Pass the g-damned Senate healthcare bill and get it out of the f-ing news cycle and

[Pryderi]

worry about fixing it later and the GOP and teabaggers lose steam before November elections.

[Bluebear]

1. 'worry about fixing it later' - No.

[Pryderi]

3. Is it worth a repeat of the '94 election?

[Bluebear]

4. As the other poster said, they have no intentions of fixing this later.

[Pryderi]

5. It's a first step, one that starts the "slippery slope" toward universal healthcare.

[Skittles]

14. there's no "start" to anything

it's a big fucking payoff to insurance companies and big pharma :thumbsdown:

[Skittles]

13. can you believe this insanity, PT?

JUST PASS ANY OLD PIECE OF SHIT!!!

[Bluebear]

15. LOLOL

It would be comically ridiculous if it wasn't so pathetic!

[FiveGoodMen]

2. "worry about fixing it later"

No one has any intention of fixing it later.

8. Well, that will be your little secret.

Seriously, the tin foil bill at DU must be astronomical. :eyes:

10. They were supposed to "fix" NAFTA.

Which, like the Senate bill, was a complete and total piece of shit that helps nobody but corporations when they passed it. And remains so to this day.

"Pass the piece of crap and fix it later" will not work this time. Once everyone is forced to buy corporate insurance, the DLC will tell us the problem is "solved".

6. Lose steam? The outrage will bring em out of the woodwork.

[customerserviceguy]

11. Agreed

Democratic legislators are in a damned-if-you-damned-if-you-don't situation here.

And all for a deeply flawed piece of shit legislation, at that.

[deaniac21]

17. Beginning to wonder if there will ever be a decent politician....

[ixion]

7. nope. kill it and move on.

it needs to die, because it WILL NEVER get fixed down the line.

[TheWraith]

9. Thank you for the teabagger talking points.

Now meanwhile in the real world, the adults are actually working on fixing the situation.

[customerserviceguy]

12. "Talking points"

The words that posters use when they don't have anything real to argue a point with another poster here at DU.

[ixion]

16. heh... you certainly set the bar low, and

have a deluded metric for what constitutes "fixing".

If by "fixing" you mean creating a mandate to purchase a crappy product from a FOR PROFIT corporation and terms for legal citizenship, well, then I guess they are.

Oh, yesh, they're "fixing" it all right. They fixing it good. :eyes: :puke:
