The health care bill wasn't the end of anything - it was the beginning. And while it's absolutely appropriate to take time to celebrate a huge legislative victory - and the fact that the wingers' loss was as big as Obama's win - I really hope progressives/Democrats/whatever remain engaged.
Make no mistake folks, this legislation, flawed as it may be, drove a stake right into the heart of the Limbaugh/Beck/Fox News right. They are going to be more pissed than ever now - which is why this side needs to stay in the game and keep on fighting.

1. Exactly! And I TRULY URGE the naysayers |

to not hijack yet another thread with their negativity. You have a right to your opinion, certainly, but start your own thread and express it there. I'm just so tired of every single celebratory thread being brought down by cynicism.

start hitting the alert button, though I hate to..It's like being a tattletail (to me), but I'm sick of them also. They contribute nothing and no one is going to bring me down.

6. I guess that's one way to avoid an opinion that doesn't exactly match yours. |

It doesn't do much for actual conversation but then I suspect that those who are jumping up and down aren't much interested in that.

Exactly! I keep hoping that this will steel the reserves of the Dems in congres, that they don't need to play nice, they need to get this shit DONE!
we have housing issues, bank regs, jobs, environment...oh and that PEACE thing, too.
Let's make it happen!

Obama was wrong... this is just the beginning.
But damn if he didn't pull a rabbit out of the hat. The Obama magic lives!!
Now if he'd just exit Afghanistan...
