If true, ahem, then some Blue Dogs and possibly some RINOs will have some 'splaining to do to already angry constituents. They will probably think that mere voters wouldn't understand the arm twisting, heavy pressure and outright threats that they got, but then they also don't understand just how angry voters are now and getting more so each day.
They need to be reminded that a vote with Pelosi will translate into at least tens of thousands of votes against them in the next election. As it should.
Pelosi Says She Has Votes to Pass House Health Plan
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she has the votes to pass legislation overhauling the U.S. health- care system as Democratic Party leaders moved closer to an agreement with rebellious members of their own party.
Leaders are “making progress” with Democrats who want more cost cuts in the legislation, Pelosi told reporters in Washington today, a day after President Barack Obama met with a group of Democrats to try to convince them to back the plan.
“I have no question we have the votes on the floor of the House to pass this legislation,” Pelosi said.
I have no question that her votes on the floor will cost her a lot of future votes in the next election. As it should, but it's her party and she can cry if she wants to.
