Restate Red Alert: Senate Democrats On Verge Of Healthcare Deal. A Call To Action
Posted by G.J. Merits in healthcare, tags: alert, deal, erick, erickson, gop, healthcare, McConnell, michael, national conservative symposium, obamacare, redstate, RNC, senate, steele, unanimous consentErick Erickson of Redstate is reporting the Senate Democrats are on the verge of a healthcare deal – a deal which would expose McConnell’s public strategy of holding 40 Republicans and finding 1 or more Democrats as flawed in the extreme. Add to this equation the behind-the-scenes fact that McConnell’s strategy is to use ObamaCare’s passage as a catalyst to increase GOP gains in the Senate and you have the ingredients for a complete GOP meltdown next year.
Given the fact that a it doesn’t take 40 Republicans to succeed in stopping the Reid Bill; it doesn’t take 20; it only takes one Republican to object each time Harry Reid propounds a unanimous consent agreement to rush another amendment through the process, McConnell has shown himself to intellectually challenged. The GOP strategy will not stop ObamaCare as the Redstate story makes plainly clear. Therefore, only one option remains – throw up every procedural block in the book to slow down ObamaCare, for if it passes McConnell and the rest of the GOP, with the exception of Senator Jim DeMint who stands alone in standing up for this country, will have succeeded in pushing the themselves and the rest of the GOP over a cliff and pulling the country along with them.
RNC Michael Steele gets the message and fiscal conservatives applaud him for recognizing how McConnells’ strategy is bad for the country and a nightmare in the making for the GOP. Last week CBS reported that RNC leader Michael Steele sent a memo to the Senate GOP telling them to pull out all the stops and use every trick in the book to stop ObamaCare. What screw is loose in McConnell’s head? The Senate GOP should do their job and defend this country. This is and always has been warfare and wars are won by engaging the enemy, not running from them of prostrating oneself before them. This is the very definition of impotence. What the GOP leadership needs now is a large canister of mental Viagra.
Today is the day folks – call your Republican Senator and burn up the phone lines, or send them an email. Inundate them with one clear message: “Let ObamaCare pass and we will abandon you – in droves”.
What McConnell fails to realize that we live in an age where information flies at speeds he can’t even begin to comprehend. With blogs, social networks, and events like the National Conservative Symposium and the technology that will be brought to bear by Tea Party Support, it will not be long before his treachery is household knowledge and his dreams of a GOP tidal wave dissipate before his eyes. Watch yourself Senator.
The time for wobbly and treacherous strategies is over. Listen now our join many of us in the unemployment line. To the Senate GOP I say this – do not follow McConnell. Sell us out and we vote you out. Period.
Get this story out on the social networks. Email it to all your friends. Now is the time for action for time is indeed short.

Democrats Play Hardball with Their Own
If the Tea-Party/Grass-Roots movement is for real it will make its bones right now by pledging to throw out of office any Republican Senator who fails to object, obstruct and fight to kill the Reid Bill by any parliamentary means available to them—with no possibility of a commutation of sentence before they next stand for reelection regardless of how they try to atone for their mortal sin between now and then.
Nobody says it better than Dr. Hunter: YES, WE WANT NO OBAMA – CARE:
Unless Republicans become galvanized to actively obstruct the Reid Bill, our guess is Democrats will get their game together at last and push a skinnied-down version of ObamaCare through the Senate by year’s end. What a shame that will be. And, far from redounding to the electoral benefit of Republicans as the Senate GOP Leadership seems to calculate, it likely will result in conservative activists staying home from the polls in droves next November.

How much is America worth?: Dems Offer Nelson up to $500 million in Earmarks to Vote Yes. So that’s how much the Democrats think America is worth. Going once, going twice….sold! For $500 million dollars. I guess with the Senate GOP doing nothing about it equates to their price for America being, well, nothing.
