Can Dems Pass Health Care?

" forgot to world where we -- with respect to the dams and maybe not having the votes for this what's the problem with and the Democratic Party -- spooking them. Well first of all the bills -- them thank -- pattern ninety pages it just continues to raise taxes starting January 1 but doesn't do any health care reform. And Florida 34 years and you just at election time."

" Tuesday. And now you have unemployment at ten point to where they went out said they'd have a stimulus bill and the president promised unemployment would never go above -- half percent. Well that is wrong. And when you look at the polling number. Why did people vote for McDonald why did vote for -- 70% of them said they voted because they voted to send a message to Obama on his policies."

" And yet despite that message we're still getting not just of health care bill but there seems like they're rushing it because the Senate bill. Isn't that senate version rather sending them they'll be voted on this year. Do you get the I have this sense that perhaps the leadership within the Democrats just don't even care about even even members of their own party at this point."

" I don't think that leadership does care about if they cared about the members they wouldn't put them up on this -- is just like they pushed him on the cap and trade bill. That bill's not even moving anywhere in the Senate but forced them to do it before they went out now they're trying to force them to do it keep it at the at the weekend during the nighttime maybe the presses and watching maybe talk radio's non non to try to force their members to vote for something where you know a lot of them. Won't come back to Washington. Because the people of spoken you have -- town hall meeting in August. In my town hall meeting in Bakersfield 3000 people turned out to send a message and when you look at this bill it's only got."

" Worse sober observer of the blue -- McCarthy how many people do you think really. On a dams are really -- ready to fall of the sort for Nancy Pelosi and maybe not be reelected."

" You know I think there's probably only a handful. I'm sure they need to get 218 they have 258 now they can lose quite a few and still get it through. But each day after that election in the beginning to have other members fall back. Look at the number of Democrats who voted for cap and trade who have now come out. Just after the election and said no they're opposed to health care and made it very loud and very bright. Because they're very very afraid of what the future holds for them."

" Okay we've got -- eleven -- same question but this time. Saying what the president on the hill tomorrow are they willing to fall on the sword and sacrifice perhaps their careers for him."

" Well think how far they have to go to bring the president appear to try to twist twist enough arms. It's going to be a tough vote for them. I think a lot of people are going to be watching athletic going to wait to the dead of night and hope people are. They're listening or paying attention but I think people are going to wake up and see that this bill is just raising taxes a 111. New commissions informs this is just below -- government takeover try to replace the health care you already have."

" Representative Kevin McCarthy thank you very much for your time this afternoon. Thanks for having me -- are -- it."
