Oh, for Pete's Sake, Reid. You're such a nimrod.

Nevada? Get RID of this jerk!!

[originalbuckeye]

VOTE OUT EVERYONE WHO VOTED “YEA”. They voted against our country tonight.

[rod1]

“The bill includes tax increases on insurance companies, medical device makers, patients electing to undergo cosmetic surgery and drugmakers.”

Yes and guess who pays for all these. We do.

I am sure this is a cool glass of water for Teddy in his current seat by the fire.

Sister Mary Landrieu, I can only hope that you join Teddy by the fire sooner rather than later. You are a blight on a great State.

spineless.... Acorn wins this skirmish

[Diana in Wisconsin]

My boss just got a pacemaker/defib put in last month. She voted for 0bama (but has also voted for Republicans in the past; go figure!)

I reminded her today that ‘Her President’ considers her a ‘useless feeder’ and she was lucky to get in under the wire, LOL!

Luckily, she thinks I’m kidding, so I can get away with this kind of stuff...

[antidemoncrat]

Stand by for the nuclear option!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Obama, you CAN and WILL go to hell!

[Outlaw Woman]

Mitch McConnell was on Mark Levin last nite and said he had ‘40’ votes and just needed one more. This says 59-38....who held out or jumped?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We now know FOR A FACT that Landrieu is a wh@re. We also now know FOR A FACT that her rate is $100 million dollars.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Senate Dems are not going to pass this without 1 or 2 Republican cross-over votes. You can take that to the bank.

No way do Dems want to own this turkey.

[Outlaw Woman]

L & L everyone.

[Cicero]

GOP: 'This Is Not True Health Care Reform'

No, GOP. We don't want ANY health care reform. All we want is tort reform and a rollback of government regulations that have produced monstrous piles of paperwork and impeded insurance companies from crossing state lines.

NO GOVERNMENT HEALTH "REFORM." Just get out of the way.

[doc1019]

Muslims tend to go that way.

[Outlaw Woman]

Please pardon my error: 60-39, I stand corrected. I must have been carrying a previous post in my head. But he stated clearly that he had 40

[WillT]

How did Lieberman vote? I thought he wanted nothing to do with this bill?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Maybe he was referring to Lieberman as the 40th?

[stephenjohnbanker]

They should hurry it up, so they can claim their 72 Helen Thomas’s

[Volunteer]

Diana, I respectfully disagree with you.

Sister Mary Landrieu is a politician. The job of a whore is respectable. I would far rather tell my Mama that my wife had become a whore instead of a politician.

Besides, I can see paying Sister May Landrieu for a vote. There is no one on God's green earth who would pay to have sex with that fat cow.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Voting yes were 58 Democrats, 2 independents.

Lieberman caved. But, maybe it was just to get it to the floor so it could be killed?
