If Republicans, in a bit of legislative trickery, offer an amendment to the Senate reconciliation bill that allows for the establishment of a public option for insurance coverage, Democrats — despite longing for the proposal for more than a year — won’t even take the bait.

Frankly if the Republicans did this, the Dems should pass the amendment, recall the house, pass it there and be done with the whole mess.

The real dark horse is the Philippines.

I’ve made a small fortune by investing in the peso in just three months.

OK, that’s got nothing to do with the subject but with the West in total freefall, and living in what amounts to a communist state without exit visas (yet – but we do have border checks by the Government on its own citizens and you can be refused exit for non payment of a parking fine) I’ve got to get my delight where I can.

I get none this side of the globe.

Carry on. Sorry for disturbing.

Ryan 2012 has its point too.

A pox on both their houses.

I am with Mark Windosr. I don’t like anybody!

That would be Mark Windsor!

I understand the pox on both houses feelings, but maybe that is one of the reasons we have the crew we do in the White House. Just saying….

I don’t think the idea is for the Republicans to “out clever” the Democrats. Why not put their energy into finding a leader and an agenda they can articulate. If not, the Republicans will continue to be portrayed as the party of “no” and a bunch of cry babies. I wish a younger person with less baggage in the Republican Party could generate the righteous outrage that McCain expresses.

It will be interesting to see how all this settles out. Think about it: the Senate is under no obligation to do anything. Obama has his healthcare. The Democrats in the Senate can claim to have supported him. No one need do (or risk) anything more. If attempts to reconcile in the Senate peter out, it’s the House that gets thrown under the bus.

My money is on the outcome that the Senate allows reconciliation die as they gladly move on to other things.

There is not any particular reason for the Senate to do anything. THey have what they wanted.

Sorry, McCain had his chance, and he is one of the many reasons we are in this mess now! He “reached across the aisle” one too many times, and now his hands are sticky sort of like Pooh……

Time for some new blood, except for a faithful few…..

I love Coburn, too. This Texan may have to stop dissing Oklahoma.

If Coburn gets the GOP nomination, and its Coburn vs. Obama in 2012….

I’d vote for Coburn in a second!!

But then again, if it’s Palin vs. Obama, I vote Palin.

If it’s Huckabee vs. Obama, I vote Huckabee.

If it’s Jindal vs. Obama, I vote Jindal.

If it’s Condaleeza Rice vs. Obama, I vote Condi.

If it’s General Petraeus vs. Obama, I vote Petraeus.

Anybody but Obama.

If it’s a bag of CHEETOS vs. Obama, I’m voting for Cheetos. They can’t sign legislation.

I like Ryan (he’s also my Congressman!). He’s one of the few who can take Obama rhetoric apart in grand fashion.

Ryan/Coburn 2012?

Can’t you people just shut the “Biden” up?

Why are such drugs covered by the medical plan in the first place?

Mmm … Cheetos!

Actually, Viagra has other medical uses besides, er, uh, that particular one. After my prostate cancer surgery, my doctor strongly urged me to take it since it increases blood flow and speeds healing, er, uh, down there. They’re so enthusiastic about it that after every single one of my follow-up appointments, they’ve given me sample packages of the stuff for free.

Obama vs. Rush Limbaugh… I vote Limbaugh!

Obama vs. Ann Coulter… I vote Ann Coulter!

Obama vs. Sarah Hey… I vote, I vote, I vote Sarah Hey!

TU&D,
“Obama vs. Sarah Hey… I vote, I vote, I vote Sarah Hey!”
Good Choice!

Blogpost Title: Dark Horse?

Dale Matson,

Sarah Hey is a dark horse against Obama.
