Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

It's mostly about "process" now - strategies to get the health care reform monstrosity through the senate, into conference with the House, and then the vote for final passage.
In Majority Leader Reid's favor; momentum. His beg-borrow-steal-bribe strategy to get the votes simply to kick off debate on the bill in the senate may spell trouble later as Byron York writing in the Examiner asks the question, "Why was it so hard for Democrats to even start health care debate?"

Permanent rat majority in control of our lives.
So we can make central government bigger and pass the power on to a world court. Some guy in China will decide if you are worth saving or not. I hope Micheal Moore is the first one who is too big to keep.

They are again stealing money for power. There is a secret slushfund out there.
The difference between a sack of excrement and a "conservative" democrat is you can't attach the modifier "lying" to the sack of excrement.
“Big victory”? He had to write his own plan because he couldn’t get his committees to do the job right. He had to slip it on the schedule because nobody supports him. He had to arm-twist Mass. to re-write their election law.
And he had to bribe members of his own party with hundreds of millions of dollars — just to get them to CONSIDER looking at his bill?
