Dems Break Republican Filibuster on Healthcare...

[Oliver Clozoff]

Washington (CNN) -- Democrats won a major victory in their push for health care reform early Monday morning as the Senate voted to end debate on a package of controversial revisions to a sweeping $871 billion bill.

It's looks like a done deal. Now just 50 votes to pass...

Double-plus good!

Say, Ollie. While you're here... will you sign my petition to implement my five-point plan to save the planet?

It'll just take a moment of your time.

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Quite nice!

A wee bit too subtle and not quite paranoid enough to be a geebee classic, though, methinks.

I wasn't going for classic.

I just need signatures.

i know what filibuster means because i saw it on an episode of due south.

It's about time... Next, I hope they throw Lieberman out of town on a rail.

You don't "throw" someone "out of town on a rail."

is that a smutty euphemism?

No! This is serious business.

Vote "Yes" in the poll. Avoid the "No" and "I am confused" options (even if you are confused).

Thanx!

i already voted.
i voted yes, because mass killings are funny.

 

[blunt_trauma]

will you film them imploding and post it on youtube?

Well, sometimes. But the important thing is saving the planet.

Now we just have to figure out why Ollie, who seemed very positive only moments ago, failed to sign.

He hasn't posted here again. I hope he didn't get lost.

 

[Byron In Exile]

The experts? No, they won't be imploding, they'll be drowning. And I doubt it'll be filmed out of respect for their familes.

But, there will be an impressive memorial in their honor, with a nice plaque saying how they gave their lives for the planet and stuff.

Ollie, you'll get what you wish for.





Taken down a peg economically, and professionally, if that's what you call what you do, bilking the mentally incompetent and pretending you can "fix" them, pretty much as Congress pretends it can "fix" anything...

LMAO. The Republicans never had enough votes to filibuster, the whole affair was a Democrat show from A to Z.

And it will take 60 votes to get to cloture once the bill gets back from conference. So if the conference committee changes ANYTHING in the bill we'll be treated to the same democrat circus all over again.

Of course by then the people will have actually had a chance to read and digest the abortion the dems are trying to shove up the publics ass and al of those congress critters will be back in their states to face the wrath of the citizenry. (There is some justice in the world afterall.)

And here you are crowing about a law that 1.) you don't have a fucking clue what's in it AND 2.) the usual suspects on the left have called an abortion and want it defeated just as much as the right does.

Yeah buddy, this is looking to be a real WINNER for the democrats.

We already know the Democrats don't care if they lose the Congress.

This is a long-range meal ticket.



Vote for us, we GAVE YOU FREE HEALTH CARE and the Republicans want to take it away, and your SS, and your minimum wage, and your expanded SChip, and your Expanded Medicare/aid, they want to HARM YOU!

Yeah, we know the program has deep flaws, but we're the only ones who want to "fix" them.

This is what von Humboldt would have told us would be the logical grandchild of Kennedy's hair-brained HMO scheme...

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Hang in there, 'seed. Listen to Ish.

You've still got the conference Hail Mary to throw.

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Hang in there, 'seed. Listen to Ish.

You've still got the reconcilitation Hail Mary to throw.

No way do Democrats not pass health care and public option and abortion will be part of it; history is calling...

OLLIE! God, I thought maybe you got lost.

Did you sign my petition?

With a properly placed fulcrum and counterweight, it might be possible.
