Bonus hilarity: Shadegg (R), bogus advocate for the people, folds himself into a Mobius strip and ends up supporting a Public Option.

1. Go Rachel. Go Obama HCR. Thanks DK, Krugman, Dean, Grayson. Now let's DO IT

[icee]

2. Rachel won't be laughing so hard in November.

[ProfessorPlum]

3. Ooooooh. Scary.

[GreenTea]

4. Yes, she will be laughing & so will I - In Nov. because the Dems will pass the health care bill

The Republicans are fucked & can't do a fucking thing...

The republicans have absolutely nothing to offer but the same old tax cuts for the rich and more deregulation for the corporations....

The republicans are lost, lying hate mongering, greedy elitist, the party of pig shit!!

Only idiotic stupid ridiculous uninformed fools believe otherwise.

16. +1

6. ...and why exactly is that?

[icee]

7. Because, imo, there will be major Democrat losses in November

caused mainly by Democrats (under 25 and older than 65) staying home and Indies switching to Pubs. I think it will be a bloodbath. You, of course, are free to think anything you want. This is an initial estimate. We'll know more in August-September. This is all based on HCR being passed Sunday. the manner in which it is passed, and how many States challenge it. There are two so far, I believe.

9. You think it will be a bloodbath?

Sounds like you're hopeful a Republican.

[icee]

11. No, Democrat since 66. I hate Republicans, although I have

worked with some over the years. I suggest you knock off the accusatory crap unless you have specific information on someone.

13. Fuck that..I'm going for the positive..yes..

get it right there..all positive.

[icee]

14. Good luck with that....

5. The American left

has lost its capacity for direct action. Whether it's "to big to fail" looting, becoming somnambulist about war, or applauding the "best we can get" HCR that will still allow thousands of our citizen to go bankrupt or die annually so 1% of the population than continue to own 90% of the nations wealth; we not only continue to tolerate giving more of our wealth to those who screw us, but in defeat we also cheer-lead for them.

[icee]

8. I'm not going to blame the left as much as some. The Left supported

Obama ever since election and tried to reason with him over Healthcare, offering compromises, etc. Obama chose to give allegiance to Pharma and Healthcare and leave his backers blowing in the wind. What were they do? Between Reid, Pelosi and Obama it was a done deal. It is time for the Left to choose known Lefties to campaign for rather than perceived lefties. Else the same thing will keep happening.
