Health Care Bill Sent Back To The House On Byrd Rule

by Thomas Wellborn

Senate Republicans identified two flaws in the health reconciliation package Thursday that are in violation of the Byrd Rule.  The Senate parliamentarian, Alan Frumim (pictured), has put Democratic leaders on notice, and the bill will head back to the House for another vote.  The flaws in question are barely noteworthy – one is a technical detail, and the other relates to Pell Grants.  Even so, the bill requires altering, which could prove to be a blessing for both parties.  Republicans will have the two flaws corrected, and Democrats may be able to reintroduce the Public Option.…

A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrat’s lawn, another in a string of incidents against lawmakers after their vote Sunday on a health care overhaul.

California Voters To Decide On Legalizing Pot

The California Secretary of State’s office has validated that there are enough petitions to qualify for the November ballot the question as to whether marijuana should be legal.

California would become the first state to legalize recreational marijuana if the proposition wins. It is legal to use marijuana for medicinal purposes in California and about a dozen other states, but the drug is illegal under federal law.

Militia Leader Calls For Violence

Mike Vanderboegh of Pinson, Alabama, a militia leader, wrote on his blog: “THIS is your time. Break their windows. Break them NOW.”

Vanderboegh is a co-founder of the “Three Percenters,” which took its name from the questionable idea that just three percent of the colonists actually fought for independence. Vanderboegh advocates even more violence against members of Congress than we’ve already seen.

“if we break the windows of hundreds, thousands, of Democrat party headquarters across this country, we might just wake up enough of them to make defending ourselves at the muzzle of a rifle unnecessary.”

Damage At Congressman’s Brother’s Home After Tea Partier Posted Address

On my radio show Tuesday night, Mike Troxel (pictured) of the Lynchburg, VA Tea Party defended posting what he thought was the home address of Democratic Congressman Tom Perriello.  However, it was the address of Periello’s brother, Bo, that wound up on Troxel’s website.  Opponents of health care reform were asked to drop by and “express their thanks” for Periello’s vote. Troxel’s defense was that the Congressman was unreachable at his office, not responding to phone calls, and refusing to explain his pro-heath care reform vote to his electorate.  Now, the FBI is investigating the severing of a gas …

Minister Wiley Drake, pastor of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, CA,  who prays for the president and now the 219 pro-health care reform House Democrats to die, has added me to his imprecatory prayer list.  In fact, he’d like everyone who supports health care reform to die, if only he could get their names for his list.
