Why wasn't the Shadegg Plan kept hush-hush? Who told the RTL bastards? Imagine if no one knew and the GOP shocked the House by voting Present and dumping the bill. Pelosi and Hoyer would have FREAKED OUT and delayed the final vote. They would have had to go back to negotiations with the Blue Dogs all over again, and coupled with the illegal alien issue and Hispanic Caucus, we might have been able to scuttle the bill for weeks.

I agree 100%...RTL is a disgrace and must be CRUSHED. However, there were FReepers too who were guilty yesterday, running posts saying it would be "electoral suicide" to vote present. They bear some responsibility too.

Yep. I was there in the thick of it last night. A handful of the brainless. We could have stopped healthcare last night. We could have brought blue dogs on board, at least 6 of them. That would have done it. If Republicans are really this stupid, it's truly time for a new party. Let McCain and the retards have it. We need a Free Republic party with an IQ check at the door.
