It's Interesting Now To Listen To Senators Defend Their HCR Bill.......

[global1]

their talking point goes something like this - "I share Gov. Dean's concerns for this bill. I too would like to see a 'public option' or competition for the insurance companies - BUT - there are many other good features in this bill we should turn our attention to and be happy with those."

1. yep. that's their line and they're sticking to it.

2. Yeah, good features.

Like that whole mandate thing fer instance.

3. "This car is a death trap, but look how SHINY it is!"

Used car salesman, all of them (with a few exceptions).

5. Lovely plumage.

4. We need a brave liberal Senator to step up and tell the world that this bill is a piece of shit.

We need 5 or 10 Senators to say they can't support it without a strong public option and that they will filibuster it.

I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

6. Can't polish a turd

but they're adding that extra coat of wax with a big old shit-eating grin, in hopes we won't notice it's a turd.
