If I hadn’t read it, I’d never have believed that Pelosi’s Democrats are actually considering a way to pass the Senate’s health care bill without voting on it. Here’s what they’re planning:

House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday.

Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.

This is exceptionally warped. This is what’s done in banana republics, not in the People’s House. Then again, it’s Louise Slaughter’s idea. She’s the representative from the Blair House Summit who talked about someone who was without health insurance so she used her dead sister’s dentures.

Here’s more information on what they’re considering:

The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama’s massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.

The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter’s scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply “deeming” the Senate bill passed in the House, without an actual vote by members of the House.

If you’re represented by a Democrat, I’d strongly suggest that you walk into th at Democrat’s local office and tell them that this representative had better vote against this bill. I can’t urge this strongly enough.

Hubert Humphrey, Pat Moynihan and Paul Wellstone would be hopping mad if their Democratic Party even considered such a tactic. They wouldn’t hesitate in speaking out against Rep. Slaughter. In fact, I’d bet that they’d march into her office and read her the riot act, then demand that Democrats stand for voting and democracy, not for ‘deeming’.

Democrats voting for the changes under this rule would be voting for ramming health care legislation down our throats. We won’t let them say that they were just voting for the changes. Based on the Democrats’ information, they’d be voting for the Senate bill AND for the House changes.

That’s the type of thing that thugs would attempt. If the Democrats try pulling off this stunt, then Republicans should run day and night on this issue alone. Republicans should use this as EXHIBIT A as proof of the Democrats’ corruption. It’s just that simple.

This morning, Dick Morris said something in his latest column that caught my attention:

Before this last, demented attempt to pass health care, the Democrats would have lost control of the House anyway. But with it, they face the loss of a historically high number of seats, perhaps more than 80.

When I read that, I thought 80 was unreachable. If the Democrats pull off this stunt, I’d think that Morris was a pessimist. This naked power grab will infuriate the people. They’ll turn out in droves to vote out the thugs that either actively participated in or sat silently by while this happened. The American people will tolerate alot but they won’t tolerate Speaker Pelosi and President Obama turning the People’s House into a banana republic.

In the end, the Democrats’ stunt will lead to an historic electoral slaughter of Democrats nationwide this November.
