As terrible as Coakley is doing, I'm not hearing enough of "Brown will kill Kennedy's dream. He will kill reform!"

1. That's because they already have shitty corporate mandated insurance.

They know what the country is in for.

4. Actually polls show Massachusetts residents strongly support their state plan.

8. Is there any truth to the meme that HCR will increase MA taxpayers cost

The MSM is saying that MA voters are against HCR because they already have health care reform on a state level and will wind up paying for HCR in other states if the federal system becomes law?

11. Well, they're wrong. OK? Just wrong. The actual real world...

5. You are right, but

2. Brown's party wants to get rid of Medicare!

[valerief]

3. Yeah. We get to choose between shit and diarrhea. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

the Dem health bill is not the end of the road - it can be worked on to get to single payer. The GOP on the other hand exits and privatizes EVERYTHING!

[valerief]

17. Why would I vote GOP? I'm not brain dead. nt

6. Whether disconnected, or apathetic, or downright against it, it's not good.

10. They can't be...it's the only thing anyone talks about here. n/t

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

12. Thanks for letting me know that I am "disconnected."

:eyes:

There are ads saying that voting for Brown will kill Ted's dream.

15. MA voters already have an insurance mandate that failed

.. failed to provide access to affordable health care..
MA voters already know what a failure this mandate bill will be..

[Davis_X_Machina]

16. Here's what failure looks like:

Link.

Note especially the popularity of repeal, at 11%.

18. If Brown wants to kill HCR he's too late

the Democrats in the Senate already did that.

19. The shitty bill pending passage is a far cry form Kennedy's dream, maybe that's why
