Senate debates Health Care Bill

Keeping our fingers crossed. I do think Snowe has an independent mind.

Oh, I think Clarence deserves a skosh more credit than that, lol!

Thank you, bito. But it’s only 8pm where I am. I always make that mistake.

Now RECIPES would have been worth hearing. Better than the bs we had to sit through today!

I’m not giving up on Snowe. Or Cantwell. They knew the dems had 60 votes today. I think they both want health care reform. And it looks like the party of no coalition just might be weakening, what with Palin’s interference and her destructive impact.

I’m thinking we should always follow a nerve-racking vote with a music thread. Last night’s was fabulous.

They might step up if they’re actually needed. I still have hopes for Maine.

Where someone actually talked? It’s been a while. Someone read from the phone book once.

Or infants. And that’s all I’m going to say about this.

Wow, that is news to me. I did not realize the Senate bill could be blocked again after amendments.

What’s up with that procedure? It seems to be designed to get nothing done.

There is no banning here. Alors, a bientot!

I think your explanation is spot on.

Yes, that is you. My dogs seem to need nothing from me but dinner. I think I get much more from them. They are terrific companions. Better than most people — present company excepted.

We’ve had a question today — the next cloture vote — would that be on the conferenced bill, or is there another chance for a filibuster on the Senate bill?

I can’t help but think about all the nail biting followed by really good news since Mr. Obama came on the scene. First the primary — my apologies to Hillary fans, but I was an Obama supporter. Then the election. Then Sotomayor. The House health care vote — another squeeker. And now the Senate Cloture vote.

I could get used to this nail-biting, happy sigh of relief routine if we keep making progress.

Without dogs, I would not be a sane person. Without cats, I believe I’d be a little saner.

Phew!

It’s the max the two dogs will allow!

I think the good fight is better fought by leaving the site and sending a message that progressives are looking for something better.

What’s the minimum. I have 2.

» Posted By nellie On November 21, 2009 @ 6:35 pm

Is that what that sound was! 😉

That small nun can relax now!

One of the Repubs. I don’t know who it is.

They may come around for the conference report.

» Posted By nellie On November 21, 2009 @ 5:09 pm

That’s 60!

Did they call Lieberman? Is he absent?

» Posted By nellie On November 21, 2009 @ 5:01 pm

Your article on Why politics? is posted. Great idea for a thread. Thanks!

Here we go.

Mitch McConnell: “If we don’t stop this now, it’s going to take 60 votes to change this bill.”

Good.

“The American People … want us to start over.”

What a liar.

Harry Reid re Mitch McConnell: “The facts he’s talking about do not exist.”

Thank you, Harry.
