Yeah, a bit of back and forth on the language but it's done. Question; you see the carriers going nuts? Exactly....the fix is in.

Completely agree with you healthagent

There is too much corruption in this administration. There is absolutely no way to stop legislation. Look at the facts and not the speculation. Landrieu says no way --- give her 300 million she's on board--- Liebermann says no then they send everyone from Acorn to camp outside his house for a week and he lets the procedural vote go through--let me make a guess 500 million to Nebraska--- 600 million to Arkansas---700 million to Connecticut --- There you go, let's call it bipartisan healthcare reform. Hurry wrap it up for Christmas!!

"bloodbath" a million times now. How often will you cry "wolf."

You said the bill would never get out of House committee. You said it would never get out of the entire House. You said a Senate bill would never get past committee. You said the full Senate would defeat it. And with each prediction you've made you've promised us a "bloodbath" and yet from where I sit it looks like it's all been "easy" for the majority to get it's way. Arm-twisting and political bribery are not new to our system so I don't understand why all you neos are so shocked.

Winter, I love reading your analysis. But you have to admit a whole lot of it is wishful thinking on your part.

We are going to get either a public option or the Snow "trigger" which amounts to the same thing, just later on.

Get over it, neo-cons. If you had won the last election (i.e. you had not nominated the idiot Palin and the moribund McCain against a much more attractive candidate,) you would not be where you are now... moaning and groaning and whining and being "the obstructor."

Face it. Obama has staked his ENTIRE political "future" and legacy and re-election on health care reform. Don't you think he will do everything in his power to get it passed? That's how the system works, for better or worse. And do you neos believe that as a minority party in both the congress and the majority of the state that you can beat an intelligent and articulate president?

Face it. If a dumb-ass like Bush could get No-Child and Part-D passed, what do you think is going to happen when you have a president with more than 2 working brain cells?

What perplexes me even more is that it looks like you neo-cons are going to make even MORE money with a new GI mandated platform than you do with the current underwritten one. So what are you bitchin' about. And PLA-LEEZE don't tell me it's about "it's bad for the country" because everyone and their Palin hating dog knows that with you folks it's all about the money!!
