11. Fuckin-A right ! Now WE need to rally, organize, and call them up a MILLION times. This is THE
defining moment for our party. No, the final bill will be very far from ideal, but it will be an ADVANCE and we need to pass it in order to drive a stake into the heart of the RePUKE party and define who WE are for and WHO they are for in this country. This will force them to continue to embrace the STUPID BRAINWASHED FACIST TEABAGGERS and make themselves look like total imbeciles ! Even without abortions, even with an opt out, we MUST pass a bill, get an ADVANCE (momentum to add to down the road), and POUND the Re-PUKES into electoral OBLIVION in 2010 !

19. Sacrificing women's rights will cost you, big time I guarantee it. Who's rights will you sacrifice
next for the health care industrial complex bailout?

I predict that negotiations for drug prices will be the first casualty in the Senate. You will say, Oh bummer. But it's still a great bill!!!

Next we will gey the opt out. You will say, that's not as good, but it's such a wonderful bill. We muist have the non-public option that subsidies private insurance companies for a whole lot of money.

Then let's see what do you think will be sacrificed next? Baucus thinks the house bill is too expensive, so I would guess that lower subsidies for low income folks would be next on the plate. Or probably more likely, reduced benefits for low income folks. A good two tiered health care system, one for the well off and another, cheaper, less good one for poor people.

You well say, bummer! But it's such a good historic bill. Oh well if that's what it takes.


And so it goes.

Watch. If I'm wrong, I'll look you up and admit it. If I'm right, you will forget I wrote this and do exactly what I predict, is my prediction.

9. People are pissed at Lieberman. His ratings are tanking in CT.
He might get cold feet on wanting to prevent cloture.
