Are they talking us down now...softening us up to accept a lesser health care plan?
Reporters and bloggers are doing it. I have seen much about it the last few days. They are getting the word out that there will be no public option, that we don't need it anyway to have good health care.
Who is "they"? Not sure yet. Could be the centrists who control party policy. I don't know for sure, but I saved a few I have read. Bloggers get the word from on high and pass it along, certain ones do.
after which the insane Seminole primitive quotes a bunch of "news" "sources," blah blah blah blah blah.....
We worked and donated and voted and gave them a majority, a good one. Today at DU I saw a post that was talking about how if we get everyone covered and they can't be dropped by insurance companies...it would be good enough. Trouble is what is missing is competition. We won't have that without that government plan side by side with the private plans.
If the insurance companies are powerful enough and own enough Democrats to keep us from getting that option...then they sure as heck are not going to voluntarily lower prices even though they use pretty words.
We won't have a majority like this again...maybe not ever in this political climate. We should not waver.

21. That's right. Despite the people's will (election results), R's are still in charge.
We are? That must be news to Mitch and John.

14. It's more productive to be Obama's enemy than his friend.
Bill Clinton was the same way, and it used to be so frustrating.
Clinton would knock his friends down into the dirt in his rush to make sweet, sweet love to those who despised him. He always seemed to think that if he just gave in one more time, they would finally love him.
Meanwhile, Clinton's friends, the ones who actually got him elected, had to make do with a handjob now and then.
Obama seems to have this condition even worse than Clinton did.
The sparkling husband primitive, who has NOT! donated to Skins's island:

19. They're not softening us up. They're flipping us off.
Next they will order us to bend over.

Finally the smelly jester is understanding that he is totally powerless. I am sure he is still in denial that most Americans do not agree with him though.

Blind squirrel, nut , found. Does this DUmmie admit that the current health care plan is not a favorable plan with the majority of Americans and can cost them dearly in the upcoming elections?
