Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal.

The retarded Senate and Obama are going to be so busy celebrating that they will not see that no one, not the left, certainly not the right, will be celebrating with them.
The old meme “At least they did SOMETHING” will not wash as “something” can be lethal.
By the way, when will the taxes come in on this plan? Like how will the people enjoy having less of their check for the next four years for the “hope” of healthcare then?

There is no such thing as a pro-life demorat. They all sell their souls to the devil for the highest bid. I think that when they quit wasting oxygen there will be a price to pay.

Chris Wallace: Sen. Nelson, do you actually know what you are voting for?
Nelson: That’s not important at this stage, what is needed is a takeover of, ah, er, um, well...I mean meaningful change for all Americans.
Wallace: Well, did you know on page 2,347 of the bill it specifically says “Sen. Nelson of Nebraska will be forced to endure a sex change operation within 30 days of the passage of this bill”?!?
Nelson: Well, I...really? Well, we will have to get that fixed in conference.
Wallace: And if you can’t...are you personally prepared to “get fixed”?
Nelson: If that is what it takes to further “change” for all Americans, including me.

If you take the pensions and goodie benefits away from these people as you kick them out of office would make a big impact. If you don’t hold them accountable; nothing but bad will ever happen.
