Thank you for being the voice of reason. I’m tired of these fatalistic jackasses on this thread. I’m not making light of this bill passing, but the fact is, the way the House is set up, the majority can ram through just about anything they want....change rules, etc.

The senate that may or may not be passed will not resemble the House version. If, and that’s a big if, the senate passes a bill, it will have to be reconciled with the House version, and then BOTH houses will have to pass it all over again with the changes made. That is a long ways away, and THAT is the vote we really need to watch.

In the end, yeah, tonight sucks.....but we are several steps away from this coming to fruition.

Thank you, too...the post-mortem whining and wasted energy has been a bit to take tonight. Of course I’m pissed, but let’s spend the energy on next steps instead of the Louisiana idiot who even if he voted the other way the bill still would have passed.

I am not sure you understand the gravity of the situation at hand. Congress will do what ever it takes to get this monstrosity passed. It WILL happen. The politics we are seeing are like none seen before in our country. Tyranny is close at hand.

All of this process puts this bill right in the center of next year’s elections. Reid has already said the bill won’t be heard until the first of the year and frankly after the firestorm that is about to hit the Senate, it might be longer then that.

So what, we should wait until it comes to step 3 away from fruition, step 2, step 1? Hell, why don't we just wait until it passes the Senate./sarc

You call those of us ready to fight fatalistic. I call you foolish.
