3. Voters were against the bankster bailouts by a 7 or 8 to 1 margin...doesn't matter.
They do what they want to do.

5. Oh, but...they couldn't pass a public option...the public was against it...this is the best bill we
could get. It occurred to me in August that Obama was letting the astroturfers sound off unopposed to drive support for a PO down without having to stand accountable. It occurred to me but I still thought we were playing chess.

6. So when do mandates start? In 2010 or 2013?
If in 2013, there are 3 years to reverse the whole thing

8. And who shall we count on to lead this effort
Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 03:04 PM by laughingliberal
The House and Senate which are shoving it through, now. What will they say after they voted for it? We were for it before we were against it? Yeah, that'll work. There are only 2 ways this crap will get reversed.

1) Republicans take back the legislature and repeal it finding other, better ways to give our money to the wealthy
2) After many have been impoverished by it years from now. Any attempts the Democrats make to improve it at that point will fail as people saw what happened last time they tried to 'help.' It will be repeal or nothing.

10. And "nothing" will be the choice.
The health insurance cabal and big pharma really want this bill to pass.

9. Let us hope that our Democratic leaders see this poll and heed its message.
Passing the individual mandate will be a disaster for the Democratic Party.
