The Republican pledge concerning Obamacare…

I didn’t bother to write about the president’s speech yesterday or about the talk concerning reconciliation etc because I consider it all for show to try to convince democrats and some republicans of the inevitability of democratic success. I’ve already staked a $20 gift card on it not being passed by the end of Lent but lets make the rash assumption that democrats manage to pull this off.

If that is the case then any republican running for office should be made to make to sign the following statement:

I the undersigned promise that I will vote for the full repeal of any Democratic Health Care bill passed by congress this session. I will repeatedly cast such a vote until the bill is repealed.

If I am running for a Senate Seat I promise to use the same reconciliation process that is used to pass the bill to repeal it. I promise to repeatedly vote for said repeal until it is completed.

If I am running for the Republican presidential nomination I vow to sign any bill of repeal that comes to my desk.

I Further promise to put up a bond for the total amount of the contributions to my campaign during this cycle. If elected and I fail to keep said promise I will forfeit said bond.

Considering how popular said bill I would hate to be any democrat running against a person who has signed such a pledge.

Cripes I leave the room for 30 minutes…

…and Morning Joe hits the nail on the head about healthcare.

These guys are EXACTLY right about Massachusetts, they are exactly right about what the people think. They must have been reading my coverage last January.

And then they advise the WhiteHouse to pass it anyways because it makes them look strong?

A strong man is able to acknowledge reality and move on. This president is instead acting like a gambler who is on a losing streak and decides to mortgage the house because he KNOWS the dice are going to roll his way.

This guy is just amazing and Krista and company insisting they should pass it is simply mindblowing.

I have one warning to my democratic and liberal friends…

…if they decide to go nuclear on Healthcare.

The day will come when Republicans control both houses and the presidency. If you choose to go on this path that day will be sooner than you think. If you use this power today, we will use it tomorrow. And we’ll do it without the beating of the breasts that is going on today.

And as you might have noticed we have a lot easier time passing bills with smaller majorities than you do.

You first Nancy: Resign today!

Nancy Pelosi is telling democrats in tough races that they should be willing to give up their seats to pass the healthcare bill.

Ok Madame Speaker, since you are so adamant about this issue I have a suggestion:

Resign.

Resign today!

Show your fellow democrats that power doesn’t mean anything to you. Show that you are so committed to this bill and all the good it will do. Show them that you will give up your safe seat in the house in order to inspire others to risk theirs.

Forgetting the political advantage, this will give you time to actually enjoy life outside of Washington while you are still young enough to do so. Spend time with your children and grandchildren, it’s the greatest pleasure in life. You might even take the time to get yourself right with the church again.

Your seat is safely democratic so you are sure to see it kept by the party, maybe you should get the other chairmen in safe seats to follow you as an example.

The world is waiting on you Nancy, do you have the guts to give up what you are asking your fellows to risk? What will the order be?

Go! or Follow?

Update: Another reason for Nancy to resign. She gave my friend Adrienne a headache yesterday.
