From the DUmp thread on today's news that the White House is ready to dump the "public option". Here's just a few tasty morsels:
Depressing. Our leaders have sold us out.
What happened to Presidents who said "The Buck Stops Here" and acted accordingly?
Make no mistake about it. Obama has sold us out. He's going to force everyone into Romneycare where you buy junk policies that wont cover doodley-squat. And the beancounters will be able to deny even more care. Meanwhile, the racketeering CEO's will get to double their bloated salaries. This is just more corporate welfare.
So much for "Taking On The Private Interests".
i think the idea is they lie like a rug about what he wants and then pass a sham bill quickly
Baucus' bill is the one Obama will sign...More corporate welfare for the pimping CEOs while the rest of us get f***ed even more
Yes, they have sold us out. So public option, just a weak co-op as yet another band aid that won't do s***. Obama said he was for change. We now see that's all we'll have left in our pockets after he forces Romneycare down out throats.
and the Bait and Switch continues
Bribing criminal scumbags is what he calls reform
the royal scam on the american public is in high gear baby-pedal to the metal
This is an exrememly sad depelopment
We already elected an overwhelmingly Democratic House, 60 Senators and the President. What the f--k more do we have to do?
But at least 20 of the Dem Senators are traitors and appeasers including the "leader".
No more donating to the DNC
Get ready for a GOP Congress in 2010. It's a rerun of Clinton all over again
Embarrassed to say that I totally believed him
Stick a fork in health care reform. It's dead. We're going to have to wait another 15-20 years before we can try (and fail) again
You have got to be f***ing kidding me
he is already on track to be a one term President. He will either lose the nomination or the election. And no, I am not one who thought he was going to lose in the past. I donated my legal limit to him in Decedmber 2007 and then went over every time McCain's numbers went up. But I do not intend to vote for Obama again, not in a primary anyway
He also said he would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
The terrorists won. I have said this before, but it bears repeating - Rove was right when he said that Dems are soft on terrorists. He said that after we were attacked on 9/11 the Dems would have sought counseling for the terrorists. Well, terrorists attacked us again on the health care debate, and guess what we did? It's over. I am going to redouble my efforts to find a job in a civilized country. THere is no one here to support any more.
Sigh it was nice while it lasted...guess I'll be staying home next election...F*** those blue dog inbreds...
Get ready for Speaker Boner, Majority Leader Frog Face, and President Palin in 2013The Dems are not getting any more money, volunteer time, or even votes from me. I've been voting Dem since 1978, and it's over.
unf***ing believable!!!! I AM NOT PLEASED AT ALL!!!
This bulls*** "compromise" is infuriating!
I'm not okay with it and that's not why I voted for him, talk about failure!
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN?????????????????????????
We're screwed. We'll end up with a bad government program, either a co-op or public option, which will prove what the Republicans have been saying all along, government is the problem, not the solution. We are allowing the Republicans to dominate the discussion and we will deserve what we get.
Read them all at your Sunday leisure:

One poster on this Free Republic site suggested that DU posters be given end of life counseling. I agree, in addition they should be offered a discount on a bus ticket to the Oregon death doctors. Of course a list of such doctors would be given to the “DUmmies.” In fact, we could offer despondent liberals “Death Discounts!” such discounts including rides in colorful buses right to the door of the “Death Doctor” of their choice. Offer them a full glossy of “The Divine One” as the last thing they will ever see on this earth. The marketing possibilities are endless.

One time... I was at an early season football game at Giants stadium, and I walked by one of the portable toilets they had in the parking lot, just as the door opened. I seriously thought I was going to faint.
Wonder why a post about DU reminded me of that?

I see that the disappointed children still do not understand what is happening. They still have the leader they elected. He is still an ideologue with Alinsky training and Chicago tactics. I'm sure Obama would be willing to go over the cliff to try to pass single payer health care.
But Obama doesn't run things. He wasn't in the Senate long enough to understand how the Hill works. Congresscritters are survivalists first. They won't vote for anything that will endanger their cushy seats or their precious majority.
Rahm understands how things work in Washington. He knows when the battle can't be won outright. He will give up enough to let the Republicans claim victory and still move the ball a fair ways towards the ultimate goal. Obama knows he can't run things without Rahm and the others. He'll defer to his handlers.
I expect health care to drop to the back burner as soon as congress gets back in session and the townhalls end. Then some weak compromise bill will get passed as quietly as possible. All the talking heads will move on to the Next Big Thing.
And the DUmmies will serve up another kool aide kegger and dance naked around their Obama Idol once again.

The funny thing about reading DU is that I agree with many of their posts..but for totally different reasons.

So if they start showing up at town halls and protesting are they nazis? I’d hate to be a dem right now! I hope Hillary runs against Obama.

I’m laughing!!! They’re hanging by their own petards!!
These people actually think a wealthy corporation is more evil than a government complete with laws!!
You idiots at DU, that is like saying that Mercedes was more the architect of the Final Solution than Hitler. “Question Authority” includes left wing authorities, people.

Have them start demanding the birth certificate, and he'll be gone and they can have Biden.
Tell them, it's just to prove that the "birthers" are nuts.

I’d like to volunteer to provide some of that counselling.
To: GLDNGUN
Just my 2 cents: Don’t count this guy and his socialist plans for health care out, not by a long shot. As Rush and many others have said, part of the playbook is incrementalism: just take a slice at a time. What’s more, we’ve all learned by now that with the lousy bunch in Congress and the various special interests, these people have a hundred ways to deceive and can slip the same crappy schemes into legislation in the middle of the night along with all their earmarks and other theft from the taxpayers.
In short VIGILANCE, VIGILANCE, VIGILANCE. I pray that the “sleeping giant” doesn’t fall right back to sleep.
