Push that button. PLEASE!

PowerLine blogger John is agape at what's happening in NanLand...

The news out of Washington is agonizing, as the Dems slowly try to reach the number of votes they need in the House to take over the health care industries. Reports indicate that they are something like four or five votes short; the conventional wisdom is that they will get there, somehow. God only knows what they are promising (or threatening) to get those last votes. The Cornhusker Kickback will look like clean politics by the time they're done.
The voters hate it, as evidenced by Rasmussen's most recent polling.

CNN reports more Democrats are out against ObamaCare...

Reps. Ben Chandler of Kentucky, Luiz Gutierrez of Illinois, Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin of South Dakota and Heath Shuler of North Carolina say they will vote against their party's health care plan, which may be headed to a final vote late next week.

...

Proponents of the health care plan need 216 votes in order to pass the Senate plan. As of Friday, no Republicans said they would vote in favor of the bill, which would mean Democratic leaders must rely solely on votes from its own members. Democrats currently hold 253 House seats.

Of the 39 Democrats who voted against the House plan in November, 14 indicated they would vote against the Senate plan as written, 12 remained uncommitted, and 11 have not returned repeated calls from CNN. One member, Parker Griffith of Alabama, became a Republican in December. An additional member, Rep. Eric Massa of New York, resigned his seat on Monday.

I have no idea where my Rep Bart Gordon (D) stands on this. He voted against the first rendition of Health Care. He's dropped out of sight after getting his ass spanked at Town Hall meetings; dropped out of the re-election circus because he knew his time was up. Will he vote 'yes' for Pelosi and Obama, or will he remember his constituents and those troublesome Town Halls, and again vote AGAINST this monstrosity?

Donut-devouring O-Dub thinks Bart Gordon might swap votes this time. You better hope, at some point, O-Dub, that you have working health care. Those pies and cakes might come back to haunt. Go get a job or something. Fat ass.

Bart Gordon might not be running for re-election, but he has a legacy to think about.

Come on, Bart Gordon, man up, grow a pair, face off against Nancy Pelosi. You can do it, you blue dawg you! We promise we won't let Nancy hurt you anymores.

This photo, of a protest in Murfreesboro against Bart Gordon's Health Care wide stance.

Found with Twisearch, from rightwave's Twitter Pic posting (I resized and enhanced it, as is my wont).

So, Bart Gordon, do you have any idea what your vote FOR Obama Health Care will mean to you?

A vote of YES will stink on you like a 20-day-old dead albatross, and for the rest of your life.
