Republicans Should Push The Democrats To A Vote

The Democrat talking heads have been saying for weeks that the House is going to pass the Senate bill. Well it’s time to find out. The Republicans should be publicly calling them out on this and be pushing for a vote NOW. They DON”T have the votes to pass this crap. A relentless pounding for a vote that they claim they have would kill this thing.

Pelosi will never bring it to a vote unless she is absolutely sure she has 216 on her side. I believe the pressure would push some of the undecideds to the “no” column. If this can be pushed to the recess, the American people will do the rest and this bill will be history.

The only other option for Pelosi under pressure will be to use the “deem and pass” or “self-executing rule”. This is a process by which the House would vote on a more popular package of fixes to the Senate bill; under the House rule for that vote, passage would signify that lawmakers “deem” the health-care bill to be passed. This is unconstitutional and is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

As Obama said, “The time for talking is over…” bring it to a vote NOW!
