“Live and cy, somehow I don't think so. Do you recall how the PO was dead when it reached the Senate, but the people pushed and Reid tried to reinstate it. I don't think we have pushed hard enough. With time and organization the ballot will trump the dollar.”

“Senator Snowe has a point.
We rushed to war in Iraq. Rushed to bail out Wall Street.
I would be happy if debate were lengthened and the final vote occurs in September next year. That way money would be out of the mix; Congressmen standing for reelection would have to serve the people and not money.”

“No, look how the bill has gone FROM something that offered a strong competitive force to help keep down insurance rates (the Public Option) to what we have now. The more time they have, the more detrimental it will become for the average person.”

“This bill was debated to death...li terally. It was emasculated in Committees with her assistance. "Talking more" is simply code for "kill it so we can hand Obama a defeat".
Sadly I say "kill it" too....but with the provisos that after the talk it take only a majority of the Senate to approve it. And that the scheduled onset provisions be moved up to January 1st, 2011...tha t the funding for the structure to institute the basic components of the Health Care plan be approved (i.e. an "Exchange Commission"; a group to implement extension of Medicare; a committee to handle evaluating subsidies; etc.). These could then be up and running by January 2012.”

“I hope and pray that Nebraska and Louisiana Democrats hold primaries and replace Nelson and Landrieu.”

“There we go, critisizing the politicians again, maybe people in Nebraska hate abortion and are proud of Sen. Nelson for what he has done.
Maybe many conservative whites like what Landrieu is doing. Blame the constituents. Personally I ain't mad at Nelson, the law says no federal funding for abortion. Blame the lawmakers that put that law on the books.”
