14. What's to replace, they got everything they wanted.

"We had 60 and we couldn't get it done" ignores Liebermann who was working for Aetna and BlueDogs who were scared of their wing nut constituents.

No, it doesn't ignore it. It explains that the mantra of "elect more democrats" doesn't get it done. Especially when we just turn around and make excuses for their failures and misdirection. Obama never even CALLED Lieberman, but he went and campaigned for passage in Kucinich's (former) district.

"You're dreaming." And that is a bad thing? I'd rather spend my time thinking about what I can do. I am not big on being told I can't do things. OWS is a pretty big inspiration don't you think?

I don't think that is a reason to blow smoke up my backside about how great and progressive HCR was and that is was the best we could do. It was trun to the right and making believe that isn't true doesn't change anything.
