    A right-winger has no right to call any other member of the human race "shrill".

    Nah, it's pretty apparent, especially in Watermark.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    As Christie said, "It's just you" and I think frantic more suitably describes the Cons. They wish it was already November because they know changes are coming before then. Health care being one of them.

    If the health care passes the way it is presented now, it will be the Dems who will lose in November.
    McCain to Obama. "If you don't like our bill, send troops to help us."

    Obama, himself attempted to filibuster Justice Alito, who now sits on the Supreme Court.

    The Dems are going to take a beating no matter what. If they drop the health bill they'll both be attacked for having crafted it and not have passed it at the same time. I don't think not passing it would even get them a tenth of a percentage point in the polls.

    Seriously, you retards, do you really think anyone in America is going to be like "Hey, the Dems didn't pass UHC, that makes me want to vote for them."

    This is why you aren't a political strategist.

    People whose Congressman made a better choice have a more likelihood of voting for an incumbent. It's not like they are voting for "The Dems" when Independents go to vote, they are looking for somebody who will pay attention and vote for their interest. At this time their interest lies in this bill not going forward.

    Passing this will allow a larger "bloodbath" on election day than killing this purposefully and replaying this. Just make sure that on the replay they won't hide in the back rooms to pay graft in order to gain votes and you'll have a very different result. Play it all out on CSPAN, make sure it is open and you can build the exact same bill and have a very different result in polls.

    220 Democrats already voted for the bill. 220 Democrats are going to get attacked for voting for the bill. 50 Democrats are probably going to get attacked even though they didn't vote for the bill. Passing it or not is not going to change that math.

    The senate bill they're creating right now would get rid of the pork to Nebraska and Louisiana. That was obviously a disaster of epic proportions, another reason Reid needs to be sacked and to retire (hopefully we can get Goodman to run in his stead - otherwise this is a Republican pickup).

    Anyway, the negotiations were never particularly closed. That's just a Republican talking point.

    4th grade gin

    On March 3, 2005, Goodman spoke to a group of fourth-graders at Jo Mackey Elementary School. When asked what he would take with him if marooned on a desert island, the mayor replied, "A showgirl and a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin." When asked about his hobbies, the mayor named drinking Bombay Sapphire Gin as a favorite. Later, when asked to comment about his statements, Goodman was unapologetic: "I'm the George Washington of mayors. I can't tell a lie. If they didn't want the answer, the kid shouldn't have asked the question." This caused an outcry from parents whose children heard the remark, and school officials said the remark was inappropriate. [4]





    Ohmigod. I want this man in the US senate.

    Does it seem that Obama is becoming a bigger problem and that Bush is slowly going to the back burner, for the complaints.

    The libtards got what they wanted, complete control, and of course abused it, so will be spanked hard by the voters. Even Watermark admits this, which is why they are all shrill, due to fear and panic.
