This whole sham, conducted in back rooms, using strong-arm tactics, and thinly veiled bribery of other legislators (Nelson, Landrieu, Dodd, etc) from both parties. I happen to live in Nevada and anxiously await my opportunity to turn "Dirty Harry" Reid out of office. I just hope public opinion can hold off the legislation that will at last give the Bleeding Left what they have always wanted: "Cradle to Grave" federal control of our own bodies.

As progressive thinkers seem to back away slowly from the hope of healthcare reform as if they are trying to let us down gently without startling the angry beast, it becomes our responsibility as a people to insist that our politicians continue to stand up for what we as a society and a country need/want. Washington should know that these beasts, our people, are angry; and after watching a year of "sausage making" we will accept nothing less than comprehensive healthcare reform. Love it! You’re right!
