ObamaCare Swindle Makes DC Beltway Look Like a Kiddie-Car Ride

Posted on | March 11, 2010 | 7 Comments

When it comes to cussing people straight to Hell, the experience of driving I-495 would tempt a saint, but it can’t hold a candle to the spontaneous-Tourette’s factor of Lynne Woolsey’s latest proposal:

As House Democrats press for final passage of a health care bill, a legislative scenario has emerged whereby the House wouldn’t have to take a formal roll call vote to endorse the Senate version of the legislation.
Instead, the House would craft a special piece of legislation declaring the Senate bill to have been passed by the House when the House approves its package of “fixes” under the budget reconciliation process. That would spare House members of the perception of endorsing politically explosive Senate deals such as the “Cornhusker Kickback.” . . .
“I don’t need to see my colleagues vote for the Senate bill in the House. We don’t like the Senate bill. Why should we be forced to do that?” said Woolsey, D-Calif. “But what we need to know, before any Senate bill is passed, that we have enough of the fixes that we’ve asked for, that we will be satisfied with the final product as a beginning for health care [reform].”

Are you saying, you contemptible harridan, that you intend to ram this damnable monstrosity down our throats on a voice vote? Generations yet unborn will  curse the name of Lynne Woolsey.

    This sort of extra-constitutional flimflammery is why the Republicans will take over the House, and hopefully, the Senate also, if airhead ditzes like Woolsey and Slaughter and Pelosi are now mismanaging the nation’s future.

    They didn’t have to read it. Why should they have to vote on it?

    […] And when I say “rules”, I mean “the Constitution of the United States”.Stacy McCain calls Woolsey a “contemptible harridan”. I think, probably for the first time in his blogging career, he’s pulling his punches. […]
