Georgia Rep. Nathan Deal had planned to step down next week to run for governor, but his office tells David Freddoso that he's sticking around longer to be a vote against the health care bill. This carries some significance, because if Deal were to have retired, Pelosi would have been able to pass a health care bill in the House with 216 votes. Now she'll need 217.

God bless Nathan Deal. ObamaCare must be defeated!

Nathan Deal was my congressman for most of the decade I lived in the Atlanta area. What's even better about this was that he was originally elected as a Democrat, and switched parties not long after the 1994 election. God bless him indeed for fighting the good fight on this.

His action must make Pelosi just grind her dentures, don't you think?

Or make her botoxed face explode.

Over the long run, the *only* road to fiscal responsibility involves tough cost constraints on health care in general and medicare in particular. Over the next 10 years, current health care reform proposals are scored so as to reduce budget deficits by a modest amount. (There are some complaints about years 11-15.) Current proposals are wholly consistent with traditional fiscal prudence, but admittedly out of whack with modern conservative budgetary profligacy. For shame, Mr. Deal.

"Modern conservative budgetary profligacy?" As opposed to liberal 'fiscal prudence' right? That's a shrieker.
You fools on the left wouldn't know 'fiscal prudence' if it bit you on the behind! LOL

Surely, you jest. For shame, liberal moron.
