"Congratulations America, You may actually win the battle over health care. I should probably say, congratulations taxpayers who care about long-term stability of the United States. The senates health care plan has had a hard time flying, heck it can’t even take off. Harry Reid is trying desperately hard to secure 60 votes before Christmas as he knows if he does not, there is almost no chance any health care bill will be passed. "

It will pass, the principal whores of the Senate, Landreau, Snowe, Collins, Lieberman and Nelson have had their prices met.

Remember that song “Beautiful Dreamer”? This health care plan will be altered just a little and will pass for sure. Count on it.

O.K., so I am glad to see someone with a positive attitude attempt to boost our morale. But I have gone thru a list of who will and who won’t defend us, and it comes out with our side losing every time.

Mebbe I have just developed an “Eyore” approach. But then again, I may be right.

‘Looks to me like it it won’t be a Merry Christmas in most of America this year...especially with Oboma the Grinch putting lumps of coal in our stockings.

Didn’t read the whole thing, but just from the headline... my Gud man, have you gone mad? You don’t celebrate ever, never, EVER! They will stop at nothing to get this done. It is living with the devil, you have to be on your toes all the time. The moment you stop to celebrate is the moment you get hit in the gut.

Wishful thinking, at best. The Dems have never been closer to achieving their dream of destroying this country, so they aren't stopping now. ObamaCare will pass, as might cap-and-trade, amnesty, and any other Marxist takeover legislation you care to name. If they pass this one, why stop at just healthcare?

“It will pass, the principal whores of the Senate, Landreau, Snowe, Collins, Lieberman and Nelson have had their prices met.”

I'm more optimistic. Even if something passes to save face for the President, it won't have Public Option and it may not have the Medicaid for 55 provision, and maybe even the mandate will have to be tossed aside. A compromise like that will be just as bad for Obama and the Democrats as nothing passing at all. Maybe even worse.

I tune into Air America on the drive in to work, and I can tell you they are spitting nails angry for the Dems caving under pressure.

The Grinch is fake. Obama is real but there is no way on God’s green earth that he could ever make our home or our Christmas anything but what we want it to be and WE choose for our family to do as always...Trust in the Lord and enjoy a Very Merry Christmas with people who mean the world to us. As for obama? He can do what he wants. One day it will all change back.
