3. I'm happy they voted against it
I have this awful puke congressman who wins elections by smearing his opponents. I'm about to order 500 bumper stickers with the phrase Charlie Dent votes for corporations not you and I'm launching a website with his voting record with commentary on how it affects normal voters in my District.

Charlie won my district by the same margin Obama won my district and he did it by making the democratic opponent out to be a bad person...well for the next 2 years I'm starting a campaign to make Charlie out to be the bad guy based on how he votes so the next democratic opponent doesn't have the high opinion everyone has of him to deal with.

Charlie just made my job easier :evilgrin:

4. He still needs the Senate and he compromised something he wasn't expecting in the first place
He can easily put family planning into the health care bill.

5. I thought that was pretty clear too.
As DUer Undercurrent said in another thread.... "It's called sacrificing a pawn. Always put something on the table you know you can live without, then when you give it up your opponents think they won something! When in fact they didn't. LOL Well done! These monies can be allocated in a different way. They will be, and they should be.

7. That's the thing that irks me. The Dems removed stuff from the bill
to appease the Republicans and then they were screwed. They ought to make another bill out of what they took out and pass that today. Fuck the 'pukes.
