(2010-03-10) — After telling a PBS talk show host that Democrats didn’t force Rep. Eric J. J. Massa, D-NY, out of the House because he opposes their health care reform bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today said she would drive to western New York state in an attempt to persuade Rep. Massa to return to Washington D.C.
Rep. Pelosi would neither confirm nor deny that she plans to lure Rep. Massa back by offering him the powerful chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee, a post which she said would be “a good fit”, since it was recently vacated by another New York Congressman under an ethics cloud.
“We can’t afford to lose a single independent-minded Democrat from this diverse coalition,” said Rep. Pelosi. “Our party’s strength is its ideological broadness. Unlike the Republicans, we don’t march in lock-step, and force members of our caucus to back an extremist agenda regardless of the impact on their constituents or their careers.”
The Speaker said her message to Rep. Massa would be simple: “We want you back…and we love you just the way you are.”
Mrs. Pelosi said this would be her second attempt to plead with Rep. Massa to come back.
“When I first approached him in the House locker room, he was too caught up in a towel fight with Rahm Emmanuel,” she said.

Ah, the old "towel fight"…that makes sense.
As I said a bit ago, the Dems couldn't pass a bill with a 100% majority…at least nothing worth passing. They could muck up a towel fight…

Can't anyone just tuck their tail and go quietly anymore? Another closet queen insisting on making a scene. On the odd occasion when I get my had caught in the cookie jar I havce enough sense to look at least midly ashamed/apologetic/sorry…and hope to make it go away with as little fuss as possible. But these days caught folks almost seem to revel in humiliation…doing all they can to keep the story alive.
Very odd

It's a wonder that Barney Frank wasn't joining in the shower room towel-snapping fest. Was Rahm Emanuel in a tryout for the Soapy Sales Show?
Pelosi meanwhile is trying to herd her stray cats scattering because of Eric's weapons of Massa destruction. Ironically the media-happy former representative from western New York was voting no because he wants single-payer government-run health insurance. Heh, he out-progressived Nurse Nanny.
Why the push to hold Massa's ethics violations when Frank and Rangel have made whole careers out of sleaze? Just say no must have relative usefulness in the Dem caucus.

Former New York Rep. Eric Massa said sure he groped his male staff, but never sexually misbehaved and doesn't think that rough-play with other men is unusual, even at age 50.

There is a good post at the link that explains how HMOs drove up the cost of health care and how HSA (Health Savings Accounts) bring them down. The latter also do not interfere with the patient's relationship with the doctor or other health provider.
Scrap the bill; it is poison, eventually bankrupting the nation.

"Why vote; just deem" is Rep. Louise Slaughter's solution to avoid a House vote on the Senate's "health scare plan"

Is this nonsense part of the "Slaughter House Five" fix?
Our Congress just makes up rules as it goes. Why are these finaglings even called rules?

Karma/God/whatever…they'll be dealt with.
And as often as not they'll be dealt with in a way that mystifies me…

The flesh is weak as far as vengeance goes, I do not know many people that didn't like the Death Wish movies, or Walking Tall, OR A LOT of Chuck Norris, Steven Segall, or Van Damm movies~! We ALL need work to allow GOD to "repay". Just ask the guy who shot Tiller, or the folks who busted Reginald Denny with the bricks in the riots after the Rodney King verdict or Je$$e Jack$on when he spit in the white folks food.
We ALL need to let GOD have his vengeance!

40 JamesonLewis3rd // Mar 11, 2010 at 11:01 pm
Karma is a Hindu/Buddhist principle, therefore, it is unacceptable to Almighty God and a Christian would never adopt that principle.

43 RAM1 // Mar 12, 2010 at 12:17 am
What you want to call karma, I believe is GOD paying back as HE said HE would.
While this may not be a good analogy or example, I do not believe in luck either, In fact if someone is BLESSED by God with something and they give the credit to LUCK, the BLESSING from God will probably stop!
The tie in is allowing GOD to avenge things for us and NOT give karma the credit for what belongs to HIM. Because HE promised it, NOT karma.

An Almighty God could (and surely does) choose to present Himself any way He wants. To put a limit on God is the height of hubris. How much suffering can be attributed to the altogether incorrect thinking that "our" (whoever) God is the "only" God? Millions of deaths, untold suffering can be attributed to these views…and God weeps (I know…"your" God doesn't)
And yes, I was/am aware of the "proper" context of the mustard seed for whatever that's worth

The attributes of Almighty God are clearly and concisely delineated in His Word; as are His characteristics.
God cannot go against Himself; He is Who He is.
To whom it may concern:
To understand the Glory of Almighty God and/or to understand suffering and its source, Genesis gives a detailed explanation.
I reply to this person's comments because they are misleading at best and I don't want an anonymous first-time visitor to think this person has any credibility just because I failed to point out the misinformation he/she espouses and I counter with the Truth.

Andrew Wommack has a good response to the "just a little-(fill in the blank)-can't hurt" analogy. He uses the cookies baked with a "little" bit of dog poop in them analogy. When someone tells him that a movie is really good and there is just a "little bit" of cussing in it, he asks if they want to try his cookies that have just a "little bit" of dog poop in them, and explains it is just a little bit and they will not even taste it.

So, good "progressive Christian" (worship the government first, then God?) Wallis is lying about Beck, too? Maybe he should go to the source instead of reading progressive re-writes and believing their lies. In any event I'm sure it will only help Beck's ratings even more. I love it when libs try to demonize conservatives, only to send the curious to their shows, who then find out who was lying all along.

"As Sunshine Week begins, I want to applaud everyone who has worked to increase transparency in government and recommit my administration to be the most open and transparent ever, an effort that will strengthen our democracy and ensure the public’s trust in their government. We came to Washington to change the way business was done, and part of that was making ourselves accountable to the American people by opening up our government."

bob: Obama has also balooned current/projected Federal deficits far beyond the marks set by Bush during his years in office. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words …

Sunshine Week, in my opinion, should be about daffodils and cool stuff from 1969.

The focus will indeed be on "jobs, jobs, jobs" if ObaMao health scare passes. Government will expand via the employment of more IRS "enforcers" who will assure compliance and expand its Big Brother capabilities.

Hotair commenter "farawat" refers to ObaMao's behavior re the HealthScare Bill as "Marx Madness." Heh!

David Foster reports:
During a press conference held by eleven Congressional GOP doctors today, Rep. Paul Broun (R., Ga.) had harsh words for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.)
“I have three simple questions Ms Pelosi,” said Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga. “Are you so arrogant that you think you know what’s best for the American people? Are you so ignorant that you are oblivious to the wishes of the American people? And are you so incompetent that you are going to ignore the Constitution of the United States, use tricks, deceptions, bald faced lies to try to ram down the throat of the American people something that they do not want and is going to be absolutely worse for their healthcare?”
We'll know the answer by Sunday.

Scott Gottlieb of AEI says that the middle class will be hardest hit by the adoption of ObaMaoScare:
"The hardest hit won't be those earning more than $250,000 a year—the group that he says needs to "pay their fair share." Rather, it's families whose combined annual income is around $100,000 who could be crushed under this plan.
"These folks will be too "rich" to qualify for ObamaCare's subsidies, but probably too poor to easily afford the pricey insurance that the president's plan forces them to buy.
"Many of these $100K families will be obliged to buy a policy costing an average of $14,700 for the mid-level, "silver" health plan, according to the Congressional Budget Office's estimates. After income taxes, they'll be spending almost a quarter of their net income for health insurance."

Jesus commands us to LOVE one another and am am sorry for going against HIM.
