Flame away, but I don't see how this is selling out. Every single Republican voted against cloture, even Snowe and Collins, but it still passed. We can't stop this thing and the American people know who to blame when this bill's awfulness starts happening.

Chances are, yes, that holding out for twelve more hours wouldn’t matter and this monstrosity keeps moving forward. However, nothing is certain and stranger things have happened. On something this important and with the base so distrustful of the Senate pubbies already, the GOP Senate caucus must keep fighting. Plus, in this political environment the GOP cannot afford to give up something for nothing. Does anyone really think that after this Harry Reid will take seriously any future threats from Mitch McConnell to disrupt a scheduled Congressional recess? I think not. Reid will keep steamrolling along. After health care is amnesty for illegal aliens!

That said, I think the consensus here, and elsewhere is to make this as painful as possible. It is the RATS that have forced this into Christmas, let’s wrestle the basturds to the ground over it.

Rule #1: Never trust a "deal" with Harry Reid. NEVER.

Rule #2: In the face of Tyranny, you DO NOT surrender.

EVERY procedural obstacle must be employed ... as they promised just a few days ago.

Considering the sacrifices made by those who came before us, I have not an iota of sympathy for those who surrender DURING the battle ... so they can be home for Christmas.
