BREAKING: Democratic sources say they've hit 218
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 05:48 PM by BzaDem
For all those on DU who want to kill the bill, you are on the wrong side of history and are about to be steamrolled over.

http://www.politico.com/livepulse/1109/Dems_sources_218...

"At this moment, Democratic sources say their internal head counts have them breaking through the 218 mark this afternoon. Whether that will mean that more Democrats will come on board, or that Pelosi is going to cut other members lose, is still unclear. But Dems are confident they have won."

A one-vote margin doesn't exactly resonate with being on the "right side" of history.

3. Damned straight. The purity trolls and drama queens are out in force.
And when it comes to the actual process of working the political system to turn systematic reform into reality, as opposed to dreaming of stuff that won't get the time of day in the Beltway, they have no idea what they're talking about.

And I am trying to be objective.

But tell me, does anyone think Republicans have any functioning brain cells?

That said, I want the bill to pass, but I'm sick of having to appease these Blue Dog dipshits to get a bill through!

And Holy Joe LIEberman needs to lose his charimanships as soon as the gavel falls on this vote.

Seriously, how can anyone who voted for Barack Obama want him to fail on this HUGE issue? And how can anyone with even the smallest sense of history, can't see that this 40 years worth of progress and the attitude of all-or-nothing never led anyone anywhere.
