and my final verdict was YES -- even though this this bill has been gutted and kicked around from side to side like a tattered football, personally, I still want it to go through...force it through and correct/improve/drop the shitty parts as we go along...Force it through, claim victory over the evil GOP, lobbyists, media and corporate teabag stooges; backlash be damned...

Why? Because this stopped being about healthcare reform a long time ago...Now it's just a pure test of strength, will and leverage...Too many times I've seen the Reid-led Senate backpedal and cede ground while spewing 100 different excuses on why they get nothing done while the GOP damn near gets anything they want and more out of sheer spite...THIS downtrodden, demoralized leftist needs to see ONE time the GOP get the same unapologetic "It's gonna happen anyway so lay back and try to enjoy it" -treatment which it has constantly and ceaselessly dished out...I need that one show of good faith to keep my morale up -- to see that someone up there is still willing to fight
