I could have sworn CNN said the S-CHIP veto override already failed

[lonestarnot]

and the vote hasn't even been done yet! WTF?

[Fredda Weinberg]

1. They're counting heads ... done all the time n/t

[lonestarnot]

3. No they said "failed," as in past fucking tense.

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. Same thing. Party whips keep track of these things and know

the handwriting on the wall. CNN is not playing dirty tricks.

[lonestarnot]

12. They said "failed."

[Fredda Weinberg]

15. Exactly and don't be surprised when the vote comes in as predicted n/t

2. I'am not surprised. Corporations stick together!

We won't have a real media again until we use the anti-trust laws to break them up into little pieces. There is no competition anymore!

[lonestarnot]

5. And that won't be done unless WE the people see to it.

[Joanne98]

9. Yep!

4. Early this am , it was reported--SCHIP Likely to Fail

I do not know if this is same report you heard. It was around
8:30 am that I heard this.

7. I am in MST zonie. Bout 1/2 hour ago, "failed" as in done gone over finished.

6. It's called

impression management.

10. The Dems don't have enough votes to override the veto. That's why it's been reported.

The Democrats can't/don't twist arms/threaten members to support our legislation as well as the Tom Delay's do.:( HELL...they can't even get all the freakin' DEMOCRATS to vote for SCHIP! It's pretty damn pathetic how weak they are.

[lonestarnot]

13. My point IS the fucking vote hasn't been counted.

[Matariki]

11. veto override was in the Senate yesterday - now it's in the house.

[lonestarnot]

14. Precisely my point.

16. bush and the republicans call this bill an irresponsible and wasteful bill

BUT...BUT here we have them wanting more and more money for their buddies companies in Iraq. It sure as hell isn't going to our troops.

[mvd]

18. Exactly! Now we need to say it.

17. Comcast had it as a certainly on their home page

:eyes:

It will probably fail, but then we should put the Repukes on record for rejecting health care for kids. If the Repuke half-assed compromise would make a difference for kids, I'd say do it, but the compromise would have at best cosmetic changes like giving the program a little more money. And hopefully, we'll get a good bill passed when the Democrats take office in 2009.
