How embarrassing for them. Now and forevermore.

the level of hypocrisy, stupidity and irony at any given freeper gathering is simply astounding.

Sort of.

A public option and true Health Care Reform IS a threat to our two party system of democracy.

Because once it is enacted into law, people will no longer care any more about the Republican Party than we do about, say, the Lyndon LaRouche idiots. We will have single party rule (at least until someone starts a "new" party to oppose the Democrats.).
