2. If health care is denied this time it will take millions showing up in the streets.
Blood will have to be shed to make it happen. I hope your prediction is wrong.

3. The fact that someone has un-recommended this shows a true agenda at work
No reason to object to this...if you are a Democrat that is.

4. Oh Crap. Really?
If this is true then expect the dems to lose the senate and some power in the house in 2010,

(sigh) maybe we should have let McClain win. It seems that only extreme hardship is capable of making those see the light.

7. The country won't wait that long.
It will either collapse or they fix it. If you don't want it to collapse raise hell.

8. You mean President Obama? Haven't really seen him use his popularity to dissuade the Blue Dogs
It really seems like he could, while he's still in his honeymoon period.

After seeing the direction he's moving in during his first six months---let's just say I'm not optimistic about him not selling us down the river. Why did all those insurance companies donate to him--because they dug his speeches?

10. What do you have against moderate Democrats?
It's the purists who are dragging the Democratic party down, not the moderates..

I call on all moderates to unrec this thread.

And yes, it is :sarcasm:

14. These People Will Lose Their Seats If they Keep This Up, Sir
They are completely mis-reading the politics of the matter. People voted for them over their Republican opponent because they wanted them to support President Obama's initiatives. If instead they obstruct these, they will lose every swing voter they got....
