1. They don't listen to us. They're getting their Christmas presents.

Insurance lobbyist money.

3. Evan Bayh voted against drug importation. He owns stock in Eli Lilly

and his wife sits on the board of WellPoint.

We are wasting our time with the like of Bayh, a man that back in 2002 called the SWAT team when people came to his office to petition against the war in Iraq.

5. Feingold's Mailbox Was Full. Left A Message with Kohl

Maybe I shouldn't stop there. I should call the other 99. Whaddaya think?

6. The same mandate you all backed 2 days ago alongside a weak public option

that had zero effect on private insurance premiums?

Sorry, netroots activists: were you for the mandate before you were against it, even when substantively NOTHING has changed?

7. I was always against the mandate, like many other posters here n/t

[IndianaGreen]

9. I was always for Single Payer, HR676, Medicare for all

House bill was okay, nothing to cheer about, but still okay.

Senate HELP bill was okay too.

Baucus bill bad.

Lieberman/Obama bill really bad.

8. Kill the bill.

Try again.

10. Barbara Boxer is sending out fundraising mail furiously, in the face of Fiorina challenge.

I can't help but think that the simple point that, if the bill passes with a mandate, I (and many others I would guess) will no longer have any money to spare for campaigns... as I'll need to save that money to go buy myself some shitty insurance.

I'll be making the call in the morning...
