Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA) is one of the key members Democrats are attempting to sway in favor of government-run health care. And he may still vote for the massive government legislation with all of its Medicare cuts, taxpayer funding for abortions, and tax hikes. (Call him.)

But Altmire isn’t happy with the proposed “Slaughter Strategy” being pushed by his party. That is a reference, of course, to Democratic plans to bypass a vote on government-run health care in the House of Representatives by having Pelosi just “deem” the legislation passed. It’s completely unconstitutional and undermines democracy, but it’s also par-for-the-course for this Congress.

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.), a member of the Blue Dog and New Democrat Coalitions, said that the plan to pass the plan using the so-called “deem and pass” procedure is “wrong” and unpopular among his constituents.

“There’s a lot of discomfort with the reconciliation process, the self-implementing rule, where you wouldn’t have a formal vote on maybe the most important policy of the past 40 years,” he said on Fox Business Network. “I have a big issue with the way they’re doing the process. I think it’s wrong and my constituents don’t like it.”

Imagine his constituents having a problem with the elimination of democracy and implementation of an oligarchy lead by Nancy Pelosi. I did not see that one coming.

Altmire, a no vote on the House’s healthcare bill in November who is now undecided, is seen by many as critical to passage.
