“There is still 60 votes required to end the debate and the socialists do not have the 60 votes as long as the bill contain the current version of the public option.”
They are roughly 1-2 votes away from attaining this goal. There is plenty to panic about due to the fact that we are totally beholden to politicians who continually deceive Americans with legislative gimmicks and trickery. They can be bought with gimmicks like “triggers” and “optouts”.
A RINO could bolt or Liebermann...if we hold this off it is likely by one vote, if we hold it off.
When do we panic? After we lose?
It’s too close not to be alarmed. The Dems are much better than GOP at these legislative games.
1 or 2 votes away from Socialism and the beginning of the end for our country...yep, nothing to panic here /sarc off.
Be alarmed yes but PANIC is way overblown and stupid at this early stage.
When do we panic? NEVER. WE FIGHT! Panic begets discouragement and defeat. We’re in a cold civil war. This is only one battle. We will win if we stick together and stay fighting mad. But avoid losing your cool, ever.
Bingo....way too much Prozac being used on this thread ;)
The Dems will ram anything through. Scale it down as far as need be to pass. By then it will be too late. They will simple add all the crap back on after it passes.
It’s a monster turd that will ensure a Euro-pee-on style socialism in America. Conservatives can kiss goodbye any hopes of being elected unless they are just as good at promising the electorate all the health care goodies that the DEMONCRATS are handing out. It’s a disaster. Freedom itself is a stake.
“When do we panic? After we lose?”
That was the philosopy B.OR used to avoid discussing these “health care” bills. “We realy don’t know what’s in the bill untill it is passed.” See how it worked out for him?
