DO NOT take your eyes off the bastids.
The Rethugs got pwn3d because of the Scott Brown election and other factors. They let their guard down.

While everybody is in an uproar about threats and lawsuits, somebody better watch every move they make in Congress and in private. I'm not talking about HCR per se, but some flanking maneuver they may come up with.

This would be a perfect time for a payback if they can think of one. Not all of them are gomers although they appear that way.

Heres an example: GOP Blocks Unemployment Benefits.. Again...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/senate-begins-game-of-chi_n_513620.html

While Senate Democrats held a press conference celebrating their latest health care reform victory on Thursday afternoon, a Republican slipped into the chamber to move a bill that would extend soon-to-expire enhanced unemployment benefits -- paid for with $10 billion in unused funds from the stimulus bill.

2. Here's another one... We dont have $10 Billion for jobs...but 33 Billion for war? No Problem
Pentagon wants $33 billion more for war in Afghanistan

The Pentagon's request for a $33 billion war supplemental for Afghanistan has Congress concerned about long-term costs. Training Afghan security forces, for instance, could take years.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared before Senate appropriators to defend the war supplemental, which is on top of the $708 billion baseline budget submitted to Congress in February.

Most of the war supplemental – a separate account used to pay for war costs – will pay for Afghanistan operations. Of that, $2.6 billion is to train the Afghan national security force, seen as a long-term endeavor that Congress worries could become a burden over time.
