Sounds like they are discussing the amendments Buyer has put forward.

Would protect the integrity and independence of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care systems and state that the TRICARE program and veterans’ health care programs meet all of the requirements for individual health insurance under the bill.

lol you can see what’s on my mind. I thought you said ‘where does she go seventeen months from now’.

[what's up]

These people don't think like us.

Unfortunately we have to go down in the gutter to read their minds.

And take a shower afterwards.

[GVnana]

AWESOME PICS!

Thanks for clarifying.

I’ve got to walk away from this for awhile. This whole process is exasperating, infuriating and aggravating. It’s bad for my health! LOL

[GVnana]

Very good info. Thank you.

Sorry, Jenny...you'll just have to pay a hefty fine or go to jail if you don't.

I guess it's jail for me, then. Free health care and free food and shelter. I say we all take over the joint(s). I hope they don't really close Gitmo. I hear it's pretty nice. ;)

Jenny, I've been saying for months--send me there, I look great in orange!

[Outlaw Woman]

That was a great read. And interesting strategy presented by....democrats........who are "a couple of gay Hillary guys" lol But they are right. Although, it's my guess that not all donars are contributing because of prestige but contribute because they've been duped. And that should make all of them skittish.

[arkady_renko]

...do they have any idea what's going on in D.C. today? Do they care?

No. Sadly, no.

[RoseofTexas]

Just read the Stupak(sp?) are now down to 6...CHIT!! FUDGE !! I loathe ALL OF THEM!!!

[Miss Didi]

Off to Mass...please ping with earth-shattering news.

[AliVeritas]

Amen.

[RightWingNilla]

They are jumping ship like the filthy rats they are. This is over.

[gopwhit]

Down to 6 — this is unbelievable. What is amazing is that all of these holdouts over one issue or another eventually make their deal and cave. NO PRINCIPLES.
