Healthcare reform is over.

[RememberWellstone]

I am getting off the roller coaster, this is ridiculous.

I am facing the facts in front of me and am tired of writing,calling, voting online polls and listening to my democratic "leaders"..you win, I give up. Tired. I will put my energy in the next cause...I am through with riding this roller coaster.

But I will remember those who left me with the bag, you won't do it to me again. I will continue to fight against the rethugs on a local level but you national "leaders" need to get your minds cleared. You suck.

1. Not to get you back on the roller coaster, but did something occur

today -- or just the general jerking around?

I'm actually heartened because I was dreading Baucus' proposal, and felt it was going to be IT, yet it was met with a big yawn by the WH. (All these are my interpretation, natch, I could be woefully wrong). I'm actually feeling more optimistic about a PO, and so many are hollering that we continue to shovel $$$ into the insurance industry's pockets, I'm hoping something will come about to change THAT.

PS:

[dionysus]

7. yeah, does anyone *really* think baucus's piece of shit is the final bill?

[RememberWellstone]

20. Evidently, no one knows.

We have power of all three branches and look like monkeys humping a footbal at halftime. Fuck it...I am tired of the lies and backpeddling, stick by your priniciples or get the hell out of the way. This fucking silly and stupid to watch. The rethugs are leading the charge while we are debating which pile of shitt to eat. Right? We are in power...pfffft. no one acts like it.

[prolesunited]

44. Give up.

The rest of us will carry on.

If I just listened to the media and read stuff here, I would be discouraged as well. Listen to Obama's speech to the union this week. He hasn't given up.

Fired up! Ready to go!

[kentuck]

2. It's not over.

It's only beginning. Pace yourself.

[texasleo]

3. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Soylent Brice]

5. .

[BeyondGeography]

6. Hell no!

Kicked and unwrecked.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

17. Wellstone's right.

Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part....

[RememberWellstone]

18. Yesirree

And as a side note...the wars are continuing on, continually being funded by the billions and this congress is at Disney World yelling weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I am sick of it...the war, the crawfish democrats, the empty promises from all of them. They suck.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

32. Um-m-m...what?

I have a feeling this is in reference to something but you have me at a loss.

[myrna minx]

33. (Animal House reference.)

[Nuclear Unicorn]

35. Ah! Animal House

That's one of those older movies?

[myrna minx]

36. LOL - I suppose it can be considered an older movie - depending on how old you are.

38. Here you go, Belushi's Inspiration Speech.

[SIMPLYB1980]

39. LOL!

[dionysus]

4. thats the problem with a bunch of people here. at least the RWers can last 8

years in power. you give up less than a year in. thats why republicans make comebacks.

[mariawr]

8. What ? Can't go the distance? Rethugs dont' give up. nt

[RememberWellstone]

22. Rethugs are reactionary

We should be proactive..but noooooo, we get crawfish and backpeddling every fucking day there is yet another abberation of the bill that in no way reflects what we were told last week. it is a fucking nightmare..no one has a clue at what is even in the bill and the rethugs can say whatever the fuck they want to say is in there...and we walk around going duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...misinformation. Geeeeezus I am tired of thsi rollercoaster! Fuck it! I am getting off let them pass a pile of worthless shit for all I care!

I am moving on to green jobs and green world.

[babylonsister]

9. Bye, and have a nice life. nt

[NYC_SKP]

15. We've been Thrown Under the Roller Coaster!!11!

[RememberWellstone]

23. Which part of the bill do you support?

And is it going to be in the final bill? If you were honest, you would say you have no fucking idea...you know why? Because no one knows what the fuck is going on! We are cheering on dumbass crawfish! No back bone, no guts...fuck it, I am out..I am movong on to the next battle...this one is done.

[Zen Democrat]

10. You're worn out before the fight begins? Not ME! It's just now getting good.

Now that we have the Big Baucus Debacle out of the way. No more pandering for bi-partisanship. This was nicely dispensed with yesterday. It's wheat-from-the-chaff Democrats all the way, Baby! Blue Dogs can lie in the slop if they choose -- but they lose.

[RememberWellstone]

25. Right..I just saw a cow hump a chicken

I believe there will be a calf from the intimate moment I just witnessed...and pigs were flying yesterday! So, yeah...I believe we have a bill!! Not!!

[msallied]

11. Your political stamina is equivalent to

a fat guy jogging while eating donuts.

[Teaser]

12. Lame

.

[lamp_shade]

13. Get over yourself.

[NYC_SKP]

14. Repent. The End Is Near.

You said: "You suck."

[FrenchieCat]

16. You are over, perhaps......

But the Health Care reform fight is just beginning!

Cowards normally go and hide when the heavy lifting starts...
so get out of the way, and allow the brave front line soldiers
to fight for you. That is how it has always been; that some
get to benefit from what those who are determined and passionate
fight for.

But know this, while the fight is going on,
you don't get to come out from behind your bunker,
and have shit to say. What isn't needed is more
armchair generals, who want to direct the troops
from the comfort of their basement computer!

[RememberWellstone]

19. Cowards? You mean congress?

I agree...me? No, I am sick of this volleyball metality. make a stand and stick by it. period. I am not the coward..the ones who are power are!!! Fuck them! And fuk anyone else thinking I am the problem..I am not the one that has changed my mind 50 fucking times in the last month!! Yeah..we are also going to end the war in about 10 fucking years!! Fuck congress!

[dionysus]

21. would perhaps... um... waiting for a damn bill to be worked out and presented before declaring

defeat too damn much to ask?

[RememberWellstone]

24. WHICH BILL??????????????

The one last month?? The one last week? The one last night?? What the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no agreement on anything on our side...Geeezus H., we have our own committee members re-naming shit thinking they are helping. There is no bill!!! If there were one, then unity would be around it...we got 10 different pieces of shit! That is all we have. And we look like idiots supporting less than what we want.

[SpartanDem]

27. Sometimes the legislative process can be messy

I'm sorry this isn't like a tv show where everything is wrapped up in a neat little package for you in an hour. Acting like a whiney brat isn't going to help to see this through

[dionysus]

28. the one that comes out of conference that the president will either sign or veto?

[babylonsister]

30. Quit making sense on this nonsensical thread!

[dionysus]

31. !111!11

[myrna minx]

37. I didn't get my George Soros code book this week.

Is project Omega 7 a go? !111!11

[dionysus]

40. not.. supposed to mention... the plans... dammit!!!1!1

[FrenchieCat]

26. Perhaps we get a congress that reflects who we are.

It's easy to talk, much harder to do.
So say "Fuck" all you want...but know that saying "Fuck" never gotten
Americans shit.

If the Civil Right Marchers had said "Fuck it....congress ain't worth shit,
and we ain't doing this shit anymore"....where would we be on that issue?


No goddamn where....that's where.

[BlooInBloo]

29. Game over man - GAME OVER!!!!

[SIMPLYB1980]

42. LoL!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

34. I Rec'd your thread

Not because I agree but because I think you need a boost.

I can feel your anguish and that comes from your principles. We can't give up, even if it seems hopeless. Even if, at the end of the day, we see the castle taken we must look at each other and say, "It wasn't because we stopped fighting."

Even if it fails now why not hope for 2013 when re-election no longer hangs like a sword over their heads?

Keep fighting, I know you have it in you.

[DevonRex]

41. Then get out of the way. The rest of us all still doing the work.

And we don't need a bunch of doomsday wimps babbling nonsense while we do the heavy lifting for you.

[dionysus]

43. heeeeeeeeeere he comes not to save the dayyyyyy.... mighty mou-- oh wait...
