Why are these idiots waiting for Easter to past health care

JESUS CHRIST just pass the damn bill now http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-treatment/breaking-memo-outlines-easter-recess-timeline

1. Maybe because they are not idiots

and know what is involved. I do not know the details, but it seems that the reconciliation process takes some time, no matter what.

2. Maybe

They expect those that die between now and then to rise from the dead?

3. Because they don't give two shits about you.

It's hard, but after a while, you learn to accept it.

4. Because it takes time?

Settle down, Beavis.

5. Because they have three votes on HCR to do

Two in the House, and one in the Senate which will be attacked by the GOP with scores of amendments to thwart the final reconciliation vote.

I think they're being optimistic about Easter. Easter is early this year.

6. waiting for the summer recess 2009,

I mean, the holiday break 2009,

I mean the State of the Union 2010,

I mean the Easter Recess...

Do you detect a pattern?

7. We won't see it before November. There are too many scared politicians before this election. nt

10. Yes, because this is sooo easy to do.

FDR couldn't do it.
Truman couldn't do it.
Clinton couldn't do it.

take your rose-colored glasses off.

11. Then don't set deadlines.

Yes, it's hard. But don't say "we will pass it by such and such a date" when they know they most likely can't deliver.

8. If they're going to raise a true Public Option from the dead

then that would be appropriate. Otherwise, the bill deserves crucifixion, but NOT resurrection.

9. Getting Democrats to act as one is like herding cats and little chickies at the same time.

Good luck with doing that over night. Who do you think they are Republicans?
