3. For Nancy Pelosi's version, you could have used a photo of a Xerox machine...

...since she's prepared to Xerox the Senate bill as the final bill.

Nancy Pelosi, world's worst negotiator: "We want to defend our position" but "we have to yield on things."

Nancy Pelosi, world's worst negotiator: "The emphasis was not on 'public,' the emphasis was on 'option.'"

Nancy Pelosi, world's worst negotiator: "Whatever we have, it will be great."

5. Actually, here's a real comparison of the VT and Mass. plans:

BENNINGTON, Vt., May 11— Gov. Howard Dean, the only Governor who is a doctor, signed a law here today that sets in motion a plan to give Vermont universal health care by 1995.

The article is from 1992. Nearly 15 years later (2007), Vermont still has 9.1 percent uninsured. That's 5 percent more than the projections for the current bill.

Census Bureau reports that Massachusetts had the lowest 2008 rates of uninsured, while Texas had the highest.

14. how is that DLC disinformation plan going for you?

you know, when you attack Dean for a insurance bought and paid for plan, you undermine your credibility in the argument, right? Are you going to call Dean an elitist also?

[inna]

18. "undermining" credibility implies that there is some in the first place. nt

38. You just don't get it, ProSense. Never will.

DLC central command lacks basic sense of humor capability.
