    Oh please, keeping delaying any consideration of HC reform. Every day they don’t deliberate is like driving a nail in a coffin.

    I don’t understand the euphoria. Of course the plan will fail, everything the left touches, fails.

    But it will pass congress, sooner or later and I don’t know why no one thinks that. Some form of private insurance killing initiative will pass, period, between now and 2010.

    Ed Morrissey is reporting that the fishy email reports sent to snitch on fellow citizens are now bouncing back.

    Did the White House lower the flag@whitehouse.gov?

    I meant I think it will fail to pass Congress

    Postponing a vote always means: “We don’t have the voted”

    The Health Care Plan Is Going To Fail

    It’s headlines like this that convince me that it will pass. Our opposition will not give up. The battle is not even 25% over yet. Celebrating every trial balloon sent up will only undermine the resolve on our side. The only real way to kill this bill is to make sure that every vulnerable Dem or GOP congressman who championed the bill is put out to pasture next November.

    I’m not saying to slacken efforts by any means

    But I now think this bill is a political Hindenburg which has already started its flaming crash towards the ground…

    I think it’s still a little early to call it the Hindenburg, but I guess time will tell. Let’s see if the Dems double down when they get to Washington in September. The Dems are very good at enforcing party discipline — much better than the GOP. Their tactics right now are to stabilize the situation why they look to outflank the opposition rather than any meaningful retreat.

    it does appear that the “snitch line” is no longer with us [moment of silence].

    I’ve been so bizzzy I didn’t get a chance to turn you all in! :evil: Drat!

    From The Corner:

    Krauthammer’s Take

    On how town-hall protests have affected the health-care debate:

    Astonishingly, I was wrong. Empirical evidence is in. Remarkably, the protests have had an effect of galvanizing opposition.

    I would have thought with some of the images, and particularly the way the media have played it, as rowdies, as — portraying them essentially as a mob — that it would have a negative effect. In fact, it has had the opposite effect.

    Amazing that a beltway guy could misread the common folks!

    Do not be fooled, keep the pressure on 120%, we need to burn this issue into the minds of voters.

    On the emails… looks like they got caught data mining, people should be PISSED, not surprised though.
