CIVIL WAR!! Progressive Democrats REVOLT
Abc News/NBC News/The Lid ^ | 12/16/09 | The Lid

Posted on 12/16/2009 3:44:59 PM PST by Shellybenoit

You would think that during the Holiday Season politicians would try to have the Christmas "Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Man" spirit, but not this year. The fighting going on in the Beltway is totally disgusting. I am not talking about the traditional Democrat vs. Republican Partisanship, no this is all about the brewing Democrat vs. Democrat Civil War.

The anger over the recent dropping of the medicare and public options is real, extreme and very public.

"Insurance companies win," DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas declared Tuesday. "Time to kill this monstrosity coming out of the Senate."

If healthcare reform ultimately crashes and burns – which most experts still consider unlikely -- it will ironically stem not from Republican opposition but rather Democrats' inability to stave off an insurgency within their own caucus.

“Snowe? Stupak? Lieberman? Who left these people in charge? It’s time for the president to get his hands dirty.”

I hate to inform these nincompoops that the system of government does require for a certain number of votes, the President is not King and I’d like to know if this dumb Rep. Anthony Weiner is making a THREAT against these Senators he named! Being a Representative doesn’t make him above the law.

This is smoke and mirrors.

The libs want to run over the edge off the cliff, and the lib, libs want to do a full gainer off the cliff.

and the sheeple will say, "See, the majority of the Democrats are "moderate".

Coming from ABC News, I don’t know if I buy this. This could be the whole Dem “rope-a-dope” strategy. I don’t put anything past these people.

Nothing as corrupting as power, is there?

When we had all three, we experienced the same betrayal.

since i wanted to view the Revolt of the Progressives from the best vantage point...i zoomed over to DU...and found this little factoid:

President to Appear on WWE Special TVWeek

President Barack Obama has agreed to deliver a taped holiday message to the troops on NBC’s “WWE Tribute to the Troops” special.

The special chronicles the three days that the WWE Superstars and Divas spent visiting military bases and features a special live performance in front of thousands of military personnel.

It airs Dec. 19 at 9 p.m.

i had to agree with one of the commentors to this Latest Breaking News....

“Pathetic”

i am guessing that he can’t even book the Tonight Show any more

this will, of course be aired right after he saves the world of Cap and Trade for AlGoricle in Hopenhagen.

So the truth is they hated the bill too but the only thing they liked was the public option. This is a real stinker of a bill no doubt.

Can you imagine? Dems looking into the “one’s” history? It’s fun to watch the implosion.

Looks like Howard Dean has his feathers all ruffled. He’s ticked off about his treatment by the bamster, and he’s pouncing on this opening.
