It appears the fear and intimidation campaign of the Repubs did not work.
The Democratic Congress is on the verge of passing healthcare reform out of the House before the evening is over. The tea-baggers, the gunslingers, the name-callers, the screamers, and all those nutzoids recruited by the Republican Party to fight for the big insurance company, are about to go down in defeat tonight.

Regardless of what is in this bill out of the House, this is a great victory for America. It shows all of America that simply taunting and yelling and calling names does not mean you will get your way and that your political opponents will surrender if you scream loud enough. It didn't work. And that is a victory for all of us.

4. Do you think Bachmann
will lay on the floor of the house and scream and kick her feet if she doesn't get her way. Wonder what the wingonutso will call Nancy Pelosi now. They are good at calling names and drawing pictures.

5. And the GOP is stuck
with the over financed boobs it blew its organization on. They think they are a movement not a gun to the elephant's foot.
