2. But he said he will vote against the final bill (after work with the house) if there are
"material changes". That means if there is any public option, he will join the republicans to vote against health care reform.

5. In summary, if the House alters one iota of Nelson's provisions, he will filibuster
and Harry Reid has agreed that the Senate will only discuss minor changes with House.

Nice.

7. Kabuki Theater - IMO these decisions were made BEFORE this last round
of ACTING.

It's all for the benefit of "the unwashed masses" because MOST representatives don't have a clue about what the needs are of the average wage-slave American.

It's all a fucking GAME to them. :grr:
