I wonder what would happen if the Democrats worked as hard to |

get fellow Democrat Kucinich's health care reform vote as they have to get Republican Olympia Snowe's vote? Wouldn't we at least have a bill with the Kucinich amendment in the mix?

First be a little scared and somewhat stupid. And want the bad guys to think of you as one of them, so you have to kiss their ass, a lot.
Do all that and more and pretty soon you'll be a teabagger, 2.
There are somethings we should never do, eh? So why are so many bi? -Partisan-

that and acknowledging the fact that not all Democrats are liberal/progressive. So what are the priorities of the Democrats? Doing nothing because some are not getting everything they want, leaving the status quo intact? OR Doing something that could at least help some?

5. And if that "something" hurts Americans instead of helping them... |
|
...who cares? It's one in the "Win" column for Democrats, for which the voters will thank us in 2010 - but we may not like the way they thank us.
