What are you talking about?? The dems. have a big majority, and will be passing their agenda with a larger margin than the republicans passed theirs. Elections have consequences, stop with the melodrama.

Best,

Did you read the article from Bloomberg, or are you just stating your opinion on this? They have planned for every obstacle, payed off those they needed to, and are willing to push this through no matter what anyone wants. So melodrama as you put it aside, you have no problem with this?

You are acting like the country isn't basically split on the issue. I think your world-view might be skewed into thinking fair and balanced is something other than what it is. Based on the data, a majority of the country would support the bill if it was MORE progressive (i.e. contained a public option):


CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. Jan. 8-10, 2010. N=1,021 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Would you feel enthusiastic, pleased, displeased, or angry if Congress passes a health care bill?"

Enthusiastic Pleased Displeased Angry Other (vol.)/Unsure
% % % % %

1/8-10/10
14 33 23 28 2


"Now thinking specifically about the health insurance plans available to most Americans, would you favor or oppose creating a public health insurance option administered by the federal government that would compete with plans offered by private health insurance companies?"

Favor Oppose Unsure
% % %

1/8-10/10
54 46 1


Gallup Poll. Jan. 8-10, 2010. N=1,023 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4.

"Would you advise your member of Congress to vote for or against a health care bill this year, or do you not have an opinion?" If no opinion: "As of today, would you say you lean more toward advising your member of Congress to vote for a health care bill, or lean more toward advising your member of Congress to vote against a health care bill?" Combined responses

For Against No Opinion

ObamaCare is dead.
The rest of the democrats will run for the hills when
Senator Brown is sworn in after the landslide victory.
No one wants to get Coakleyed in November 2010.

Oh BTW, a clear majority of Americans are against ObamaCare.
Is that even a factor any more?

Wrong. I think many people wanted Obamacare. Obamacare was a vision during the election that many people shared with him.

But for some reason, Obama dropped the ball. Instead of defining the vision he had for healthcare, he settled for anything Congress could pass. In other words, fulfilling the promise became more important than passing a quality healthcare bill.

This is why we have the crappy bill they are debating at the moment. This bill is not what Americans want.

Coakleyed is a new verb.
You will hear it more and more as the year goes by.
It means to get blasted by "the people" after ignoring them.
Keep an eye on the landslide victory for Senator Brown.

Great! Lets put the 2,000 page monster in a wheel barrel and
throw it in a fireplace. It could warm the White House for 5 hours.

I'd like to agree with you, what's your take on the article? It seems this was an alternate plan for awhile now, and they can pass it with 51 votes.

It's called "bi partisan" effort - 60 votes

I would like to thank Obama being passive and Sarah for her wonder truth mongering about murder squads-

Certainly is a bi partisan work

It's an air ball. We live in a democracy not a dictatorship.
Just watch what happens. Ignoring the majority [GOP/independents]
is a really bad idea. James Carville will give the liberals the bad news.
ObamaCare is dead. RIP
He will then tell them to focus on the economy for the next 10
months and hope for the best.
Right now Team Obama is trying to "pivot' while standing in a
huge pile of cows*it.
