[b]Pelosi: Lawmakers Should Sacrifice Jobs for Health Care[/b]


In an interview with ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was noncomittal when asked directly whether Democrats had locked down the 217 votes necessary to pass health care reform in the House.

“Well right now we’re working on the — on the policy,” Pelosi said in response. “The — the president put a — a — I think a good proposal on the Internet on Sunday. We’re examining that very carefully to make sure it has all the affordability we need for the middle class. All the accountability for the insurance industry. I — from the meeting on Thursday — the summit meeting, I — I believe that we’re ready for the next step, which is to write legislative language, and then go from there.”

But Pelosi was clear the health-care reform would pass, no matter the consequences.

Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue’s massive role in this election year.

Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program “This Week.”

“We’re not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress,” she said. “We’re here to do the job for the American people.

Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee warned Democrats Sunday that forcing the health care bill through using the process of reconciliation would be politically disastrous.

“For the rest of the year we’re going to be involved in a campaign to repeal it,” Alexander said on This Week. Using the budgetary process known as reconciliation to overcome a Republican filibuster, he said, would be a “political kamikaze mission.”

Alexander, the Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, was echoing comments he made last year when he was justifying using parliamentary tactics to delay a vote on the health care bill.

We’re very unified and have been, but the reason we are is we see the Democrats determined to pursue a political kamikaze mission toward a historic mistake,” he told ABC’s Top Line in December.

He has made similar comments on the Senate floor.

"....sacrifice jobs"???????

But she's told us of the 400,000 jobs it will immediately create.

That number sounds about right for a trillion TAX dollars being spent to save us a few billion!

Besides the fact that she is inarticulate, Pelosi is delusional. When, if ever, has the Congress voted in the best interests of the nation over their own interests? Not in recent times, that is for sure.

Has Nancy had one treatment to many ?

A New Reason to Frown

Does Botox get into the brain? Troubling research contradicts earlier findings about the treatment.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/131749

snip
Neurons at the injection site—the whisker muscles—absorbed some of the toxin and passed it along to other neurons they connected to, the researchers report this month in The Journal of Neuroscience. Within three days, the toxin had migrated from the whisker muscles to the brainstem, where it disrupted neuronal activity. "The discovery was quite serendipitous ... and surprising," Matteo Caleo, who led the study, told the journal Science. "A significant portion of the toxin is active where it's not intended to be."

She is a perfect example of the current Dem administration - of the current Dem leadership.

What are jobs when you are trying to take over a country? As long as the little people get Gov't stipends, they should be quiet why we do the important work.
