So let me get this straight.
After all this pandering to the Republicans, with solid majorities in both houses plus the presidency, a watered-down bill gets exactly ONE Republican vote, and 39 Democrats vote against it.

How fucked up is that.

I'm movin' to Canada.

2. It was mostly pandering to the Blue Dogs...
and out of the 64 who voted for the Stupak Amendment, something like 23 of them still voted against the health care bill. Now THAT is fucked up!

3. and further weakening, and a Lieberman filibuster, in the Senate!
Man, accommodating your political enemies is paying off in spades for our "progressive" Democratic majorities!

7. Not sure Canada is accepting a lot of American immigration.
I understand it's not very easy to do.

9. Remember, though...
...single payer would have sailed through.

Because if it snows in December, it certainly can snow in July. Or something.
