“The Medicare vote (1965):

SENATE____­_YEA_____N­AY____NOT VOTING

Democrats_­___57_____­__7_______­______4
Republican­s___13____­__17______­_______2

HOUSE_____­_YEA_____N­AY____NOT VOTING
Democrats___ 237______4­8_________­____8
Republican­s___70____­__68______­_______2

Not exactly bipartisan even then, but at least there were a few sane ones.”

LittleOldLadyWho replied on Nov 08, 2009 at 23:28:06

“Those statistics are good to know. No, it's not bipartisan, but a heck of a lot MORE cooperation back in 1965.

The vote last night was a slap in the face of the Democrats and a much bigger slap to the American people!

Thank goodness the votes were there for it to pass!!”

“How is it possible that I can still be dismayed by media reporting? Tonight I watched some CBS news (something I very rarely do), and they covered the health care vote, of course. They followed up with someone named Jeff Greenfield, who they called their "senior political correspondent", or something like that, to offer his (air quotes)analysis(air quotes) of health care voting. He furrowed his brow in deep concern about the lack of bipartisanship, remembering how Republicans had voted for Social Security and Medicare, and then lamented how today's Democrats seemed to be taking a uniquely nonpartisan path. Never once did he reveal a glimmer of awareness about the tactics of the Party of No, choosing instead to cluck at the Democrats.

This is the pap that gets fed to the American public, and we wonder why they're so ignorant of the issues. Houston, we have a very serious problem.”

“Don't underestimate the American public. This approach didn't work n the campaign and it isn't working now. Look at the polls.

We need to keep going and just drive these lemmings over the cliff. Then they won't be infesting our yards any more.”

“Here's a fil.tered list of senators who say they support the public option. Supposedly, there's 51 of them, along with 10 more who "don't know":

[Remove the underscore in the last word to make this work]

http://standwithdrdean.com/where_congress_stands?chamber=Senate&party=&state=&hc_status=1&commit=Fil_ter

If anyone has drilled down on any of these senators to find they support the public option, but only as a trigger or something, please note that for the record so we can focus on them if need be.

If we really have 51 senators to vote for a straight-up public option, all we need to do is pressure Joe the Bummer not to filibuster.
