Get on the bandwagon while there's still room. You know you will eventually because being on the winning side is better than getting what you want.

1. But then you would be on the side of the Republicans...
Because they will declare victory if this is passed without a public option.

2. I will oppose ALL Democrats if that happens
Seriously, why the fuck even bother any more? The one thing I will do is work to have a Republican defeat Obama in '12 if there is no public option.

No public option means being on the losing side. Why do you want us to lose?

7. The winning side in the health care debate will be no public option
and a massive giveaway to the insurance comapanies. The Obama administration made that abundantly clear today.

13. Nope, that's the LOSING side
At least as far as the American people are concerned. If it prevails, we lose.

14. It has already prevailed
Obama backed off on the public option. It's dead, Jim.

I want to see where Obama himself has thrown American health care reform under the bus.

17. There is still a chance that enough Dems will vote against the bill..
to kill it. It's the only way.

No bill would be better than a bill with a mandate and no public option. At least right now I'm not forced to pay protection money to these evil fuckers.

20. Because it's not about leadership or governing, it's all about rooting for the team.
The color of the decorations and the letter behind the name, that's what matters. :eyes:

22. It's all about getting a political victory at this point.
Real health care reform is dead.
