138. If we are going to do an end run around the Rs because they won't work with us...
We might as well pass a truly universal health-care bill. What's the point of passing a watered down to worthless piece of legislation full of compromises meant to appease the opposition if the opposition is just going to vote against it anyway...

Then we can say "Hey, if you wanted a voice on this bill you should have worked with us when we were offering compromises."

I'm all for re-introducing civility into American Politics, but if they won't compromise, then why the hell should we?


P.S. One more post baby! Just one more and it's gonna be a beauty!"
