A handy guide to what you are up against in the Senate
Start with the ones up for Re-Election in 2010



Senator from Indiana, former Governor, and biggest force in Democratic politics in Indiana

2010 Re-election, over $12 million cash on hand for his re-election bid, and a wife who makes over $873,000 for serving on 7 corporate boards

Bill Nelson



Diane Feinstein



Kent Conrad



Joe Lieberman

I won't go into 2014 because no one is going to remember this debate in an election 5 years from now.

2. Might as well just throw in the towel and raise the white flag of defeat.....
We had hardly begun to fight,
but hell, why bother....
let the insurance companies keep on keeping on....
Its just too much. The fight will be too hard,
and the brave ones will be too few.

I give up!

4. I just posted who the idiots are
I didn't tell anyone what they should or should not do.

I also posted the amount of money they have raised if they are running in 2010.

If you are going to fight something, I think you would appreciate to know who the people you need to fight/convince.

8. Fuck 'em!
We can write to them,
and tell them...."fuck you! I support the President the senate using reconciliation, that way it is as if you don't exist!"

5. They got an ASTRONAUT???
What's our answer to that? Jesus I'm afraid to ask. Do we have an astronaut or at least a pilot? How about this do we at least have an ex-major leaguer?
A pro-bowler? We got a pro-bowler and a guy who can do card tricks? Great.

10. Those are great people.
Give me 50 more just like them and we might get something done about the current, failed system of health care delivery in the United States.
