See? I tole ya. We need a majority--no, wait, a supermajority; wait,

[Jackpine Radical]

Uh, make that a super-supermajority, We need Rahm to go out & dig up some more Blue Dogs for us. They're better than Republicans, ya know, and they won't scare off the corporate contributions. Better to be in the middle than the right, right? Hold on a minute there, we have to move the middle a little further over to the right. Damn, we couldn't get the public option through, and we couldn't even get single-payer on the table. See? We need more Democrats. Better make sure they're corporate-friendly, though. Gotta keep those big bucks coming from the health insurance moguls.

Stop the bandwagon already. I wanna get off. I'm headed for that other wagon, the one being driven by the little guy with the pointy ears and the tinfoil hat.

6. Sometimes half a loaf is NOT better than no loaf at all.

Manny's right -- BOHICA.

10. Self-delete

3. A corporate friendlyhealth bill with a corporate friendly public option

is slightly, slightly better than no health bill and no "public option." I guess. :shrug:

[atreides1]

5. Sure it is

And a stick in your eye is slightly better then a wooden stake in your heart, right?

7. You are my laugh of the week. Thank you. n/.t

12. I've got a secret to share with you

0 + 0.0001 = "Better than nothing."

Still, that 0.0001 makes me seriously wonder if all the effort and heartache was really worth it.

In the end, Big Insurance won on the House floor yesterday. God help us all.

14. 0.0001 is a lot better than NEGATIVE INFINITY though.

[derby378]

15. Not if your health and well-being is dependent on getting more than 0.0001

In that case, you're still screwed.

[Bonn1997]

16. that is a good point actually

[robinlynne]

17. lol and I didn't think I would laugh tonight.

4. Another old-time DUer speaking truth to power.

Dennis is The Man and I bet he'd love the picture.

8. While Dems have frequently held majorities in congress, Liberals seldom

have. Maybe during the FDR years and a couple years after the Kennedy assassination.
And, oddly, liberal issues usually win in polls.

9. Ain't it a bitch?

[BzaDem]

11. Whatever. You will come crawling back whether you like it or not. n/t

13. Nice post, Hitler

I like that authoritarian "You will..." angle as in the OP is just supposed to cheer mindlessly whenever Fancy Nancy starts patting herself on the back because abortion rights are being repressed.

0 + 0.0001 = "Better than nothing."

Still, that 0.0001 makes me seriously wonder if all the effort and heartache was really worth it.

In the end, Big Insurance won on the House floor yesterday. Sooner or later, whether you like it or not, a little light is going to come on inside your head when you realize just how much we're screwed.
