Damn, I wouldn't be Nancy Pelosi right now for all the real estate in San Francisco. With "Deem and pass" now apparently off the table after all,, she's forced to scramble for actual votes - which she never had, because nobody wants to go home and tell the voters he really did vote for this radioactive bill, which is why she went to the "Slaughter solution" in the first place. She tried pandering to Bart Stupak's so-called pro-life faction, which caused all the pro-abortion dems to squawk. So she resorted to...other means, and apparently got some to agree fetuses weren't that important after all. Meanwhile Obama is giving away as much of the store as he can crowbar off the wall studs, trying to buy the temporary loyalty of other dems.
All this follows weeks of budget jiggery-pokery to get the fictional ten-year cost down below a trillion dollars. Nobody believes a single syllable of what anybody says about this, but the forms must be followed anyway or - well - then we'd be living in a police state. With the lies properly signed off by the Congressional Budget Office, we're all assured America is still the land of the free! And the budget fudging could still bring the whole thing down, because it seems somebody got caught delaying a rise in Social Security taxes to appease the AFL-CIO, which comprises a raid on the nonexistent Social Security trust fund, which is a no-no. I guess Al Gore left the key to that lockbox lying around when he left. This is just dizzying.
Poor Nancy. She wanted the job so bad and now, sad thing, she's got it. And no matter what happens, she loses. She loses if she loses, because she put every bit of credibility she had on the line for it. And she loses if she wins, because those thousands of protesters outside her office aren't carrying bouquets and the endless democratic regime could turn out to last exactly two years. You know Obama won't blame himself for that. Say hello to the underside of the bus, Nancy.

Well yes your Ms. P. does seem yo be a low rent Lucretia Borgia doesn't she?
Save us from Women that want to save the world, their way. She be one scary critter, I have to say: happy she is "yours" and not "ours".
As an addition, I have friends, Canadian, that seem to think this issue could cause "unrest" in your country. Theoretically do you think their are enough sufficiently angry folks to cause a real uproar or do you think they will just try to fix it by voting in the "good" side next time?
That would be Lucrezia, my apologies to Ms. Borgia.
Personally I think that if this outrage isn't grounds for throwing the bums out policies and all, with pitchforks and torches if necessary, nothing ever will be. Given our wimpy history with such people, though, the worst they need fear is losing power till next time, while their "national healthcare" abomination becomes an institution the opposition never even tries to repeal, like social security or the Department of Education.
And she's definitely not "mine."
