voted for every single other piece of Obama/Pelosi legislation, but apparently he listened to his constituents. He may have staved off his 2010 political execution. Though he did vote cap and trade which is troubling. His email indicated he was bought off by Pelosi for his vote. But I digress.

I feel at least a little better that the government takeover of health care has been granted a possible stay. The fight continues. Big Socialist government politicians infest D.C. The statists still want control over the people.
