The Democrats play too nice. You're going to have to get tough with the other side, and push it to the limit and be much more public about the truth, The insurance companies must be exposed for the dirty deeds they do. Patients who are denied care, even though they have paid their insurance premiums. The CEO's who make millions and millions of dollars a year, while 4000 Americans die each month for lack of healthcare! DO SOMETHING LOUD AND CLEAR!

[IMD]

Interesting video! At the IMD OWP 2010 David Plouffe will share his insights on the historic Obama campaign while framing it in the context of how Obama's leadership is shaping the United States and the world today

we got a good bill out of the house, only 5 or so out of the 60 in the senate did there best to undermine the bill. we only need to rid yourself of the few who are not with us..

[ktorch]

The battle has just begun! Hang onto your seat, this isn't an ordinary blow job!

[RogerOnTheRight]

@ktorch Gosh, it seems to me the Democrats crafted a bill that will favour insurance companies over consumers even more than ever.

Democrats play too nice? What, with your money or theirs?

You think Obama, Reid and Pelosi are on your side? Or even could be?

[ktorch]

Same place you did except one lady had a baby! (Happens almost every month!)

[Dhimmicrats]

I heard it was 3,999. Where did you get your facts...

[synapsecracklepop]

It just seems like the quiet Administration, that had a hands off attitude, while legislation was pushed, further and further to the right, and meaninglessness... is suddenly EVERYWHERE, all hands on deck, to defeat the Democrats that want reform that will work.

This bill, as it sits, is political suicide.
