ObamaKare This Week:

The first vote on the ObamaKare package comes up in the Senate this coming week. From the Evil Fox News:

Despite Uphill Climb, Reid Is Poised to Muscle Health Care Through Senate
by FOXNews.com
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is awaiting final word from the Congressional Budget Office on costs and coverage implications of the still-secret bill he submitted more than two weeks ago.

Under pressure from the White House, Majority Leader Harry Reid says he plans to bring a health care reform package to the floor of the Senate next week, and his goal is to see it passed by the end of the year.

It appears the Demorats may be pushing for full-on cloture in the Senate.

What is cloture? Literally, it is “A parliamentary procedure by which debate is ended and an immediate vote is taken on the matter under discussion. Also called closure.”

This is a way to end debate or filibuster, essentially having the ability to ramroad ObamaKare through the Senate. This could potentially do away with conferences, etc. It is very much a “nuclear option” and could have serious ramifications for those voting so. Cloture — “Rule 22” in the Senate — is quite the high risk/high gain move.

Instead of an original 2/3rds vote, in 1975 the US Senate reduced the number of votes needed to invoke cloture to three-fifths (60) of Senate membership.

That is another reason why the number “60” is so important in terms of Senatorial power. Wield a constant 60+ votes and you can pretty much have your way in the US Senate.

With that in mind, there is a website extant called Talk PAC which states:

Send a message to Harry Reid and vulnerable Democrat Senators: If you vote for Government Healthcare, against the will of the voters in your state, you will pay a price in the 2010 election.

Here, you will find news and video on ObamaKare, and you may donate if you wish.

The Democrats in the Senate who face voters in 2010 know they have drawn the short straw. Their colleagues who ran and won in 2006 and 2008 had the wind at their back. This class survived the George Bush win of 2004 only to now land in the middle of the blowback against President Obama and his huge lurch left. Even now aggressive groups like TalkPac.com are busy raising funds to deploy against those most vulnerable Senate Democrats who vote for cloture on Obamacare. The Democrats who had hoped to “hide” their support of Obamacare behind an eventual “no” vote as the bill passes into law have come to realize that in the era of new media, the electorate understands that the cloture vote is everything. To give a green light now is to own the bill that gets to the president’s desk this year or next. There will be no shedding responsibility for the law if a yes vote on cloture is registered next week.

MoveOn.org is also proffering consequences for Demorats not fighting The Good ObamaKare Fight. They write, here, at a MoveOn.org petition site:

Democrats in the Senate need to know their constituents are watching how they vote on the health care reform that we’ve all worked so hard for. Make a pledge now so we can let the media and Senate leadership know how much support there will be for a primary challenger to any member of the Democratic Caucus who keeps health care reform from getting an up-or-down vote. You don’t need your credit card right now—just let us know how much you pledge.

Yes, Joseph Lieberman has said he won’t vote for ObamaKare if it contains a so-called “public option.” But he’s just one person. Hugh Hewitt lists four persons he believes can help swing the vote. Click on that link and make your calls. As you can see, the fight for ObamaKare is NOT over; it is just getting rolling.

Also: the Demorats made it known they are taking Immigration Reform into their sights come January. How does amnesty for 12 million illegal invaders sound to you? They’re already pushing for illegals to be covered under ObamaKare. If illegals are then granted amnesty and then covered for healthcare, do you suspect there might be some votes acquired by Demorats? The photos? They are coming. The push for it is here. Out and out Socialism.

It’s all interconnected. You see that; apparently the bulk of America does not yet. You need to get out and spread the word.

Do it soon.

Islam’s Deeds On American Soil:

The terrorist murders of completely unarmed soldiers on the Ft Hood grounds recently, at the twin-handgun-fisted hands of Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan — an Islamist insurrectionist — is only one of a number of killing incidents directed at our country from Muslims.

Thanks to BobF, I would also submit these events for your consideration:

10/22/2002 USA Aspen Hill, MD 1 0 A bus driver is killed by Muslim snipers.

8/6/2003 USA Houston, TX 1 0 After undergoing a religious revival, a Saudi college student slashes the throat of a Jewish student with a 4″ butterfly knife, nearly decapitating the young man.

12/2/2003 USA Chicago, IL 1 0 A Muslim doctor deliberately allows a Jewish patient to die from an easily treatable condition.

4/13/2004 USA Raleigh, NC 1 4 A Muslim man runs down five strangers with a car.

4/15/2004 USA Scottsville, NY 1 2 In an honor killing, a Muslim father kills his wife and attacks his two daughters with a knife and hammer because he feared that they had been sexually molested.

6/16/2006 USA Baltimore, MD 1 0 A 62-year-old Jewish moviegoer is shot to death by a Muslim gunman in an unprovoked terror attack.

6/25/2006 USA Denver, CO 1 5 Saying that it was ‘Allah’s choice’, a Muslim shoots four of his co-workers and a police officer.

7/28/2006 USA Seattle, WA 1 5 An ‘angry’ Muslim-American uses a young girl as hostage to enter a local Jewish center, where he shoots six women, one of whom dies.

10/6/2006 USA Louisville, KY 4 1 In an ‘honor’ attack, a Muslim man rapes and beats his estranged wife, leaving her for dead, then savagely murders their four children.

2/13/2007 USA Salt Lake City, UT 5 4 A Muslim immigrant goes on a shooting rampage at a mall, targeting people buying Valentine’s Day cards at a gift shop and killing five.

1/1/2008 USA Irving, TX 2 0 A Muslim immigrant shoots his two daughters to death on concerns about their ‘Western’ lifestyle.

7/6/2008 USA Jonesboro, GA 1 0 A devout Muslim strangles his 25-year-old daughter in an honor killing.

2/12/2009 USA Buffalo, NY 1 0 The founder of a Muslim TV station beheads his wife in the hallway for seeking a divorce.

6/1/2009 USA Little Rock, AR Muslim convert shoots two soldiers outside of recruiter station; one soldier dies.

Here is the Truth: the Ft Hood terrorist attack was the worst on American soil since 9/11.
And Mr Obama full well knows that any terror attack on American soil during his administration will doom him for a second term. Therefore, it is in his political best interest to craft and shape and mischaracterize any Islamist attack away from that focus and into the “isolated violent act” category with no reference to Islam whatsoever. Hence his current moves.

Those persons who died were disposable — for Mr Obama’s politics. You. Me. We would have been disposable as well. Do you realize how incredibly craven and disgusting that is?
Ah, Islam: the religion of peace, tolerance, understanding and respect for women.

Daily Kos: STOP Dollars to Dems

Markos Moulitsas, who started the Daily Kos, seems to think that it’s time to stop writing checks to the DCCC. He stated so here.

It’s because the Demorats are insufficiently Left for the Left.

This is a wonderful thing. It’s what I’ve been writing for, literally, years: the Demorats really are insufficiently Left for the Left.

I couldn’t have said or written it better myself: stop sending money to the Demorats. Pure!

The Dems/Kos is/are agitated here.

Glenn Thrush at Politico writes:

Kos impresario and [Tancredo hunter] Markos Moulitsas is urging fellow liberals to ditch donating to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — because the party is backing a slew of battleground district moderates/conservatives who voted against the big health care bill on Saturday.

Omigawd! You mean —gulp! — that everything isn’t pure?

No.

Not quite.

Conservatives have problems?

Well, Leftists, Socialists, Marxists, Fascists have them too.

Imagine that.

All is not lost yet.

Take heart.
