Without a real public option, the Democrats are going to have a hard time generating enthusiasm

[Armstead]

If we end up being forced to buy insuance -- and if the only choices are private insurance companies -- even with this so called new "compromise" -- the Democratic Party is going to LOSE the enthusiasm of many people.

Goddamn, if the GOP were in charge, at least we would not be forced into a Corporate Nanny State MANDATE to further line the pockets of insurance companies and empty our wallets when we can not afford it.

The way this is going down, it seems that even if the Democrats had a 70 seat majority in the Senate and Obama in the White House, they'd still find a way to lose on every issue.
