So you think Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, the conservative GOP Senators (all the GOP for that matter) and all the conservative pundits overreacted?
I am sorry, but the march of socialism inches forward incrementally, and this was an incremental move forward for the side of central planning. Many thot the the House would not pass a bill, but they did. Many thot Reid would not get the 60 votes, but he did.
I am not confident that we can predict the outcome of this with confidence.
It seems those many did not analyze things correctly. Many have never doubted that the bill will pass the House and many have never doubted that the democrats will get 60 votes to START the debate which is a very routine thing to do but yet the socialists struggled to get their 60 votes.
