Fallout from Brown victory begins in Congress
The fallout from Scott Brown’s stunning upset victory in the Massachusetts Senate race has already begun in the Congress.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated today that she now doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate healthcare bill.
According to sources in the House, a closed-door meeting was held today with the House leadership during which some strong-and sobering language was used to describe the status of healthcare and a number of other Obama initiatives in light of the pounding Democrats took in Massachusetts.
In short, many Democrats are spooked.
Blue dogs who previously won in red states are particularly vulnerable, and they are not willing to further damage their status with the voters by supporting ObamaCare.
Further, it is now becoming clear that voters in solidly blue states are beginning to turn against Democratic representatives who have held seats in Congress for years. Even Barbara Boxer of California is reportedly seeing signs of trouble.
The amazing thing about all of this is that although the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate made all sorts of threats concerning passing the healthcare bill in spite of the Brown victory in Massachusetts, it appears that Brown’s vote won’t even be necessary. This particular version of the healthcare bill is officially dead even before Brown is sworn in.
The significance of this cannot be overstated.
Democrats and their enablers among liberals, extremist Leftwing groups, Marxists, and Maoists came dangerously close to taking over 30% of the U.S. economy, reducing to rubble the finest healthcare system in the world, and rebuilding a medical conglomerate essentially operated by the government that would take allow mediocrity to trump excellence.
In fact, they could still approve some form of this monstrosity with their current overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate. Patriots, be diligent.
But for now, the ObamaCare bill as presented in the Senate and approved by Barack Obama is dead.
A major change is already on the way in November as voters continue on their mission to clean house. But that change could turn into an ouster of historic proportions if the Democrats dare to march forward with the extremist agenda of this President and this Congress.

This news sounds promising, but I think it is extremely important to stay vigilant. There is no telling what they will try next. They know that they have but a short time until the mid-term elections in November. If they decide it is worth the risk of losing the elections, they may push forward, regardless.
