Killing the Health Care Bill, even as Weak as It is, is Falling for a SUCKER BET!

We only need sixty ONCE folks. Changes can be made down the road, with a lesser margin than that 60 we needed this time. I would like to preface this with the fact that I was an Obama critic on DAY ONE (Rick Warren, anyone?) I don't like the bill, and I have said it before, so I will say it again, I am here until the last dog dies (Clinton reference, in case you were wondering), and I don't think we should throw in the towel yet.

I'm just sayin'

2. Its not going to be killed anyway. Its passing whether anyone likes it or not.

3. Realist, eh?

What... ya think we can revamp the law as we go with just 51 votes?

What a concept!! Ya think maybe they shoe-horned the sucker, cracked the door, got the foot inside, got the ball rolling?

Could be. Certainly some of our dems must have this gig figured out by now. Like how to get around the republican wall and begin progress.

4. Unless the House version dominates, KILL the BILL. Mandates w/ no public option, taxing "cadillac"

plans is a recipe for DISASTER for the middle class. It will NEVER be "fixed", because this is what Obama and the Corporatocracy WANT.
