11. "I assure you it won't pass the house."
That's because the White House and the Democratic Leadership in Congress don't want it to pass not because there are not enough votes for it to pass. They've caved in to the lobbyists and they're playing us for fools hoping we're stupid enough to believe them when they claim it was the Republicans who killed the public option. The truth is the Democratic leadership has killed the option to keep the lobbyists happy and they think we're too stupid to know it.
