    November 15, 2009:

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Fox News Sunday today that a majority of Americans don’t want the Democrats’ health care reform plan to pass — and that if Democrats go forward with reform, they’ll be ignoring “the opinion of the American population.”

    And McConnell said he plans to delay the bill with lots of amendments on the Senate floor.

    How’d that work out?

    The GOP Senate leadership has privately settled on a strategy to derail health reform if Dems try to pass the Senate bill with a fix through reconciliation, aides say: Unleash an endless stream of amendments designed to stall for time and to force Dems to take untenable votes?

    —

    As much as I want Obamacare dead, please forgive me if I don’t trust the GOP leadership to kill it. As usual it is up to the footsoldiers to do the hard work.

    The grass roots should keep the pressure on key Congressmen any way they can. Because with something as abhorrent as Obamacare, there is no such thing as too dead.

    This thing is like a vampire rising from the grave to suck the blood out of all Americans.

    I no longer assume that this thing will pass.

    As it was written:

    When the perishable puts on the imperishable,
    and the mortal puts on immortality,
    and the guarantors of Life Everlasting
    pass Healthcare Reform
    by Labor Day
    during September
    around Thanksgiving
    over the holidays
    before the State of the Union
    then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
    “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
    “O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?”

    When people clamor for no God but Caesar, Caesar dare not slumber nor sleep, lest he be weighed in the balance and found strangely wanting.

    In a nation of over 300M, at least 3M will die every year. It’s called biology!

    neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    Well, except for the 1+ million aborted which I factored into the figure above.

    That the Democrats had five bullets in their gun that we had to try and dodge.
    (1) Obamacare
    (2) Cap and tax
    (3) Card check
    (4) net nonneutrality
    (5) illegal amnesty

    I thought for certain that we would be hit by at least two of these. Now it is looking like the gang that couldn’t shoot straight will miss us with all of them (knock on wood).

    Thank you God.

    You’ve been holding onto those links for months, waiting to write this post, haven’t you?

    “Some Democrats said that they did not expect any action on health care legislation until late February at earliest, perhaps after Congress returns from a weeklong recess.”

    I said last week this thing is as dead as can be, and they will find a way to send it down the memory hole.

    By February it will be, “What Healthcare Bill?”
