19. Not really. I believe his wife has ties to insurance companies, and this bill is a real boon to them

6. wow
It would be awesome if the vote winds up being 59-41. Just to mock Scott Brown some more for being that "crucial" 41st vote.

7. Finally, my Senator does something that doesn't make me ashamed.
Actually, I bet most Rethugs are worse. At least he supports repealing DADT. But he still sucks most of the time.

27. So he decided to pretend to be a liberal.
As long as it helps this get through, I don't care. He'll be back to his self-serving ways within seconds.

15. Correct, Collins,, I get those Maine ladies mixed up..
:) But yes you are right she does not sound sincere. It is a shame she has been beaten down by the hard core extremists in her party. I was hoping she might be one yes vote from the rightwingnut party.

14. Poor Olympia
She's missing the glory days, when she was the belle of the ball. Now she's just yesterday's prom dress, wrinkled up on the floor, in need of a washin'. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving attention hog.

22. Interesting Cornyn dismissed the reading of the bill..
That would have extended the length of the debate.

24. Sanders is on fire.
Where were the Republicans on health care when they controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House?

Sanders said Reid promised a vote on public option in a few months.
