Do you not understand civics?

It's called a filibuster. And they got the 59 seat majority by getting conservative Democrats elected in formerly Republican districts. Conservative Democrats don't vote party line consistently.

they had 60 before Kennedy croaked..and they still didn't have the votes, so the only ones you all have to blame is your own party..tsk tsk

and like I said, let them ignore what the people want and you can say goodbye to your party in power for many years, which I wouldn't care one bit..

Yeah, just like social security and medicare. People sure hated that policy after it was introduced. We're lucky there are any Democrats left!

look you dumb shit, SS and medicare are going BROKE..fix those FIRST, then we can talk about REAL health care reform...but what the Progressives is pushing is a TOTAL take over of our health care system, that way they can have control over our entire lives...maybe you won't mind being a slave for the Government, but most people as you can see by the polls don't want to be beholden any more than we already are to ANY GOVERMENT...

Please explain how health care reform will make you a slave, mememe!

Please, understand that I appreciate your comments and opinions more than you'll ever know, and they are given very wide currency. They are very valuable in our efforts to show how uninformed opponents of reform truly are.
 
45,000 American deaths.......

Opposition to Health Care Plan Hits New High of 56%
Friday, September 18, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisementFifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide now oppose the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition yet measured and includes 44% who are Strongly Opposed.

Just 43% now favor the proposal, including 24% who Strongly Favor it.

But the overall picture remains one of stability. While the numbers have bounced a bit following nationally televised appearances by the president to promote the plan, opposition has generally stayed above 50% since early July. Support has been in the low to mid 40s.

The number who Strongly Oppose the plan has remained above 40% and the Strongly Favor totals have been in the mid-20s. This suggests public opinion is hardening when it comes to the plan that is currently working its way through Congress.

However, now just 48% say that health care reform plan is at least somewhat likely to pass this year, a figure that has been trending down in recent days. That figure includes 17% who say passage is Very Likely.

This was bound to happen when people finally realized what was in the healthcare bill. No wonder Obama wanted to rush it through. Sad, really and deceitful.
