Anybody watching the senate debates?

I posted earlier this morning - "This is the last day for debate on HCR bill. Session begins at 9:45 and I don't plan to miss a minute of it. A few votes are scheduled for 2:13 this afternoon, a couple of them questioning the contstitutionality of the bill. I'm actually looking forward to some tearful, desperate, high-octave hollering from the right. The repubs will be pulling out all the stops and I'm anxious to see what their plans are and what they've got up their sleeves. I'll bet they were up all night scheming. Coburn especially will be loaded for bear. God knows what straws he'll be grabbing at."

So far... same old talking points. I missed Corker's rant, Gregg just finished and as usual he sounded like he was crying. Cornyn's up now. Same old stuff.

He just offered a "point of order"... so did either Corker or Gregg (or maybe both). These may be included in this afternoon's votes. We'll see.

2. Watching

Just started watching. Saw Kit Bond and now it's Enzi. Don't you just love how the Republicans talk about how they were left out of any deals or negotiations? Sometimes (lots) I have to mute Republicans.

The Rs seem to have forgotten the eight years of W when they did whatever the H they wanted and didn't include the Democrats.

I'm sure there are things in this bill I don't agree with but I am hoping it's going to end up being something everyone can live with. I really wanted a public option or even better universal care. Also it will hopefully be improved over the years.

3. I can't to watch it now.

You know the bill is already wrote waiting to be signed.

This is just a bunch of hot air for both the d and r's.

I am going to enjoy the holidays.
