"individual mandate"


They might have already passed health care reform and would have been in a better position politically if it wasn't for that.

1. Very likely.

[frazzled]

Overwhelmingly.

Next conspiracy theory.

6. I don't live in Massachusetts

I live in Texas. Next?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

7. That's not what I heard

[JVS]

10. I hear their judgement is suspect lately

[Captain Hilts]

3. 'Cadillac tax'. nt

[Bitwit1234]

4. The people of MA have their own Health Care they are not

concerned with the Health Care Bill to vote for a republican to stop it. They just didn't go to vote. Republicans always show up that's how they win. The Democrats sit back on their butt and don't go to the polls. And they were probably upset because of the mess with the banks and then the CEO's getting all that bonus money which came from the taypayer. I know I am livid about it. And I think if Obama would stop listing to Rahm he would be able to get a committee together to stop the crap.

[Smashcut]

5. YUP. And there are many here already saying Brown's victory shows

the legislation is "too progressive." Wrong.

[amborin]

8. PO and Banksters

[peacetalksforall]

9. I thought you were going to say - lily livered. A descriptive old fashioned term.

[upi402]

11. 1. no, and 2. balls

no balls.

gotta admire republicans.
They would not have conceded Massachusetts. They would demand a recount and sue until it failed at the Supremes.
