Senate Deal ?? This is getting dangerously close. The House passed something, now the Democrat Senate leadership and Obama says they have abandoned both a public option and an expansion of medicare. Our problem is NOT RINOs, nor DINOs (Democrats in Name only) nor Republicans, it is those liberal progressives that can make this Obama-care reform pass. The Senate is close to a 2008 victory (not the final victory fortunately.) But it's not too late to have a Democrat meltdown.
Challenge to Progressives : Look! You gave in on single payer, you gave in on abortion (in the House anyway). Now you are giving in on the Public Plan and Medicare expansion ?? Is this what you elected Obama for?? Karl Marx is turning over in his grave. And I am tired of this focus on Leiberman. Your 'chosen one' Obama betrayed you. He so wants a legislative success so bad that he is willing to stab in the back millions of democrat supporters that campaigned for free health care(er Obama.). Corporations have money, banks have money, those evil Republicans have money, take it and give us free health care ! Our stimulus plan worked. We killed millions of jobs as planned and now all the unemployed need free health care. You have no excuses. Stop everything in the Senate and have the House write a Budget Reconciliation bill that requires only 51 votes in the Senate(50 plus VP Biden.). Do it right, not now! We can wait another 6-8 months. Really! We can pass it next October just in time for the election.

Watching Dems meltdown is the fun. But we need this reform defeated.
A huge redistribution bill!
Senior citizens are watching
Catholics are watching — REAL ones, that is.
Insurance companies are watching.
Those seeking healing for their injuries are watching.
How will this turn out?
It is breath-taking. The epic battle. They can't both give up and win. They can't pass a lame bill and win(although this would be bad) , it's too late for that.
When republicans and democrats were telling me this was an easy win for Obama in June, I was posting and saying that this was Obama’s Stalingrad. Right now he just needs a Senate victory before Christmas so he can give another history speech. The Obama revolution is dying.
It’s just too bad that T. Roosevelt had such a “left” hand in pushing this blasted “progressivism.”
He should drag them right up San Juan hill and leave them there for good.
We need to drive a stake in the heart of this bill and destroy the career of every progressive commie in our government. MCCARTHY WAS RIGHT!!! 100% VINDICATED!
