Ok so here we go.

"Show up, debate the bill, offer amendments, have a healthy debate, but you don’t have that debate if you’re hanging out down in Rockford.”"

Pelosi: Pass Health Reform So You Can Find Out What

"Speaking Tuesday to the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties, Pelosi began the windup of her healthcare pitch by alluding to the controversies over the healthcare bill and the process by which it has reached its current state. Then, just after saying, "It's going to be very, very exciting," Pelosi gaffed, telling the local elected officials assembled that Congress "[has] to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it, away from the fog of controversy.""

Any more straw men you like demolished?

There will be no debate if the Senators show up, only a vote.
