btw, the majority of voters are against his plan. Hence the speech tonight and panicked hysteria. It's amusing to sit back and watch the liberal wing of the democratic party implode and take down the moderates.

I feel the same way. Health care reform should have happened YEARS ago. Enough, stalling, fear mongering and political posturing. It's time to get this done.

The moderates can stand back and avoid the implosion if they stand firm and back the wishes of the majority of the American population - no public option; no "trigger." Let Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al,... go down in flames. They have made life miserable for the moderates with all the arm-twisting they've been doing.
