Does Speaker Pelosi have the VOTES for Health Care Reform ?



Fox News: Reports that the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi could have problem in passing her very liberal health care reform bill. It seems she has problems with her liberal base who want something like the NHS in the UK and the Blue Dog Democrats who want to get re-elected in in 2010. Lets recall folks that there is the Mid Term Congressional Elections next year, and all of the House are up for election, its a good time to be Republican. As when the Congress was under total Republican control the Democrats are over playing their hand, they are allowing their liberal base to define the party. Thus the Republicans have to make the Democrats swallow the fact that their health reform will bankrupt the country and the USA can not afford a one trillion price to tag to keep liberals happy. If your a Blue Dog Democrat you are have to run in a conservative district, how do you sell a one trillion prize tag without getting tar and feathered by the voter in November. In other words what is more important the liberal leadership or the re-election of Blue Dogs. That simple and brutal folks, its about being in office.
