This was Obama's plan all along. Signal support for public option but never make it a requirement. The key was to get Reid and Pelosi to publically show strong support for it, then sell out the liberal progressives if need be. Since late summer MSNBC Ed Schulz has been saying he suspects the sellout.
What could kill it is if progressives figure out they have been betrayed.

The Bill has no chance in the House without the public option. The CBC has already began to express displeasure with 0. I still think this bill is ultimately dead.

The key is that the socialists want to get their dirty mits on 1/6 of the US economy.Once these pathological liars get their hands on it, it's theirs to destroy as they see fit.

This whole thing is a scam.
The Republicans are just as guilty as the Democrats for this BS show.
This is just a ‘round about way to f**k you all over. They spend, and spend, and spend, and when the house of cards begins to fall, they create elaborate ways to screw you out of more of your paycheck.
You sorry bunch of slaves.

So appalled by and opposed to this “woman” am I, that were she to say tomorrow that Jesus is Lord, I’d almost want to become an atheist, because I don’t believe a word she says.

Like I always said, the final step is for Pelosi to join Reid and Obama in betraying liberal progressives (who are already very enraged.) Will the libs give in like sheep? Or will they help us destroy this bill (some conference bill anyway) and the Democrat party?? Stay tuned! This is not over yet.

FR needs a thread on ways to avoid the health care fiasco from how to skip out on it being taken out of your paycheck all the way to ways that you can secure yourself from debtors prison.
I’m terrible at making a thread, I have done jut TWO but I have over 6,000 postings.
I think its our patriotic duty to fellow Americans to find ways of patriotic resistance to unconstitutional laws.
