RUSH: I warned you people. I warned you earlier this week. ‘Do not get giddy over the apparent troubles in the House in getting the health care bill vote\u2019 I said. ‘Because the Blue Dog Democrats are at the end of the day Democrats,\u2019 and the way it works in the House of Representatives is that when push comes to shove, Pelosi will bring them in there — perhaps with Rahm Emanuel sitting in the office, Steny Hoyer will be in there — and these Blue Dogs, many of whom are not veterans yet, rookies or second-, third-termers, they\u2019ll be brought in there and they\u2019ll say, ‘Do you guys like being members of Congress? Do you want to have something to do besides just sit on the floor and listen to everybody else debate things and occasionally vote? Do you want to be on a committee sometime? Do you want to be on a meaningful committee or do you want to be in the dogcatcher committee? <\/p>\n

‘Because if you want anything meaningful here you\u2019re going to go along with your leadership on whatever it is, and if you don\u2019t we\u2019re going to find a candidate to oppose you the next election in your district, somebody we can trust.\u2019 So miraculously (ahem) there has been a deal. The Blue Dogs have announced that they have now gotten sufficient concessions from the leadership and they will go forward. We have here a $1.5 trillion health care bill. The Blue Dog Democrats say that the ‘savings\u2019 that they wanted, which amount to $100 billion, that\u2019s good enough for them. So they have agreed now. There is a deal. There\u2019s a silver lining in this, though. They\u2019re going to mark it up starting in about an hour in the committee, a half hour from now. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ll start the mark-up, but there will not be a vote until September when all of the members get back. So that still leaves the August recess for these members of Congress to hear about it from their constituents out there. This is the only bright spot I can see in this, because once they vote on it it\u2019s going to pass. Once they get the Blue Dogs with them, it\u2019ll pass. The Republicans can\u2019t stop this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
