HARRY REID SCHEDULING CLOTURE VOTE AT 1 A.M. MONDAY MORNING TO STOP DEBATE ON HEALTHCARE BILL!!!!!
KEEP CALLING THE SENATE AND CONTINUE TO MELT THEIR LINES:
Definition of desperation: Recklessness arising from despair.
Harry Reid is so desperate to pass some version of healthcare that he will not stop no matter how insane it makes him and his cronies look. I wonder how many of the senators are going to be able to read Harry manager’s amendment before they vote for cloture at 1 AM on Monday morning?
Let’s start here:
Reid to unveil final offer on healthcare bill on Saturday morning
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will make his final offer on healthcare legislation on Saturday morning, unveiling a highly-anticipated amendment to the Senate healthcare bill.
Reid will unveil his amendment with a cost analysis from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shortly after the Senate votes at around 7:30 Saturday morning to clear a Defense spending bill.
“That’s the plan, soon after that vote because we want to file cloture on that quickly,” said Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).
Reid’s amendment will include all the changes he has proposed to secure the votes of 60 Democratic senators for the healthcare bill. The amendment may include a compromise on abortion language, a sticking point for centrist Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).
Durbin said it was necessary to unveil Reid’s amendment and file a motion to cut of a GOP filibuster on Saturday morning to set up a preliminary vote at 1 a.m. Monday.
Lawmakers must vote early Monday to cut off debate on Reid’s amendment if they are to stick to a timeline that would set a final vote on the healthcare bill after 7 pm on Christmas Eve.
Republicans may demand that Senate clerks read aloud Reid’s amendment, which could total several hundred pages. But Democrats say a reading could be completed within the same day and would not disrupt the schedule.
ACTION TIME:
Make sure to go over for the rest of the action capabilities.
Online War Room
Issue: Health Care Bill
The Senate recently inched a little closer to passing ObamaCare, but the fight is far from over.
The vote right before Thanksgiving was a “motion to proceed” that simply begins debate on the Left’s proposed takeover of America’s health care system, and the Democrats’ Majority Leader Harry Reid barely got the 60 votes he needed. Becasue of procedural rules in the Senate, he will need to get those same 60 again in order to shut off debate and actually pass this massive legislation that is over 2,000 pages, costs $2.5 TRILLION from 2014 to 2024, and will be paid for with huge tax hikes.
Our sources tell us to expect at least 3 to 4 weeks of debate and mabye more before there is a final vote to invoke cloture and actually pass the bill…if during this time we can peel off just one of the 60 that voted in favor of the motion to proceed, we will WIN and stop Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the others on the Left in their quest to socialize our health care.

A Message To The House And Senate
Obama's Latest Healthcare Proposal (Because he just knows better)
Those bastards are insane. First of all, DC is having a crippling snowstorm. We’re expecting a total of 22 inches by Sunday morning. It’s snowing right now and sticking since the temp is 28°. The heaviest snow starts after midnight tonight and will be heavy through Saturday night. What are the Senators going to do, spend the night there tonight? The only way they get back to the Capitol Saturday morning is by dogsled. Maybe they’ll enlist the aid of the National Guard with 4-wheel drive Humvees with chains borrowed from Marley’s ghost.
I suggest the lack of a quorum.

Whoops, I have to amend that comment. They set up cots and ordered pizzas! The Senators are staying in the Capitol over the weekend! Yikes! It’s snowing really hard.
Here’s a view of the Capitol building in the snow (live updates):

Let’s all pray that they receive visits from the Founding Father’s before they consider voting on this debacle.
Ron – that’s just what we need. 100 senators deciding the fate of 1/6th of the economy after sleeping on cots and eating food brought in by snowmobile. The insanity continues. Please keep me posted because I have to write a post about just this aspect. Also, the live link does not seem to be working…and man, I want to see that. Footage! We need Footage!!
The main traffic cam link:

The cam you want is 14th and E St NW. It points to the Capitol building. It’s snowing so hard right now, it’s like whiteout conditions so you barely see a flag but behind it is the US Capitol.

One step ahead again! I’m putting up the live blogging post about tomorrow right now.
I really can not stand this woman so this was very enjoyable to watch.

LOL! Goodness, that braying at the end is funny!
K – that’s rich…let’s just spout talking points and ignore reality. I’m posting that. Thanks for the link.
I do not care if Mickey Mouse runs against this guy, I am going to support him.

Florida definitely needs to send a message about this freshman congressman that he ain’t all that – and do not let his career get any farther.
Diamond Tiger,
I like the new look to your emails and page. Thankyou for your constant hard work to get such detailed info out there right away. I wish more people got to see your page daily. How many people would you say visit your site daily that are on the good side. Would it be helpful to Digg your page your send freind links to subscribe. Also side note. Do you have research on current things going on with disclosure project for 2010.
Another side note. What can we do to get the issue of chemtrails and geoenineering into public view so more people will demand answers and the spraying stopped. Seems like HAAAP must be brought to the attention of the public too. Thanks for all your hard work.
Ross – you can send any post out to Digg or email that you like. I get an average of 6000 unique visitors a day and it is growing. The page is about to change again in order to show more different posts all on the front page. That change is scheduled for 1.1.2010 to coincide with the pledge to flip the congress as our New Year’s Resolution for the country. As for chemtrails, I have dabbled but just have not had time to cover them properly. I am thinking I am going to have to invite other writers to the Monster.
Evil conspirator, HARRY so desperate to turn this into a communist country in a blink, is putting the lives of the
Senators, Aides, Government workers at risk in this blizzard of global warming in DC
HEARTLESS beyond description
I NOMINATE HARRY REID as the first conspirator to be wiped out of office in 11 months.
I nominate all co-conspirators : every one who votes for this
I nominate all other co-conspirators, every congressman who voted to advance this evil in the house.
BY THE WAY, Tiger do you still have your GRIM REAPER, I loved that
it was so clever and so creative.
Send him to explain to Harry and Nancy that their days in
congress and the senate are running out.
Of course I still have the Grim Reaper – but you know they would take it the wrong way…that’s why it ain’t here right now. Same with Tombstone “Hell Is Coming With Me”. The left would flip out and accuse us of inciting violence.
