Mr. President, tell Lieberman to fuck off and get the vote from Olympia Snowe instead

[zulchzulu]

Senator Olympia Snowe is at least open to a trigger in the Public Option, as opposed to that whiney, filthy slimebag of an asshat Joe Lieberman. While you're at it, Mr. President, get Senator Susan Collins for good measure. She is another one who could be assuaged with some help in the future on other issues.

The corporatocracy has subverted democracy and the knife fight to get health care reform in a reasonable first set of steps needs to be done now.

Lieberman is a money-grubbing, scumsucking bottom feeder and errand boy for his precious masters who feed him insurance PAC money to line his pockets and make him grin his ugly smile as he touches his gristled face with soft hands.

At least Snowe and Collins ADMIT they are Republicans. Get their votes.

1. We won't "get the vote" from either one. Let's stop pretending we will. It's gonna

have to be reconciliation, and it's not like we couldn't have foreseen this months ago.

2. Collins said that even with all of this stuff stripped she cannot support the bill.

Reconciliation is the best option.

3. Question: does Obama even care? He seems so impotently absent in all of this... nt

4. He talked with the 60 Democrats today...

...and has been talking and trying to convince the Blue Doggies to man up... Where have you been?

6. Remember, if we cant see it....

.... it must not be happening. ;)

8. It seems like damage control at this time. He wasn't very involved from the start. nt

[Clio the Leo]

5. This may very well happen...

... on the final vote. (If the trigger is inserted during conference.)

How do you make the trigger more palatable? You take a PO AND medicare out completely and then offer the trigger again later.

Do I win something if my guess ends up being right? Shall we start a pool? lol

[thereismore]

9. That's funny. If you remove PO and medicare what do you have left to trigger? nt

[Clio the Leo]

10. A PO that only happens via a .....

.... Trigger. ;)
