Sounds like the far left thought they were going to get one thing from Health Care reform but instead the senate wants something else.
Plus Obama was always confusing those leftists on what he wanted. Such as Obama was for single payer in 2003, but since he became senator and ran for President he never once said he was.
The far left tried to get every Democrat behind the Public Option, but it didn’t work. Some people wanted this and some people wanted that.
At one time several drafts were floating around and then came compromise after compromise after compromise and revision after revision. In the end there is a split between the House and Senate as more in the House want Public Option and more in the Senate want Co-Ops or whatever else and are set against the Public Option.
It is such a mess nobody really knows what is in the bill anymore and what bill is that we are talking about as they get revised and amended. Although if you have the time most of it can be read on the web. But not everything as new things get thrown around all the time.
So now the far left is seeing that the moderates have a list of demands or they won’t vote and all the White House cares about anymore is that something passes to make Obama happy.
And therefore this week all of a sudden the far left is against the senate’s version and any further compromise. And they are taking out the frustration on Mary Landrieu, Joe Lieberman, and Ben Nelson.
And so Mr. Democrat Howard Dean is now actively against the bill. Which if it were passed in the Senate would then meet strong opposition in the House. And would meet with more infighting in reconciliation.
I read all the angry talk on Daily Kos just for laughs. Frankly, as a Conservative any bill is a bad bill. And this whole process has become a joke. Nothing is worth it. So my hope is the bill is killed for good soon.
And the Republicans have finally decided to hit the Democrats in the gut while they are in panic mode as Sen. Tom Coburn had demanded today that the Senate clerk read the single-payer amendment offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders — and its 767 pages.
As I understand they never got thru all 767, but did waste a lot of time that was for debate. It took eighteen minutes just to get through the table of contents … for an amendment.
The Dems finally stopped the reading and Sanders blew up on the floor in anger. So far this has been fun to hear about and watch and listen to.
And now Barry O is saying without Health Care reform the country will bankrupt.. Ha! Funny.
This implosion of the left is kind of funny to see. And moderates in the senate know they will get voted out in a year as will the rest of the liberals up for re-election. The writing is on the wall.
sounds like they got the "global warming " freaks from East Anglia to help them out.
I have been gloating at democrats misery all over FR today. I so love it. I remember last winter posting “ The curse is lifted, Democrats will be crushed in the polls next year. Cheer up ” , Three female republican coworkers back then had told me they wouldn't watch the news for the next four years, they feel much better now.
Watching MSNBC and they are angry, depressed, .... everything has gone wrong. How could this happen? How could it not?

This reading the bill stunt is pretty clever because it focused attention on Bernie Sanders THE SOCIALIST. I didn’t listen to the news today but I imagine the MSM had to use the “s” word in public in order to cover it.
