They've Got the Votes...No They Don't...Yes they do...
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm getting sick and tired of
the media constantly reporting that members of Congress have or don't
have the votes to pass the health care reform bill (their version -
House or Senate).
I wish they'd just stop talking about it and maybe one day soon we'll know the truth -- either it died or it lived.
Meanwhile -- SHUT UP WHY DON'T YA -- go find some other news to talk about.
Give us a BREAK!

P.S. The cafe-klatsch thing is fine on most days, but this was just too dispiriting to bear:
Yesterday I posted a list of preliminary Democratic votes compiled with much effort by the SEIU and posted it with a request to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE.
Nobody read it. It had one recommend other than my own (yes, I recommended my own post because it was important). I did see, however, numerous posts about everything and nothing under the sun other than the business at hand.
The Health Care Reform Bill passed in the House tonight, no thanks to the folks here at TPM cafe who have a tendency to post buttloads of rants, yet ignore the posts that might just further a progressive agenda.
Thanks for nothing (with exception of the very few).
And before anyone starts ranting about the current bill: READ IT.
This was pretty much my last straw. There is yet so much more work to be done if we ever want to accomplish anything, and apparently TPMCafe isn't the place to ask for help.
I'm done.
