Health Care Bill passes House

218 "yes" show up on the Board.


Good luck getting 60 in the Senate.

Joseph Cao, La.-2, is the sole GOP yes vote on PelosiCare.

Re: Health Care Bill passes House

Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats don't have the luxury of a big majority. They need 60 votes for cloture to even begin debate on the bill, 60 votes to waive the budget rules that the bill will violate, and 60 votes for cloture on final passage. There are 60 Democrats in the Senate. A far cry from the 80 seat majority in the House.

Re: Health Care Bill passes House

I think most of us are upset and my wife is depressed but I try to remember my favorite song by the Gaithers and trust in God.

I'm not gonna worry
I'm not gonna fret
I'm not gonna speculate or contemplate what hasn't happened yet
I'm not gonna worry
He's got the whole thing in his hands
I won't let it haunt me; I won't let it win
I'm not gonna ruminate or meditate on how it might have been
I'm gonna release it
He's got the whole thing in his hands
I'm not gonna worry
I'm not gonna fret
I'm just gonna wait and see, and in between give thanks for what I get
I'll live in the moment
He's got the whole thing in his hands

Bridge:
Maybe lately I've started to resign
So here it goes, God only knows
It might just ease my mind

I'm not gonna worry
I'm not gonna fret
I'm not gonna speculate or contemplate what hasn't happened yet
I'm not gonna worry
He's got the whole thing in his hands
He's got the whole thing in his hands
He's got the whole thing in his hands

Yeah great song.
BUT

Seems that IF this was what GOD had in mind, it'd be confirmed
with my SOUL..as its happened with most all other issues.
Of course, His will................... not mine.

That is not a fair "democracy" at all!
Its fraudulent!

It's those BUT's in life that sometimes ruins our day. I'm not convinced but I'm trying to trust.

Thought you might be interested in the title of this article! LOL!

The major concerns that they point out are also major concerns of mine!
