I would be very gentle with those crows my friends, you may well be eating them come November.

First, Collins and Snowe have been taking a bit of flak from their voters, folks in Maine are an independent lot and they no more enjoy being screwed by big Pharma and the insurance briberey (Lobbyists) than you or I.

Second; So Ried just puts the bill to a vote, the Republicans filibuster, and filibuster until the public get thoroughly pissed with them and the vote takes place - all it needs is 51 votes, so up yours Mitch.

Third; If people in this country are as stupid as some believe (I don't) then they will bring the GOP back for four more years and you won't have a country left to talk about, maybe Mexico will annex it for you, I won't care because I will be somewhere in the Maritime Provinces.
