At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against a health care bill without a strong public option. In other words, unless multiple Democrats flip on their stated position on health care, Speaker Pelosi lacks the votes to pass a bill through the House on the strength of Democrat votes alone. How will the President address this intra-party squabbling during his speech tonight?
57 Liberal Democrats to vote no on a bill without a strong public option
On July 31, 2009, the Congressional Progressive Caucus sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi expressing their opposition to a weakening of the public option. The letter on behalf of 57 Progressive Democrats concludes, “In short, this agreement will result in the public, both as insurance purchasers and as taxpayers, paying ever higher rates to insurance companies. We simply cannot vote for such a proposal.”

I wouldn't put it past them to say that just to get some RINOs from bluer areas to vote for it.

I agree, what a rat says and what he does are too different things.
When a rat says, "I can't possibly vote for this bill." He is really asking for a bribe of some sort.

I'm sure the DNC will pay them off with generous campaign donations the day before any voting, like they did with the cap-and-trade bill.

You know their just going to throw some bullshit in this bill so those who vote for it will be able to say ..... "Yeah, but there was a provision to bring all the unicorns to our state and we would have gotten free government unicorn food made right here in our unicorn food factory thereby gaining our state a bazillion jobs".

TXradioguy, you reminded me. If any of you are ever blue, irritated, pissed off, go to failblog.org and peruse the pics there. Guaranteed laffs, you'll feel so much better.
Mr Mannn hit the nail on the head with his "bribe of some sort" comment. Pathetic that we've come to this, isnt it?

I wonder what Lieberman thinks of this bill.
