The U.S. Senate plans to vote late Saturday night on a Motion to Proceed which would bring the 2094-page Senate "health care" legislation to the floor. This Motion needs to attract 60 votes in order to overcome a filibuster. Conventional wisdom has it that all Republicans will vote against the Motion, and a few vulnerable so-called "moderate" Democrats are on the fence. It would presumably require only one or two of these "moderates" to join the Republicans in order to kill the bill.
At the suggestion of author and radio talk show host Mark Levin, I have tried calling the so-called "moderate" Dem Senators (Lincoln, Landrieu, Nelson and Bayh) at their Washington fortresses and all of their field offices to urge them to vote "No"on the Motion to Proceed. It would appear that our benevolent and wise political masters (f/k/a public servants) don't really care what the "folks" think. When I don't get a busy signal I get a voice mailbox. When I get a voice mailbox it is invariably full.
I would like to think that the constituents of these worthies are ringing their phones off the hook. But I have this sinking feeling that the phones have been taken off the hook by our munificent rulers since they already know what the people think and really don't care.
Naw. They wouldn't be that craven. Would they?
