Hey, BASE

[cilla4progress]

Are we mobilized? Are we enthused? Are we fired up and READY TO GO?

[FrenchieCat]

1. Ready to kick some Republican ASS!

and some "Voting No Conservadem" Ass!

Ready and Able! :patriot:

[Oregone]

2. No

Were apathetic and ignored, being passed over for the new Democrats (those who peeled from the Republicans by being ostracized by the extremist antics). They are like the new girl in 5th grade class, and all the leadership is wooing them to make a lasting impression. Oh, please don't leave our tent. Its so large. Don't mind these assholes in the corner.

[cilla4progress]

9. That's OK brother -

we're here for you, if you change your mind. I respect your right to your opinion. It's the "American way".

[SlingBlade]

17. K & R That ! New Democrats with old Corporate Ways

[JVS]

3. We don't have any leadership.

[cilla4progress]

10. Explain?

If this is your disappointment in the final legislation talking, I share your woe. But, BUT - this to me is like inching out of the side of the curb, grabbing on with fingernails to fight that 5% that has 95% of American wealth and saying, "WE DON'T GIVE YET; WE ARE STILL HERE; IT MAY BE ONLY CRUMBS, BUT BY GOD, IT WILL SUSTAIN US (BECAUSE IT HAS TO) UNTIL WE GET OUR FAIR SHARE. WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"

I know it's pathetic, but, analyzing historically, this is how it has always worked. Evolution: it's a long, slow slog. At least we're moving in the right direction.

4. Cautiously optimistic, I will be fired up when it passes

[gateley]

5. Woo HOO! Click here:

6. Not so much.

No.

[cilla4progress]

11. Disappointed in the bill?

Me too. To have to fight so hard for so little. It sucks. But, I think once it passes, assuming it passes, each reform the Dems bring will have an easier time. This includes immediate modifications to HCR, including Grayson's Medicare for All. We must dream big.

[TransitJohn]

15. Immediate modifications to Hillary Rodham Clinton?

Typo? :evilgrin:

[cilla4progress]

25. Funny! Edited!

Must have been a Freudian slip! Speaking of the Clintons...I guess Bill was great last night at the Gridiron. Seems they're all in the zone right now. I do wonder what they are thinking as they watch this, in view of their own experience some 16 years ago.

[RandomThoughts]

7. Fired up, Ready to GO!

Don't Stop Me Now.

[LWolf]

13. For what, exactly?

I'm fired up and ready to take the privatizers, union-busters, and corporate stooges down wherever they appear.

[cilla4progress]

14. Exactly!

[area51]

16. All Your Base ...

... Are Belong to Us.

Signed,
The Private, Unregulated, For-Profit Insurance Companies

xxxoxxxo

[rcrush]

19. you win the thread.

[SlingBlade]

21. Not all, Some of us took the other pill.

[cilla4progress]

26. I'm HOPING

they are going to be regulated FINALLY after this bill passes.

[DefenseLawyer]

18. What is the polar opposite of everything you said?

I would be that.

[tabbycat31]

20. if this is not fired up i dont know what is

this was at a healthcare rally yesterday--- I'm holding the sign

[LWolf]

22. So I take it you've been fired up to oppose this bill and

support universal, single-payer, NOT-FOR-PROFIT health CARE, since medical debt will still be a problem with the current insurance bill.

[tabbycat31]

24. this bill is not perfect

but it was a step in the right direction. I spoke with two congressmen on Tuesday, and the progressive Democrat (Rush Holt) I spoke to thinks that within 10 years we will have single payer. This bill is not the be all end all. He thinks it will get better over time

[LWolf]

29. Since it doesn't address the actual dysfunction in the system,

it will never be the true solution, no matter how much it's "tweaked."

[cilla4progress]

27. Lovely!

Thanks for submitting!

[Odin2005]

23. No, I'm bleeding with Obama's knife shoved into my back.

[cilla4progress]

28. Ok!

That's your prerogative! I honor it!
