And to All a Good Night
Yeah, maybe it's not the Change You had somehow convinced yourself you could Believe In, but with the Xmas Eve Senate vote 60-39 for healthcare reform, imperfect as it may be and still to reconciled with the House and final passage, you have a super majority without, to their shame, I believe, a single Republican vote. So an overwhelming vote in favor, just pointing to a lack of participation in governance or legislation craftng to address real Americans' needs on the other side.
Maybe we got a better bill because of it?
If so, considering Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman's fingerprints on the passed legislation, I shudder to think what a "bipartisan" bill would have looked like with this current crowd on the other side of the aisle.
Merrrry Christmas!
