Democrats Announce They Won’t Use “Deem And Pass”

After a week of debate over the process behind passing the potentially historic health care legislation before them, it appears that the Democrats in the House will now not be using the “deem and pass” method to move the bill through the house. Representatives Steny Hoyer and Tom Clyburn just announced to the press on Capital Hill that they expect to have the votes to pass the Senate bill deeming the “deem and pass” tactic unnecessary to pass the bill.

Let’s just hope that the quick thinking individual who registered the URL “deemandpass.com” has already sold the rights to that domain, because it looks like one of the biggest news buzz phrases of last week has, well…come to pass.

    So there will in fact be a vote tomorrow: Where is the posting of the entire bill for everyone to read, “Days before”, as the President promised?

    That “deem and pass” shit was too embarrassing even for Nancy Pelosi.

    The Dems were shamed out of this subterfuge. But their epigones in the media supported this travesty until the last minute.

    It’s really hard to find, Martini. You can even link to it through the FOX News site. Time to throw out the old argument.
