Just heard on NPR (BBC) some woman saying basically, Dems have caved on Pubic Option...

[Triana]

...that they're meekly saying "Well, it's not a requirement" and that at BEST, they'll settle for non-profit regional health care co-ops (which CANNOT compete well enough or at all with huge for-profit insurance companies - which is why the bastards who bought the Democrats are pushing for them or no public option at all - and Dems are caving in to that).

I think that's where we're at folks -- in which case they may as well NOT BOTHER with this at ALL because it's NOT REFORM. Bunch of pantywaist ninnies.

IF NOT NOW, WHEN? IF NOT THEM, WHO? IF THEY CANNOT *GET THIS DONE NOW* - THEY NEVER WILL BE ABLE TO.

I have NO patience with such lack of political will. The damned mandate was handed to them in November 2008. They need to either USE it or they'll LOSE it - meaning we ALL lose. MORONS!

1. I'll wait to hear for myself

i FEAR they are right.if so an gay issues are right behind.

[Triana]

11. well they keep saying 'the public option is still on the table' - and it IS - BUT

it's not "required" - is also what they're saying.

I cannot BELIEVE the cowardice.

2. I have a feeling

this is the first time many Obama supporters will get past how great he looks and how good he sounds and REALLY LISTEN to what he is ACTUALLY SAYING

[Adsos Letter]

3. Perhaps you should schedule him for an asskicking, Skittles...

or at least a stern talking to... :D

[Skittles]

6. alas, he is behaving exactly as I expected

it dampers my butt-kicking enthusiasm :(

[GCP]

14. Me too Skittles

I was an Edwards supporter - (now glad he didn't get the nom), then a Hillary supporter.
I think she would have had more balls than the rest of the dems put together.

[Adsos Letter]

4. And here are some wisteria flowers for you...I growed 'em myself, I did...

:hi:

[Skittles]

5. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW PURTY

[dgibby]

7. Want! n/t

[madokie]

12. We have a whole fence roll of the vines but hardly any blossums

How do you do it? make them blooms like that.

[GCP]

15. Mine didn't bloom until I cut the bastard way back!

Then it bloomed like crazy this year. You have to let it know who's boss!

[madokie]

18. aye-aye

I can do that :-)

[Adsos Letter]

19. just be sure you do it before they set their little buds on...

or you will still end up without floweres; I say this only because it is easy to overlook the little guys. :)

[madokie]

20. Is it already too late this year?

[berni_mccoy]

8. What you choose to not listen to

is when the Obama supporters have actually criticized Obama. I've been called an Obama-bot and a cheerleader by the likes of you, but you've overlooked the times I've criticized him. Now, you will conveniently say "I told you so" by selectively listening to what you want to hear.

[Skittles]

21. "the likes of me" ?

I fucking call it as I see it and like with bush, I've seen everything unfold exactly as I expected. There's nothing CONVENIENT about that, it is just a fucking FACT. Has Obama been worse than, say McCain would have been? HELL NO. Is Obama the best we could have had? HELL NO.

[Mass]

9. Which woman? What sources? Because the media have decided the dems have caved,

but are the media reliable?

[Triana]

10. Sorry I can't remember her name. It wasn't US media but BBC - in the middle of the night...

...not sure if that matters or not but that's what it was.

[Shagbark Hickory]

13. Uh Oh. You said Pantywaist ninnies. Prepare for a locked topic.

I share your frustration but what pisses me off even more is that they are teasing us... dangling a piece of cheese on a string with their unclear language.

[Triana]

17. I also typo'd PUBIC instead of public option....

...if that didn't lock it, well then I dunno. :shrug:

[Triana]

16. Erm, that oughtta be PUBLIC option

not pubic option.

jeebus. That'll teach me to post in the middle of the damn night.
