Down And Exceptionally Dirty.

They still don’t have the votes! If they did, they’d be holding the vote right now tonight (Saturday, as I write this). I’m going to make this a short article tonight as my editor is in another time zone, well, several time zones away. The wonders of digital communication and one of the reasons the left is having so much trouble getting away with their bovine back-blast. It just plays hell with deadlines.

The rubber is about to hit the road in DC. It is to be noted that the Capitol Police closed the people's houses to the people… presumably at the behest of the cowardly politicians whose courage matched their honesty. Thousands of American citizens poured into the Capital to protest the totalitarian takeover of our way of life that is being orchestrated in Washington.



The Democrat leadership has dropped the ‘deem and pass’ maneuver, also known as the Slaughter solution. Let’s see… What do you want to bet that it was not dropped because of an excess of altruism? They got so hammered by the public, you and I, that they didn’t dare use it. It shows you that what we’re doing is working. They can shut us out of the Congressional office buildings but it won’t silence our voices, it will only serve to make us louder and more persistent.

It’s not too late for you to make your voices heard… starting first thing in the morning. The Capitol phones will be on… Congress is in session and will be voting in the afternoon. We called for a straight up and down vote and guess what? We got it. It’s not over yet. Not nearly. Don’t let the crap being put out by the lame stream media fool you…. as of right now, this minute, they don’t have the votes!!

Unhealthy – Outrageous And Embarrassing.

It’s the only game in town… and it smells pretty damned gamey. Obama: “We’re going to provide you with choices”. Then he claims to ‘aid’ education by confiscating another chunk of the private sector by the government takeover of student loan programs. Who the heck said the government had any business in loaning money for schooling to start with? He wants to strip requirements that children need to understand, and have mastery of, subject matter to some one-size-fits-all vocational social indoctrination. More community organizers for ACORN and Union goons for SEIU presumably.



His headlong rush to illegally and unconstitutionally force passage of the Democrats’ long desired universal single payer health care, against the almost uniform opposition of the American people, is an indication of the desperation that pervades his administration and party. Nothing is working for him, despite loaded audiences and a huge majority in the House and Senate.

The opposition, the American people as much or more than the Republican Party, have stopped Obama’s agenda dead in its tracks, resulting in the scorched earth schemes the Democrat House is cobbling together. With total disregard, or self imposed blindness, the leadership is ignoring the absolute outrage out in the electorate.



As word has spread about the possible attempt to utilize the so-called Slaughter solution, to move the health care bill forward without a House vote ‘deeming‘ it to have passed, has spread across the country and it has ignited a raging conflagration among the American people. Americans have an innate sense of fair play. We also have a stubborn love for our freedom and independence. The Democrats seem unable to grasp that as a people we have been pushed too far. Thus far, the Patriotic Revolution has been one based on our political traditions and the rule of law. If the Democrats continue on this path of illegality, suborning our Constitutional freedoms, they may just find themselves on the receiving end of a real political revolution that will destroy their party for the conceivable future.

According to reports, the Anointed One’s delaying of his Asia trip has had no effect on the status of the vote count at all. Despite all of Nancy Pelosi’s grand pronouncements she still doesn’t have the votes for passage, as the American People continue to hammer away at Representatives, voicing their anger at Congress’s continued rogue behavior.
Keep up the good work!! Keep at them and don’t let them up for air.

Rogue Government! Democrat Runaway – Fatal Attraction.

Obama: “We just want an up or down vote”. He lies. Despite a multi-state blitz resembling his 2008 campaign tour the President’s message has fallen flat, despite picked audiences of SEIU goons, medical pity cases, little kids, and a security guard service to ensure that no real American Patriots would be able to infiltrate Obama’s fifth column performance. Judging by polling results, the general perception of the public to the demands put forth by Obama have shown them to be decidedly underwhelmed, leaving our transformational Marxist looking like the blush is off of his rose.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, Madame Pelosi’s parade isn’t looking that much better either. We keep hearing her say ‘we have the votes, we have the votes’, reminiscent of Chicken Little and “the sky is falling, the sky is falling”, even as the Democrats descend farther and farther into more desperate schemes for passage of one of the most thoroughly hated pieces of legislation in US history.

Louise Slaughter

The House Madame may be courting what’s called the Slaughter solution, an extra-constitutional scheme to actually try to cram the Senate version of Obama-care through the House, without actually having a recorded vote on the bill. The Slaughter solution is named after Louise Slaughter (D) NY, the House Rules Chairwoman. In this scheme the House ‘deems’ the Senate version of Obama care to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to pass the rule but would then be able to say that they only voted for the rule, not the bill itself.



What??!! This is so far out there, it’s difficult to fathom. This move would be sure to further inflame an already angry electorate and generate immediate constitutional challenges. Using every trick in the book… bribes, blandishments, threats, promises of federal jobs if constituents seek revenge against what they see as abandonment and malfeasance by their elected representatives. The leadership is trying desperately to rope in the required votes, which as we stated yesterday, they just don’t have at this point.

It’s obvious how desperate they are. This desperation is what makes them so very dangerous. They have staked everything on this very bad piece of legislation. Being ideologically driven, they have deluded themselves into thinking that it’s somehow something the American people want, despite all evidence to the contrary.
