I hope the Republicans do filibuster, and that Reid will keep his rented pair long enough to make them do it instead of caving at the threat. Let them stand there day after day, blocking health care reform while the cameras are rolling.

Can the Senate Dems foil any sound of filibuster on any health care bill?

I don’t know about the Senate Dems

but if that ”sound” has a name attached to it, ”We The People” can fuck him up pretty bad

after bush’s Iraq folly, I don’t think a repuglitard wants to try being fiscally conservative about America’s health care

the fookin Iraqis got health care

and we’re payin for it

Harry should lead the way. He should stop enabling those GOP health care vote chasers.

Most importantly, Can the Senate Dems foil any sound of filibuster on any health care bill?

I think if I were “to Palinize” this that Reid’s actions are really just a case of “even a blind hog can find an acorn,” than anything else.

It’s called leadership. Something I expect from Reid and a lot of Democrats, without success. When does this too-little-too-late leader actually lead? Oh, that would be next election in 2010. Is there anyone in the Democratic wing of the Democratic party in Nevada who could actually oppose him?

somehow i’m more suspicious when reid starts making these calls, given his own detailed history of offering dubious leadership and blocking progressive issues.

I was tempted to say “Finally, Reid grew a pair,” but I’m afraid his “pair” is rented, not grown, and he’ll be turning them back in soon. (”Here, you can have these back. Golly, were they uncomfortable!”

Hopefully he’ll keep them long enough to get the job done on the public option, but I only trust Reid to compromise meaningful legislation out of existence.
