Speechless.

This healthcare bill is going to end up with a nuclear option ending. It's the only way that the dems will get it passed, they don't have enough of their own votes to pass it any other way. If it does come to pass as such, look out for a changing of the guard next year.

Good....Now Grubby Harry can kiss the pro life dems buh-bye.

Next, let's make sure that the cynically dubbed "public option" is forced in and make sure this monstrosity is killed off once and for all.

That's political suicide. Eugenicists usually don't last too long in public office. Many of these Democrats will never be heard from again after the next election.

This, coupled with the likely inclusion of the public option, will almost assuredly make this bill's passage a no-go. Praise be to whomever art in heaven.

Yes I agree with y'all. This is prob.going to kill it,

It has nothing to do with religion, not for some. I know plenty of atheists who are opposed to abortion. YOU seem to be making everything about religion, not the religious right.

From the article:

Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa told reporters he didn't like the agreement but would support it to the hilt in an attempt to pass health care legislation.

In a nutshell, folks. Passing it is the goal, no matter how much it will crush this country.

 

[PatekPhilippe]

They don't care about us...only their lobbyist friends in big pharma, the healthcare industry and insurance companies.....and their own selfish interests.

We're talking about murder and you want to talk religion.
