"No Liberal or Progressive will lose their Seat(Congress) if the Public Option

is not in the Insurance Reform Bill: There are Moderates(Conservatives)
who will lose their seat if the Public Option is in the bill. This is
the state of Health Care Reform. Liberals and Progressives need to
get used to the idea, there will be no public option...Mara Liasson, NPR,
Fox News.

4. Mara has been with NPR for years and supposedly represents the

Democratic Position on Fox News at 6 pm. She is on a panel
of regulars who analyze the news for Fox.

5. Bullshit, if all we get is a few cosmetic changes

and a national Masscare, along with the fines for not coughing up thousands of dollars a year to the insurance companies, the Democrats will simply be thrown out en masse.

Mara Liasson has absolutely no clue just how furious the US public is with the insurance industry.

She needs to remember 1994. The spineless jellyfish in Congress need to remember 1994.

6. We have a 50+ vote margin in the House.

We can afford to lose some Blue Dogs.

They need to get used to that idea.
