Nancy got her bill passed on Saturday night, barely, but the numbers against it are still the same as the day before it passed. It will be interesting to see which group, opposed and for, is the biggest by this Saturday.
Democrats have an 81 vote majority in the House, but yet the bill only passed by a meager 5 votes. That should scare the heebie-jeebies out of liberals who think this nation is poised to accept her bill as written. As it stands now, all that trotting out in front of the cameras on Saturday will be for naught (and embarrassing), becase the bill is DOA in the Senate. Democrats can't afford to lose a single vote, a much more precarious position than Nancy was in, notwithstanding the fact that she barely got it passed in the first place. The 60-vote procedural hurdle will be VERY hard to clear, and the nuclear option will ensure that the 8 Senators who are expected to face competitive election battles in 2010, including Reid, will get the boot. Tis not happy days in the Land of Liberals.

Hey,...I oppose the healthcare bill as written,....ALL 1990 pages of it!!! It will be more destructive than Kennedy's HMO bill, and exponentially more expense than the bankrupt Medicare system.
I suppose that makes me another notch on Barack's enemies' list,...one of the "teabagger,...anti-government type" people he hates so much.
You guys need to give it up? Hey, if the Rasmussen Report is going to give you some comfort and help you sleep at night, then keep reading it. I, on the other hand, am thrilled about the possibility of a more universal health coverage. YES WE CAN

Stay "thrilled"!!!! I hope you are just as "thrilled" when you realize that the same formula that has made Medicare bankrupt is the same formula that this administration is using for UHC. Get ready for rationing, government price-fixing, and a bureaucracy that will be so large that it will be totally unmanageable. And you think the insurance company is difficult...
"YES YOU CAN",...as long as someone else is paying the bill. There's no such thing as a "free ride",......

AeroGuy,
You are assuming that dems/libs use logic and action-consequence reasoning in their decision making processs. The mode of operation is: 1) Pass legislation by lieing. 2) If that fails, pass legislation by force. The consequences and/or unintended consequences to both our nation and their party means absolutely nothing. It's all about propagating their agenda. THAT'S the bottom line.
Wait until all these nimrods who think public healthcare is so great, see the pricetag on it. I'm not talking about the deficit either. Wait until people who cant afford health insurance see how much it will cost them. And no, it will NOT be totally subsidized. The numbers (cost for individual and a family of four) is on the WSJ page. It's a friggin joke.

I like to call it one of the many farcial corners of Liberal Utopia.......
....and then one day they open up their paycheck and see a reduction in pay and an increase in taxes, and then wonder what the hell happened.
