Is anybody really shocked that this passed? Moreover, is anyone wondering why the democrats don’t seem concerned about the political fallout? Could it be that they know that the next bill through will 1)create nationwide automatic voter registration; and 2) grant immunity and voting rights to illegals thereby obviating the need for the democrats to fear political fallout? Yep, part two of this is coming up. But hey, at least we punished those Republicans in ‘06 and ‘08.

Somebody clearly held out....I'm somewhat confused*. If you have marklevinshow.com I wish someone would verify. But 60 is the 'full' dim part.

*I'm also pissed, drinking and ready for battle. For those of you that didn't see the 'line in the sand' months ago, this should hit you in the face full throttle 'WAR' has and is being declared on "Americans".

...Reid. You're such a nimrod
"Nimrod has since ancient times traditionally been considered the creator of the Tower of Babel.

He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power."

I would think that Reid is probably more like Nimrod's "Lord High Priest!"

“But hey, at least we punished those Republicans in ‘06 and ‘08.”

You betcha, Flip! I was one of the few that b*tched long and loudly about the last election cycle and the ‘patriots’ that sat on their hands at the time!!

But, in reality, getting Republicans on the same page is like herding cats. And in some ways that’s good because we are all independent and hard working and don’t have TIME to do anything political (other than b*Tch about it) because we’re all ‘Good Little Capitalists’ who are out making a buck and paying our taxes so the indigent and lazy can stay home and do nothing all d@mn day.

In reality, we’re a bunch of SUCKERS. I’m getting tired of pulling this wagon that just gets heavier with the DEAD WEIGHT of ‘My Fellow Americans’ with each passing day.

*SIGH* But I’m on your side, if that means anything. :)

In her remarks, Landrieu said, "I've decided that there are enough significant reforms and safeguards in this bill to move forward, but much more work needs to be done." She also touted the $100 million included in the legislation to help her state cover its costs under Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor.

She touted a $100 million dollar bribe????? Whoa, this country is long overdue for term limits.

Dittos........what the hell? This is a 'weak link' and Joe Liebermann....in spite of what anyone thinks...is a good man. I say we target them. But I'm still wondering about Voinovich...WTF?

Thanks but I can’t credit for the data organization. It was nothing more than copying the source code and pasting it into the posting window.

We. Are. At. War.

Your's too! But, wars have ended when nations no longer had resources to continue fighting.

I fear the death panels will be looking into ideology and lineage about the time you and I stand before them.

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

But now all it needs to pass is a simple majority, not 60 votes or am I wrong on that?
