She doesn’t have the votes

Photoshop: Ray D.
Know your failure, Nancy. And own it:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi counted votes Thursday night and determined she could not pass a “robust public option” — the most aggressive of the three forms of a public option House Democrats have been considering as part of a national overhaul of health care.
Pelosi’s decision—coupled with a significant turn of events yesterday during a private White House meeting—points to an increasingly likely compromise for a “trigger” option for a government plan.
Administration officials have been telling POLITICO for weeks now that this the most likely compromise because it can probably satisfy liberals—albeit only reluctantly and after many vent frustration and some even threaten to walk away from the bill.
This would clear the way for backers to sneak a limited public option through the Senate by attracting moderate Democrats and then to win President Barack Obama’s signature.

michelle; this b***h will castrate weak kneed politicians until she gets the votes. this person is despised and feared, with good cause.
She’ll get the votes. She’ll pass out the pork.
Hey NANA, do you smell 2010 coming???
We absolutely must vote Nancy Pelosi out of office in 2010!
Dana Walsh is running against Pelosi in San Francisco.
http://www.DanaWalshForCongress.com
…but she’s got the nads. BIG ones too.
In other words, by hook or by CROOK, they’ll get it any way they can!
That will shoot more holes in the Constitution and our sovereign liberties, no doubt!
Nothing that a wooden stake and a wreath of garlic couldn’t cure.
Well, it does not really matter. What should happen is an up or down vote.
Yep, there is the tradition and accepted practice of vote counting. Does not matter. People misrepresent what they are going to do all the time.
Just vote.

Good news this Friday from DC. The Blue Dawgs must be worried to jump the sinking ship of the public option.
Speaking of Dawgs, and completely off topic, am rooting for the MSU Bulldogs tomorrow against the Florida Gators!
What if the bulldogs end up like this?
Pelosi’s book title was misprinted…it should have read;
“Know You’re a Failure.”
I’ll bet the ghostwriter received more money writing the book, than Pelosi received from actual sales of whatever you want to call this tome.
Dear Rogue Cheese: won’t happen. Florida hasn’t won since 1985 in the haunted state. Of course, Tebow could change that. Don’t count MSU out of that game.
Regarding Pelosi: I am thinking her botox may be having problems fighting the growing Democrat frustration these days. I am sure she needs some work to fight her furrowed brow.
I thought they passed this bill before the August recess? They had the votes back then too. Or did they? This gang that can do “more than one thing at a time” seems to be unclear on a very important concept: it’s not how many jobs you put in the hopper but how many you finish.
Lucky for us, these guys can’t finish anything they start.
I just pray ‘she doesn’t have the votes’ the next time she is up for re-election. This old gal needs to go by- by!

They hadn’t beaten the Canes since 1984. But that changed last year.
Sorry, but I’d bet on the Gators.
Or stuffing it full of crap and expecting to get prime beef squeezed out the other end.
When I see the phrase “trigger option” a whole different image comes to mind.
You also have to cut off her head.
I was in a local high school yesterday and was in one of the classrooms. There was a professionally made poster of “Rosy the Riveter” from WWII with a smiling Nancy Pelosi face… it was frightening. There were several
“Yes we can” posters of Obama and a very tiny one of Bush with “Is our students learning” printed under it…
What they are teaching our students… oh my.
Trigger? Any one think it will be a “hair” trigger that will go off with just the lightest of pressure?
Don’t believe this for a minute. This is nothing more than a ploy to get people to let down their guard.
Keep the pressure up on these crooks. Don’t let up for a second.
If conservatives can hold their feet to the fire—the RNC’s collective feet and without Newt’s hot air—then we will see the pendulum swing in 2010.
That is my hope and prayer, for what it is worth… The nation’s eyes are on the next few races for governor (in VA and NJ) and that seat in NY-23—’bye, Dede. There is a sense of fear in the Democrats this season.
Is the new conservative party the “Tea Party?”
Lindsay: Good luck, my Razorbacks came THIS close last week but the refs blew it! Because of their late (and BAD!) calls that kept Gator drives alive, the crew was suspended for several games by the SEC. Had they been in Arkansas, they would have been suspended alright, by a rope with a noose in the end!
I certainly hope so! Oh wait, you meant the OTHER trigger….
If we could only get close enough to dunk a bucket of water on her!
Botox settling ponds…
All this giant load of liberal government takeover BS for what should be a four year bid process for large group private insurance.
Love those qualifiers!
Mr. Obvious says: “I can’t get no satisfaction”.
Visceral imagery causing unsettling stomach reaction.
Must…Regain…Thought.,,Process.
Not having the votes has never stopped the democrats. They will borrow, steal, and spend, threaten, cheat, and cajole to make sure every illegal democrat, their relatives, friends, and miscellaneous acquaintances gets the healthcare they need to vote correctly or at least be counted correctly.
Maybe they’re talking about Roy Roger’s Trigger and they’re just going to stuff us all.
The way they coddle Islamofacists, you may not be far off.
Ooo-Pig-Sooie!
More likely, she will see to it that any “trigger” is “triggered” both through design and execution.
The Donks know better than anyone that there’s more that one way to skin a cat, or as in this case, a Nation.

Own Your FAILure.
Man I would LOVE to see MSU pull off the upset, but I just can’t see them scoring more than 10-13 points. Anthony Dixon’s a great back, but Florida is brutal at stopping the run.
However, I would bet on the Gators losing at least one game before the regular season’s over. Georgia’s got this week off before facing them next week, and while their D stinks, their biggest weakness is pass defense – and Florida really doesn’t have a passing game. Then Florida plays SC in Columbia – a game you know Spurrier’s already dreaming of.
SEC football > MLB playoffs > politics > all other American sports > Nancy Pelosi in lingerie > MSNBC primetime lineup > soccer.
I’ll bet Pelosi received a lot of money for her failure of a book. This is a way for Democrats to skirt campaign finance laws and funnel money directly to Nancy. The publisher itself probably takes little to no profit to pass money through to its favorite politicos. Yes, call me cynical when it comes to Democrat politicians.
Oh man, now you’ve gone and done it. I just ate for crying out loud! I did NOT need that mental picture.
I hope so, Obama is going to need a pair before his presidency is over and he sure can’t use his own.
Does she weigh as much as a duck?
Fly – This is a grave insult to witches. Please consider recanting. I understand SEIU will soon have control of the wizzard industry. Be vewy careful.
Oh ……. all right. I recant
I was hoping we could use her for bridge material….. SIGH
We just have to keep fighting. These people don’t have the stomach for a real fight. Refuse to submit! Punish those politicians that are traitors! Answer all insults and attacks immediately. As Bruce likes to sing, no retreat, no surrender!
A picture to add to this thread:
Nancy Pelosi
Rob,
Swede is NOT going to like that picture.
Nice thing to display during the Haloween season, however.
Someone said that she is going to shoot holes in the Constitution. I say if things keep going like they are, we soon won’t have a Constitution.
Fly & Rob
She’s a witch!
But how do youknow she is a witch?
Wull, she turned me into NEWT!
AAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
It’s desperation time for the Obamacare clowns. I just got this email from everyone’s favorite Vice President, Joe Biden:
Heh-heh! Like I’d contribute. Note the “clever” use of Da One’s first name like he and I are buds. I wonder who wrote this for ol’ Joe?
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force! Honest, I just signed up for the SEIU online “healthcare summit” to see what would happen. Now I’m getting all this funny stuff in my email. The resistance is here; the resistance is now! RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

San Diego… little Mexico.
Trigger? I knew it fely like someone was holding a gun to our heads…and the Dems don’t even like guns. Fact is, why use them when they can take what they want without a shot being fired.
I would still have gone to the office on this. If the principal wouldn’t do anything, I’d complain to the school board, and I’d be hammering the school district in the newspapers, on radio, and TV.
I was the CFC officer for our headquarters back in my Army days and had to go to the local DODDS school to give the teachers a opportunity to contribute. One of them said, “I hope there’s a depression so a Democrat will be elected President.”
When I asked her if she understood the ramifications of a world-wide depression and asked her what she had against people in general, she got snooty like I was one of the great unwashed and uneducated. (I was just an Armor Captain at the time working as the Installation Coordinator and Site Security Office for a Corp-level Headquarters.) BTW, she didn’t contribute.
Yes, I went to the principal whose major concern was that I would report this to the community commander. She didn’t contribute, either.

Chickaboomers got a poll up Should Roger Ailes of Fox News run for President in 2012 there is a Glenn Beck for his VP option GRIN.
poll is in the top right hand corner.

She doesn’t have the votes, but she has a lot of gall.
“She doesn’t have the votes” COULD be true, could be just a ploy but whatever Health Care Reform these Leftist SOBs pass will be a horrible assault on our Liberties, autonomy as a free people, constitutional government and Rule of Law.
Social Security will look like a bargain compared to this health bill… in any form.
Please note: 100′s of millions now depend on an unauthorized contract made by the government(SS). The government never had the authority to bind anyone to this contract. How can you impose a contract on yet to be born people? The government collects for this contract, spends the money elsewhere, borrows money to pay for the shortfall, and steals everyone’s money to do all this.
Still they are $trillions in the hole!
Good read here, someone tell Nan she should really know this stuff…it’s kind of important!
Let them pass the damn thing. We just need to get enough conservatives elected in 2010 to over turn it.
