Healthcare ’still on schedule’; bill coming Tuesday
Posted by G.J. Merits in General Politics, Health Care, tags: Congress, healt care, house of representatives, liberals, Obama, obamacare, senate, socialism, white houseSonia Sotomayor is a shoe in for the Supreme Court – so let’s quit covering her.
This is a diversion, and that’s how socialists get their agenda accomplished. Check out this story from the Hill. The shock and awe destruction of our health care system rears its head again. Trust me, the liberals do not rest, and neither should we. Time to stop covering Sotomayor and get back to the business of protecting this country against the government, lest we find ourselves standing dumbfounded as to what the hell happened.
House Democrats will introduce their full healthcare reform bill Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday while acknowledging she has much work left to do to win over members of her own caucus.
“We’re still on schedule. We have plans to vote for this legislation before we leave for the August recess,” Pelosi said at a news conference. Pelosi said, however, that the bill to be unveiled would have to undergo further changes during committee markup to garner enough support among Democrats. “It is just the beginning,” she said.
“It won’t be the finished product,” Pelosi said. “In order for us to be on schedule, we have to roll out legislation this week.”
But even a Tuesday introduction, to be followed by possible committee action beginning before week’s end, represents a slight setback to the House Democratic leadership’s ambitious goal of passing a healthcare reform bill before the lower chamber departs for its summer recess on July 31.
Diligence people, diligence.
Hot Air has a Live stream from Sotomayor hearings. While an interesting diversion, a crime is being committed in the House. Take your eyes of the ball for a split second and you will drop it. Don’t transfix on just this one issue – it is what the other side wants. They are running a reverse pattern and our entire team is running to the wrong side of the field.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Hot Air and many other blogs. They are where I get the real news from very talented writers and real journalists. Think Michelle Malkin, Wizbang, Sister Toldjah, and anybody listed in my blogroll. I just hope everyone does not spend too much time on Sotomayor, wasting our time looking at shadows on cave walls while Obama, Pelosi, and Reid chip away at the foundations of this country bit by bit. I fear Sotomayor morphing into the Michael Jackson of conservative blogs while Pelosi and Reid work backroom deals virtually unchecked. Keep the pressure off and we may just lose some votes.
A death by a thousand cuts.
Michelle Malkin is also covering the Sotomayor hearings. As usual, her commentary and coverage is excellent, however I strongly believe her role in stopping the health care debacle is pivotal.
Michelle Laprarie at Wizbang has her eye on the ball: Democrats ready to drown, not just soak, the “rich”
Sister Toldjah: Palin slams Democrats on cap and trade
Michelle is on the case: Waiting for the health care takeover bill to drop. Details are provided on the Republican plan.
