Senate passes Health care legislation, 60-39.

[cali]

for good or for ill, it passed.

Conference and reconciliation next.

[NJmaverick]

1. Yes

:woohoo:

[AllyCat]

2. So much for finding our "hero"

Sanders, Brown, Franken, and Feingold voted for this POS. Historic legislation that requires Americans by a private product. And a faulty one at that.

[Berry Cool]

3. I'm sad too. I can only hope that reconciliation somehow scrapes that part out.

Maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist. But I sure don't feel like one now.

Anyway, thank goodness David Shuster is Jewish, because it's only his presence as host of Morning Joe that's making me able to tolerate MSNBC this morning.

[Selatius]

4. They are all hedging their bets on reinserting the Public Option somewhere down the road.

Let us hope, for financial solvency's sake and for the sake of American lives, that they made the right bet and didn't make another colossal blunder.

[cali]

5. maybe sanders, brown, boxer, leahy and Feingold know a bit more than you.

[AllyCat]

12. And I'm sure you know a lot more than me too cali

I'm just one a dem stoopid people.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. .....

:smooooooooch:

[tavalon]

7. It's way past time for each of us to be our own heroes

No more messiahs. I didn't even watch. Didn't care to.

[jaxx]

6. 60-39

Hoorayyyyyyyy!!!

[WeDidIt]

8. HISTORIC!

This is as historic as the vote for Social Security or Medicare.

[malaise]

9. It didn't just pass

We only needed 51 votes. It's historic.

[MrsBrady]

10. Watched it pass

Flipping between cspan and msnbc. Got it on dvr.

[PCIntern]

11. Which Republican did not vote/was not there?

Enquiring minds want to know...

[AllyCat]

13. DeMint I think, but maybe someone here has the roll call.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Inhoffe

[undeterred]

16. So Coburn's prayer was answered.

God works in mysterious ways.

[niceypoo]

17. We swallowed the Baucus bill...

...because it would be, 'fixed in the Senate.'

The Baucus bill is now the more progressive of the two. At every step it has marched further and further to the right. Lets just hope it doesnt continue even further to the right in conference.
