Or, will they continue to push this bill that a majority of the public hates and has been screaming for the last 8 months to stop it?

Obama/pelosi/reid are SO desperate for a glimmer of a victory, they are willing to sacrifice their members political careers to give him a victory, any victory, no matter if it hurts our economy, business and individuals.

So, how did Democrats get saddled with this bill?
Quote:
The measure is so unpopular that Republican State Senator Scott Brown has built his entire surge against Coakley around his promise to be the 41st senator to block the bill -- this in Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts. He must be pretty confident that the bill has become politically radioactive, and he's right.
Nelson, Lincoln, Reid, Dorgan - it is bringing them down as well. Let's not even talk about what will happen in the house.

If Teddy Kennedy's seat is not safe, in a true blue democrat state, how can any other democrats seat be safe?

No they will continue to push this insanity
they are trying to push this already, they do not have sense enough to see they are in deep poo poo
they are already spinning this big loss as Martha Cokely one her own and granted she is a flake, but who wanted her in the first place?

Thanks to obama, they have.

Just think about this; Teddy Kennedy's seat, one his family has owned for 58 years, is on the verge of falling to the GOP. Who would have thought this possible?

Kinda ironic in a way since "that seat" is the make it or break it to healthcare and Kennedy pushed it for years.

Quite Ironic isn't it.

WTF??!! Has the sky fallen, have the oceans gone red?

Sanrene is actually reading a leftie mag.

Always knew you had it in you.

From one avid HuffPo fan to another, you would already be aware that the Big O has not been scoring many points with lefties and left leaning moderates.

I think the OB was cut some slack with it being his freshman year and all, but the base's grumblings are going to turn into roars if he doesn't start reaching out & looking out for main street. The OB must shed the stigma of being an elitist Wall Street liberal.

Just think about this:
Owned?
Way off.
how about dems elected and re-elected?

The hate for dems continues, nothing new here.
Repugs still don't get it, never have, never will.

That can so easily be turned around and sound just as true.
One day you'll realize that neither Dem nor Repub representatives work for the people.

We have, can't you tell!

Obama and his policies are not wanted by the huge majority of Americans.

With only 20% of you liberals left what will you do when another 5-10% leaves your party?

Liberalism is about to end in American.

Can't you see the writing on the wall?

And there are so few of you to do anything about it.
