Brown: Public Option Or No, I'm Voting For This Health Care Bill

So sad. I thought Sen. Brown would hang tough. I would feel sorry for him, if he wasn't saddling Americans with expenses we can't handle right now and turning it over to the insurance corpses.

This is why we always lose.

Sherrod Brown, December 3 article:
==============================
No more compromise. "We've compromised the public option three times, maybe four."

So the opt out is where you draw the line?

"Yeah, the opt out was not our first choice. Delinking from Medicare was not our first choice," Brown said.

Back-stabbing sons-of-bitches. Okay, bitches too. Which is not gender specific, BTW....

Now that Senate Majority Leader Lieberman (Asshole-CT) has gotten his way - whatever that may be today - I hope we can get on with other pressing business: eliminating the minimum wage, removing remaining financial regulations, killing off what's left of the Bill of Rights.... The possibilities are endless.

Say'taint so Share-rod! How kin a feller wit such a deep manly voice squeel "Unkle" jes like a girl?

So, if the health care reform bill for the insurance companies passes, how long before they start working on one for the rest of their constituents?

And, why should anyone think that improvements to this bill will pass in the future if they can't get them to pass now?

Heckuva job, Brownie.

The Democrats have successfully tamed and emasculated the progressives. Congratulations.

Now the Democrats can continue to govern without those pesky activists -- the ones that wanted real change -- that's over.

Rahm Emanuel wants a center-right party -- and he's won. But it will be a pyrrich victory.

The older I get the more I love LBJ. He was supposed to have told his cronies to accuse an opponent of having carnal relations with a goat. When they objected that it was not true he told them he didn't care if it was true, just make the bastard deny it.

At this point I don't care what happens to the bill. Retrench and put back in the public option AND Medicare buy in at 45. Make the bastards vote against it. Put in great oaths about keeping Medicare whole and - screw it - perks for gun ownership. Make the Republicans vote against it!!!! They are terrified to vote against it; put in enough poison pills so that you can smear every Republican with excrement prior to the next elections.

Obama screwed up with Lieberman ... he should have euthanized his political career when he had the chance. Actually I know when he should have shown his claws. He was at rally at a Caterpillar plant and he was talking hopefully about rehiring Cat workers. The CEO nipped that in the bud right there at the podium. No purchases of Cat equipment by Contractors should have been allowed till that chucklehead was gone.

Remember: MAKE THE BASTARDS DENY IT!!! MAKE THE BASTARDS VOTE AGAINST IT!!!

This is an interesting article for those uninformed Americans who think they have the "best health care system in the world". The fact is you have the 19th best health care system in the industrialized world.

Another pussy democrat bending over the sofa for Joe liberman and his whore wife! KIL THE BILL AND THEN LETS SWING THE "GUNS" AT LIEBERMAN EUPHAMISTICALLY SPEAKING OF COURSE!

Until now I've been proud of my Senator. Right now I'm very, very disappointed. The abused-spouse behavior of progressives is what prevents them from ever having real leverage.

I voted 4 McKinney last time 'round. Nader before that twice; Wow! Back then, I got nothing but P-O'd comments from many here telling my what a waste my vote is/was.
NOW, after seeing FISA & retroactive immunity for Telcoms, the continue of torture or other crimes not prosecuted, and now Health Care reform evaporated,
I THINK I CAN SAY THIS maybe without being attacked;
*)nothing will ever change with a 2-party system.

what the world would be like now if I hadn't
"THROWN AWAY MY VOTE".

Maybe the problem is a weak Majority Leader in Harry Reid.

The Republicans mention the word filibuster, Reid shits his pants, and bills and amendments that we never see, die.

When the Dems took the Senate and the Repugs threatened their first filibuster Reid shoud have said, Go to it. Instead Reid keeps babbling "60 votes, 60 votes". I say let the public see the Repugs and the Lieberman's of the Senate filibustering and voting against cloture on C-SPAN and the cable channels.

The Democrats shot themselves in the foot when they elected a Red State Senator to be majority leader.

Yet another sell-out and disappointment, Yet another example of "Change you can Believe In".
