Go ahead Harry, cook your own goose please.

That's true. I guess if the public option is not dead because the Dems ram it through, then the Dems will lose all power in 2010 and 2012.

Under this scenario, would the Repubs be willing/able to revoke the public option?

Coming from someone (odanny) who praises Hugo Chavez.

I never praised Chavez. Furthermore, you called him a "fascist" when you voted to elect one. Twice. And now are giddy to have attempted to wreck healthcare reform, keeping us apart from the industrialized world.

Again, emblematic of the dumbing down of America. Here's your sign.

Is there a better indicator of Americans standing up and saying NO to far left ideas which don't work, and saying YES to personal responsibility and freedom?

The chance would have been now and it has slipped away. And come 2010, the liberals hold on power will begin slipping as the Republicans start to pick up seats. Mark my words.

Does anyone disagree?

Anyone this arrogant deserves to lose your job, lose your insurance, and be stricken with a chronic disease in the same month.

Then we'll see how much the conservative dream health care system we have will save your sorry tail.

But I'll bet you know someone who makes a nice profit off the premiums you'll be rejected from making a claim on.

I think this is one of many indicators lately of the dumbing down of America...setting it all up like ducks in a row, now, it's making me think:
four horsemen of the Apocalypse anyone?!

The entire hemisphere knows that Chavez is essentially correct in what he says about the United States, but you wont hear Bill O'Reilly say this

I kind of think they wouldn't have the guts to repeal this if it passes. An Aussie friend told me that although most Americans won't like socialized medicine, and it will be the result, they would never push to get rid of it just as the Aussies haven't.
